West Virginia has vaccinated 4.9% of the population as of yesterday. Can be proud to be leading the USA.

in some places in the US, vaccine distribution sounds like a complete #$%$show!

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads ... st-5260831 has an account from a retired physician (I have seen his medical-related posts in that thread before so I'm pretty sure he is a legit doctor) from receiving his 1st shot at the San Diego health dept. Oh boy.

As he points out, it is very much YMMV depending on where the vaccine is being administered.

We are not doing well here in CA now. https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except ... ial-needs/ shows that he Southern CA region has 0% ICU capacity.

I fully agree with the doc that covid vaccinations should be carried out by National Guard. Our healthcare workers are far too busy coping with the disease itself. Set up field hospitals for sole purpose of vaccination, and work out an online scheduling system so that all you have to do when you arrive is present your ID. You get your shot and a certificate to be used for scheduling the 2nd dose. In and out.

More proof lockdowns and shutdowns are catastrophic failures pushed by authoritarian enthusiasts.
77% of spreading happens at home.

Some call it trolling I call it pointing out willfully ignored facts. The lockdowns s and shutdowns are over in every way possible for me aside from that which is beyond my control.
There is no reason I should continue to hide at home, even if I didn't have the immunity idol.

[LeftieBiker]

You post a link to a scientific article that points out that "herd immunity" can't work to control the virus, and then claim that it's an argument to let people go out and...wait for it... spread the virus. If you can only cherry pick, rather than read for comprehension, then no one will bother to look at your links. You are not unlike the Trump supporters at another site, posting as "evidence" endless links to YouTube videos in which other Trump supporters make the same unsupported claims.

The ONLY way to stop a virus is to stop the spread. How do you stop the spread?

That's pretty obvious, Simplistic, for sure, but scientifically sound.

[LeftieBiker]

It's true that most spread occurs within the home. That is the case because most people are not taking the precautions needed to stop them from bringing the virus home.

[Oilpan4]

If people aren't doing what they are supposed to then why is flu down like 90%?
And that link isn't a youtube video, so leave the straw men in the farmers field. Why even bing it up?
I know why because you have no rational response.
I could cherry pick reasons how you are exactly like trump supporters I make fun of but there's no need to or at least not today.
