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

[RaceBoarder]

I don't like my job... But the money that it offers is able to offset the crap I have to put up with. That money was NOT there before the pandemic and I was looking elsewhere.

The main reason I'm content currently is that I've gotten a 50% raise between now and what I was making in Fall 2019. The cash simply buys out the "trouble" my job causes (odd schedule, working in 39*F, 34*F, or -5*F for 10-12 hours/day, regular racism/bigotry among staff are some of the more egregious things). And things are still looking like they will keep trending favorably for me, so I'm just gonna hold the course.

But yea, the actual job I have to do sucks. There is no way to describe it other than that.

"But they don't work!" has always been nonsense.

That it great news.

Headshot.

Exactly. It's a trade. I have valued my misery at roughly my current salary. WHich is generally true for everyone currently employed. There's probably a law named after some old white guy that says this.

Yeah it is. There was some worry they'd only have the almost presumed brilliant protection against death and hospitalization. But even a 50% reduction in getting sick at all? That's way beyond what I was expecting.

My only question, what does 52% mean in relation to time? 52% within 3 months? A year? Forever (lol)? I'm assuming something relatively short like 2-3 months. Which is still huge!

Edit: lol, my fault. It was literally the next section:

How long protection lasts


For people who are wondering whether the protection from the bivalent booster they got in September has worn off by now, itâ??s too early to know how waning would work with these new two-strain shots, Link-Gelles said.

So far, there's little evidence of waning effectiveness two to three months after people got their shots.

It's too early, I think, to know how waning will happen with the bivalent vaccine. We know from the older vaccines that we do see protection decrease over time, especially against symptomatic infection. Just like with overall protection, what we've seen in the past is, your protection lasts longer for more severe illness,� Link-Gelles said.

Researchers donâ??t have data past three months, she said, but based on experience, she would expect protection against severe disease and death to be higher and last longer than these results against infections.

â??We will continue to monitor it over time in the coming months,â? she said.

The study authors said that these are just estimates of how well the vaccines are protecting people against an infection that brings on symptoms like cough or fever. They are probably working even better against more severe outcomes like hospitalization and death.

I was curious about that. I got the booster in September and was wondering if/when I might need another one. I have my annual physical next week and was going to ask my PCP.

It appears to be going to a once a year system. At least that is what I have been told. So, you can get your Flu/Covid booster at the same time every year. If there is a nasty variant that they want boosters for they will probably communicate that and then you might need an extra one if it's mid year cycle.

I thought annual too but if I'm reading those numbers right it should be semiannual. Unless we're saying get covered for the winter 10-3 and you should be fine for the summer 4-9.

As for sucking off of the work of others... you just described capital gains.

Or whatever it is that Hovey does.

HOnestly, what I care about is staying out of the hospital and above ground. If annual is what prevents that, great. Probably kills off more antivaxxers that way. Long game, kep. long game.

He should be kicked out of med school, even if it is Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.

[Swansong]

So, the right is just going with the "if we say something often enough, it will become true" method?
