D&D and the rising pandemic

Eh, the fact that Pfizer is second best doesn't mean it isn't perfectly functional.

Availability is often one of the best attributes a thing can have.

Modera > Pfizer >> no vaccine at all > horse medicine

I got J&J. I don't regret getting the first vaccine that was available for me to take, but I do wish that I'd gotten Pfizer or Moderna.

 

[Thomas Shey]

Yeah, honestly the step between "not vaccinated" and almost any of the big name vaccines (even some of the lesser ones) is big enough it worth doing.

You might be better off in the long run: Pfizer and Moderna degrade over time - hence the need for booster shots. But I haven't yet heard anything about J&J also needing boosters.

Unvaccinated 10 times more likely to require hospitalization and 11 times more likely to die.

That seems to vary. Here in Los Angeles the unvaccinated outnumber the vaccinated in the hospitals 25 or 29 to 1.

Yeah, around here, they'd use that rear entrance.

I expect we have greater distrust of random adults interacting with unsupervised kids.

Well these are catholic schools in Canada. Random adults interacting with unsupervised kids is pretty standard apparently.

Even so, automation probably more a question of “when”, not “if” for an increasing number of jobs.

And, let’s not forget just how much labour has been automated in the last forty years.

We’ve replaced a Lot of workers already.

 

[Hussar]

Yes, well, note that the entirety of Canada has the population of... California. About 11% of the US population.

It is not clear that such speed is possible or desirable when you scale the population up that much.

Japan does it in about a month.
