    Today NYS we had 20% of all US covid cases (about 6% of the population).

    The US is the worst in the world at covid and NY is the United States of the United States.

    Great job Empire State!

    AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine showed 79% efficacy against symptomatic disease and 100% efficacy against severe disease and hospitalization in a new, US-based clinical trial, the company said Monday

    That is great news with the efficacy against symptomatic disease getting a huge increase. The first trial that was in the 60's was done during close to the peak of a winter wave and obviously skewed the numbers unfavourable compared to the Pfizer and Moderna trials that were done when we were at very low numbers all around. 

    The volunteer firefighters at our work are getting the AstraZeneca and myself and the other MRT's are getting Pfizer this week. There was a huge uproar on us getting the better vaccine and them getting the one that causes blood clots and less efficacy against symptoms. Hopefully this new study will ease there minds even though all vaccines have had 100% efficacy against severe disease and hospitalizations and deaths which obviously always mattered most but gets ignored for some reason.

    I guess I've always just been as old as you are now.

    Love the music, which is why I first ventured out that way (so much bass!), but the overall scene was not for me. I've never been pretty. 

    Vice City is the greatest GTA game, though. That's indisputable.

    I did the Daytona Beach thing for spring break my freshman year of college. I am sure I was just as obnoxious as these kids are now. It was bike week when I was there. I remember riding on the back of motorcycles in my bikini. My current self would give my younger self a stern talking to. But that was my only Florida spring break. Senior spring break I went to New Orleans. That’s is a whole new level of spring breaking.

    I agree, although it may have been the last GTA game I played.

    Lol. Playing GTA when you can play a Nintendo produced game instead.

    So in New Brunswick they are waiting 16 weeks between shots. I did some research on this and am not impressed at all.

    Has to be. I really don't care about me having it spaced out and need to find out more from older friends and family but it looks like most have to wait that long as of right now. I think the larger provinces need to get the most doses even more than the fair amount would be per capita. It is obvious the larger municipalities are hit the worst and should the most attention. That said why am I getting vaccinated in a week just so I can wait for 16 weeks while someone older and more vulnerable could have a double dose in under a month instead. I get that there is some protection with the single dose but with a province like mine that have hospitals that barely ever see a covid patient why are we not just protecting the ones that need it most with both shots right now? Makes no sense to me especially with having one shot you can still easily get it and have symptoms.

    BC is also 16 weeks. We had a discussion about this in this thread when the decision was made a few weeks back. While it's outside of the manufacturer's guidelines it does have some support from available evidence. It gets first doses into many more people, which leads to an estimated 90% level of protection once you get beyond 2 weeks from the first dose. In fact, there is even some evidence that immunity will be greater with the delay in doses. 

    What information led you to be not impressed?

    Must of missed that discussion somehow or old age is kicking lol. I get it but its a huge risk imo. I need to do some research but the first couple of articles I read were not that promising.

    I would also say that it makes sense in a dense population that is overrun by the virus and they need some kind of protection with limited supplies of the vaccine to space it out to get some relief. Not for a province that is regarded as one of the best places to be in NA during this virus (largely based on small population). Protect all of the vulnerable with the recommended dose. 16 weeks spaced out imo will lead a lot more people to say fuck it i do not need the second dose in the summer when things are way more calmed down.
