    My money is on the vaccine preventing spread like every other vaccine in history. The media is acting irresponsibly here. They hear a scientist say "right now we don't have enough data to decisively conclude that the vaccine prevents spread", and the headline is "Covid vaccine doesn't prevent spread zomg". Dumb.

    Where are you seeing that? Everything I've read says that immunity essentially has lasted the entire time window that we have data on - ~8 months at least. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/health/coronavirus-immunity.html How long might immunity to the coronavirus last? Years, maybe even decades, according to a new study — the most hopeful answer yet to a question that has shadowed plans for widespread vaccination. Eight months after infection, most people who have recovered still have enough immune cells to fend off the virus and prevent illness, the new data show. A slow rate of decline in the short term suggests, happily, that these cells may persist in the body for a very, very long time to come. Lots more out there showing the same findings.

    25 mill confirmed here. The consensus in the scientific community is 2-5x that worth of unconfirmed and asymptomatic cases. So 75mm to 150mm total real cases.

    I get that you never count Brady out. But you also don't bet against Mahomes. He has proven to be clutch himself, and he's too young, confident, and accomplished to be intimidated by Brady. KC in a walk imo.

    If they fared better than the US then their data is fabricated and he doesn't trust it.

    That's incredible.

    19 minutes is not "instantaneous" (ETA I see bruin already responded as well) It's like you guys just aren't capable of this discussion without being dishonest.

    Literally just making shit up

    Cases on the day they issued stay at home orders on the way up: 21,846 Cases on the day they rescinded the order, as cases are plummeting: 21,680 The day they rescinded the order was literally the day where cases dipped below the number of cases on the day they made the order. I mean or it could be the conspiracy theory you got on your Qanon forum. Shrug. Who even knows.

    No, I didn't miss anything. That's not irony. The fact that deaths are a lagging indicator is why it's not the correct metric to use for re-opening. You're showing your lack of understanding of what the word means, which is why I said you didn't understand it the first time. And it's still obvious you don't. Deaths have never been a criteria for states reopening exactly because they're lagging. Deaths reflect case transmission from 2-3 weeks ago. Only a stupid person would think our government should make day-to-day decisions based off of three week old information. I don't agree with not revealing the metrics for re-opening. But people who think they understand data and numbers but actually don't are probably the reason he's not, and you're certainly a case study supporting his decision.

    Trends. How do they even work? But I don't expect a guy who admitted on the previous page that he doesn't understand what a lagging indicator is to really grasp the concept of trends. "Open up and it could start raging again because the virus knows no calendar it only knows masks and lockdowns. I know you hate it when the hypocrisy from your little heroes slaps you in the face. continue on with farce." You should do yourself a favor and search for any posts I've made on Gavin Newsome. I strongly dislike him and I think he should have been recalled after getting caught violating his own order. I dislike him almost as much as I dislike morons who shit up every conversation that they don't have the intellectual depth for, trying to make it look more like their Facebook (or Parler) feed so they don't feel uncomfortable.

    But please, go on. I know you're emotional about the election and need an outlet. I'm sorry your guy lost.
  13. BradInATX
    I figured that was tongue in cheek, not an admission that you were unable or unwilling to enforce the "no politics on the DT" rule you brought up for the first nine months of the pandemic. My bad. Is the entire DT now open for political discussion? Or just threads marked "featuring lots of politics"?
  14. BradInATX
    I don't think anyone is asking for a meta thread, mac. I think the majority of this thread would just like to see the politics removed from the thread or moved to the CR where they belong. Unless the goals have changed and you've just given up on containing the CR'ing of the DT. In which case that's fine, but should probably be explicitly stated so that everyone understands the rules.

    I'd like to be able to visit it for news and information without having to scroll through a half page of posts putting forward conspiracy theories that states are opening up because Trump lost the election. I'd like to not see that TexAgs nonsense on a Longhorn board. That would be a start.
  16. BradInATX
    LOL at reporting that post. Someone's sensitive.
  17. BradInATX
    It shouldn't be that way, though. We should be able to have a Covid discussion without the same five people turning it political every three pages. There is literally only one rule on the Daily Texan, and the same handful of people still manage to not be able to follow it. Over and over and over. It's the same people every single time. Everyone knows exactly who they are. On the bright side there are a couple of other Covid threads on the DT that they haven't managed to shit up. Yet.
  18. BradInATX
    If you want to talk politics you'll have to nut up and do it somewhere where your terrible hot takes can be called out. Sorry you're upset about losing your safe space.

    @immamac @blacklab just move this thread to the Cloak Room where it belongs.

    A small portion of them would only have the first vaccine, but the majority would have both. I didn't go to that level of detail so can't give exact numbers, but it'd be whatever the 2 week lag represents
  23. BradInATX
    Yeah, I thought the same thing when I saw that number. She's coming up!

    Also, viruses typically mutate into more transmissible, less deadly strains.

    Think it's $70k annually for council members. But that's not accounting for the grift she's inevitably running.
