Old Man Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 The pandemic may have killed off a couple of flu strains Also, heard Dr. Fauci on NPR today talking about broad-spectrum flu immunizations under development, using nanoparticles with flu variant hemagglutinins attached to provoke an immune response. Ironically this was on the way back from getting the kids their second Pfizer shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 The Washington state agency charged with overseeing the legal recreational cannabis market will allow licensed retailers to give free marijuana to those who receive a coronavirus vaccine at in-store vaccination clinics. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/557239-washington-state-to-allow-free-pot-with-vaccines You know, I feel really stupid for getting vaccinated early rather than waiting and getting entered in million dollar lotteries, drawings for free groceries for a year, free beer, free pot, or whatever else I could have gotten if only I'd waited a few more weeks. I know I'm living in a dream world but I'd really like to see a giveaway to reward people who did the responsible thing and got vaccinated as soon a humanly possible (rather only rewarding those who are having to get bribed to do the right thing).

Tom Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Not quite the same thing, but the Ohio lottery is open to all vaccinated residents, not just those vaccinated since the lottery was announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 The point isn't to reward people who were smart and responsible enough to do the right thing. It's to try to incentivize the fools who are putting people at risk because they wouldn't do the right thing. It's not fair, but the alternative would be worse. But if it's any consolation, archer, your chance of winning any of that stuff would be negligible even if you were eligible. To believe otherwise would be foolish, but as I wrote, fools are the target audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Some of you might have noted that India reported an exceptionally high number of coronavirus deaths 2 days ago. I figured it was likely largely a revision/reclassification that accounted for the extra numbers. Finally checked; yep. We've questioned India's numbers for a long time. Then we had the indirect evidence based on excess deaths. Well this time, the Indian high court required one state to review death records. That state's death toll went from 5500 to 9500. Rather a strong piece of supporting evidence that yes, the counts have been seriously low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather a strong piece of supporting evidence that yes, the counts have been seriously low. If you'll remember an article I brought up last summer, Florida was counting COVID deaths of only those people who had a Florida residence (like driver's license, utility bills, etc.) rather than counting the people who died in Florida of COVID. That completely missed counting the homeless, illegal aliens, tourists, etc. The state argued that the dead should count toward the death totals in their own states or countries. But conveniently, it also had no mechanism for reporting those deaths to agencies in other states which might add them to those state's death tolls (reporting those deaths might have started an argument over which state's totals they should be counted under rather than allowing the deaths to be forgotten because it was politically convenient to understate the COVID problem).
