no coronavirus thread ?

Is it possible for you to test for antibodies?

[xer0s]

More than likely the antibodies wouldn’t be there 9 months later...

yeah... and nobody as far as I've heard really has yet said something nailing that question... It does bother me with the vaccine-question.

Pump those numbers

remember when the 1m milestone was noteworthy?

a happier time, all made of unicorns and lollipops and cotton candy, not like the dark times of now

[Κracus]

Hahah... you think we're in dark times. Oh this is just dusk. Dark times is when the healthcare system begins to fail and you die because you do something stupid that's perfectly curable but can't get access to healthcare.

Lots of americans already live in that situation thanks to their backwards healthcare system.

[Κracus]

I don't feel sorry for them. Most Americans I speak to on the subject think their healthcare system is perfect and that ours (Canada) is the real problem. All while their loved ones are dying from preventable diseases or going bankrupt for life saving drugs that cost pharmaceutical companies pennies to make. They vote for these shit cakes and support them because they grew up with a particular political brand and stick by that brand even when it's abusing the fuck out of them. Trying to convince them that they're wrong doesn't work so let them have their cake and eat it too.

I'd feel bad if most of the ones I've spoken to didn't sound exactly like gwamps. If I was an American and wasn't completely braindead I'd move out of that shithole country.

Here's a cool website that shows how we're all going to die. The different color represent the different mutations of covid I believe. I'm sure one of them will have a 99% fatality rate or some shit at some point.

uhhhh...

looks like there's still some work to do

[Transient]

Fortunately it's not the only vaccine in the works. I think Moderna has another one that doesn't need to be kept at such low temperatures, making it easier to distribute.

[seremtan]

had the flu jab today. easy peasy. hope the covid vaccine is this uneventful

[xer0s]

Yeah, I got mine a month or so back. Was driving by the hospital and there was a big sign out front that said “Flu Shots”. I whipped in there and they had a drive through. Rolled my window down and they stuck me. No charge. 10 seconds, in and out...

[seremtan]

i had to fill in an online form, then an actual paper form once i got in. with a pen. like in the olden days :dts:

[Captain]

Our work does a flu clinic at the office every year, but since we're all WFH this year, they branded a party van and sent a mobile clinic out to everyone's home so you and your spouse could get the shot.

It's nice to work for a company that cares about the health of its people.

Not sure I'd trust a flu shot from a place that spelled it 'flue'. Might wanna make sure you don't have hep c now. :tard:

[Eraser]

Still, I'd prefer that method of delivery above getting it through getting bumfucked by Geoff.

lol, my thumb typing has become super sloppy. I’ve gotten to where I don’t even double check my text. Not a good habit...

[Transient]

It's better than meticulously checking and re-checking each post before submitting it, like I do.

nice ditto on the flu clinic, but this year all we got was a voucher
