Jason Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 On 2/14/2022 at 6:37 PM, Jason said: I bought some at home COVID test on January 18, tried to submit the claim to my insurer but their online submission system was failing so tried again on the 19th and got it in, now nearly a full month later the claim has finally gone from not appearing at all in my claims history to showing as "pending". Sure is a great system the Biden administration set up here. I can afford to float the money, but way too many people can't. Now it's showing as approved, but that they're only covering $51.31, and that I'm also on the hook for the sales tax of $8.15. The full EOB isn't available yet but for the before-tax amount, what they're saying I'm on the hook for works out to about 35%, which is my out of network coinsurance rate. For even more fun, this $28.21 they're saying is my responsibility does not seem to have applied against my deductible nor out of pocket max. I'll check again once the EOB is generated I guess but if this counted against the deductible then I would think they would have just said they're not reimbursing me shit but that I'd made progress of $79.52 toward my deductible. Just really impressive what a clusterfuck this is, this is definitely not what people are going to go in thinking "your insurance has to cover 8 at-home tests a month" means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Criteria taken into account include supply deals, production constraints, vaccine hesitancy, the size of the population, and the availability of healthcare workers. This was the actual criteria and when the study was done, Canada was doing abysmally in terms of vaccinations. Also why is he comparing US and Canada vaccination rates as though the Economist made this about some US vs Canada thing. They both met the metric the Economist set a long time ago.

Otherwise, once shipments came in, Canada fairly quickly overtook the US in vaccination. In any scenario where Canada doesn't get vaccinated more quickly than the US, the US would have also likely been waiting until 2022. Canada's contracts were solid and had priority over even European nations, and didn't rely on American production facilities (though did receive excess production from the US later on once US demand waned). Obviously if there had been other unforeseen issues then things could have gone awry, but the article/study was correctly mocked at the time for not being realistic, and of course it ended up being completely wrong. Also, the map comment is a joke in reference to how people made fun of the way the report listed Canada's "vast territory" as one impediment to smooth rollout. In fact, remote areas typically received quicker rollout as it was handled directly by the federal government (most remote areas typically holding a larger Indigenous population): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that tweet sure didn’t have much besides a couple of shitweets. The estimate was made in January 2021 so obviously things were still heavily subject to change. The prediction for the US and Europe was also wildly off. So why is he focusing on Canada? I guarantee you he had no idea that the study set widespread vaccination at 60% of adults being vaccinated.

But it was pretty clear even early on that it was going to be done by fall of 2021. I was certainly concerned about delays, but not about fabricated nonsense.

CitizenVectron Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Just had a bizarre encounter with a coworker. Every since they forced us back in the office at least 40% of the time, I've been wearing an N95 all day. I refuse to share air with some of my coworkers, lol. Anyway, our admin assistant likes to clean the office and she always wipes down door knobs with lysol, etc. So she is going person to person and asking what part of the bathroom door we touch when we close it. She said most people probably touch the door itself, not the handle. When I said I don't really pay attention, but I probably use the handle, she scoffed and said it's the most unclean part, that's why everyone touches the door itself, I responded with "well if everyone else is touching the door and I'm touching the handle, then aren't I the cleanest?" She didn't have a response. Then I pointed out that COVID transmission doesn't appear to really happen via surface, and that she should be more concerned with a good mask. I said this as she walks around scrubbing everything yet has a flimsy cloth mask on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 CDC says waiting longer between Pfizer, Moderna doses may reduce rare myocarditis risk for younger men WWW.CNBC.COM The CDC said males ages 12- to 39-years-old should consider waiting 8 weeks between the first and second doses of Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines. Quote The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week that younger males should consider waiting longer between doses of Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines to reduce a rare risk of heart inflammation. The CDC said males ages 12- to 39-years-old should consider waiting 8 weeks between the first and second doses of their primary vaccination series. Public health authorities in Canada found that the risk of myocarditis in men ages 18- to 24-years-old was lower when they waited eight weeks for the second dose of Moderna or Pfizer. The CDC recommends that other eligible individuals wait three weeks between Pfizer shots and four weeks between Moderna doses, particularly the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
