RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS

The dropping cases is very good news; it means people have been careful about reducing their exposure risk.

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS

If one counts the estimated 11.2M fully vaccinated people, then the percentage of the population with immunity increases to 38%.
Why ignore the less than fully vaccinated. Pfizer is claiming +90% effectivity after only one dose. Biden is claiming he his giving 1.7M does each day and there is a 21 day waiting period between the first and second shot. Doing the math, 21 days times 1.7M is another 36M less than fully vaccinated people with + 90% protection. That's another 10% on top of the 38% you claimed. Pretty close to 50% in my book. Then you add in the grossly under counted cases due to them testing for antibodies and ignoring T cells. It is easily 50%. Its very good news for all of us. I got my second shot last week. I'm glad I did and would do it again, but the risk is dropping rapidly anyway.

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS

How about getting numbers from a more reliable source than Fox?
Such as John Hopkins?
If you had bothered to click on the second link I posted and take a look at the first chart showing the sharp 70% decrease in cases (250k/day down to 72k/day), you would have noticed the data are not Fox data, they are from John Hopkins......as you requested. :)
https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/united-states?country=~USA
Its very good news......be happy. :)

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS

Your data is almost two months old. The 70% drop in cases is only explained by the +10% who have received the vaccine plus the folks who have had the virus.

RE: It’s been a good run

If you change from 12v to 6v batteries, do you have to change the converter?

RE: Roadside Breakdown

Marcus Lemonis: If you’re OK with what Trump said, don’t shop at my business
He later recanted his comment but he still said it.
Thanks for the link. I guess I missed all of that. Two things I know about Trump: (1) He ain't a politician and he tends to be lose with his words which leaves them open to be spun in the worst way by his enemies. (2) He ain't got a racist bone in his body.

I quit Good Sam and switched to AAA after Marcus told those of us who supported our president not to shop at camping world.
I missed that. Thanks for posting. Do you have a link to where he said it? Probably want to update your signature.

RE: 2019–20 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS

Just how effective?
I've read that one dose gives about 50% protection after 14 days....
Which ain't that great. After the second injection, it's about 95%. We get second shot 21 days from today.

A jeep riding buddy of mine died from covid last night. He was under 60, non-smoker and in pretty good shape. Real shame; he was a very nice person.

All is well. Must be a skinny needle because I never felt it. No reaction. Get the booster in 21 days. Pfizer. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

RE: TR: Utah, parks, friends and a few weeks with my wife

Great trip. You mentioned the crowds at Zion. We were there in October two years ago. It was so crowded that we never found a single place to park. It was bad.

RE: TCs and Covid Vaccinations

No way to know where this goes, but I'm sure there will be certain activities that will require you to show proof of being vaccinated, airlines and cruise ships for example.....concerts and sporting events......but that's ok because there will still plenty of other things to do which won't require a vaccine, like rioting, looting and city burning...

RE: TCs and Covid Vaccinations

If people feel that will benefit from it then by all means go for it.
Ditto. If you want it, get it and if you don't want it, then don't. If I was 25 and skinny instead of +65 and fat, I wouldn't be getting either. Freedom is a beautiful thing. :):):)
