Jason Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 They just re-closed outdoor dining effective this past Wednesday at 10 PM. I think this is necessary but it's not going to stop people from congregating privately indoors, and the religious exemption is a big problem...I feel like for me the only real difference is that it's going to become routine again to have to wait on line to get into grocery stores (I've seen it intermittently still, but I'm not really sure what causes stores to do it, because it doesn't seem significantly different inside when they do and when they don't).

Fizzzzle Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 NYC is reopening schools on Dec. 7. Makes perfect sense. Can't gather in groups larger than 10 because coronavirus cases are as bad as they were in March, but let's go ahead and send thousands of kids back to school. It is just elementary schools for now, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yeah, it's a head scratcher. In Portland, restaurants, bars, gyms, etc are due to reopen on Thursday, even though hospitals are already basically stretched to their limit and basically every medical professional is like DON'T DO IT, WE WON'T KNOW HOW BAD THANKSGIVING WAS UNTIL AT LEAST A WEEK LATER We'll see, though. The restaurants and bars have pretty strict social distancing measures (Oregon's liquor control task force has been temporarily converted into a social distancing task force), and the evidence doesn't seem to indicate that restaurants are super spreaders. Unlike schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I now know too many people infected that I've lost count, because I guess folks just stopped caring in the ramp up to the holidays. That includes one friend currently on chemo and her 80-something year old mother. My wife and I are currently on lockdown. I don't have Facebook, but it sounds like we've had a ton of people celebrating Thanksgiving and even doing some Black Friday shopping. This is going to be a mess.

I know I should, like really should, but there's still this morbid curiosity like I said, and when it comes to conspiracy theories, I always have this belief that if I have the proper evidence and response, I can get through to them, and get them to change their wrongfully believed views. Hell not even just with conspiracy theories, but any clearly wrong view. If I just know the right words, I'll be able to convince them. I know won't though. People who believe in conspiracy theories are not rationally, logically thinking people. I can see why some people believe in them, and yeah at first glance some of the stuff you see whether it's about covid, vaccines, or 9/11, or whatever else, might look alarming and convincing, but deep down I know it's wrong, even if I don't always know the true answer, and then of course when the counter evidence is shown I can of course really see why it's all BS. Conspiracy theorists though don't accept when they're wrong though because even if you showed them irrefutable evidence that runs contrary to what they believe, they'll just claim it's all a cover up or something, whereas if you showed me irrefutable proof that 9/11 was an inside job, then holy shit I'd be shocked, and admit they were right all along. I'm an open minded person though, and the irony is that conspiracy theorists are close minded, yet are the ones screaming at people to open their minds, and "wake up".

Jason Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Gov. Newsom: Post-Thanksgiving Spike In 1-2 Weeks, SoCal ICUs Projected To Hit Capacity In Mid-December LAIST.COM Read highlights here or watch the full press conference. Quote VACCINE COMING TO CALIFORNIA IN MID-DECEMBER The state anticipates getting approximately 327,000 doses in mid-December from Pfizer, Newsom said. The second doses will likely follow within three weeks, and more vaccine is expected soon from Moderna, as well as other vaccines in late-stage trials to come. Recommendations are being made this week for the Phase 1a distribution plan, with that plan set to be released later this week, Newsom said. I saw in a separate article: Quote The 327,000 doses will go to health care workers, but the state’s vaccine committee is still determining which health care workers they will go to first, Newsom said. There are about 2.4 million health care workers in California, so the first round of vaccine distribution will not provide enough doses for all of them. Details about which health care workers will get priority for the first doses will be announced this week, he said. If the state hews closely to recommendations from the influential National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, it will be health care workers at hospitals, nursing homes and in home care, and first responders. The Pfizer vaccine is administered in two doses, given 21 days apart. It’s unclear if the first 327,000 doses would go to 327,000 people for the first round of injections, or if they would go to 163,500 people for both rounds of injections. So if they're going to talk about a "dose" as one shot then you need to divide any number you see by 2, since AFAIK they all require two doses. But hopefully this can ramp up quickly. Even if they can't get it to everyone quickly it should hopefully still help get a lid on things once they can get it to high-impact people like grocery store cashiers.
