It's like the bad guys in movies who time how long they are on the phone with the cops so they can't lock on a trace. Just keep a timer on your watch and make sure you never spend more than 14:59 with any one person and you'll never get it!bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 9:33 amRead that article this morning. These Covid stories are getting crazier by the day. Didn’t Kilgore already get put on the shelf last week for some other contact?
My wife is an educator and had game duty as the admin the other night. The sport that night was lacrosse. Where we live it’s played in several high schools but is technically a club sport so apparently some parents are involved with keeping scores and stats. In our county we currently only allow 100 spectators for outdoor home games and only the parents of the home team may attend. So last Friday night my wife was in the press box with a parent who has since tested positive. The policy (get this) is if a school employee came into contact with someone who tested positive FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES then the employee must quarantine for 10 days. Yes 15 magic minutes is the number. I asked my wife what would have happened if it was determined that she was only close to that parent for 14 minutes? I guess it would be ok.
I would say more seeing the drop from getting beyond holiday travel. Vaccines probably help, but that distribution processes was so screwed up, we’re probably still a ways out from seeing progress from that.
Perhaps. There's a lot of political noise around the roll-out and true, there have been some bumps, but 34 million arms have been stuck as of Feb 3rd and that started from FDA approval in mid-December. I personally think that's pretty impressive when nothing of this scale had ever been attempted before especially with the cold storage requirements.boonetown1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 10:29 amI would say more seeing the drop from getting beyond holiday travel.

The development of the vaccine in less than a year is unprecedented and a testament to our scientists and medical researchers. However, the vaccine rollout has been a disaster so far. In 2019 just under 50% of the entire population of the US received the Flu vaccine and this happens pretty much every year. I'm guessing if possible they would have vaccinated the whole population with the bulk of them taking about 3 months. Yes the refrigeration issue makes logistics much more challenging than normal vaccines but the Flu doesn't shut the whole country down either. One would think the sense of urgency would be multiple times that of vaccinating for the Flu. I will reserve judgement for a while since it's a completely new vaccine but I hope we see a dramatic increase in the numbers being vaccinated daily. According the CDC, yesterday just over 6% of the population has received at least one shot. My 74 year old Mother-in-law (with multiple underlying conditions) called to get scheduled in Guilford County when they dropped the age to 65 and is now scheduled to receive her first vaccination in MAY . As a 57 year old with some underlying conditions I wonder if I will be vaccinated by the end of the Summer.Rick83 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:10 pmPerhaps.

Local governments need to get their local Chick-Fil-a involved in how to process people through these sites like the mayor of Mt Pleasant, SC did. The Chick-Fil-a manager very quickly reduced the hours-long waits for vaccines to 15 minutes.
Hopefully, the roll out will progress and we'll get this virus behind us and get back to our normal lives...
We obviously have different opinions, which is fine. But I don't think you can compare the annual flu vaccine rollout with the Covid vaccine roll-out. For one thing, only something like a third to less than a half of Americans even get the flu shot and it's known well in advance when those shipments will go out and usually they have a good idea of how much to produce in advance so supply isn't an issue. There's not an urgency to get everyone stuck, it's more of a casual thing that people get when it's convenient and many don't even get it until deep into flu season. Totally different from a couple of hundred million trying to get it ASAP.mikeyosef wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 3:00 pmThe development of the vaccine in less than a year is unprecedented and a testament to our scientists and medical researchers.

One very positive decision the previous administration made was to pay $Billions to have the vaccines manufactured well before they even knew they would be effective. A risky wager that paid off. That's why there were 20 million doses or whatever right off the bat. It has been an impressive effort, that much is for sure. I just hope the process moves along a little faster....on a positive note, the anti-vaxxers don't seem to be winning the day as everyone I know is in a hurry to get stuck and put this chapter behind them.App91 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:11 pmThe fact that you can even manufacture 34 million units in 45 days is amazing, let alone come up with something of a vaccine. I think its alot like PPE in the early going, people just believe its sitting around somewhere waiting to be used. Once they get the local pharmacies going in the process it will go alot further faster. you cant go from 0-60 in .5 seconds.
Glad to hear that.mikeyosef wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 5:00 pmOne very positive decision the previous administration made was to pay $Billions to have the vaccines manufactured well before they even knew they would be effective.

No inside information at all but to me it looks like Chick-Fil-a is simply willing to pay good people and have enough of them in place to do the job.
