SchnorkIes posted:did you have side effects? it's a promising vaccine, I think zoetis has had success with the same synthetic protein approach in their veterinary vaccine Yeah, I felt tired after the first shot, and after the second shot, for ~2 days I felt like Fiz now feels: like I was simultaneously getting over a horrible cold *and* had just been tackled into the turf by prime-era Ray Lewis on my left hand side. My HRV dropped by 2/3rds for a solid week. So if that was the placebo I Would Like A Word With My Brain. I've been following the UK/SA results closely and overall am excited about it. I hope it is approved; even though it might not have much of a role in the US, I think it's one of the vaccines that is going to play a big role in vaccinating 1-2b of the global south, given its relative stability.

theres now been a full month of rising daily case counts in baltimore, based on the 7 day avg. march 1: baltimore city schools reopen for optional in person learning march 5: baltimore announces that strip clubs can reopen march 9: maryland governor announces statewide 100% capacity for restaurants, retail, fitness centers and religious establishments (local jursdictions can still have more restrictive rules) march 8: baltimore public libraries now open at 25% capacity march 12: baltimore announces support for in person fans at limited capacity stadium for MLB game on April 8th march 12: baltimore mayor posts a meme suggesting people be responsible for st patricks day march 17: baltimore indoor dining capacity will increase from 25% to 50%, outdoor from 50% to 75%, effective march 26 march 18: baltimore recreation centers allowed to reopen april 5 i'm not looking forward to the next month. my instinct is that reopenings will result in new levels of sustained contact in novel populations which is more likely to cause cases to explode. singular events like st patricks day won't help either, even with the tepid warnings from our mayor. around 11% of the city is fully vaccinated which is near the bottom of the state by county. i think we're tracking at like 0.1% or 0.2% of the population vaccinated each day? don't think that's gonna be enough to stave off a surge. https://twitter.com/LearyOnLaw/status/1369276450801676288?s=20 https://twitter.com/MayorBMScott/status/1367944244732821509?s=20 https://twitter.com/BaltimoreBrew/status/1369682747636256773?s=20 https://twitter.com/prattlibrary/status/1368940398899511300?s=20 https://twitter.com/HellgrenWJZ/status/1370457552253820933?s=20 https://twitter.com/MayorBMScott/status/1370554027226898435?s=20 https://twitter.com/KeithDFox45/status/1372274607709904896?s=20 https://twitter.com/TreWardWBAL/status/1372688332459798528?s=20

oh @fiz i meant to say one of the reasons you might be getting so wrecked by the first dose of moderna is because i think there was research that if you already had covid, the immuno response after your first shot of the mRNAs is functionally the same (and perhaps even better) than the second shot for most people

I can understand the complaint about tech workers who make enough where they are able to vault themselves into the capitalist class by becoming landlords or whatever but that's definitely not most tech workers, and in SV 300k/year is probably not even enough to buy a home (?)

A lot of fighting in this thread right now, so I think it is important to remember that we've all had it rough during the pandemic.

most people I know working in tech are chilling in the 10-15/hr region, but I also don't know many programmers. As a field it's very proletarianized, especially the customer facing positions, but it's most prominent members believe they are the upper crust and the culture will bend over backwards to maintain this delusion right up to the point where they can be replaced by a robot or made redundant by the REAL powerbrokersSchnorkIes posted:my old street of 100k houses got bought up in the 500s-800s about 50/50 by nice childless couples in their late 20s with cali plates and foreign speculators drat that's a big rear end street

Yes, but this is a local phenomenon in extremely desirable areas where salaries are very high. I live in one of the highest cost-of-living areas in the country and I know one tech worker who (probably) makes low six-figures. Most programming jobs around here are going to pay $70-80k/year which is loving great, but still not enough to create households that magically turn into landlords. I don't know anyone who wouldn't laugh at the idea that programmers are just falling into jobs with comparable pay to doctors.

It's not the norm at all, even though it's a career that pays exceptionally well. People who aren't working for a handful of companies or who don't move into management are going to top out well below that point.

If 2020 and COVID in particular demonstrated any lesson to the chud-whisperer school of disaffected libs..er..socialists (as of 2016) it’s that American “proletarians” can often be genuinely contemptible people and no clever analysis of social structure will negate their culpability or change how they act.

So I realized that if you're vaccinated, now is the best time to go out and do stuff in places that are still locked down From what I can tell via a quick Google search, restaurants are at 25% capacity right now in illinois. So if youre vaxxed up, you go out, you aren't crammed in with a million other people, no one seated on the same bench next to you pressed against your jacket you put down as a barrier. People aren't as loud since there's less noise to shout over If you wait til summer , restaurants will be at 100% capacity , everyone packed in, so not only 4x as many people breathing on you but they're yelling and shouting and spreading droplets further
