I'm not usually motivated to hop on this kind of thing ... but as you realize, Israeli COVID reporting has been pretty abysmal. I don't know if it's their popular press pumping up everything on the merest wisp of positive data or what -- but if half the stuff Israel was supposed to have developed actually panned out, the pandemic would've lasted about three months.
I know! They had at least 10-12 of these from Israel in the first few months. If this were a story in the US I would think it was motivated by the clickbait mentality of our press. There it's more like a PR campaign.
Migraines can cause vomiting, sorry to hear your son has them.My father in Los Angeles and his wife got their 1st dose on Wednesday. My mother in law got hers today.
My son (7 years old) was vomiting last night and had a big headache. He has had headaches for the last few months. His exposure is pretty low since he and his twin sister are 100% virtual. He has a COVID test tomorrow. I'd be very surprised if it comes back positive. More likely, he's got migraine headaches and maybe a stomach bug.
Migraines suck. I hope it is more like a stomach bug that is giving him headaches. GL.
And this morning they woke up with low grade fevers. They slept in my room last night so I could deal with the vomiting (parenting is so cool). My wife slept in the den since it was "my turn".
I also found out today that my stepmother (age 77) got her first shot a few days ago.
The best part of this pandemic is kids avoiding getting sick and bringing it home. What happened?!
1. #%%* that! To not have the communication between the person giving the shots and the person restricting access. I’ve had to get rid of around a dozen doses in a short period of time and that was stressful. I can’t imagine having 200 doses and someone blocking the long line.
Saying they were reserved for law enforcement doesn't mean the same as first responders.
No freakin' clue. Like I said, they have a nanny that takes care of them during the day, makes their lunch, etc. Maybe something she made that they ate? It seems to have passed thankfully and neither I nor my wife have gotten ill.
Cal State Northridge isn't a hospital, it's a state university. I bet the county is using it as a mass vaccinate site.
I used to live right across the street from the CSUN sculpture (that is now a center for the arts). My old house is now a Papa Johns. Crazy to look at it on google earth.

I would love to be vaccinated by April or May. Unlike every other FBG, I don’t have the connections to figure out a way to get one early.
Well seeing as it has been a consistent downward trajectory since peak, thats a good thing. Almost 2300 at peak. Less than 600 now.
Thanks - wasn’t being an ###. Seriously just don’t have the stats memorized for WI. Figured it was good news. Glad to see my home state improving.
At some point, it's a numbers game. At current pace, we're at 100 million vaccinated by mid-March. It seemed like, say, a month ago, the popular press was assuming the then-current pace of vaccinations was the U.S. vaccination effort at full throttle. It was clearly not, and frankly that should have been more widely recognized in the popular press at the time. Instead, we got sensationalist articles about how most Americans wouldn't get vaccines until the summer and fall.
Here's one recent stab at answering this question (not specifically for NYC, though):
I think the CDC has done a terrible job of messaging on the fomite issue. It is not the main way this disease is transmitted, but there is a very tiny risk of fomite infection, so they won't come out and proclaim loudly "you don't need to be sanitizing everything anymore, we overstated that risk. Just don't be around people not in your household indoors for more than five minutes at a time and you'll be fine." The risk is tiny but they don't want people to stop being careful.
A thousand times this. IMHO, it's much closer to true to say "It straight-up cannot spread via fomites" than it is to say "Fomites are a COVID risk". But as you point out ... having a slight risk makes scientists uncomfortable with writing off fomites altogether.
I honestly cant think of another way to explain what happened in the midwest numbers started going down hard when everybody predicted they would go up. Only explanation I can come up with is burn out.
I was heartened to hear Joe Biden in a weekend interview make improved ventilation the second condition of schools re-opening safely. Others may have heard the interview, and CNN has been playing clips of it this morning. Let me see if I can get a link for the house.
I remember I used to bring a small thing of hand sanitizer with me to the store. When I was done shopping, I would clean my hands before touching my car keys. Now I just wash my hands when I get home. I remember people in here baking their mail, wiping down groceries, and re-heating their pizza delivery. I hope nobody is doing that anymore.
I can't remember if I posted it here or on another board ... but if I posted it here before, my apologies for repeating it:
