Pfizer claims 30% non-white enrollment in the US trial. I'd be curious to see the full breakdowns for sex, age, and race at some point.
yes, we'll soon learn that the primary test population was 80% white males between the ages of 26-41, and 58-79. ....then bad stuff will happen say, if you are pregnant, hispanic, etc....

not as much as you think. Europe has pretty much banned all travelers coming from the USA (which is a good decision).
Okay, but come St. Valentine's Day you best be putting the red dress on.Meantime mask-the-fuck-up, avoid enclosed spaces with other people and if you're in one, keep it short. Sorry, but screw those TG dinners unless they're virtual. I may make a sweet potato pie, that's it, folks!
Been thinking about this, the calendar and the bloody traditions and the state of denial of so much of the populace points to a horrible December and much worse January. Be strong, be safe, be resolute!
Not sure I understand this. I ain't no cross dresser. Can you elaborate? Fun fact, my brother was born on Christmas, died on Valentine's Day. Personally, I don't put much stock in holidays. "Every day's a holiday."Okay, but come St. Valentine's Day you best be putting the red dress on.
lol, is there really a point in travel banning when you already have a rampant outbreak? Seems quite silly IMO.
Not allowing foreigners in is something you do to prevent an outbreak - not contain one domestically.
Looks like big chunks of NYS are sliding back into tighter restrictions. Cuomo giving one of the more combative press conferences in memory right now.
NYC schools announcing the city has hit 3% test positivity so they're closing up effective tomorrow.
Didn't WHO guidlines recommend having sub-5% positivity before reopening schools and businesses? I mean, last I checked, 3% is less than 5%. What are they trying to prove?Looks like big chunks of NYS are sliding back into tighter restrictions. Cuomo giving one of the more combative press conferences in memory right now.

Ah. So they are racists who fail to consider Americans as individuals each with their own merit and don't trust their screening and mandatory isolation processes. Got it.No, it works both ways. Europeans are generally better at following advice on average, listening to experts. They actually wear masks and obey stay at home orders, don't yell at people and try to start fights for simply trying to do what's best for everyone, at a population level.
Americans are banned because we are morons. They saw how pathetically we can't handle simple, easy, barely inconvenient advice, and the best way to contain the spread is to ban the entry of a crowd of idiots that are hell-bent on making sure the spread continues.
well that's just super.

You can't base your policy on a simple one digit integer. I think they're being more nuanced than that.Didn't WHO guidlines recommend having sub-5% positivity before reopening schools and businesses? I mean, last I checked, 3% is less than 5%. What are they trying to prove?

What's better: wait for cases to climb to higher than 5% positivity and THEN close for a big time interval while waiting for cases to return to a "more manageable level", or close now while the case numbers are getting high already but still under the 5% threshold so that the closure period isn't as long because it's much easier to get to a "more manageable level" starting from a lower "baseline"?
Hey, this is NY, NYC actually? Density defined in the USA. It's analogous to a nuclear reaction. Get it under control quick or you have a disaster. I wouldn't second guess them, I'm sure Cuomo is conferring with a team of experts. NYC was IIRC the worst situation we've had in the USA so far with this.They wouldn't be. They would be basing it on WHO guidelines that are supposedly backed with good science and reason.
3% is extremely low.
I imagine they would be basing it on their own assessments. The WHO guidelines are just guidelines, and can't be one size fits all. Every situation is different. Cuomo has no problem finding experts and he has a lot more brains than that idiot governor in S. Dakota.They wouldn't be. They would be basing it on WHO guidelines that are supposedly backed with good science and reason.
3% is extremely low.
Per Bloomberg News, virus cases in nursing homes are up again. Yike.
