    Opened up my blinds this morning to another ambulance on my block. This time I saw an elderly woman go out on a stretcher with an oxygen mask on, from the building across the street. So terribly sad. I hope she makes it.

    I immediately loaded up my diffuser with tea tree oil and put the dang thing right next to my apartment's intake vent. Smells like turpentine in here, but it's better than death. 

    I'm really not liking the uptick in ambulances.

    So, they're offering a compensation program for anyone who has a negative side effect from the vaccine? 

    Like with Trudeau acquiring too many vaccines, I fail to see the problem here. I wish the US government was being this pro active.

    Rich nations, like Canada, have bought too many coronavirus vaccines: Amnesty International - National | Globalnews.ca

    Math is not the Prime Minister's strength.  Corruption is more of his strength....
    Another vaccine candidate drops out of contention today. GSK-Sanofi announced that the results from their vaccine showed “insufficient immune response” and thus it will be delayed at least a year or may be dropped altogether. 

    This is why countries pre-ordered multiple vaccines.

    Big news for New Zealand as we're opening up a travel bubble with the Cook Islands shortly. Hoping to get over to Aitutaki as soon as cyclone season ends. Meanwhile in Wellington...test cricket is alive and well with no community cases in the country.

    FDA NEWS RELEASE

    FDA Takes Key Action in Fight Against COVID-19 By Issuing Emergency Use Authorization for First COVID-19 Vaccine


    Action Follows Thorough Evaluation of Available Safety, Effectiveness, and Manufacturing Quality Information by FDA Career Scientists, Input from Independent Experts

    For Immediate Release:
    December 11, 2020

    Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the first emergency use authorization (EUA) for a vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. The emergency use authorization allows the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to be distributed in the U.S.

    “The FDA’s authorization for emergency use of the first COVID-19 vaccine is a significant milestone in battling this devastating pandemic that has affected so many families in the United States and around the world,” said FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, M.D. “Today’s action follows an open and transparent review process that included input from independent scientific and public health experts and a thorough evaluation by the agency’s career scientists to ensure this vaccine met FDA’s rigorous, scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization. The tireless work to develop a new vaccine to prevent this novel, serious, and life-threatening disease in an expedited timeframe after its emergence is a true testament to scientific innovation and public-private collaboration worldwide.”

  • More sickening than above? Covid is now being “marketed” as a profit center. And as  an “excuse,” to deny the horrific and carry on.

    Please don’t deny you were warned or knew better.

  • They  say 14 days is very good. But  you have to use public transport  to get there so i dont know if that breaks the quarantine i guess. You  can do your best and be very aware .  I guess

    Shop now, its the best you can do. Most show symptoms around day 5. 🇺🇸 was lowering that number to 10.

    My advice? Stay home.

    But even better advice would be to ignore what random strangers advise you over the internet and consult your local health authorities and local guidelines.

    I'm just surprised he doesn't know. He's been planning this trip to see his mom for a while. I like that SC cares enough to quarantine first.

    I know the train ride will break quarantine. That is one risk I will take. Or if I can get my brother to come pick me up.

    But I have my covid-19 certified mask, I will travel mid-day and not on a weekend when there are the least amount of passengers. Etc.

    Sounds like a pretty big risk. Ah well, your choice, huh. Maybe “real” quarantine upon return? Or not.
