I'd wonder about whether it is possible to break down the connective tissue and still not be (far) beyond medium...but I'm intrigued.

Yeah, I think this is the corrected version (at least, it corrected one such problem. It may have done more.)

I found this thread helpful in understanding the apparent paradox between reinfection in ~months vs. vaccines that appear to be successful: PS: Prof. Heemstra is one of my favorite science communicators. Definitely worth a follow.

The best analogy I've heard is to think of it like a 3-day/2-night "cruise". It's pricey---$3ishK for a single, 7.5K for a family of five. That same family of five could do a 4-day/3-night cruise for less on DCL in a Concierge-level cabin. If you have a bunch of Star Wars fans, I could see it...

It's worse than that. There are often compelling economic arguments for some progressive issues, but because they might help "those people" many are unwilling to pay for them even when it is clear that the programs more than pay for themselves. We don't just lack empathy, we are actively punitive.

The case in that study above had a reinfection in 48 days. Is that an outlier? Maybe.

We also don't know whether or how long having a past infection conveys protection from future infections---either in presence or severity. There are documented cases of reinfection, some of which were more severe the second time around...

We just decided to pull the plug on our Hawaii holidays trip. Our next trip anywhere is Up North in May, and then we'll try Hawaii again in August.

My PCP told me that hospitals in our area were told to increase their cold storage capacity a bit ago...so they are planning at least in the US, as George suggests.

I'm always reminded of this video around this time of year.

Everyone knows that Pixie Dust is an anti-viral/sanitizer.

I'm so sorry that we as a country inflicted the scourge of Hershey's "chocolate" upon your household.

If you have a park pass and valid ticket for that day, I don't think it matters where you are. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/star-wars-rise-of-the-resistance-opening-reports-and-using-boarding-groups-at-disneys-hollywood-studios.962202/post-9519015
