Coronavirus outbreak

1,325 deaths the latest daily figure for the UK.

We win. Over 4100. GD Trump. This didn’t have to be so frelled up.

I’d say fire them all but unfortunately we can’t afford fewer healthcare workers right now.

But when the time is right, purge them.

Coronavirus: Kingston prepares to receive out-of-region COVID-19 patients

Live in this city, and so far, we only have 50 cases. Been a little less stressed lately, but if the city has no choice but to treat those with COVID outside the region, my anxiety will go through the roof. God, I have to stop being so selfish.

While I wouldn’t go so far as to endorse Ayn Rand’s “The Virtue of Selfishness”, I do think selfishness is a little overhated.

democrats are so beyond effing stupid many times. WTF is this. Dems need to get on board with as many of the Policies and plans Biden can push forward. To have dems objecting after winning senate and executive is just so remarkably dumb. I’m not saying don’t object to anything but there is a limited timeframe in which to carry out these policies before they get potentially blocked if the republicans get back control in a few years

I'm not going to worry about these until all the facts come out, but there have bee a couple of deaths after people being given the vaccine.
I am NOT saying the deaths are vaccine related nor am I trying to stir a panic, but it is somewhat newsworthy.
Apologies if it has already been discussed.

It will not stop me from having the Covid-a9 vaccine once my turn comes around...

Edit:
Apparently no link found in Swiss mans case

Well that’s a relief.

I will not be surprised of long term as of yet unknown effects of some of the vaccines primarily because we haven’t had the time yet to see them manifest or not. mRNA vaccines are totally new technology being brought to market so quickly. That certainly carries some risk but it will be worth it. That said i will happily take the risk to take them if it means helping putting an end to this pandemic or at least controlling it so it becomes a much smaller problem

I am really interested to see how the J and J vaccine pans out - single shot and based on more traditional methods - if that works well then that could be a serious weapon against this virus that could be scaled up for the general public. It will be much easier vaccine schedule and rollout to plan and execute

I'm still hoping for superpowers. 2020 was a crappy year, 2021 owes us.

My grandfather is supposed to get either the Pfizer vaccine or Moderna next week. Also sounds like my family doctor will be vaccinating patients, so my mom and I will be getting the shots.

Well, my dad was able to get his first dose of vaccine end of last week (due to his job as non-hospital medical worker), my sister (school teacher) says her school district will start providing signups for district employees this morning for slots to get the first dose of vaccine over the next several weeks here.

On the other side of things, my grandma's neighbor tested positive for COVID, so since we can't be sure that my grandma (92 years old) didn't have contact with her within the past several days/week (she insists she didn't, but at the same time, grandma's memory has been failing her so we can't necessarily trust what she 'remembers' - this is part of the reason we're trying to get some remodeling done so she can move in with us), she's going in today to be tested. Fingers crossed that she comes back negative
