Those who got it, have mild symptoms and recovering at home, how do you eat? Is someone else dropping off the food outside your door? I can't imagine if you're by youself, how do you even cook/eat? You definitely cannot go outside.

The problem is each person reacts differently when they get the virus. If this infection doesn't cause hospitalization or simply just like a flu, then I can relate to that statement. Your coworker is lucky if he didn't experience any severe symptoms. Unfortunately, that's not necessary the case for others. My coworker's wife showed symptoms, and of course he tested positive too, but he did not show any symptoms.

I don’t leave my room and my son doesn’t leave his. Only for the bathroom. My girl somehow tested negative... twice. Sleeping in the same bed, kissing and hugging all on the kid and she didn’t catch it. She leaves the food by the door like I’m a prisoner or animal
and is taking care of all my needs for real.

Love these guys.
From an MD I trust and follow. Answering some of the most common objections to the vaccine.

I’m in undergrad for PT, but they make me wanna go the MD route because of the way they explain stuff. Makes it sound so much more interesting.
HOWEVER, years of strenuous residency and far more vigorous and expansive study material has me perfectly content with my lane

i hope somebody is keeping receipts.
we can give a pass to children but everybody else who is denying science, spreading disinformation, putting others at risk, etc. needs to be on a wall of shame for life.
this reminds me of that guy in the movie Contagion who was selling a fake cure. this isn't harmless. this is leading to deaths. this is prolonging and amplifying the misery of the pandemic. this is ruining lives.

Cuomo Warns Hospital Strain May Force Total Shutdown; NYC Indoor Dining on Brink
New York state is starting to see its daily COVID deaths climb along with an increase in hospitalizations. It reported its highest single-day fatality toll (80) in months Monday as Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered hospitals to boost bed capacity by 25 percent. If rates keep rising, indoor dining will...

“Even with a 95 percent vaccine efficacy rate, some people will get COVID despite getting vaccinated.”
what’s the point of talking the vaccine if you can possibly still get sick
also what ever happened to the nose nose spray vaccine ?
did it ever get to be tested ?

Vaccines don't work like that. You take vaccines so when you encounter the actual virus, your body is able to fight it off.

If you were playing russian roullette and could decrease your chance of getting shot from 1 in 6 to 1 in 120, you wouldn't take it?
also, in the case that you do get infected, it seems to reduce the severity of the illness. so in russian roullette it would mean pointing the gun at your head with 1 in 6 odds versus pointing it at your pinky toe with 1 in 120 odds.
and the bigger point isn't to protect yourself. the point of herd immunity is that, if enough people take the vaccine, the virus will eventually disappear. unlike now, where it's spreading and infecting more and more people. so it's like pointing the gun at your head with 1 in 6 odds and every day somebody brings you a new gun until you die versus pointing it at your pinky toe with 1 in 120 odds and after a couple weeks people run out of guns.

I've said this a million times over and people still don't understand it: you have a 95% chance of protecting yourself from COVID just by getting the vaccine, you have a 0% chance by not getting the vaccine; take your pick. If you're gonna refuse medical/surgical/pharmaceutical interventions because they're not 100% effective, you'd might as well throw all of modern medicine out the window.Cuomo Warns Hospital Strain May Force Total Shutdown; NYC Indoor Dining on Brink

I won't bother beating down on you with the concept of herd immunity since
whywesteppin
already beat me to it, but also factor in how this will impact the rate at which COVID will be transmitted to other people.

I take flu vaccine every year, and I still got sick. BUT, I believe if I don't take the vaccine, I could get worse from the flu. Im hoping the same for the covid's vaccine.
My local county is officially at 0% ICU capacity. as of today Yet, I still see full of people at the skate park, playground, school practice. My local hospital is also stretched out on nursing staffs. Soon, we, the non-clinical staffs, would have to help out at some capacity. Damn, Im freaking out.

We're now averaging 200,000 cases every day. 2200 Americans are dying every day. And neither number is showing signs of slowing. 3000 dying on Christmas is looking likely. But it's ok. I hope that ******* unseasoned dry turkey on Thanksgiving was worth it.

If it were up to me. ER people get it first and whoever is taking care of immunocompromised ppl.
The hospitals that were hardest hit during the first wave should take priority over other hospitals.
During the highest peak of the virus, my sister's hospital was covid central and my hospital really didn't get a lot of covid cases. Her hospital was a high patient turnover hospital and my hospital actually slowed down admissions during the spring peak

I'm mad that that usa didn't buy 100m additional doses of the pfizer vaccine
The USA has bought 800 mil doses from 6 different manufacturers....but we don't even know if the remaining 3 vaccines will even work

To be fair, we didn’t know if any of them would work until a few weeks ago so it’s not unreasonable to diversify. Do you have the figures on which ones were pre-purchased?
