D&D and the rising pandemic

Been expecting this since sturgess so maybe Covid doesn't spread as fast as I thought.

Sturgiss sent large numbers of people after they gathered in small spaces and breathed each others spital sans masks all around the country when they went home so the locations of their outbreaks were national even more than local.

Anyone who understands anything about the logistics of vaccine distribution knew that no matter how fast they got a functional one in, it was going to be kind of a nightmare. The Pfizer one just complicates this because of the refrigeration issues, but just the ampule issue was going to complicate it.

This is why I've been telling people who aren't high risk to expect it not to even be an option for them until at least the middle of next year.

I think your guess on timing is about right but I think another recently announced one (I have had my eye on the Moderna too) based on the same technology purports to require less extreme refrigeration

True but most came from a handful of states.

Le suck.

Not 100% sure but a big difference with USA is fear and anxiety.

Due to social media and US pop culture dominance spreads around the world.

Could be wrong but that's my theory.

My great uncle died today of Covid-19. I had never met him, and know next to nothing about him, but it's still too close for comfort.

Yeah. But it doesn't help the glassware problem.

Sorry for your loss, I lost my 99 year old uncle (mine I knew but wasn't close to) recently to COVID too

The culture seems the most infectious thing we have other than covid. In a culture where having healthcare is unguaranteed, and more people per capita are incarcerated than anywhere in the world and a major political party actually said their opposition will "kill god". Yeh there is fear in this here pond it is actively exploited too.

It's a recurring theme I've noticed in American expat videos.

Not the only ones I've noticed it elsewhere. Hard to describe it's like an edge or something.
