Viruses / Vaccines 2
Comments

Teachers in BC are now required to report their vaccination status. We had left it up to the districts to decide whether or not mandatory vaccinations for teachers would be put in place. I imagine this was because we place high value on having kids attend school and we don't want them closed because teachers won't get vaccinated.
I haven't quite understood how disclosing status will help suppress spread. Unless we provide more layers of protections like vaccination mandates if we find these numbers are low?Post edited by Spunkie onI was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef

TBH I've pretty much stopped listening because it's different from one day to the next. I get that things change as more is learned, but at this point it's getting beyond ridiculous.brianlux said:The most logical solution to the mask issue is to pay more attention to what scientists and medical experts say, less attention to what politicians say, and almost no attention to what people on Facebook say.1998-06-30 Mpls | 2006-07-06 Las Vegas

This is one of the best analogies I have seen regarding masks. Makes perfect sense, unless you're someone with an agenda or just plain ignorant.static111 said:
This is a false statement. Cloth masks work when worn properly, but aren't as effective as N95...We've known this since the beginning.

US faces wave of omicron deaths in coming weeks, models say By CARLA K. JOHNSON Today The fast-moving omicron variant may cause less severe disease on average, but COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. are climbing and modelers forecast 50,000 to 300,000 more Americans could die by the time the wave subsides in mid-March. The seven-day rolling average for daily new COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. has been trending upward since mid-November, reaching nearly 1,700 on Jan. 17 — still below the peak of 3,300 in January 2021. COVID-19 deaths among nursing home residents started rising slightly two weeks ago, although still at a rate 10 times less than last year before most residents were vaccinated. Despite signs omicron causes milder disease on average, the unprecedented level of infection spreading through the country, with cases still soaring in many states, means many vulnerable people will become severely sick. If the higher end of projections comes to pass, that would push total U.S. deaths from COVID-19 over 1 million by early spring. “A lot of people are still going to die because of how transmissible omicron has been,” said University of South Florida epidemiologist Jason Salemi. “It unfortunately is going to get worse before it gets better.”continues..._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

They eased us into it, in a similar way that Ed might let you get to know him as a person before revealing a superstar identity.The issue is with what was actually said. Trying to bury this by saying it was done to ensure front line workers had access still doesn't change the contradiction of his statement. Either his 50+ prior years in the field taught him nothing about the effectiveness of masks or he knowingly spewed an outright lie on national tv. Both scenarios are a bad look for the chief medical advisor and undoubtedly affected his perceived credibility, along with creating distrust from the outset.“There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”~Anthony Fauci0 -
yes, but that's the point he's making. that they should have said that instead of saying "masks don't work" or "masks aren't necessary at this time" when they clearly were.The Juggler said:

I'm predicting that we hit 1,000,000 by the end of May/beginning of June. How many of these 150,000 will be unvaccinated? I'm guessing 90-95%.
