But for an individual person, you probably technically want Pfizer or Moderna based on preliminary efficacy rates. |

Edit: DaFace said pretty much the same thing. It's also worth noting that since J&J is using a different delivery system, we'll get a good look at an alternative approach. Last edited by Indian Chief; 12-21-2020 at 11:38 AM.. |

I've read one theory that the flu 'migrates' between hemispheres as the seasons change.... and so the theory is interesting in that if southern hemisphere countries are having a better time fighting Covid with mask usage and what not, plus the lack of international travel, then the flu doesn't 'migrate' back as it turns to summer there and winter here. Plus more people getting flu shots, etc. And I'm sure there's all kinds of math with only needing a certain percentage of mask usage, etc; versus a virus that's 3 times less likely to spread than Covid... so in some sense, it could actually make sense that say 20% mask usage helps the spread of a virus that doesn't spread relatively well, but not hitting say 40% mask usage is causing Covid to continue to spread since it's that much more contagious. And of course Covid never 'left', so as people have talked about a tipping point in exponential growth with Covid, we hit that mark months ago... while perhaps just a small percentage of help with masks and social distancing and lack of travel, etc; has helped hold the curve down on the flu ramping up and relatively starting from scratch. And I'm of course not arguing "facts" or anything, just made me curious enough to wonder how that could be true even if on the surface it sounds funny. Quote:

Looks like more states have begun updating their vaccine data. And for some reason, Colorado has put more needles into shoulders than Texas: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/u...accine-tracker |

Here's where you show your ignorance. He obviously wasn't in excellent shape. His body might have looked good. He likely had some arterial narrowing or clogging, or some form of cardiomyopathy or ventricular thickening, enlarged heart, any number of genetic syndromes (Marfans) that you'd never know about and he likely wouldn't either. Healthy hearts don't just stop. Otherwise they weren't healthy. Hell, you could have some of the same issues if he was your cousin. They might find you tits up underneath a ladder with a can full of paint all over your face and say you died of fear of heights. I mean, you are healthy right?

It's going to be much harder for the flu to travel with substantial reduction in travel abroad. Combined with the fact that it is significantly less transmissible than COVID (1.3^10 is 13.8 infections for the flu vs 2.4^10 is 6340 infections for COVID) and you are going to see a virtually non-existent flu season if patterns hold.
