OT: Coronavirus Good News maybe

Probably because "the interesting bunch" likes to be able to meet their financial obligations and they don't have the luxury of "working from home".

I have nothing wrong with that but why the clamor for the vaccine if it’s so safe to dine in at restaurants? Also if they were laid off they were probably making more through unemployment and the extra benefits. Also lots of other retail were constantly looking for help

Yep. The whole "order takeout to stop the spread" is nonsense. If you stay home but order from restaurants, Home Depot, Amazon, and the grocery store, you've done a good job of protecting yourself. But all those folks in the supply chain, warehouses, meat packers, farmers, kitchen workers, transportation, the power grid, etc., they don't have that luxury. That is where spread has been happening since the beginning. It is why we have utterly failed to stop it.

Those people should be in group 1A. But they aren't politically well represented. So people at less risk are going first.

Really wondering how Arkansas with their 14.8% positivity set their record for largest WBB crowd this week??

Umm, have you been to Arkansas? They don't give a crap. The state is like a third world country.

Just spoke with one of my coworkers, he had Pfizer dose two - 102 fever, swollen lymph nodes and he still sounds a little crummy 4 days later. He was talking up blood type. Could be on to something- I’m o+ and was fine. I’m curious if that could be a link - there were suggestions of higher susceptibility to covid early on based on blood type but nothing conclusive.
