Good news.

Brazilian Mutation now in the US. Is each country going to have their own? I’m sure there are multiple mutations of this virus already in the states already that we don’t even know about. I have a bachelors in Biology. I remember learning about it, but I was probably hungover at the time.

This from a man that went to his Friday afternoon computer class quiz every week making sure he deeply inhaled more than a few times prior to class.

Remember one time sitting there thinking, "If I was a computer how would I calculate this?" Somehow I aced the class, it's a miracle that I even remember I took the class...

Fashion Statement aside - is this really any more effective?

I remember heading to my genetics class in such bad shape. I threw up in a planter on the second floor of the science wing before I made it into the classroom.

PS i was pretty skinny back then

Yes, more is better. I double mask when I go into relative confined areas. Reminds me of the old joke about why Valley Girls use 2 diaphragms? To be "For sure, for sure!"

Very heartening, people who can actually think on their feet!!

[HEADING=2]Health Workers, Stuck in the Snow, Administer Coronavirus Vaccine to Stranded Drivers[/HEADING]
Public health workers in Josephine County, Ore., said they had walked from car to car, giving shots to drivers with vaccine doses that would expire in six hours.

The public health workers were driving back from a vaccination site in rural Cave Junction, Ore., on Tuesday when they got stuck in a snowstorm on the highway.

They knew they had only six hours to get the remaining doses of coronavirus vaccine back to people who were waiting for their shots in Grants Pass, roughly 30 miles away. Normally, the trip takes about 45 minutes.

But with a jackknifed tractor-trailer ahead of them, the crew realized they could be stuck for hours and the doses would expire.

So the workers made the decision to walk from car to car asking stranded drivers if they wanted to be vaccinated, right there on the spot.

“We had one individual who was so happy, he took his shirt off and jumped out of the car,” said Michael Weber, the public health director in Josephine County, Ore.

Another recipient, he said, was a Josephine County Sheriff’s Office employee who had arrived too late for the clinic in Cave Junction but ended up stuck with the others on her way back to Grants Pass.

Most drivers laughed at the offer of a [roadside coronavirus vaccine]('https://www.facebook.com/JosephineCountyPublicHealth/posts/10158623446629279') and politely declined, even though Mr. Weber said he had a doctor and an ambulance crew on hand to help oversee the operation. He acknowledged it was not the typical setting for a vaccination.

“It was a strange conversation,” Mr. Weber said. “Imagine yourself stranded on the side of the road in a snowstorm and having someone walk up and say: ‘Hey. Would you like a shot in the arm?’”

Still, Mr. Weber said the public health workers had administered all six doses of the Moderna vaccine to six grateful drivers.

Mr. Weber called it “one of the coolest operations” he had ever been a part of and said it had been an easy decision to administer the shots on the highway.

“Honestly, once we knew we weren’t going to be back in town in time to use the vaccine, it was just the obvious choice,” he said. “Our No. 1 rule right now is nothing gets wasted.”
