    That picture was taken by, you guessed it, Russell Lee.

    We showed up to my 10 year olds well check last year and they said he needed to get his second MMR vaccine again. Our kids get a flu shot or flu mist every year and apparently when he got his second MMR shot at age 4-ish, the flu mist he got a few weeks prior had "invalidated" the second MMR shot. They only recently caught it because they had changed over to online medical records and it got flagged in the system Your MIL's cardiologist might be wrong, but I had a somewhat similar situation that I also thought was stupid at the time, but there might be some validity to it.

    Here's the verbiage from the county judge that allowed the mask mandate to get reinstated in Travis county. I'm highly skeptical they will keep to the criteria they originally laid out because "what we're doing is working!"

    That gives me an idea... How can I invest in Thomas J Henry billboards?

    I took my 11 year old to his first OU game yesterday. This was my 30th. Concession lines were nuts, but I had my fill of 3 ticket beer earlier. Would've loved a working water fountain to refill my 2 ticket water bottle. It was hot. Going to the dungeon restroom was probably our best chance at catching covid in the last 19 months. ... but of course I'll be back next year, because it's fucking perfect. (unless I die of the covid I caught in the humid ass restroom)

    Looking like October 26th might be a key day for kid approval. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-hold-advisory-committee-meetings-discuss-emergency-use-authorization-booster-doses-and-covid-19 .

    The SEC will need more officials. Maybe they're wanting to get hired by the SEC and so they don't want tape of their bs floating out there? Who am I kidding, we're still going to get screwed.

    Have any of the school districts with mask mandates said what the offramps are for eliminating their mask mandates? "We'll eliminate the mandate when we reach 75% vax rate in the school district or two weeks without a positive case in a school's zip code" Wouldn't that avoid the circus of doofuses (doofii?) We're arguing about stupid shit when we could tie actual metrics to things that people want. "If you eat five more green beans you can have dessert" works pretty well with my kids.

    Yeah, and I think using Arizona's definition, that would count as only one "outbreak" despite the fact that it took out half a grade. It's all fun with numbers.
  19. smoky
    Eh, an alternative headline from that AZ dataset could be "Over 75% of schools without a mask requirement did not record a single covid outbreak over a six week period, even as cases rose in the community" It's all lies, damned lies and statistics.
  20. smoky
    That study should be easy to repeat and should be repeated now that cases are going down. If that 3.5x is true, we should see it again assuming no major policy changes. Because the definition of "school outbreak" is shaky, the question should be "is a kid safer at school (mask or no mask) than out in public?" You'd really need to be diligent about contact tracing though and compare against community case rates. We don't do that.

    Was it Joe Roberts, the sargeant out of Perrineville Barracks Number 8? He's been known to look the other way.

    So basically it's "get a booster if you want" somewhere around 5, 6 or 8 months from your second dose, depending on who you ask. And if you don't want a booster, you're also probably fine against severe illness.

    A co-worker of mine's wife is a teacher there. I don't know the answer to that question Yeah, I tried looking it up. That's a no man's land of data. Best I could find was from the Tyler Telegraph: "In one week, the rate of community spread of COVID-19 in Smith County has decreased by more than 37%, the Northeast Texas Public Health District reported Thursday."

    What's the chapel hill area covid slope look like? If was going up and kids cases are going down, now that'd be something. But more likely is the school district trend followed the gen pop.
