How surprising are the vaccinated Yankees’ COVID-19 cases? Experts explain the implications
How did eight vaccinated members of the Yankees test positive for COVID-19? And what can it teach us about how the vaccines work?www.yahoo.com
Yes - why would anyone choose a 65% effective vaccine vs a 90%+ effective one ? Because they don't want to get 2 shots ...J&J. Weak sauce.
Yes - availability played a big part early on.
This is very good to know. I don't expect 100% protection but would like NOT to be hospitalized or worse.
Maher is now among the fully vaccinated people who have contracted what the CDC calls a “breakthrough case” of the virus. There is “some evidence that vaccination may make illness less severe,” the CDC’s website reads, which appears to be the case for the late-night host. As the agency explains, “COVID-19 vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control. However no vaccines are 100% effective at preventing illness.”Vaccinated Bill Maher Caught COVID-19, Cancels Friday’s ‘Real Time’
The host tweeted that he’s feeling “perfectly fine,” and HBO said it will reschedule the scrapped episode.www.vanityfair.com
This has always been the case - the "target" becomes the floor and we are always above / missing the target. Politicians are desperate to help their donors / improve their image.
Went to the food store today and was actually anxious that there'd be unmasked people but the sign requiring everyone to wear a mask was still on the doors and everyone inside had a mask on. As always a few people inept at wearing a mask, but that's expected. My wife thinks this policy change is too soon because people will flatout lie about being vaccinated. She sees too many vaccine refusers to believe people won't lie.
Ohio is doing five consecutive $1 million lotteries. That'll deliver a lot more bang for the buck than a straight cash handout, IMHO.

May be - but I think a bad incentive. Better to hand out cash to everyone, rather than one lucky person. They can also have that $1M lottery if they want ...
But, masks are still required in public transport, hospitals, care facilities, any place that still has local/regional/state masking requirements, and any business that still require it.not sure about the confusion... pretty straightforward guidance;
vaccinated = no mask
not vaccinated = wear mask
People who are used to wearing a mask will probably continue to do so for a couple of weeks - afterall we all know a lot of unvaccinated people go around without a mask.
