I agree with the Wired opinion piece that if there isn't honest, straight-forward coverage of the vaccine trials now, there will be more vaccine conspiracy theories later. https://www.wired.com/story/covid-19-vaccines-with-minor-side-effects-could-still-be-pretty-bad/ I haven't read the Oxford paper, but I know that they tested at least three 'strengths' of vaccine, abandoning at least one because of the side effects. I don't know whether the Wired article is distinguishing between these events. Edited July 22, 2020 by Laura Corin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Honestly, if I have to go through a few days of uncomfortable symptoms and take Tylenol every 6 hours and the tradeoff is not having to worry about COVID, I could live with the symptoms in the Wired article, even if it's a yearly vaccine. My immune system has a tendency to overreact, so I kind of assume that I will feel bad after almost any vaccine (and I always get flu vaccines on a Friday so I can be pretty much past the reaction by Monday). Of course, given the way my immune system reacts, I also do not believe I have any chance of an asymptomatic infection, so I am guessing COVID, for me, is somewhere on the scale between several weeks of misery (which is what the flu is if I don't have a flu shot that year) and death. I think this may be a "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" situation. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellifera33 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 With the number of people who tell me "I don't get the flu shot because it gives me the flu" when they have minor side effects of flu vax, I don't want to imagine the uproar when a bunch of people are claiming "Covid vax gave me covid!!!!" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmseB Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Fwiw, I have heard the same sort of thing happening with the second shot of the newer shingles vaccine -- prepare to be knocked down for 24 hrs or so. Like a pp, if I knew efficacy was good, I'd take a day or two of side effects and get the vaccine. But I also know people who think the red bump you get on your arm is evidence of "toxins", so I know I have a higher tolerance than most.

Acadie Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The flooding in China is first and foremost a humanitarian disaster, but I heard from someone who works at Costco and another retailer that it's contributing to major supply chain disruptions, both in terms of manufacturing and transport of goods. People have posted here about restocking for a second wave of Covid (or an intensifying of this wave) and the flooding is yet another reason to do. Disposable masks are harder to come by in my area, for one thing, after being more available for the past month. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they test positive they were already able to access emerganvy relief payment of $1500 People who are receiving any other payment, or have sick days available or time in Lou or whatever will not be eligible. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewelma Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 So apparently 7000 spaces in quarantine is all the NZ has the capacity for -- that is 500 people per day. They have looked at every city and every hotel, and are using every single one that will work. As the minister in charger of quarantine said "we are now close to exhausting our nationwide capacity." This has implications for my ds getting home because they now have to match the demand to the limited supply. There are about 800,000 kiwis living overseas, many of whom want/need to come back. Citizens will be unable to book a flight to NZ until they can also secure a space in quarantine. I don't know how they will choose who gets the limited spots. So I think when I say goodbye to ds as he heads back to the USA for university, it will be a very long good bye.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 We saw some friends off to the Philippines yesterday. It is going to be a long and arduous prospect for them, especially as they are traveling with three kids, but I was still impressed with what the Philippine government has in place. There are limits on who can get into the country. Only citizens and spouses of citizens at this point. Once you arrive in Manila you are given a COVID test and have to stay at a government hotel (3 to 4 days) for results to come in. If you test positive then you stay longer. If negative, you are released to travel to your province but you must have a pass to go from one province to another. Once in their city, they are tested again and have to go into very strict 14 day quarantine at a government hotel. No going outside even for exercise. The Philippines has had a lot of people die from this but nothing even close to what has happened in the US despite being a much much poorer country with significant infrastructure issues. But I firmly believe that it is because they have had good leadership on this and a population that is following the advice of scientists and medical professionals. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootAnn Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Dd#2, d#3 & I went shopping for "back to school" clothes & supplies today in the Big City. Almost every store had a mask requirement (only one city in it has one & our governor is "looking at [his] legal options" against it) and traffic was still much less than the normal that I used to see a year ago. Living in small town USA in the middle of nowhere where hardly anyone masks & life is "back to normal" sometimes makes the pandemic seem far away, but I wanted to share my wins today. I found hand sanitizer in stock for the first time since April & I also scored two containers of Chlorox wipes. (There were more, but I can get by with two for the next couple of months. I had just picked up some Lysol wipes before the run on disinfectants but have been out & 'making do' for a month.) I am hoping there is testing capacity for all the college students going back to school in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border closures are devastating for refugees, obviously. Some friends of mine were this.close to getting their two young children out of a country that has been dealing with civil war for the last 7 years when the borders closed because of corona. Flights have reopened in one direction, but not the other, and even when they do reopen, I don’t know how long it’ll take to secure tickets for those two children on limited flights with high demand. And refugees in camps can at least count on housing and education to continue to be provided at a most basic level, even if there’s no work (as long as wealthy countries keep funding UNHCR). I don’t see how refugee families here can afford to send their children to school till next year, and so many refugee children are already behind in school because of fleeing war. And getting vaccines to refugees who aren’t in camps? At least when a vaccine is available, distribution is easier in a refugee camp. Corona has been hard here. 😪 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one random samples from everyone with a cold, that’s still pretty close to true. Then our true number of cases is actually linearly proportional to the positivity rate, and assuming the IFR is about constant, the deaths lag the POSITIVITY and not the (pretty meaningless) absolute case numbers. If you take a look, the deaths do correspond far better to positivity than to any other statistic. Ok, I admit I had to reread a couple times to work that out. 😋 That does make sense. I have been following how you've been linking positivity with deaths. That is a good explanation for why that connection is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the two, I'm guessing Householder is more significant.
