Why do bankers need to be in the office when they’re perfectly capable of ruining peoples lives and the economy from the comfort of their homes

when they're at home there isn't anyone to say "yes sir" and "please sir" and "thank you sir"

a handful of maids doing it isn't enough, there needs to be at least a few dozen people doing it all day long, in public, and they need 2 see ur fancy suit and car and helicopter and yacht and be jealous of you and ur superior lifestyle and intellect

man that's another thing. no one knows about side effects outside of what they read about in Facebook. when I was telling my team that they all had an extra day of PTO added for vaccination, one person said, "wait, like I might need the day off after my second shot? it could be that bad??"

just a massive hole of knowledge waiting to be filled with fb bullshit

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.

Biden announced today they're going to push Walgreens and CVS to do 100% no appointment walk ins and also pour money into pop up and mobile clinics

just lol that it hasn't been that way for the last 3 months. gently caress them poors I guess

kind of hosed up that the immune system freaks out when it sees covid. has it tried therapy instead of cytokine storm?

I actually think that our level of vaccination combined with a large chunk of people still maintaining masking/distancing/staying mostly home is having a marked impact even with under half the population vaxxed and it would be incredibly stupid to assume that means that the decreases we are seeing would hold if we went full open biden at our current level of vaccination since all those activities decrease the R_0 considerably, which in turn reduces the level of vaccination you need to reach in order to get results.

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.

That never got conclusively proven, there was weird poo poo about pcr cycles changing in canada and elsewhere but everyone hid behind "follow manufacturer guidelines" and refused to confirm or deny anything

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."

it's pretty funny your response to a chart clearly noting that vaccine hesitancy was consistent before the J&J pause is to regale people with some idiotic anecdote as if that somehow trumps the fact there's a built in ceiling of our population that will never get a vaccine under their own volition

I wonder if I were in that situation if I'd just burn a sick day at the latest possible moment. They'd probably pull in an emergency sub or something, but it might give the kids at least some freedom in the morning to screw around watching Tiktok videos or something.

right. the amount of vaccine in the population you need to reduce community spread is based on contagiousness, but that number fluctuates on behavior too. At our current level of Applebees, we may in fact see reduced transmission at 50% with at least one shot. But as we Applebees harder there are more opportunities for infection, increasing the effective contagiousness and consequently requiring more vaccines to make an equivalent impact.

there's also the issue of homogeneous communities. if 50% of people are vaccinated, but the unvaccinated population has 99% of their contacts with other unvaccinated people, the virus is just going to rip through that population. that may seem exaggeration that an unvaccinated person would have so many of their contacts with other unvaccinated people when the entire population is at 50%, but i'm obviously talking about kids in schools

top reply on the news story about WA pausing phase changes to protect king county from reality:

dipshits on reddit have decided that the 2 week pause for king county is enough time for us to convince the rural regions of the state to get their vaccination rates up, as if vaccination rates in rural areas will reduce the king county case counts :psyduck: everyone is dumb, i can't wait for us to be sprung free from this communal mortal coil
