  1. 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."
  2. 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.
  3. Black Pumas
  4. First you make a roux
  5. The mob hasn't been to our home games vs rice in a while. Seems like the rice game has been when we have the alumni band come.
  6. I've been surprised at our turn outs for the first two games. I thought for sure a 100 degree game 1 at 3pm would keep people away. I was wrong. And again, I thought the arkie loss would keep people at home. Wrong again. There were definitely empty patches around the stadium, but I was expecting much fewer fans in seats.
  7. Hey Brazil, On Austin's surveillance dashboard, they have a map that shows zip codes with the highest counts in the past 7, 14 and 21 days. (Spoiler, it's always Pflugerville) In your reporting to us, are you able to find that dataset of positives by zip?
  8. Bring back cash as a way to pay for things.
  9. Isn't the upper deck right above the students also a student section? That was completely empty for most of the game. Likely because they were all jammed into the lower section, which I understand.
  10. There going to be a flyover tomorrow? The little graphic on texassports.com makes it seem like the blue angels are going to fly out of Hook Em
  11. Ok, based on that answer, only the olds or the immunocompromised should be getting boosters?
  12. NPR? I don't think they joke much.
  13. Are we seeing a bunch of vaccinated folks from 8 (or 6, or possibly 5) months ago hit the hospital?
  14. Well, what's the CDC say?
  15. Ok, but I keep seeing this type of stuff from my twittersphere as to why we don't necessarily need boosters. I need more cartoons to tell me what's correct. How Long Does Immunity To COVID-19 Last? : Goats and Soda : NPR
  16. What's the reasoning for boosters at this point?
  17. Hold up... He beat Maryland? Jury's still out imo
  18. And that, my friends, is how you get around a "no mask mandates mandate".
  19. A visual of this thread. I'm guessing our post count by day is a lagging indicator of where Texas is. Our posts by day in this thread show we've peaked.
  20. Aren't we coming up on open enrollment season for most employer provided health plans? Seems like a ripe opportunity to, ahem, encourage folks with varying premium options depending on your vaccination status...
  21. If the child didn't start showing symptoms until Sunday night, wouldn't that mean no one else in the class needs to quarantine?
  22. Probably because the sick kid wasn't in class yesterday, but was on Friday? No need to test until symptoms present. And even then it's supposed to be a couple days later. If you test now, you'll probably just get a negative.
  23. I'll do what I can to track AISD daily changes. Give me a day or so to set it up.
  24. There's two groups, the anti-vax and the for-some-reason-still-not-YET-vaxxed. This is two month old polling from the CDC, but the split in those two groups were 20% each. 60% of Texans were already vaccinated at the time of the polling. 20% of the "not yet" group is a lot and that's who we need to focus our efforts on. Calling them fucking morons probably won't work. We're quick to assume that those who have not yet gotten the vaccine is "an Other" or our political enemy, but the reality is there are 20% who are just on their own timetable for some reason. Many of those are our neighbors, teachers, parents and college kids. We need more free HEB Gift Cards, Astros tickets, & squish balls and fewer Passports and "Keys to the City"
