A friend of ours in France, mid-40s, is now home after spending a week in ICU with COVID.  I just talked with another fellow we know same age here who was in the hospital for a week at Emory, he said he thought he was going to die, also mid-40s.

None outwardly obvious, both men appear "normal", I don't know them well enough to know much of their history.

A little Advil, a hot fried chicken sandwich, and 3 IPAs fixed me up right.

Never mind. Ride a 101 fever for about four hours. Hopefully better now.

It was those 3 IPAs.  If you had consumed actual GOOD beer, you'd have been fine!

I figured that I'd given my immune system enough calories and carbs to go to war. Only thing left to send those soldiers into battle was to give them some liquid courage!

Well as of today I'm exactly 2 weeks away from Moderna shot#2.  I'm really hoping I have little to no reaction, same as my i s c & a aggie wife.  Otherwise, she's never going to let me live it down.  Even if I feel like I'm gonna die, I can't let her know...

Noticing many more businesses dropping own mask requirements including some which were vigilant in requiring them.

such as Memorial stadium and haymarket park and bars in Lincoln last weekend

Lost a distant cousin to corona this last week. He was in his 70’s.  His wife had it as well and had to be hospitalized.  She made it, he did not. I didn’t know him well so I can’t speak to his general health. 

I’d say mask usage is less than 30% in most places I frequent these days.

Lots of commentary across yesterday's news outlets on how attainable herd immunity will really be - from the NY Times:

"But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever."

"Instead, they are coming to the conclusion that rather than making a long-promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the United States for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths but in much smaller numbers."

"Early on, the target herd immunity threshold was estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent of the population."

"But as vaccines were developed and distribution ramped up through the winter and into the spring, estimates of the threshold began to rise. That is because the initial calculations were based on the contagiousness of the original version of the virus. The predominant variant now circulating in the United States, called B.1.1.7 and first identified in Britain, is about 60 percent more transmissible."

"As a result, experts now calculate the herd immunity threshold to be at least 80 percent. If even more contagious variants develop, or if scientists find that immunized people can still transmit the virus, the calculation will have to be revised upward again."

I'd like to see the methodology of how they came up with that graphic. Most of Minnesota (outside of the MSP metro, Rochester, and the reservations) is much, much less likely to get vaccinated against COVID. Especially 3 in the middle where less than 25% of the entire population have gotten vaccinated.
