They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I read somewhere the person who died was on placebo, a control.

Shares of AstraZeneca were steady in Thursday’s premarket trading, one day after closing lower on news that a Covid-19 vaccine trial volunteer in Brazil died. The University of Oxford, which is developing the vaccine with AstraZeneca, said “there have been no concerns about safety of the clinical trial.” A source familiar with the situation told Reuters that the trial would have been suspended if the volunteer had been a part of the group getting the shot.

There's just not much of a threat of outdoor transmission.


yet with many folks wearing masks and eating/drinking outdoors instead of indoors we are seeing a major increase in cases and hospitalizations

There's no evidence to link the two.

I can't speak for where you are, but down here I see many people eating indoors, and with groups that aren't their own families.  Our neighbors (empty nesters in their 50s) caught it two months ago from having indoor dinner at a restaurant with some "dear friends"-- a restaurant that was restricted to 50% capacity.

Of all the people I know who've caught it, and that is numbering double digits now, it has always occurred indoors, in cases where people are maskless and in close proximity for >30 minutes.  Restaurants, church, family gatherings.

Saw my doc yesterday about my shoulders, got what I wanted.  Cortisone shot on the right and asking my insurance company for an MRI on the left.

asked him about the virus....  this office is doing about 50 tests a day with the contact tracing

he thinks the increase is due to fatigue.  people are tired of not being out in the community living their lives.  Even the elderly that are at risk.  People have decided they are going to risk it.  Feeling a bit safe wearing a mask.  

I asked him about school/younger kids being a cause of the spread.  He said kids at school are not spreading the virus.  He said anyone that is asymptomatic is not spreading the virus.

It's being spread by people that have symptoms and are sick.

highs in the 30s here for the next week with 3 inches of snow on Sunday.  People are going back inside.  I don't see this getting better.

This bit is counter to what's in the mainstream media, but at this point doctors who've been facing it for months have a pretty good bead on it.  Certainly better than anything reported in our craptastic media.

Yup, two of the folks I know got it at an indoor funeral.  I only know of one wedding of people in my circle, is was outdoors and they dropped the invitation list to only immediate family.  That was a month ago, no issues as far as I know.

Wedding reception that I was invited but didn't attend caused 10 people to get the virus

lucky for me I was in Lincoln drinking in the bars with my brother - not really safe, but obviously safer than the wedding reception
