D&D and the rising pandemic

Not sure if you mean "I would have taken Moderna before J&J" or if you mean "I would rather go unvaccinated than take J&J".

If the first, fair enough.

Here in California it's not a matter of, "I would rather go unvaccinated than take J&J." It's, "I would rather get Moderna or Pfizer than J&J and if one place had J&J, I would just make an appointment somewhere else and get one of the others."

You get a choice?

Last I heard I think we have vaccinated 3%. That was around a week ago.

Not that we really need it ASAP other nations should take priority eg India.

We have many places offering vaccine shots. So yeah, we can call around and get the one we want pretty easily.

Na it's not that Pfizer one is 95% AZis what 70%? Crossing the road is more dangerous than Covid here.

Well, assuming that more virus isn't carried into the country when things open up more in the future. Right now, India is passing the virus back and forth like crazy, due to the lack of vaccine and densely packed cities. We're going to have plenty of variants around. Fingers crossed the current vaccines slow the new variants down. The good news is that developing updated vaccines will be far easier than it was in the past.

The city that I live in has something like a 46% South Asian population and the Federal Government wasn't doing a lot to curtail international flights. This likely plays a role in why we were something like 3x the Provincial average positivity rate, last week. Hopefully things will start to normalize a bit.

Some of the things that have been making the news show that the rules have been pretty meaningless. I can recall reading that an American CEO made something like three flights, back and forth to Canada, during lockdown when only essential travel was supposed to be permitted by air. Clearly, having money makes someone "essential."

The US now indeed has an abundance of vaccine options making up for previous issues I suppose.

Unfortunately we have an abundance of people with no interest in those options too... :-/

Yeah they closed the border to India full stop.

Half of the qurantine cases were from India.
