Orlando schools are waking up and smelling the roses!

Thank you for the kind words but the point was out of 14 people, 3 got it. Wasn’t talking about the vaccines effectiveness. We know that’s great.

Sorry brain fried and read it differently. Forgive me. Pieced together literally a one day trip for Ratatouille today

I hope they all remain mild and recover quickly!

 

[correcaminos]

Err no... I know people that got Covid-19 in early 2020, they recovered fine. This is a serious illness but this here needless fearmongering borderline trolling.

All cases matter though. I know people who were super mild. Some asymptomatic. Some died. Some long haulers. Some hospitalized. Not everything is one end or the other.

You know the rules here. Ignore and deny anything positive and constantly root for the negative in the name of being right.

Since when is pointing out the facts considered "rooting or the negative"? Sorry if people don't want to hear the bad news, reality is the current numbers in Florida are really bad.

Here is the weekly report from the Florida DOH (data published 5:21pm).

It seems to me that there is a HUGE issue with people not getting the second shot of the two dose vaccines. Based upon the weekly first dose numbers, there is no way there should be almost 2 million people in the "one but not two" dose category. Maybe the media should focus on this issue which should be solvable. 63% of eligible residents with at least one dose isn't terrible and it went up 2% this past week but all of those people with ONLY one dose are a problem.

Baltimore City went back to a mask mandate. I'd like to applaud the mayor...

What about the people that did get vaccinated and were told "either get the vaccine or wear a mask?"

Wonder if that is their way of skirting the law.

 

[DisneyCane]

Technically they aren't mandating anything.

 

[danlb_2000]

Technically they aren't mandating anything.

Yeah, that's what I mean, a mandate with a no-condition exception, is not really a mandate.

 

[DonniePeverley]

You due have some that want the rates to go down and life returning to normality by everyone else getting the vaccine - NOT THEM, whilst they live of the benefits.

The last few days rate increase should come as shock to everyone.

The numbers out of Florida are quite shocking. I have to say I expected more repercussions in the Spring from lack of vaccination, but when that really didn't materialize, I thought maybe we were out of the woods.

The options frankly at this point are to get the vaccine or eventually get COVID. Best to choose something on your own terms than roll the dice. Which doesn't help those who actually can't make the choice.

I really don't think anywhere in the world is going to be able to get this under control until kids can get vaccinated.

Most likely between next month or October/November that is FDA will approval vaccines for kids as we will get under control before end of the year.

 

[JoeCamel]

Time to face it, FDA approval for kids will be early next year and it will take time to get shots in their arms. All this will end eventually but not on a timeline any of us would want. Lower numbers by the end of the year but full control so mitigation measures are totally gone? I doubt that will happen.

Pfizer said in a statement to NBC News it anticipates results on its clinical trials in kids ages 5 to 11 sometime in September, and then could apply for emergency use authorization. "Data for kids 2 and under 5 could arrive soon after that," the company said, adding that results on kids ages 6 months up to 2 years may not be released until October or November.


so likely later fall for the 5-11 and later for the rest

Covid vaccines for kids under 12 expected midwinter, FDA official says

After emergency use authorization, the agency hopes to move quickly to full approval.

How long NJ Transit and Amtrak will lift masks for good soon for trains before end of the year? @GoofGoof

Well…about that Federal transportation mask requirement that expires in September….I’m going to go out on a limb and say that will get extended . No clue if its until the end of the year, but there’s a good chance it is at least that long.

I think federal transportation mask requirement will may expires in September as by if unvaccinated people will getting vaccinated I say that is the Northeast states such as NY, NJ, PA, CT, MA, DC, etc will expire mask requirement for trains and buses by September or October because there was high vaccination areas. @GoofGoof
