At work we get to quit wearing masks if we choose to, two weeks after getting our last vaccine, and for me this will be Monday! I'll still wear a mask when walking around or working in certain areas, but I'll go without it in my own cubicle and at meetings. Can't wait! And no, we aren't...

There's no vaccine in existence that prevents any virus 100%. Even the polio vaccine that's been around for over 60 years isn't 100% effective. People who have weakened immune systems due to a wide variety of causes, aren't going to form enough antibodies from any vaccine. The only reason...

I'm getting my second Moderna this Monday, and according to the CDC, I'll be able to go everywhere without a mask starting June 5th. I'll definitely go without the mask at work, I'm mostly in my own cubicle anyway. But for a few more months, I'm still going to wear a mask at some places, like...

That's helpful information, thank you. I'll keep my mask on in public places and continue the disinfecting and hand-sanitizer protocol even after I'm completely vaccinated, and keep it up until covid cases in my area have diminished to close to none.

Today my workplace quit requiring masks for people who are two weeks past their second vaccination. Saw a few people without them today, too. I get mine Monday, so let's see - June 6th I get to go without it at work! I'm still going to wear it in stores and public, indoor places for a...

My second vaccine is scheduled in 2 weeks, then in mid-June I'll be able to go places. Not that I care all that much, I've enjoyed having a good excuse to work on my garden and avoid crowds. My workplace is still requiring masks for the time being, fine with me. The only thing I miss is...

I haven't heard anybody "quickly dismissing" it, certainly I'm not. What I said was that since it's only been approved for parasite infections, there needs to be more studies before it's approved for covid, just like was done with viagra before it was approved for ED. And that I hope there are...

LOL, I've definitely gotten it all over me!

I love to hear that! How awesome. Our grandkids are college-age, so all I hear about from friends and relatives with kids at home (as well as typical media articles) is how hard it is to home-school, to balance work-from-home while keeping the kids busy, etc. But a lot of these same people...

I feel like a jerk admitting it, but I've enjoyed most things. I should say first of all, both of us have been working at our same jobs the whole time, just doing protocols like masks, social distancing, wiping down workstations with bleach cloths, signing into the temperature station on our...

Your post got me thinking, so I decided to see what's true by doing some math... The death rate from all causes in 2019 was 869.7 deaths per 100,000 people according to the CDC, and 867.8 according to the National Center for Health Statistics, both sites that are pretty trustworthy. For 2020...

That's true, thanks for the correction. So it does replicate and mutate faster than say, smallpox. Still, the vaccines (at least the two commonly used, I don't know about the J&J one that just got approved) target the spike protein that allows the virus to attach to the cell wall, not the RNA...

Any type of protein molecule, including DNA viruses such as Corona, might or might not mutate every time they replicate. Those mutations, over time, might make a difference to their own survival, or to their ability to infect people, or be different but not affect their hosts at all, or affect...

I guess we don't really know for sure, pending further research. Judging by the way most viruses behave, as well as how most vaccinations work, immunity from the virus as well as the ability to transmit the virus, would decrease during the wait time after being vaccinated, and then approach zero...

Today I'm really thankful that my 84-y-old Mom, who lives in her condo in an Assisted Living facility in Florida, just got her 2nd vaccine. Her place has had strict social distancing and mask mandates since last March, and strict protocols for the caregiver staff people as well. Still, quite...

Do you mean the "type" that understands science?

The whole point of getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible, is to not give the virus time to mutate into some new form that the vaccine won't help.

Wow, thank you, so much. Two Haikus, with so much meaning and love. Future generations studying the total crap-scape of 2020 should read these few lines to realize we all still care about each other.

What??? Please explain. I'm in your state, and the gov has been promoting masks since day 1.

Oh no - I'm so sorry.
