Went to the gym today here in LA for the first time since shutdown last April. Surprisingly empty at 9am.

Hope she recovers soon. I had no idea that kids that young could even get tested.my daughter is almost two and she's had a cough for over a week and a fever for about 3 days so we call her dr. and they say she needs a covid test before they see her. my wife takes her she said it was terrible. nobody else in the house got sick but my son's school said he has to stay home until we get the results. i was a little irritated but we didn't come this far by sticking with all of the guidelines only to start slacking off now.
NY can’t get out of this plateau of hospitalizations
Yeah it's worrying me that the pandemic is being presented as on its way out and that cases are dropping everywhere but this is not the case in NY. People over here hear this news and starting easing up, restrictions being lifted, an almost vacant governor's seat, throw in 2-3 60 degree days last week where people feel invincible and you get a bad recipe.New cases seem to be stubbornly high as well, which will inevitably lead to hospitalizations and deaths.

I know I mentioned this before but I think after this is all but dead throughout the country, NY will stay within a plateau and lag waaay behind other states.
Last Wednesday (57 degrees) I went for a walk around the business street over here and every rstaurant was packed with people in those little "outdoor" seating houses.

Where do you guys stand on the idea of vaccination passports? In theory, it would make perfect sense to provide an incentive to get more people vaccinated if they are allowed to do more and feel comfortable that they are surrounded by other people who are also “safe” but of course it would also require companies to actually enforce it. I read that the US Government has no interest in issuing one. I think it’s a mistake to leave it up to some other entity to centralize and standardize the process, if it is going to exist. It will get complicated when one is required by other countries to enter and we don’t have one.
Been away so long I lost the flavor...lolanyone been to a gym?
they are opening up without reservations anymore
i'm going to hold off on rejoining 24 for awhile
Been away so long I lost the flavor...lol
I will not work out wearing a mask though. tf

Doesn't sound that badMaybe those that refuse vaccination should wear a color coded badge
on their chest to identify themselves. Everywhere they go.
Or what about electric collars like we use on dogs/livestock?
For everyone.
Those not vaccinated are given a very small radius to live in...
if they roam outside that zone, they get shocked - for the first offense...
All adults may be eligible to receive a vaccine in a couple of months. But whether doses actually will be available will depend on a lot of things going right.
Why COVID-19 Vaccines Aren’t Yet Available to Everyone
President Biden has promised that all adults will be eligible to receive a vaccine by May. But manufacturing and distributing enough doses will depend on a lot of things going right.www.newyorker.com
“We’re getting better at it,” Calitri said, of the manufacturing process. “I think people don’t know how challenging it is to make billions of doses of a product that you did not have a process for nine months ago. And then to scale that up even further. There’s so much involved from an engineering perspective, from a quality perspective, from a compliance perspective, and from a safety perspective. We’re not making widgets. We’re making a product that people inject into their bodies—into healthy humans—and it has to be perfect. We need to make sure of that for every single dose. That takes engineering, it takes science, it takes time.”
good read, thanks for posting. The chemicals used and biotech processes involved are incredibly detailed so massive manufacturing of all those tiny glass vials in a few months is wild.
I was eligible yesterday went online ASAP to schedule an appointment, confirmed and everything. Got a text a few hours later that my appointment was canceled due to supply and whatever was left earlier is booked up
im young-ish and somewhat healthy lol I can wait
We've had problems in the UK too - I’ve been working in one of the mass centres at the weekend but got an email a few weeks ago saying that due to supply issues no casual work would be available - they were prioritising those with full time contracts (which is fair enough) - amd then all of a sudden today I got 3 emails getting progressively more desperate sounding saying that shifts are available - and there are lots. Hopefully that means the supply is more stable - and as more need their second dose I should get a few months more work.

Sucks you're in PA man, not sure how far u are from NYC but I could probably set up an appointment for u at my job in the Bronx.
Have you tried indicating you're a smoker (even if you're not)?
I am a smoker..who lives in the Bronx..cough.
Haha I'll see if I can set something up. I'll PM you.
