My Dad (age 79) just got called by the VA and scheduled to get the jab - woo hoo. He said it's the first time his veteran status has ever helped him in anything that he can recall. Although he does use the VA medical system for certain things, so that's probably not 100% true.

Found out this morning that 1B is being implemented in Missouri and we may be getting the vaccine here at work sooner than later. (food production plant).
Not confirmed but it appears due to low participation rates among 1A (50% or less), mainly healthcare workers and first responders, they are getting to 1B sooner than expected. |

Peer Reviewed Study Shows COVID Lockdowns Have No Benefits Compared to Voluntary Measures
Stanford researchers found “no clear, significant beneficial effect of [more restrictive measures] on case growth in any country.” A new peer reviewed study by Stanford researchers has found that mandatory lockdowns do not provide more benefits to stopping the spread of COVID-19 than voluntary measures such as social distancing. The study compared countries that had imposed mandatory lockdowns, such as England, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the U.S., to those that had relied on the public to follow voluntary measures, such as Sweden and South Korea. The researchers subtracted “the sum of non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) effects and epidemic dynamics in countries that did not enact more restrictive non-pharmaceutical interventions (mrNPIs) from the sum of NPI effects and epidemic dynamics in countries that did.” After analyzing the data, the researchers found “no clear, significant beneficial effect of [more restrictive measures] on case growth in any country.” The authors added that they “do not question the role of all public health interventions,” but insisted that stay at home orders and business closures had no additional impacting on lowering the spread of the virus. The study adds to the weight of evidence that clearly indicates lockdowns are totally pointless and only create further misery and death. According to Professor Philip Thomas of Bristol University, the UK lockdown will end up costing 500,000 lives due to the health impact of the economic recession it will cause. Untold numbers of people will also die from having their urgent treatments delayed as well as avoiding hospitals. According to research published by Imperial College London and Johns Hopkins University, around 1.4 million people globally will also die from untreated TB infections. Last September, Germany’s Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development, Gerd Muller, warned that lockdown measures throughout the globe will end up killing more people than the coronavirus itself. https://summit.news/2021/01/15/peer-...tary-measures/ |

And that's not to even question the validity of the study, but FFS, just let it stand on its own merit instead of launching into a soapbox rant about lockdown butthurt. It goes from something I might think more than 2 seconds about to picturing this guy announcing this with a megaphone on a street corner. /soapbox rant |

I've been thinking about vaccine impact, and I'm guessing it'll be an S-shaped curve. The first 10 percent of vaccines won't have much impact (but still a little) because the virus will still have a lot of pathways to spread. Then we'll start hitting a point relatively quickly where suddenly the infection rates start plummeting as the virus unsuccessfully bounces off of more and more people, limiting its pathways. Then as the vaccination rates get high (80+) the impact will get small again as connections between non-vaxxed people let it survive. Of course it won't go to zero until pretty much everyone is vaxxed up.
We would still be in the top part of the curve now, improving but not yet significant.

And the record number of hospitalizations and deaths would just disappear, eh?
You're a joke.

Do you think there’s any danger of not having enough for everyone to get the second shot?
