Rename it, but Mexico has slightly more. 1631mi vs 1743mi

re: Best resort you have stayed at in the Caribbean with best walk in snorkeling?

Posted by Clarence_Beeks on 12/28/23 at 4:31 pm

Secret Harbor in St. Thomas has great walk in snorkeling, as well as an onsite dive shop. You can also day trip over to St. John and snorkel off a few different beaches. Trunk Bay has a snorkeling trail.

re: Ireland Has Massive New COVID Outbreak Despite 91% Vaccination Rate

Posted by Clarence_Beeks on 10/28/21 at 8:54 pm

To put it in perspective, they have around 500 hospitalized patients and less than 100 patients in the ICU for the whole country. That’s there “surge”. My hospital alone had more than that just a few weeks ago. I don’t think that really qualifies as “massive”.

re: Pfizer efficacy down to 42% while FDA standard for safe/effective/approval is 50%

Facts schmacts

From the article he screenshotted:

The mRNA vaccine from Pfizer (PFE.N) and BioNTech (22UAy.DE) may be less effective than Moderna's against the Delta variant of the coronavirus, according to two reports posted on medRxiv on Sunday ahead of peer review. In a study of more than 50,000 patients in the Mayo Clinic Health System, researchers found the effectiveness of Moderna's vaccine against infection had dropped to 76% in July - when the Delta variant was predominant - from 86% in early 2021. Over the same period, the effectiveness of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had fallen to 42% from 76%, researchers said. While both vaccines remain effective at preventing COVID hospitalization, a Moderna booster shot may be necessary soon for anyone who got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines earlier this year, said Dr. Venky Soundararajan of Massachusetts data analytics company nference, who led the Mayo study.

does anyone have the real stats of covid compared to last year?

isn't way off from peaks last year?

I work at a large hospital system in Houston. We haven't quite reached the peak we did last fall, but its quickly approaching, and we're getting there much, much faster than we did before. This one is bad. We've been in the trenches fighting this through 3 waves now, and we have a magic bullet. The patients we're seeing now are the unvaccinated, and its frustrating that they haven't taken advantage of this breakthrough.

For reference, the peak number of patients hospitalized in our hospitals during the fall, was around 750. We're at 650 now, and our data models show we'll be passing 1000 soon. This is different.

If you look at the entirety of the pandemic, NY will have a higher rate. They were hit with the first surge early on. There were no treatments available. Remedisvir and Monoclonal Antibody treatments were not available. The science has progressed. They are now doing much better than other states. If you look at the death rate over the last 7 days, that has changed.

re: Legal Recourse for Employer Vaccine Requirement

Also, I don't see what legal right they have to mandate a "vaccine" that is not only not fda approved, but also doesn't prevent infections or transmission. What exactly is the end game for the employer?

It is very effective at preventing severe illness and death. That's the endgame for employers. Continue to make money, have people in the office, while significantly reducing their chances of severe illness and death.

Perhaps for my next thread.

Hate to admit it, but the hit was fine. It was just incredibly unlucky. He took Ndamukong Suh obliterating his body in the Big 12 championship game, then a weak arse hit --just in the right place-- took him out.

But if he survives this hit, it changes everything.

hard to limit an offense if you can't hold the ball or score at all.

Texas allowed the Alabama Dynasty to start

Posted by Clarence_Beeks on 7/26/21 at 7:03 pm

Since the announcement, I decided to rewatch the 2009 BCS game. From the beginning Texas had all the momentum. Saban was even chucking fake punt passes for interceptions from his own redzone before the injury. If Colt hadn't gotten hurt, I don't think this dynasty gets off the ground. It was like the 2019 Iron Bowl. Surely Alabama beats Auburn with Tua, but Mac had to sub in with no prep and couldn't manage it. 2009 had much larger stakes, and got us to where we are today. This event altered the trajectory of the entire conference.
