TX had 26k new cases, obviously some of that is backlog from the Xmas holiday...but based on CFR, Texas is going to double mortality by the end of January.

is it too early to blame @Splinty's 2020 Election Fraud Holiday Mixer? I feel a little responsible, as the line was around the yacht when it was my turn to man the Mistletoe Kissing Booth.
I don't think hanging the Mistletoe from your belly button helped even though judging by the amount of times @Splinty kept getting back in line, he approved.

there's no doubt in my mind they'll throw the book at this person and make an example for other nutballs in health care.

the bigger issue is how are we going to achieve >80% compliance when this level of shitheadedness persists even in the medical community.

Where are you reading that we need >80% vaccination for herd immmunity?

Not saying you're wrong, I've just only read anything from 60-70%, not 80 or higher.

On a positive note, it's good to see older people in my area taking this seriously:

well then I just don't see a way to make it as retarded as the post it replied to...

sorry.
It shouldn't be the goal to out retard each other. The vaccine is 95% effective against symptomatic covid. People are getting very, very carried away with what this vaccine is.

Personally I'm not worried about a new strain. 5% of the population not getting protection from the vaccine should probably be garnering at least some attention though.

i'm more concerned with the ability of the virus to mutate in ways that make it more dangerous, if even only marginally more dangerous. I can't help but think that this new strain would probably not even be a thing if the US and UK weren't so ineffective in their containment of the original strain.

Why am I not surprised that you're more worried about a hypothetical doomsday scenario than you are the one that actually exists?

because you misinterpret what I mean when I say 'more worried'...

i'm not worried like you think I'm worried. i adapted quick and early.
