dani negreanu Posted January 13, 2021 Author #5651 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) While we're on the subject of news about this cunning virus... The biggest health provider (more than 1.500.000 members) has followed a huge population of more than 60 years -- 200.000 who got their 1st jab more than 3 weeks ago (in blue), and a similar control group of 200.000 who are still to be vaccinated (in red). As you can see, until day 12 after the vaccination, there is no difference between catching the virus between the 2 groups. The change starts on day 13, and on day 14 the BIG change starts -- there is a drop of catching the virus -- 33% difference in favor of those vaccinated !!! @Milwaukee Eight, @A&L_Ont, @Ocean Boy, @lenquixote66 Edited January 13, 2021 by dani negreanu 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping he is doing better today. The worst is not being able to be in hospital with him. You are both in our thoughts and prayers. He is doing much better, blood pressure is good. We finally got vaccine appointments for the 20th, so hope that goes well. Thanks for your good wishes, I know you understand.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted January 13, 2021 #5656 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) With the vaccines coming out now, we are on the right track...but I won't even consider traveling anywhere until well after I get both shots. Not worth it. And really wish others had listened to the CDC about not traveling. Our numbers are really up there now in horrible record numbers with so many that traveled during the holidays. I really feel for the overworked, understaffed medical providers. It must be so frustrating for them to see so many ignoring the guidelines...and of course those people then show up at the hospital after they didn't heed the warnings. Very sad.

And those ignoring the simple protocol suggestions will be the first to whine when they become sick! And we all get to pay for their ignorance in one way or another. No matter where we live. Numbers are crazy high here also. Hang in there. No idea when we'll be getting our shots. Hurry up and wait. Ready, willing and able. 😷 Edited January 13, 2021 by davekathy 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the story of practicing medicine in general. It is much like the myriad of medical issues that can be avoided or attenuated by acting on the advice one's doctor gives. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted January 13, 2021 #5669 Share Posted January 13, 2021 23 minutes ago, Ocean Boy said: How did he like flying the 787? He loves it. He's a little disappointed right now since after training they're supposed to fly 100 hours in 4 months. He didn't make it since there is so little flying right now. There are other pilots down here in the same boat since the 787's are new to Miami. He needs 36 more hours. He had to go to Dallas yesterday to do another sim with a landing since he was short on hours. Normally he would fly 80 - 90 hours a month pre-covid. Having him home constantly since March 31 except for his traing time in Dallas has been very nice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When our son was a FA for a fixed contract of 5 years, we tried to do all the far away cruises in this limited time, in order to take advantage of the reduced fares. We're very excited to try the new 787's business class for a flight Tel-Aviv - Hong Kong. Very disappointed -- narrow seats, you feel like being in a tunnel. For a TLV-London flight, we tried the prime economy, and they were the best. The food was so-so on both classes. Our son told us that for the crew, the 787 is excellent. For passengers, the PE is the most comfortable and value for money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted January 14, 2021 #5675 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) So the temps started warming up yesterday afternoon and snow turned to rain overnight and by midday today it had warmed up by 20 degrees Fahrenheit and much of the snow had washed away. I wrapped up work early today and went for nice walk. The sun broke through the clouds at times and it was an absolutely beautiful day. About a mile from my temporary home here I have a great view of the lake. Then I stumbled across these fellas. The first one was either hearing impaired or one of the bravest little does you'll ever come across. She let me get with in 10-12 feet of her until she took off to join the rest of the gang about 25 feet away up a little hill on the edge of the park. Not a bad lockdown day, all things considered.
