Corona virus, the non-asshole thread

It does not appear that the large outdoor events are causing large spikes so that is a good thing. We are 4 weeks into the season and cases in our state are actually starting to drop off some so let’s hope this trend continues
Yes! If those events were causing spikes, we'd have known about it. It would be interesting to know why.
If you remember, there was a soccer match in Italy very early in the pandemic that was a super spreader.
honestly I think that people are not getting tested nearly as often as they are potentially symptomatic....all that being said I am hoping we are seeing the delta starting to burn out but who knows if there is another variant that will do the same
My sister, BIL and I went to the Darlington race several weeks ago. It was an outdoor event and very few people were wearing masks, but we were all fully-vaccinated earlier in the year.
We have had no illness since then.
Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

The bottom line is get vaccinated and wear a mask in crowded indoor settings until the crisis passes or becomes more manageable.

I know a ton of people who refuse to get tested unless they are worried about needing to go to the hospital...it is craziness
As for the outdoor events, I just can't help but think that it spreads very poorly in wide open spaces
This will be good for those who can't get vaxed due to medical reasons and as adjunct Rx for breakthrough cases. I would hope that providing this would require a vax along with the oral for the Q-tips.

Nice! This kind of thing is what it will take to get us out of Pandemic in my mind...people wone vaccinate for prevention can now access oral antivirals...hopefully if this proves efficacious then it will open up hospitals
I just hope that when delta burns out we don't have another variant waiting in the wings
80% isn't going to happen...the best you may get is 80% immunity rate (which is really what should be focused on IMO)
