  - Or I could be a pendant, but I'd hardly fit. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 09:47

      - 1/2 - decline Aug 9, 09:36 2

        By Neneh Cherry? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 9, 08:59 4

        It should surprise none of you that I have this song on my iPod. I definitely had a thing for her. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 9, 09:27
        
        Yeah, that looks familiar. Yikes. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 08:57
There are two hospital systems in my parents' area: LeeHealth and NCH. LeeHealth (the larger of two I think) has put out numbers during the pandemic - ty97 Aug 9, 08:47 16
- Yikes. I do think the breakthrough numbers are higher than we were lead to believe. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 9, 08:59 11
  - There was a study on Delta released recently that said 50-60% effectiveness for vaccine (forget which one) -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:02 9
    - and if vacccines just reduce symptoms, there could be a lot of people who are out and about, contagious, with "I just have a headache" as symptom. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 9, 09:13 3
      - yeah, the fact that (it appears) vaccinated people can spread Delta has me mask-happy indoors again -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:22 2
        
        *infected* vaccinated people - oblique Aug 9, 09:23 1
        
        oh of course, the vaccinated people would need to themselves be infected. - ty97 Aug 9, 09:34
    - UK study -- nm - Epiphany Aug 9, 09:04
    - Couple this with the roughly 6% per 2 months effectiveness drop of the vaccine also. The longer this drags, the more we will see vaccination be less - oblique Aug 9, 09:03 3
      - I had no heard about this. Why did no one tell about this? - sycor Aug 9, 09:12 1
        
        We are over a year now from the first trial recipients. Even if we accept that this is an annual vaccine, we are already at the point - oblique Aug 9, 09:21
      - some countries (Israel, etc) are already giving third shot/boosters to seniors who got their first shots 6 months or more ago. -- nm* - Andie Aug 9, 09:06
  - Something to keep in mind, as a higher % of people become vaccinated, the % of people in hospitals who have been vaccinated will also rise - oblique Aug 9, 09:02
- it would be interesting to know the ages of those hospitalized and fully vaccinated. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 9, 08:49 3
  - My parents region skews older than average, for sure. -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:01
  - Given the location I’m going to guess they’re older and have underlying conditions. -- nm - spamlet Aug 9, 09:00 1
    - yes exactly. under 4% still. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 9, 09:03
The NHL's Florida Panthers just signed a...quarterback? -- (link) - David Aug 9, 08:36 8

  - TE -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 09:18

- They’re paying him to appear at games, not to play. -- nm - spamlet Aug 9, 08:38 2
  - Way to ruin it by explaining! -- nm - David Aug 9, 08:39 1
    - I thought it was an honest question! -- nm - spamlet Aug 9, 08:46
