    BC's provincial health office also announced that they will be treating the expected doses of Astra-Zeneca vaccine differently than the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Since the health care staff and nursing home residents have been vaccinated, BC's roll out is by age, starting with the 85+ individuals, then 80+, and so on down the line. However, we are expecting to start receiving Astra-Zeneca within a couple of weeks, and currently there is caution about giving this to the over-65 crowd, since there is insufficient data there. BC has decided instead to offer the A-Z vaccine to essential workers in the community who are younger than 65, though I haven't yet seen who is included in the "essential worker" category. Basically, younger people can elect to take the A-Z vaccine early, or wait until their age group is eligible for either Pfizer or Moderna. I'm curious as to how popular the A-Z vaccine will be, given the overall lower efficacy (though still good, particularly at protecting against hospitalizations and deaths).

    Congrats Americans on kicking ass with vaccine manufacturing! 300 Million vaccines by May. I'm jealous.

    The Dems caused the pandemic to get rid of Trump is the dumbest claim out of all of the dumb Trump suckers' dumb claims.

    What about the rest of the world, idiots?

    The whole world did this to get rid of one obese 🤡?

    Dude, who are you telling?!  It’s even dumber than only wearing one mask for the first 10 months of this thing before realizing two masks were better... Completely idiotic and not based in science at all.

    The efficacy is very good in all vaccines liscensed.  The rubbish over the over 65s is just not showing to be true with Scottish and English real time data.   Europe  dropped the ball and cost lives wasting the astrazenica doses. The aim is to stop hospitalisation and death and they all do that. Its time to use all available  and save our parents i say, then all of our age group .  This could be the most successful  thing the world has ever collaborated on. If people listen and do what science says.

    Your “real time data” is not yet peer reviewed. It may prove valid, or it might not. We can’t say “do what science says” while ignoring important principles of scientific research.

    Children dead of Flu



    “I think that that obliteration of the flu epidemic, which was seen globally, tells us that the way that influenza is transmitted from one person to another might really have been impacted by the use of masks, more than anything else,” said Flor Munoz, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ infectious-diseases committee.​
    ​
    ... ​
    ​
    Widespread mask-wearing may be particularly helpful because face coverings limit the spread of the droplets that carry influenza, Munoz said.​
    ​
    ...​
    ​
    Adults are also experiencing a dramatic drop in influenza deaths, with about 450 so far this season, compared with roughly 22,000 last year.​

    Great news. And I hope the masks carry on during winters.

    They really are the dumbest people around.

    "We are over wearing masks"
    "People need to get out"

    WTF does that have to do with keeping the number of people infected/hospitalized as low as possible until the vaccines are available to all?
    Especially now that we have a date for that, as provided yesterday?  If the vaccine will be made available to any adult in the US who wants it by the end of May...why not wait until the right number of days into June to allow for the vaccine to kick in to open the states back up?
    At that point, anti-vaxxers are on their own.  At least the hospitals will be ready to help them if they do get sick.

    The whole world conspired to get fatboy out of office by making the pandemic seem worse than it was.

    Can someone explain to me why the US would not be able to return back to normal before this time next year? If everyone is vaccinated by summer what is stopping them from opening back up? I get that the variants are in question as is the length of time the vaccine works but are we seriously going to have restrictions in place just in case of a variant or length of the vaccine is not what we think it is? We are doing this to limit the hospitalizations and deaths and help the hospitals not become full to the point the health system would collapse. 

    Lets say everyone is vaccinated by August. It should be earlier but lets use that month. How is the government going to justify restrictions for another 6 months if the vaccine does what we hope it does? I see this being a huge issue for the Dems regarding the 2022 elections. People for the most part have been great regarding the rules. That goodwill will be long gone I think if we are still a year away from normalcy.

    because 60% of republicans, which is about 30% of the population, have stated that they will not take any form of covid vaccine. this is only going to delay things opening back up.

    you can not reach the level of immunity needed to safely open up when only 65% of people will even be willing to take a vaccine.

    do not implicate all americans in the stupidity and ignorance of the minority.

    also. i do not know where you are located, but people here refuse to even mask up. around here fewer and fewer people are being good about following the rules.

    Right? I live in a blue state, and I see more mouths than masks when I step out.

    Also, you have states that have now fully opened as well, which, barring a travel ban on people entering your state from those states and vice versa, fucks the rest of nation.

    There is nothing united about us. We should dissolve into more of an EU structure and let the Covidiot states pull their Rednexits. If someone did a CBA, my guess is that it would be a net positive for the US.
