Non-Political Coronavirus Thread

[ConnorEl]

Have a good friend who was fired from her nursing position in Fargo on friday because she complained to her supervisors about unsafe working conditions.

Not a good time to be in the Dakotas

Probably she was correct the conditions weren’t safe. Probably it’s as much how she said it as anything else.

Just speculating.

A good system, however, will aggressively value the safety of their workers. And exercise a good bit of allowance that everyone is stressed as hell so maybe forebear a good bit of “attitude” (or whatever).

Agree, she should be able to find another job pretty quickly. Hopefully an even better one. Good luck to her.

It is increasingly likely that we will have our winter of discontent and then a glorious summer by this son of Pfizer, Moderna, and others.

Nothing but a good news barrage lately!

That Celebratory Cheese Board looks like somebody spent three minutes unwrapping cheese.

Other than making your own cheese how else do you suggest assembling a cheese plate?

It is the beginning of the end for the COVID-19 pandemic.

I mean, it'll be late Spring / early Summer before cases really come in, but it sounds like there are going to be enough doses for the US & EU to end this debacle in 2021. The most up-to-date estimate I've seen is that every American will have access to a vaccine by June. It could be even sooner if the other vaccines in late-stage development work as well as what we've seen so far.

Concerns about people not taking it are overblown. I was in the camp that a lot of people wouldn't take it right away, but efficacy is the #1 factor for consumers deciding whether or not to take it. It works... And if it works at 95%+, people will take it.

Beyond that, treatments are improving at a rapid rate due to a number of factors.

To be clear, I'm not saying it is time for life to return to normal... But it appears that we're only a few months away from that "renormalization" process beginning in earnest.

from your lips to god's ears, man

i'll believe it all when i see it, but man i hope you're right

Man I hope this is right- I swear this whipsaws around daily- I thought the latest think was that immunity wasn't that durable and would mostly wane after 3-6 months?

They could have at least sliced it.

ETA: The hard cheeses, I mean. I'm not an animal, suggesting it all be pre-portioned.

When deciding whether to live long-term in Los Angeles or not, fancy high end cheese shops where they'll let you try shit out before ya buy it and they provide the baguette with sliced meats is somewhere in my top 15 reasons to stay

Nah man you put out your specialty cheese knives for folks to use.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic (a strange response to what seems like good news from the NYT) or just really misunderstood RIII.

Actually, you're overemphasizing the context of the phrase in the play here.

pfizer going for final approval now; expect production to start soon.

Also, their "final analysis" shows that it is 95% effective, not 90% as initially reported.

Would this work and how do we make it a reality if so? https://time-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/time.com/5912705/covid-19-stop-spread-christmas/?amp=true

I’ll give you a hint as to why it’s not going to happen

What does this mean? It's the opening monologue.
