CDC: Yes, for the collective.
ME: How does the collective benefit from me getting poked?
CDC: Because you could spread the virus to someone else who might get sick and die.
ME: Can a poked person spread the virus to someone else?
CDC: Yes.
ME: So if I get poked, I could still spread the virus to someone else?
CDC: Yes.
ME: But I thought you just said, the REASON I should get poked was to prevent me spreading the virus? How does that make sense if I can still catch Covid and spread it after getting the poke?

Conspiracy theories aside, can someone respond to this part of the post.

I'm pro vaccines in general, but I'm not sold on getting the covid vaccine yet.

From what I can tell, given you can still catch and pass on covid, there doesn't appear to be a benefit to society overall of getting the vaccine.
(other than perhaps the argument that I am less likely to take up a hospital bed as I'm less likely to get seriously ill).

You are much less likely to catch covid after getting vaccinated.

Not 100% less likely, but 80 or 90 percent less likely (last time i looked at the data)

That important fact has been glossed over by the anti vaccers. No vaccine for anything in the world gives 100% guarantee that you wont catch whatever its targeted at. They just give a massive boost to your chances of not getting it.

They also usually give you a better chance of fighting it off. Less time you have it (if you do still manage to catch it) less time for you to spread it around.

Have they had today's presser yet?

Yes restrictions lift for Thursday

basically Denisty limits are lifting, still require masks

Spurrier speaking now on the AFL game this week

Will crowds be allowed at SANFL games? I've already purchased 3 tickets to the Presidents Group lunch this week.

Not by the sounds of it

Good luck keeping people away from local games where there is no fencing

Oh well, at least there's a gym that overlooks Prospect Oval.

After 1 Pfizer you're something like 60% less likely to be hospitalised and after 2 Pfizer something like 92% less likely.

Can they fix dumb too?

I just don't understand the logics?

Yes I am glad that community football is back on but kids have to wear masks to school and you can't sing or dance?

One would've thought the 10,000+ people tackling each other, sweating and spitting on the ground may cause more spreading of this highly contagious disease than someone bleating out some ballads, I'm sure teams will still sing their song post game too.

Tick off when you hear:
Dealing with the Delta variant

Proud of everyone in SA
Only one opportunity to tackle this

From today's presser...
Dealing with the Delta variant - tick
Highly transmissible - tick
Proud of everyone in SA - tick

Need to add:
"This is airborne"
"We are optimistic"
"You can see how quickly this spreads"

Watching the Port v GWS game last night, couldn't help but think how funny it was when they showed Leon Cameron talking at the quarter time break - mask down, side was close group nice and tight listening.. can do that, but when they win the game they all put masks on and stand apart

Coaches can't get covid I assume.

You are right Booney initially those stats you provideded were correct for Covid 19 in 2020.

However with the Delta variant the dynamics have now changed.

USA England and Israel are now seeing surges of infections in the Delta virus .

In israel with 90 % of the population fully vaccinated there has been a surge in cases of Delta leading to hospitalisation which of course is expected.

This is an very interesting article plus more and more reports are coming from other said countries.

The way this is going we will all be in perpetual lockdown for eternity.

Pfizer’s COVID-19 Shot May Not Be as Effective Against Delta Variant as First Assumed
According to the Health Ministry’s director general Dr. Chezy Levy, between 40 to 50 percent of the new coronavirus infections are in people who have been vaccinated for COVID-19. Approximately 70 percent of the COVID-19 cases have been caused by the Delta variant. “Even though the numbers are low, the fact that this is reaching vaccinated people means that we are still checking how many vaccinated people have also been infected,” Dr. Levy said.1 3

It's where the Presidents Group meet up for the 2nd half of games, the equipment gets pushed out of the way while we drink and eat.

So you don't jump of the cross trainer to watch the 2nd half? I'm sure a pint would fit nicely in the Pringles holder.
