No question!
But it’s also good to get a reality check to know that- if nothing else changes- we won’t be getting C19 vaccines or therapies as easily as an annual flu shot or chemotherapy.

Some of the problems presented are definitely nontrivial. The therapy they discussed looks good, but it’s limited as to who can take it, and as an IV administered chemical, will require a big investment in physical plant and personnel to administer to statistically significant numbers of patients.Honestly, those kinds of problems don’t worry me terribly, because STEMies are fiendishly clever when you give them a definitive problem to solve.doesn’t matter if it takes a few billion dollars and a truckload of volunteers to do it in the most convoluted fashion possible the first time around, they’ll get it done when the time comes.
The hardest part will honestly come from fighting mistrust and misinformation. 1.2 million people dead, and you still have (at best) misinformed and (at worst) outright trolls out there still talking about “Shamdemics” and posting stock photos of babies as “children lost to vaccines”; as if they are the cognoscenti instead of the idiots riding bicycles on tightropes that they are.
Sorry, I just got off of a YouTube video talking about this stuff and it’s made me REALLY testy.

Used to work in uni of Auckland exams, not the first time we've had crack like this spouted by students. Last one joked about a bomb threat but was more easily found out. Think his older sister was not amused by being worn by the armed offenders squad in the early hours.

From the 1pm briefing, the staff member apparently told their manager and the manager said come in anyway. At least I get to sleep in tomorrow.

I don't think they'll lock down unless they find a heap of new cases.

Maybe not, overnight testing shows it might be linked to a known cluster. Guess I'll find out today what's happening.

Well it's seriously looking like my Region is going to be going back into lockdown again, soon. People just can't seem to follow basic direction and Diwali is on Saturday (my city is roughly 45% South Asian and Diwali is huge), so another spike is expected. Fun.
