We made as much a mess as anyone, so not sure we can pass blame on to anyone from here in the U.K.

Given the massive drop in international travel since the beginning of the year, probably not as many as you might think. No reasonable attempt can be made to accurately calculate that given that you cannot possibly control for enough variables.

As for the second part, Best to keep your posting about the USA#1 Evil Empire of Genocidal Evil to the POG Politics thread.

Bosnia and North Macedonia have brought us up to 8 countries with 0.1% of the population dead from COVID. 15 US states have hit that mark and New Jersey has passed 0.2%.

I have a question about the vaccine re: allergies.

Am I correct in understanding that the vaccine is only potentially bad for people with bee-type allergies? i.e., not allergic to stuff like trees/grass/etc.

My Mom, who still gets 90% of her news from a newspaper and 10% from TV just said to me last night that I should go get an allergy test from a Dr. before taking the vaccine because it has shown some side effects in people with shellfish allergies.

I may have had negative reactions to that when I was 6, but I've been eater shrimp, lobster, crab, and scallops for 20+ years.

If I hate shrimp, lobster, crab, and scallops does that mean I'm going to hate the vaccine too?

looks like banana man forgot his password

.2% of NJ is already dead you moran

ICUs around the country are completely full

Others have been recovered for 6 months and still can't walk up the stairs w/o taking a break

But yeah, why would you take a vaccine that's caused no serious problems in 10s of 1000s of trials?

Wait so we're not listening to CNN again? So confused.

But yeah your anecdote from one hospital in one part of the country trumps hospitals recruiting psychiatrists and pediatricians to work in the covid ward, converting wing after wing to ICU in hard hit places, and setting up temporary morgues in refrigerated trucks.

Perfect example of right-wing magical thinking. You don't have you believe anything you don't want to. Fake news.

Also just completely ignore that NJ's .2% dead immediately disproves your .02% lie by a factor of 10. And that's just an absolute floor. Obviously 100% of NJ hasn't caught covid. Pure bad faith as always with you guys. I assume you have some other fantasy to account for that if you even bother.

Also you must be VMF. Banana man never replies.

I don't seem to know your nurse gf. Did she, by some remote chance, go to a different school?

I know a cardiologist who works at a hospital outside the Phoenix area. The medical director there told him the ICU was at 140% capacity and he was receiving calls from around the nation that are wanting to transfer patients to him.

Wow, it was sure easy to convince you to move your decimal spot by one changing the impact by a factor of 10. It is almost like you knew you were arguing in bad faith.

99.8 is the floor you disingenuous troll. Not everyone in NJ has caught it. NJ has 410k known cases out of a population of 8.8M - for 4.6%. By contrast SD has 10% of it's population as known cases. So NJ has a long way to go. Which puts you into more like a .6% IFR. Gee why would anyone care about that?



Posted by a friend. This is why people should take the vaccine. These kids lost their mother and their father is fighting for his life.

I'm interested in this as well.

I heard one report that said if you have severe allergic reactions to food you should wait a while to see what's up.

Most of us are going to have to wait awhile anyways. Unless we are old, sick, work in healthcare, know the president, or are really rich, we likely won't get any until June.

USA#1 only locked up 100M doses (50M people) and turned down over the summer an option to purchase 200M more. So only 15% of the US will be vaccinated through March.

You do not understand the issue. Covid causes large numbers of people to become seriously ill, demanding high levels of medical attention, for a considerable time. The purpose of all anti-Covid measures, from lockdowns to vaccination programs, is to prevent the health services of the relevant country from being overwhelmed by Covid cases so that deaths from all causes, in the absence of normal healthcare provision, soar upward. That is the thing.

I read this over the weekend and assumed it was fake news. I can't fathom how dumb the person/s is that made that decision.

I don't think ForgotMyPW is remotely interested in actually understanding the issue. He just seeks out hour-long youtube videos that confirm what he already believes.

Correct. While 'differing opinions' are fine, I won't allow posters like PW to take over this thread and comment on every post. Please pick your spots and don't come off like a douche. Not easy, I know.

Slovenia jumped up to 2,100 deaths which makes it the 9th country to join the 0.1% club. Europe has lots of little countries.

USA vs. UK race to 0.1% might be a pretty good thing to bet on for those of you starved for action.

Truly stupid from the best dealmaker in the world, but tbf I am pretty sure that USA#9 also has 100M doses of Moderna's vaccine locked up that is likely to be FDA approved this week.
