COVID-19 Discussion

Transportation/logistics is going to be a nightmare for this vaccine as it has to be delivered in extreme cold conditions, we're talking much colder than a freezer truck apparently. It's probably going to entail folks waiting in line at special distribution centers worldwide. This was the theory I got my Dad, a former CDC chief who worked on the National Vaccines for Children program in the 90s. I've also heard there is an effort to produce the vaccine in powdered form, which would solve a lot of issues.

At least the Moderna vaccine only needs to be -20C/ -4F. That's much more doable! At least up here in igloo country.

The Phizer vaccine has to be stored at extreme cold temperatures (-70C or something crazy like that). The Moderna vaccine can be frozen for extended periods, and is stable at refrigerator temperatures for up to 30 days.

Dirk...as soon as you get your shot and report back here, I'll be ready to get mine.

Anyone in healthcare will probably be fast tracked so I'll let you know for sure.

Looking forward to life returning to normal.

I finally finished my Ph.D. last December and got a good paying job, so I was excited for "the summer of George" where I could finally relax and enjoy life a bit. And here we are.



Maybe next summer?

Could be worse, at least your not in Portland. Lol

Let me know how the vaccine goes, and I'll wait another 10 years and probably still not get it. Never had a flu shot although I have been vaccinated against the pox of chickens.

[7milesout]

I ain't done never had me no flu shot neither. I haven't have the flu in a hunerd years. I'd rather get the flu every 25 years, than a little bit of the flu every year.

Is it too soon for COVID satire?

Local Man Petrified of Vaccine Tells Everyone to “Stop Living in Fear”

TORONTO, ON

Local anti-vaxxer, Mr. Miller of Toronto, has a message for everyone on his Facebook feed: “Stop living in fear!”

Miller, who is absolutely terrified of what might happen if he ever might get a vaccine, thinks everyone who believes in the existence of the coronavirus is a “sheeple” and is living in fear.

“Think for yourself! Don’t just believe what the government and George Soros tell you,” said Miller in a recent Facebook post. “Instead, believe whatever’s in this video I just clicked on on YouTube!”

Miller is losing sleep at night thinking about what the government and Bill Gates might try to do us, but thinks it’s everyone else who’s living in fear.

“You’ve got it all wrong! I’m not a fearful man,” said Miller, holed up in deep dark room in his mother’s basement. “I’m simply using my critical thinking skills and standing up for my rights that I’m very scared–I mean “concerned”– are being stripped away from us one by one. It’s everyone else who is fearful! I’m the brave one!”

Miller says you’d have be an “absolute sucker” to trust one of those government vaccines and is also really scared that the Daily Bonnet might be in on it, too.
