👍👍👍 About time... But seriously, why wait for Friday? Why not from midnight tonight? Friday will be 28 days without community transmission which I believe has always been the threshold for easing restrictions. You realise that the Premier of this great state who is the skid mark on the underpants of life has still not re-opened International Arrivals, there is literally no possible chance of someone being infectious in Victoria right now. By the way @hr, did you hear the rumor that Andrews didn't fall down the stairs but had the shit beat out of him by one of his Union mates? Hence the lack of photos. I don't know if it is true, but thinking that it is, keeps me warm at night 😅

US looking at a widespread outbreak of the UK variant. Tens of thousands of people descended on Florida to celebrate spring break and the end of COVID, where a B.1.1.7 outbreak is currently happening. They will then bring this home with them. No social distancing or masks were used by most spring breakers meaning COVID likely will have ripped through that group. With most people being able to get the vaccine many college kids assumed that if they set COVID they can just get the vaccine and it will cure it.

I'm more of a believer in Team Andrews pulling a dodgy workcover style scam/story to get this dickhead out of the spotlight for a few months to ease some of the tension iNCY We've had a PM unapologetically holiday during a natural disaster, so anything is possible. Especially when you've spent 12 months being smashed by the media, general public and I'm sure his own children have punched him in the head atleast once. Taking a few months off with a "sore back" isn't something out of the question.

U.S. population is what... 328 million? Even 1% dipping out doesn't seem like enough of a dent. Especially not to ensure most of the stupids get got. Whatever the projected death toll in Contagion was. Let's shoot for that to start. Reboot. Rebuild.

I haven't followed it closely, but did Texas say to hell with restrictions and is now pretending everything is ok?

c , can you make any sense of this AZ story in Europe? Germany has seen 31 cases of CVST from 2.1m doses, the UK has only seen 4 cases from 13.7m doses. I've read this may be due to the condition occurring primarily in younger people, of which the UK has vaccinated few and those that they have vaccinated had Pfizer. To me though, it doesn't explain the huge discrepancy between the two nations. Some of these CVST cases have been fatal, and most of them are in young women. If it can be determined that the vaccine itself it causing the issue exclusively (and not the disease generally), we may be approaching a point where the vaccine is a higher risk (still very, very low) to fatality than the disease in these people. I really hope this doesn't damage confidence in other vaccines.

Uhhh... That doesn't sound fun. They think one of the vaccines is causing this?

The AZ vaccine is almost certainly causing it, although the nature of the cause is unknown. I've heard everything from genetic predisposition to difference in OTC medications such as a birth control pill. For some reason it isn't happening in the UK.

AZ will be approved for use in the US as it should be everywhere, but I doubt it'll be used. The US has ridiculous manufacturing capacity for other vaccines and introducing the vaccine may reduce uptake because of the political shitstorm the EU caused over this vaccine. It may be smarter for the US to leave AZ to the side. It will be approved though. It's working a treat here in the UK, it's an amazing vaccine.

Vaccines come with rare side effects. Even something like paracetamol is labelled with a shit load of weird effects. There is no question older people should take the vaccine. Inertia will be a difficult problem to overcome in younger people taking up the vaccine. People accept passive risk more easily than they take it. If you tell someone they have a 0.01% chance of getting a blood clot but a 0.02% chance of catching and dying from COVID, they'll sit on their hands and do nothing. This won't be a problem in America where there are millions of other vaccines in the pipeline.

I really hope this doesn't damage confidence in other vaccines. First, they need to determine causation. When you attempt to vaccinate an entire population, you will see all sorts of things occur that would have occured whether or not the vaccine was given. Since CVST is an extreme outlier reaction, could be just mere chance that one country has that many more cases. Stuff like this needs to be simulated to determine really if it is safer or not. Option B is a food / medication interaction. Food is not likely, but birth control differences may be. CVST is linked to estrogen, which is why young women are falling sick I would bet, and it is likely this could be related more to differences in base rate due to birth control than the vaccine itself. Likely will not get the full reasons for this until an outlier analysis is done of those who did get sick. They can be tricky to prefer well though as it is not entirely statistical in the analysis. Kind of a puzzle to find where the difference is interest really is. Use statistics to start, but then have to use qualitative methods, which many statistics people are not trained in.

The strangest side effect I have had from medication is Gabapentin reversed the greying of my hair. Prior to taking it my facial hair turned white, and starting it the white hair there and my head was after a few shaves.
People really do not understand how rare a 1 in 100k event is.

Once covid is over the government is gonna mark it with an anniversary purge night.
Or at least once the all clear is given, I expect people to go insane in the name of FREEDOM.
