Hey, guys, really really off-topic, but extremely unnerving info just developed in the Ukraine crisis. USSTRATCOM sent out this Tweet about an hour ago:

Ive been living in a hotel for the past week in Fort Smith in close proximity to the main hospital. We have a relative that was removed from incubation yesterday morning. She is terminal and expected to succumb to respiratory failure in the next hours or days. Palliative care right now. We are all taking shifts with her due to COVID protocols. The hospital is very strict about numbers of people, etc.

Those of us that haven't been vaccinated were offered vaccines (all 3 took their first shot).

Re: Sars Cov 2 … the grinder continues to eat away at resources and humanity.
So rural counties have hit vaccine limits. But a quick review... this actually pretty decent because....

Total population

Almost 1/3 of the population are children under 18

Over 1/3 of the population are “fully vaccinated”

And I honestly wouldn’t be surprised that the remaining 1/3 fell into the adverse reaction crowd. And while doctors and PSA’s are pushing for it.... no. Not happening.

Considering that 50% of most sampled populations are a thrombosis risk (even if superficial).... Iowa’s vaccinated numbers are extremely high.

43 Iowa counties decline weekly COVID-19 vaccine allocation

There are 99 counties.

Less than 50%

Low turnout at clinics is leaving health departments with hundreds of vials of unused doses.

While they can just store them for later use, they're deciding to accept fewer doses and let more vaccines go to larger communities that need them most.

Cognitive. Dissonance. The farmer asked for prayers. The writer put wishes.

And it’s just the beginning. The slow boil is really confusing everyone.

'We can't control the weather': Apple farmers fear cold temperatures will devastate crop

Farmer Steve Brahms said if temperatures reach 28 degrees, they'll lose 10% of their crop. If it hits 25 degrees, they'll lose 90%.


Less than 50%

Don't know if you read my horrible time with the J&J a month or so ago. I have an update to that: Since then, they were talking about the blot clot thing, and I have to board an aircraft next month and got paranoid. So, I called my doc and got some blood work done. Turns out my platelets are fine, but my Vit D totally TANKED over Winter!!! I get really bad bone pain etc when that happens. When I got my shot, my numbers must have been right on the edge as I had TERRIBLE bone pain throughout my entire skeleton.

Mind you I take supplements daily as this has been an issue loooooooong before covid. So, I am going to chalk up the really bad, painful reaction I had to my vitamins being screwed up. I would advise anyone getting vaccinated to get your blood levels checked first, and maybe supplement before getting your shot.

TB!!! look!!

Thanks for proving my point.

For instance, one study of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine—the distribution of which U.S. officials have temporarily paused—found it was 85% effective at preventing severe Covid-19 from the B.1.351 variant, which was first discovered in South Africa. Similarly, a small study of Pfizer/BioNTech's vaccine found it was up to 100% effective at preventing even mild cases from the B.1.351 variant.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78221722

I see you conveniently stopped reading: "However, Abdool Karim expressed more concern about the efficacy of AstraZeneca's vaccine, which has not been authorized in the United States, against certain variants. One very small study suggested that that vaccine was almost entirely ineffective at preventing mild cases of Covid-19 against B.1.351, and a separate experiment found that it takes 86 times as many antibodies from the AstraZeneca vaccine to neutralize B.1.351 as it does to neutralize the original strain of the virus.
 Quoting: Lago


Bro, do you even read? The old people got it in that care home and had ZERO deaths. Derp!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78221722


Getting zero deaths in one case study is a excellent result but it's far from a victory. The degree of uncertainty we are still dealing with is to be expected given the clusterf*ck of a response we have had in general, but the main questions of importance now defy simple anecdotal statistics:

A) Does the immunity hold? For how long? Does it stop spread?
B) Is the level of immunity consistent or are there those more susceptible whom's protection is dependent on sufficient isolation from the primary pathogen.
C) Are we likely to see further mutations that might overcome the positive effects of the vaccine's.

A and B will require more time and a larger population observation. Anecdotal evidence is totally irrelevant and might make moving towards what some like call "Normal" living challenging. If we suddenly extend contacts between different groups this might cause surprises but considering Florida I think we'll be fine.

C is the bigger worry. If we look at trends currently places with pervasive vaccine programs are trending down, but the virus is still around and given current trends in Brazil and India new strains will continue to develop. If we allow those to transfer we create the possibility of introducing a new resistant mutation.

The best strategy has and still is aiming for 0 cases and trying to sustain that. Had we been diligent and focused on that task we would have been done ~June 2020, ~April 2020 if China had been more transparent and we could all agree a new more deadly cold virus would be a bad thing to have in the wild.
