Will You Get The Vaccine?

[Sadie]

I am neither optimistic or pessimistic. I am realistic. The numbers do not lie. The article you cited is so full of ifs, and, buts and maybes. That they admit they really do not know. Optimism is one thing. Rolling the dice is another. If you get lucky you win. If not. Snake eyes.

Some already have. But it is still a numbers problem. Having enough people and room to do it. Plus the vaccine has a shelf life of 30 days. Some of the initial doses shipped will be reaching that point in a week or two

Moderna is 60 months at -20 and 30 days with normal refrigeration, but yeah the other one is 35 days. And no, same data two different outlook. Its not just being realistic, it is pessimistic. Even though its unknown, you assume the worst and I don't. You probably think I am a Pollyanna and maybe I think you are an Eeyore. But most likely the reality is somewhere in the middle. Its a new virus and no one knows for sure.

Its not just being realistic, it is pessimistic.

The article gave very little to be optimistic about. Hopeful maybe. Regardless. Getting the vaccine to the population is still a massive numbers game and I do not see that we have the numbers.

Agree. I figure by the time its my turn the thing will have mutated into a bad cold, or a certain death virus, either is possible.

No flu diagnosis in Gallatin County so far this season​

No flu diagnosis in Gallatin County so far this season

Have you been diagnosed with the flu before as a Gallatin County resident? Chances are probably. But that was before the COVID-19 pandemic and a relatively quiet flu season.

‘What happened to flu season?’ Doctors say flu cases are lowest in recorded history​

In the last flu season, from 2019 to 2020, the CDC recorded 38,000,000 flu cases in the U.S., 405,000 were hospitalized, and 22,000 deaths from the virus.

In the last several months in Washington State, there have been zero documented deaths because of the flu.

“It’s not just a Puget Sound thing, it’s not just Washington State, it’s the entire country,” said Dr. Paul Pottinger, who studies and teaches virus behavior and infectious diseases at UW Medicine.

“In fact, this is happening on most of our planet.”

Any way you cut it, doctors say there are virtually no flu cases at all this season, a phenomenon they call one of the great mysterious vanishing acts of a virus they’ve ever seen.

While the pandemic dominates every aspect of life everywhere, Doctors say something quietly remarkable is happening to another typically dangerous virus, leaving them with a question: What happened to the flu?

Everything is COVID-19.

One of the more interesting things I've seen in the community groups (my neighborhood) on social in the number of people that are reporting that very elderly/very sick relatives entering the hospital for the last time are testing negative for the virus, then when they pass away a day or two later, the death is reported as COVID-19. My opinions are strictly data and fact driven, and really don't like anecdotes. But when this happens dozens of times in just the local community by person intimate with the situation, I'm of the opinion that further investigation is absolutely warranted.

I think the answer is crystal clear if we could peek behind the death certificate curtain. In our business for most assignments we check drop stairs or scuttle, imagine if we were paid more for checking scuttle......do you think there might be more properties in the Fannie vault with scuttles?

If you go back and look at the data in 202 before COVID was all over the news, this was going to be a light flu year anyway. Flu predictions are based on what happens in Australia during their winter. Australia reported low flu numbers so the US was not expecting a bad flu year to begin with. Add masks, stay apart and not going anywhere, it shouldn't be a surprise flu level are low.
