Yes and no. I took a big hit at the beginning as everyone did. Eventually the sba covered that. But even if they hadn’t I would have survived.
The sad truth is some businesses couldn’t or wouldn’t pivot. Sometimes it’s hard to say which one and in most cases was a mix. It‘s also a fact that many small businesses (and some large corporations like your examples) go bankrupt every year. It’s impossible to really say one way or the other if the businesses that went under in the last 18 months would have survived without required shutdowns or capacity limits. It’s likely some would have and others would have gone under anyway. It’s also very likely that many of the businesses that went under suffered as much or more from the pandemic itself vs forced limitations. We can look at the number of businesses that failed and say it’s up from previous years but it’s not accurate to say all those extra failures were related to government imposed restrictions. Some would have happened anyway because people were doing less. How many small businesses in FL went under since last September when all state level restrictions were lifted? This pandemic was devastating for certain areas of the economy.
See the excellent video above. It was in a rat study where they were given a dose of the lipids at a much higher dose than humans receive (so on a weight-adjusted scale, about a factor of 1,0000 greater). And then of course, the antivaxxers misinterpreted it and ran with it. Once again, using the classic canard of "How do we know this won't cause...?"
(I knew it wasnt true, but didn’t want to come off as rude)
I sometimes lose my sense of decorum with antivaxxer misinformation...
Total doses. Right now it’s been closer to 2 to 1 first vs second so I’d guess over 600K new first doses.
They also used absolute risk reduction instead of relative risk reduction. Using absolute risk has value and have read papers contrasting it to relative risk. But when they downplay a vaccine’s effectiveness because it only had a 5% ARR (Absolute Risk Reduction), I believe they chose to use it because the public conflates it with Relative Risk. They are trying to deceive the general public.I am pretty sure that claim has been debunked...
COVID-19 vaccines don’t affect ovaries or fertility in general; the vaccines are highly effective at preventing illness and death
Real-world evidence shows that the COVID-19 RNA vaccines are highly effective at preventing illness and death. There is evidence indicating that spike protein during infection can lead to damage, but this isn’t representative of the situation in vaccination. The level of spike protein generated...healthfeedback.org
Never said you weren't vaccinated so do not put words in my mouth. Thanks.
At least they are all asymptomatic or mild.
Scared of Moby Dick ? Me too. Me too.
Given that these were primarily crew, one could ascertain that the PPE/mask wearing is probably a little lax in their backstage/crew areas.
I can only imagine the crew area cabins are much smaller than the guest cabins and our cabin was tiny when I cruised.
Robert Malone, although an important figure in the world of MRNA vaccines, has become quite controversial and has aligned himself with alt-right/anti-vax nonsense.
Indeed! I’ve seen crew areas on ships. Their cabins ARE tiny. However, I would imagine the bigger challenge is when the crew socializes afterhours. I’m guessing there is little mask use.
