      I think the arm pain complaint may have been a reference to Covid vaccines. Alabama had a strong vaccine rollout and was ahead of the game for short while. Also notice in April there was a lot more contact between the cast members and seldom any reference to infection control?
      And please everyone, get vaccinated. I got my second Pfizer-Biontec shot from a National Guard nurse at the FEMA drive thru site in Houston back at the beginning of May. You can get shots literally everywhere with no wait now. Walmart has shots and nobody taking them. And get your kids vaccinated too. Let's crush this virus like proud Americans. I fear that if we hover around 50-60% vaccination the US may become the breeding ground of a resistant strain. Let's get close to 80% of adults and crush this. Victory is within our grasp.

      @@jessiep2471 Yes, and that's why I think 80% of adults is a reasonable goal along with an increasing number of kids as dosage rules are worked out. This leaves one in five able to claim reasonable exemption for medical reasons. What I fear is with half the nation fully vaccinated, and half not, the small percentage of low-grade infections in the vaccinated population will be a breeding ground for new strains.
      That's why we need to get to 70-80% of adults and a good chunk of teens, and later on, children. We need to get the "r" value around or under one. Every extra 1% helps.

      @Bacopa68 3 роки тому +1

      @@NoThankUBeQuiet Yes, a target of 80% of people over sixteen is probably what we need to hold national Covid deaths to a hundred or so a day or even lower. This will hold r values around one or so. Eighty percent seems like a lot but it allows all the folks who have a legit medical claim an out.
