Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

It sounded like its efficacy was more about keeping the virus from advancing to severe so keeping people out of ICU and the morgue

Right, but better protection is better. It's better than no shot so people should get it! But we probably don't have a lot of data about immune compromised people for example who might not produce as much of an immune response or people with serious lung issues, or people with kids who can't get vaccinated, so that extra 33% prevention is better and helps reach herd immunity faster too even in ordinary folks.

But again, it's a good thing to have. I'm all for more tools in the toolbox.

I think it's kinda funny that they went the same route as the mRNA vaccine with targeting the spike though. It makes sense, though. It's the best spot to target. It does the same thing as the mRNA vaccine to some degree. Just differently.

Are we misspelling this for a reason?

Not bothering to use my spell check? XD

(that's a reason, right?)

We knew what you meant so not a big deal

 

[RebeccaRN]

I absolutely do not understand some peoples inherent need to make others feel less than or stupid. Our kids act that way, we should be past that at our age. Very disheartening

? I don't think it's a big deal to have my spelling corrected sometimes. It's just not a big deal in any way. I can't bring myself to care. Language is too fluid to care.

Its rude and unnecessary

 

[ChocolateMouse]

Maybe but not to me. I just don't need that kind of defense, and aart is fine.

There are things just not worth getting upset about and language is one of them imo.

 

[RebeccaRN]

Its just hard to have a meaningful, intelligent conversation when some show no respect for others

Just wondered if you were avoiding any tracking.
KIDDING.
Geez, wasn't being 'rude'.
Used to work there....we had a ton of spelling jokes running around.

 

[ChocolateMouse]

Aart is plenty respectful. I've suggested already that not only do I not mind but it's more disruptive to spend so much time critiquing a joke. Given that it's my spelling being called out and made at my expense the feelings that matter here are mine. People are allowed to set their own boundaries and ought be capable of saying when something upsets them and aart has not upset me and I don't need someone defending boundaries I don't have.
