D&D and the rising pandemic

And from what I understand, its not even entirely clear that the vaccines are producing immunity per se; its clear they've had very good results at completely suppressing symptoms, but its not equally clear whether the beneficiaries can't still be shedding virii.

I'd also be shocked whether most of the U.S. population (not counting those who resist) will be getting innoculated before--May? Possibly even a little later.

From March iirc. First vaccines this month there will only be a few million though.

Which is why I said "most".

Here in the US, they are talking about rolling out to health care and elderly first, expanding to less at-risk populations as time goes on. The population at large may be getting protected in mid to late spring?

That's what they're aiming for here too, but the only vaccine approved so far in the UK is the Pfizer one, and the need for extreme refrigeration is imposing some logistical problems when it comes to distribution. We'll have to see how fast it can be rolled out.

Gosh, America is so screwed. I wish we would just social distance. I have. I feel like I'm back in school doing a team project, but I'm the only kid in the team project doing any work. Except, this is a life-death situation, which makes it even more depressing and infuriating.

(I know other people are doing the same things I am, but not nearly enough people who are doing what they should be.)

The non-pfizer ones are so far not quite reporting the effectiveness of the pfizer one.

Moderna, you mean?

Great analogy

No I think Moderna is similar tech as Pfizer with a similar limit...

There's a UK one as well. And Sputnik of course.
