The last time we went to a Padres game we parked in Old Town and took the trolley to the stadium. It worked out pretty well. Maybe people can take the trolley to the new vaccination site?

Americans aren't gonna do it. I was 100% on team lets all lock down and be smart for this entire year... but if vaccines are available to anyone who wants one, and hospitalizations and deaths are down to the point where it's almost statistically irrelevant, I'm done...

I mean, they aren't being extremely cautious, they are giving the proper advice that everyone should follow to eliminate this virus. It's true that Americans (and other people) aren't willing to actually put in the effort, but the advice itself is sound, and not overly cautious.

Spork3245 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Yea, maybe European countries aren’t completely wrong for holding back further use of the Astra Zeneca vaccine: I mean, the thrombosis reasoning is potentially overblown, but it seems like Novavax, Moderna, and Pfizer are all better candidates with the SA variant (and, potentially, future variants) in mind. Covaxin studies should be out next week as well, along with data on its efficacy for variants.

Vaccine Shortages Snowball Into a Crisis - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM As the U.S.’s new virus team holds its first briefing, Biden advisers urge passage of a relief bill. New York City restaurants may reopen for limited indoor dining. Seems like one of the big issues has been that AZ has not been able to keep up with their orders as well as the EU approving the Pfizer vaccine later than the UK and the US. Also this: Quote Some critics have blamed the European Commission for the mess. The commission struck deals on behalf of the member states to secure a total of 2.3 billion vaccine doses from several companies. But some of its agreements lagged behind those struck by the United States and Britain by weeks. AstraZeneca and some European opposition politicians say the delay put the bloc at the back of the line for deliveries. The commission disagrees.
