Also we were already at a lower number, which will be hard to reduce further because of morons who think the vaccine will hurt them.

I knew the British variant was significantly more transmissible than the original virus, but I hadn't read before that it's also estimated to be 67% more deadly until today

The more people who catch it, the more people die, even if it’s the same lethality as the OG strain.
The CDC's new mask guidance is a bullshit watered down half measure that's more likely to make people think the vaccines don't work than it is to get people to keep wearing masks almost all the time.
I just noticed that the pharmacy tech and walmart wrote the wrong date on my vaccine card for my second shot. I got the second Moderna shot April 5th, but she wrote May 3rd which would have been 28 days later, the recommended date to get the second shot if April 5th was my first dose. She must have written the 4/5/21 and 5/3/21 hundreds of times that day and jotted the wrong one down on my card. So, do I need to get a new card with the correct date?
which is greater?
1. the risk of adverse health events/contributing to community spread due to Covid-19 for a fully vaccinated person, or
2. the risk of adverse health events/contributing to community spread due to the flu in a normal year, regardless of whether one received a flu shot?
(the answer is #2...by a lot...so will CDC be recommending masks in perpetuity?)
yeah, the overcorrection on risk related to Covid compared with other things we live with is annoying
not saying we're out of the woods yet because of mutations and kids not being vaccinated and other countries not being vaccinated and all that, but there seems to be a sense that the risk has to get far below the threshold we tolerate for things like the flu, driving cars, etc. before we can talk about normalcy
people are emotional in their thinking
