The CDC confirms what most people with common sense knew. Mask mandates help but it's a very very small difference. Around 1 percent in regards to cases and deaths.

Trip report from the LA Forum: In and out in like 25 minutes including the 15 they make you wait after, never got out of the car. Very impressed with the whole system - they could scale that up to just about any level - just need a parking lot, some attendants and some nurses. The covid testing part of the parking lot had like 3 cars waiting. The attendants were throwing the football around. So that’s a ton more space right there.
One reason it moved so well is they basically check nothing except your driver’s license. They never scanned my QR code to make sure I had an appt. The woman who checked me in saw my university employer card and commented on it. But I don’t think she was going to check. I’m fairly convinced anyone could just drive up, say they have an appt and they work in Education and Childcare, and get a shot. Which isn’t a bad thing imo - just get people through as fast as possible. No symptoms so far. I had good luck getting appts between 4am and 6am for anyone in LA. |

I got tested for antibodies this week and was told I am very high lol and that’s a good thing. I’m going to wait for the J&J shot.

Moderna started their phase 1 on a new vaccine that targets the South African variant a bit better (or so they believe)

So I found out something interesting yesterday. It’s starting to get easier to get the vaccine if you take it upon yourself to keep digging rather than signing up on your states website and waiting to hear back from them.
https://www.cvs.com/immunizations/covid-19-vaccine CVS had an opening yesterday morning right by my house had I wanted. My friend and his wife got their first shots and no questions asked. It’s a shame that the elderly are waiting to here back from local government (depending on your state, mine is a shit show) |

24 hrs post injection, still slight bruised feeling at injection site , was a bit more noticeable last night but it's back to what It was right after injection . Some of the girls at work mentioned feeling somewhat itchy but overall shoulder tenderness is the main symptom.
all the LTC homes in town were vaccinated few weeks ago haven't heard any major issues . My wife mentioned last night she has seen a quite noticeable drop in a variety of illnesses this year due to lockdown/masks etc, Mono, strep, COPD exacerbations, influenza , pneumonias, coughs, colds. I don't remember the last time I saw a coughing infant or toddler come into work for a chest x-ray. Last edited by Monticore; 03-06-2021 at 08:57 AM.. |

Sounds like some of you better wear masks the rest of your life, counting on a piece of cloth, as opposed to your immune system.
