We’re booked for Europe on Royal in August of next year and probably will push that off...

Look at Disney - not my thing usually - out of New York in October instead
Did one out of NY, never again. Bad time of the year.. really rough sailing down.. don’t like NY port or maybe I’m just used to PC. Maybe a better time of year would make it better. Haven’t looked at cruises leaving NY in a long time.

I meant that more money typically means more intelligence equals better decisions...

But not always
Maybe replace “money” with “years of education”. There’s a whole lotta money in SW Montana, but it’s made raising beef cattle and other agricultural endeavors. Some tour operator owners. And hunting lodge ranch owners. They know a whole lot about a lot of things. But 0.2micron respiratory viruses? Not any level of respect to be given to that when wolves literally want your herd. And that’s a dangerous mentality to have and share with your employees, visitors, customers, and family.

Hope this is nothing
Just saw that. Hope it’s nothing, as well. BUT...
It’s one vaccine (albeit an early front runner) of many currently in trial. Also, the fact that our NIH wants to obtain tissue from the patient and perform their own, independent review that may take months shows that it’s at least one agency not being strong armed. Also, the AZ/Oxford vaccine is not similarly designed to the two mRNA vaccines also in final phase trials in the US

1. Statistically, the driving in New Jersey is better...contrary to the eye test
2. Our gas is still cheaper than man places due to lower gas taxes
Regional driving differences is a much better topic.

Having learned to drive in NJ, and then lived in several other Northeast and Mid Atlantic states, there is one thing that definitely sticks out as different.

What people do when a light changes. Either from red to green or greed to yellow and red.

Learning in NJ, I learned that when a light turns green, you MUST hit the gas. That the first three cars will all hit the gas as soon as the light changes. If you're in the front two and you don't, the third car will rear end you. Likewise, while a yellow might mean speed up, a red definitely meant stop. As those cars gunning the green would hit you.

While during my time in CT, I learned that when the light turned green, count to two before going. There were some almost rear ends while I learned this change and the car in front didn't move. This was because in CT, the change from green to yellow to red apparently only suggests stopping and frequently a car or two would come through in that two count.

I assume the car on the Tomorrowland Speedway rear ending me is a NJ driver while the one stationary in front is from CT. The one from Boston is trying to jump the guide rail and go around because of the slowdown.

With a 52% positive rate and only 122 tests it doesn't seem like too many random, asymptomatic people were tested. I don't think I'd look at those results as a sign of a significant increase in disease prevalence.
It's not that random testing is missing. It's that insufficient contacts from those positive and from whomever they originally had contact with have been tested. A 52% positive rate means there's no idea what community spread is going on. It could be back luck, and everyone was tested, but more likely there's lots of spread occurring that nobody knows about. That's what leads to increases in cases as it grows faster than people are isolated.

The concern is really just that the company isn’t being as transparent as they would like. I don’t think the British equivalent of the FDA would go forward if there was a real safety issue, but the US regulators can’t just take their word for it. Once the data is shared they will know more. If they don’t share the data then the trial shouldn’t restart.

You know what's funny?
Those are the side effects for every medication and vaccine ever taken. Haha

I wish I was lying when a patient reported a saline allergy years ago. Upon further questioning, there was redness and swelling at the site of an IV from an infiltrated vein and a nurse (probably a young student honestly) told this poor woman she was having an allergic reaction.
AZ announced this event a week ago, and isn’t uncommon (pauses not TM - that deserves a full look). Now, every other major trial is going to need a “cya” presser in the middle of data gathering. I really wish we weren’t so “informed” in real time sometimes.

My favorite scene in the movie Starman when the Starman learns to drive by observation. "Red means stop, green means go, yellow means go real fast" :)

That’s backwards...the “get back to livin” sect has delayed getting back to living by six months by being stupid...

Life is getting back to normal in most places where they just shut up and did the right thing.

Not in the Anglican world - except Canada.
This is where I disagree with you, but you already know that.

Sometimes it is us healthcare workers that are too crusty and raw for the rest of society. Sometimes, though I am empathic, my circle of people look at me with awe that I’m not shocked when people die. It doesn’t help that my wife was a CVICU and trauma nurse for years. We get along best with active duty military and combat vets 🤣
Haven't you learned by now not to talk about work? LOL
