But, age and mortality regardless of COVID should be part of the calculus when you are talking about government actions that impact the livelihoods of the 350,000,000 million people in the U.S. that will continue living. It is not all or nothing. And at what point has the government's response been "all or nothing"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same resultant number of deaths. You can't hide from it and still even have a semi-function society. He posts a shocking amount of disinformation on this board.... missed his true calling in life as a Russian Bot. Perfect example of an emotion based rant vs fact based dialogue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be a Christian and support protecting the environment. You can be a Christian and support protecting those with pre-existing conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maji Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Humanity isn't helpless. Moderna designed their COVID-19 vaccine in two days. Two days. Maybe science isn't so bad Vaccines being available this early will save hundreds of thousands of lives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawlorfaithful Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/absolutely-remarkable-no-one-who-got-modernas-vaccine-trial-developed-severe-covid-19 Continuing the spate of stunning news about COVID-19 vaccines, the biotech company Moderna announced the final results of the 30,000-person efficacy trial for its candidate in a press release today: Only 11 people who received two doses of the vaccine developed COVID-19 symptoms after being infected with the pandemic coronavirus, versus 185 symptomatic cases in a placebo group. That is an efficacy of 94.1%, the company says, far above what many vaccine scientists were expecting just a few weeks ago. More impressive still, Moderna’s candidate had 100% efficacy against severe disease. There were zero such COVID-19 cases among those vaccinated, but 30 in the placebo group. The company today plans to file a request for emergency use authorization (EUA) for its vaccine with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is also seeking a similar green light from the European Medicines Agency. Incredible. 2 6 Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the GOP trots out someone who isn't batshit crazy they might have a shot at winning in 2022 if this nonsense keeps up. it'll +++++ up a lot more than just sports. Some here say that Kevin Faulkner, the Republican mayor of SD may run. 1 Quote Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay? Lat Thame Say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think, absent any scandals blowing up, he'd be a really good GOP candidate and someone who could actually win. One ill-advised high-rise purchase on his watch but nothing major. He got along with a City Council that was almost completely Dem during his whole tenure. Gets along with the LBGTQ community. Definitely not a Trumper. 2 Quote Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay?

He has to be to get elected here. He marches in the Pride parade. He would be like Schwarzenegger without the fame. Pete Wilson started as the SD mayor. Quote Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay?

ridgeview2 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Today was my first day of hybrid learning in the classroom and I'm exhausted. Hybrid learning is an entirely different beast from the standard distance learning we've been doing or the traditional face-to-face learning. Our classes are broken up into Cohorts A&B with each class consisting of 9-13 students per cohort. Periods 1-7 Cohort A meet in class with me Monday & Thursday with Periods 1-7 Cohort B meeting on Tuesday & Friday. On Wednesday, everyone is asynchronous learning from home so the school can be cleaned and fumigated. When the students arrive on campus we have to take their temps at the door before allowing them in the classroom and all of the seats are spread out. I have never done this amount of multitasking before in my life with trying to manage the students in the classroom along with checking the Zoom lobby and chat room with my other students online for every class. I have 160 students total with about 80 of them returning to the classroom, the rest are choosing to stay online. I have 6 special ed. students that push-in to one of my classes 4 days a week which complete negates the reason for cohorts in the first place. I'm glad that I get to see my students, but I'm frustrated and tired. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
