Yeah I agree with him on (or he agrees with me?!) that this is most likely. My opinion is that we have different mitigation strategies in the pandemic phase versus the endemic phase. During the pandemic phase when there are all these immune naive people who are potentially susceptible to severe disease, aggressive vaccination strategies to protect against severe disease is appropriate. During the endemic phase when there is enough immunity that you don't see huge surges with morbidity and mortality, a more targeted vaccination (both in terms of the target for the vaccine and who gets it and when) strategy makes sense. I could even see the situation where there is enough T-cell immunity or cross immunity built up that a vaccine isn't even necessary, of we have some sort of a test to determine who to recommend to get it. A new variant would probably be the big driver for a new vaccine push in that scenario.

Biggest dork I've ever seen poorly sings a dumb song.

Not at all impossible to describe.

Never been to an Indy 500. Glad you got to go. More importantly, with the likes of McMillion. Was a great man.

I saw Office Space and Joe Dirt in theaters.






Just kidding. No one did.

I saw Joe Dirt in theater.

He’s apparently some sort of comedian from Highland Park who does bits during the City Council open mic time.

Whether he is pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, that bit was not funny.

Not nearly as good as this bit

Classic.

Quick aside re:F1; sorry that Donut Media video I posted was blocked by F1, but if anyone is interested in the sport Donut has some great videos to get you up to speed.

Okay, back to discussing the killer virus.

80’s news screens a good twitter follow, btw, especially if you are over 50.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul both put in requirements for vaccination or proof of negative test to eat in restaurants. Home tests not accepted.

Say goodbye to those restaurants - many people not vaxxed or opposed to the requirement will go elsewhere (as I will, despite being vaccinated), while those who are vaccinated will be afraid to go out.

hopefully people still find a way to support restaurants they like - doesn’t sound like it was their choice.

I think the surge will only be for a short time so hopefully those establishments don’t get hurt too badly.

I’d be very, very happy if that turned out to be Steel.

I hope they all need to close and the proprietors and their customers vote out of office the idiots who made this decision.
