Guest Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Don’t be fooled, the Biden admin has been overly conservative in the vaccine distribution estimates since before he took office (remember 100 millions doses in the first 100 days when we already were at 1 million/day on Inauguration Day 😂). This is where the pharmas have been headed this whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fucking nightmare at times, especially after a snow storm. Transport trucks having sometimes blocks of ice falling all around me and pieces of shredded tires too. Although I didn’t like the highway the taxi took us on in Austin, TX there.

marioandsonic Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 3 minutes ago, CitizenVectron said: Good. America has been neglecting public education for many decades. Most public schools are old buildings and have outdated ventilation and electrical systems. Classrooms are overcrowded, and teachers are ridiculously underpaid. Now the GOP is talking about how important it is for kids to get back to school ASAP following or during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, but they still don’t want to fix those issues. They just want to pin all the blame on the teacher unions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly felt that way last year when I heard the virus wouldn’t come here and it’ll get warm in April. I still don’t get how a guy who spent so much time in Florida doesn’t understand that it was already warm in Florida and the virus was still spreading. Whatever, this is how it should be!

marioandsonic Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A friend and I set plans to try and meet up in mid-April. We chose that back in June. Since then, I have gotten the vaccine and should get my second dose in about 3 weeks, so I should be fine. She, however, has not gotten hers yet. She lives in Indiana, and they so far are only factoring age and employment, not comorbidities. She said she'll see how things are by the end of March. And that's fair enough. If we met up and she got Covid...I don't know if I could ever forgive myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of damage was done by Trump repeatedly setting unrealistic expectations, including it just exhausting people into giving up when the rosy promises turned out to be bullshit and the finish line gets moved back another few months. It's just infinitely better expectations management to under-promise and over-deliver, doubly so when you need long-term cooperation from the public. Telling us end of July and now it's the end of May at least sends some hope, even if the current message still boils down to "you need to hang on for a bit longer" since it's at least less of a bit longer than it was a month ago.

Guest Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Jason said: They want to meet up in April doe. LOL, I read the second sentence as "we chose to move that back to June" or something along those lines when I read it. April is certainly more iffy, depends on the exact date. But I'd guess anything after the middle of the month she has a solid shot of having received the 1st dose and the effects happen fairly rapidly in young healthy folks.

Yes, I think there are indeed psychological benefits to under promise/over deliver. And psychological benefits are often able to turn into tangible benefits in terms of actions.

All of the Northeast drives aggressively bad (as opposed to the west coast, where it's just bad) but having driven here all my life . . . Jersey drivers are the worst, but left turns are illegal in Jersey because Philadelphians can't drive? From what I recall the reason Jersey drivers are bad is because the tests and requirements to get a license there are less stringest. If that's true, that explains it.

I’m sorry, did I just get looked down upon by someone who has to exit the comfort of their own vehicle and pump their own gas like a fucking peasant? Perhaps too much close exposure to the gasoline vapors has eroded part of your brain necessary for critical thinking. Imagine making the argument that doing unpaid menial labor and touching the same pump as the teeming unwashed masses probably right after taking a shit and not washing their hands, then phrasing it as a privilege. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
