@Chronic



only for the ready. don't bother me until you can refute the points.

background:

covid



mutations



the case:

wuhan







@Rhakim @Cynic

The genetic distance between the Cave Covid and the Wuhan covid is too far to have evolved alone and hence that is why another species "the Pangolin" is required. Alternatively viral modification / recombination could be done in a lab.

Last 3 videos above break it all down.

:mjlol:And it begins, might as well just give money instead of a chance of winning which is like hitting the lottery 1 in a billion chances.

they not really tryna give out any money. :heh:

it's easier to enroll in the Iowa vaccine lotto. NY wants people to go to one location in a few counties to pick up a lotto ticket.:shaq2:

They got our names in a database, they should work off that like Iowa is doing. :stopitslime:

edit: Cuomo finessing :pacspit: .. my guess is fewer than 500,000 new yorkers participate and since it's the regular lotto, nobody wins. Meanwhile five vaccinated individuals in Iowa is guaranteed to win money.

no it’s not

60% of adult have received atleast one shot

people who haven’t been vaccinated are in the minority and are at the most risk


Giving people lottery tickets is a sign of desperation no matter way you cut it. First it was shake shack burgers and fries and Krispy Kreme donuts now this.

I mean, do want them to get vaccinated or not? A $5 million lottery is a drop in the bucket if it means getting businesses back to full steam and tax revenue gets flowing once again.

I rather the carrot approach than the stick (you can’t go to X or Y without proof of a vaccine). This is one of those moments where the means justifies the end.

60%? Word?

Yea, a little over 60% of the US adult population (18+) have had at least one shot. That number is like 70-75% for 65+ (The most at risk of hospitalizations and death). Also throw in a 93% follow up rate on the 2-shot schedule. IIRC just one shot of Pfizer offers like 80-85% protection which is really good.

That’s why I’m puzzled when the Coli talks about an additional wave coming or the CDC being foolish for lifting the mask guidance. Cases are dropping and the US is almost at the point where half of the total population has received at least one shot. 1.8 million doses still being administered a day. The main thing is the most at risk are getting covered so no overwhelming the healthcare system.

And all the known variants are getting adequate coverage from the vaccines in market.

The numbers don’t lie.

It might not work but we’ll see.
