Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

This is a long read and I am not anywhere near knowledgeable enough to offer an opinion on it, but I found it to be an interesting story.

Covid, sorry. You think Iowa is sequencing lol

Haha of course not. That’s why I asked. :-D

I gotta assume Walz figures a lot of places are skirting the rules anyways and are willing to lose their business to do so what is the point. He can't really do anything anymore and too many people just dont care.

At this point I have no clue anymore. The amount of people willing to risk their lives to eat crappy food at mediocre restaurants for stupid prices just astounds me. The amount of business owners willing to risk their workers and their customers lives is even crazier. The priorities of America are so out of whack I dont think there is any way to solve it. Do the right thing and you are a tyrant, do the wrong thing and people die.

(I am not supporting or ripping Walz with this post...in all honesty I am glad I dont have his job)

This is irresponsible and dangerous nonsense.

The solution to a leaky dam isn’t to blow it up.

edit: and I don’t think you’re advocating that. That’s hovey’s job.

If Americans werent self centered, egotistical, greedy azzholes none of this would be necessary. I dont know about you but if I ever thought I might have spread the virus to someone and it caused them issues (or jesus killed them) the amount of guilt I would feel would be off the charts. I dont care if going to a restaurant will guarantee me a 4 way with any 3 women I choose (and my gf endorses it!) that isnt worth the risk to other people.

If it is just me fine, but if I get it my gf gets it and if she gets it her parents get it and her dad dies. (as would both of my parents if they got it) I am not risking that just so I can go have a drink at the bar or visit my buddy at his restaurant...not in the current climate of COVID.

Why not? Maine is.

(actually my company is doing covid sequence analysis for Maine and also samples taken by UConn health in CT)

we’ve been tracking variants and can tell you if the strain someone has variants that link it to Seattle, England, Italy, etc

That’s because some of the NE liberalism rubbed off on you. Iowa is in the middle of the Great Derp Sea

Just an iowa joke.

glad someone is- as has been pointed out here, the US is way behind on sequencing in general

alll we have to do is pay businesses not to open.

we can afford it

100%.

We can way more than afford it. Hell, we’ve done it to farmers to the tune of 40% of their income this year.

you’d have a better shot if she was one of the three that you choose ; )

Supposedly it could take 4-6 weeks to alter the vaccine to protect against the SA strain if it’s found that current vaccines aren’t going to be effective . mRNA basically plug and play

I’m going to unload some questions that have been rattling around in my head for a few weeks now. Not directed at you, just asking the universe.
4-6 weeks to create, how many weeks to ramp production?
What happens to the existing doses?
What happens to people who have already had their vaccine?
What about people who have one dose?
Can we double up to get the variants at the same time? Would it be a single “configuration” to get both or just go after the dominant strain? Or would you get a cocktail?

That isn't nearly as fun ;^)
