Goobish posted:So my girlfriend has been sick for days. A test she took last week popped negative. She went to get a rapid test today, and they told her she doesn't qualify for a rapid test because she's had symptoms for so long? What the heck? She can just go somewhere else tomorrow but is that really a thing? I'm in bumfuck Michigan where I had to describe to my boss what a test is and why it's useful. Months back the CDC changed the positive criteria make it so whatever needed to be detected to determine if you had covid had to be at higher levels. Since then the number of covid positives has gone down.

I've been at two restaurants since March of last year, both times we never even set foot in the building and were sitting outside upwind of the nearest table by like 20 feet

MadJackal posted:Also keep in mind some vaccine-neutral people before the pause were choosing J&J over Moderna and Pfizer because they didn’t want the “side effects” of the second shot. Now they’d rather just wait for everyone else to get a vaccine because “they’ve made it this long without getting sick.” Nope. Try again. shackleford posted:the truly hesitant have steadily declined since the pfizer results were announced in november

They separate the broth, meat, noddles, etc into separate containers and then I just reheat the broth and dump the ingredients in. It’s as good as indoor dining without the covid.

It's like watching Plague Inc late game play out in real life.

Kreeblah posted:Nope. Try again. I am flat out telling you that I've had to give up on trying to convince people to consider getting the J&J vaccine because of the concern about clots. It's radioactive to some people even after going over the 1 : 7.2 million fatality rate. I'm basically relegated to discussing J&J as leverage to get people to get either Pfizer or Moderna instead because those don't have the any bad association other than vague "side effects."

I went and ran at the local track since I was a week out from dose 2 of an mRNA vaccine. It was really nice. Can't wait to reserve a block at the apartment gym and do some deadlifts once I'm fully vaccinated. I may invite a fellow cave dweller over to play some super smash bros next week as well. It is nice to get back to normal.

A lot of outbreaks in the past year have been spread by students from all over the country deciding to come live in the city in spite of virtual classes being available. Not gonna feel safe until the university starts requiring vaxx for the students in the fall (there's talk that they will but who knows right now).

Yeah unironically I'll keep doing a lot of the cautious stuff wrt going to the store and poo poo but given that I know the other neurotic nerds in my social circle have been even crazier than I am when it comes to self-isolating I'm fine hanging out with them.

I propose that vaccine hesitancy is real but diminishing and if they wanted to make further inroads right now it would be by going after people who are fine getting vaccinated but either are lazy or have barriers to being able to make an appointment. Get out there and offer jabs at work and at home, promise to come back every day for multiple weeks to make sure people know it'll be just as easy to get the second jab.
