It would be cool to have some sort of a sign to show others that you have your Vacination, maybe a T-Shirt from the Gouverment, whit some sort of Copy Protection that says: "I got vacinated, and all i got was this T-Shirt"..
Shure there is your Vacination Paperwork, but if you are that close to check if someone got the stamp in his Vacination Book, because someone dont wear a mask, its a bit dangorous..

So if you want your Special Rights because you cant spraid the Virus anymore, you have to wear this T-Shirt..

Am I reading you correctly: are you saying that if you have the vaccination that you cannot spread Covid to other people? I didn't think that this has been proven?
 
Some MIT smarty-pantses are saying the six-foot rule doesn't work in most indoor spaces, because smaller droplets containing COVID-19 will just wade around the room.

That’s been demonstrated in multiple Japanese studies for over a year, like in this one: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/ataglance/845/
 
My last info was that you arend infectious when you got the Vacine,
it wouldnt make sense otherwise, as the Vacine tells your Body how to defeat the Virus, so even if you got the Virus, its dont have the changse to get spread because your body kills it
At least when enough got vacined, this should be hopefully the End of the Pandemic..

I cant imagen that i have to wear a Mask the Rest of my live...
 
I'm wondering what weekly trends India's COVID-19 reporting follows, if any. Their daily case count is still going up, but seems to be plateauing. I know here in North Carolina, the highest case counts are usually on Fridays, and the lowest case counts are on Tuesdays. Testing percent positive follows a trend too, with the highest percent usually coming on Sundays here.

@matzesu I think I heard Oregon was getting tired of constantly extending its mask mandates, and was seeking a way to make an indefinite mandate, one that they could just leave up until they want to take it down. I think legislation would be required in that case though.
 
So I got my vaccine but to go into the office I still have to get a test. What a stupid situation... We don't trust your covid status you have to get it from our preferred supplier.
 
FiveThirtyEight says that in the spread of COVID-19, humans pose more threat to animals than animals pose to humans.


As it should be. It also says domestic cats are far more likely to get it than domestic dogs. Feels good to be a dog person right now.
 
My last info was that you arend infectious when you got the Vacine,

Then I'd like to read your last info. Do you have sources ? Last week Phlyra said he had read something about it, I read some news piece not very well written about some Oxford study on asymptomatic infection, but I couldn't find the source.
Some months ago that was not clear, and in general not tested in the trials (except some studies).
When they test the vaccines they give it to some tens of thousands, give a placebo to some other tens of thousands, trying to make both groups as comparable as possible, and then tell everyone to come when they have symptoms.
If they tell of symptoms they test them (with PCR or something) and count how many got COVID-19 who had placebo and how many who had vaccine. Since fewer got symptoms with the vaccine they conclude that the vaccine prevents symptoms.
But that does not count the asymptomatic infections, and we know that unvaccinated people with asymptomatic COVID-19 can spread it.
So we didn't know whether COVID-19 vaccines only prevent symptoms, turning vaccinated people into asymptomatic spreaders, or they also prevent asymptomatic infection and spread. Both would be possible, and none is going to be 100% efficient,
so most likely there'll be a different efficacy for each option.
It's difficult to prove whether vaccinated people can spread the disease or not, because people have many contacts with other people and once you find an infection you don't generally know who came it from, and so you don't know if that infecting person was or wasn't vaccinated.
Yet, there may be observational studies or even now in the UK they've started human challenge trials. So maybe now that is known, but I haven't found sources yet.

it wouldnt make sense otherwise, as the Vacine tells your Body how to defeat the Virus, so even if you got the Virus, its dont have the changse to get spread because your body kills it
That's like saying it doesn't make sense to worry about criminals because we have police.
It would make sense otherwise. If vaccines don't stop spread but prevent that the vaccinated people get bad enough to have to be in hospital or die, that's already making a lot of sense.
And there seems to be good evidence that that is the case. This also means that vaccinated people leave more beds free in hospitals for unvaccinated people or other diseases.
That's enough to offer vaccines.
If vaccines also prevent contagion, then much the better.
But if vaccinated people think they're unvulnerable and can't give other people a deathly disease, and therefore quit prevention measures, then that would be much worse.
I wouldn't be surprised that the virus can spread and mutate much easily wihth 100% people vaccinated and taking 0 prevention than with 0% vaccinated but maximal prevention.
We should aim for everybody who wants being vaccinated and everybody taking preventive measures. And then we wait until the pandemic is undetectable, to be sure.

At least when enough got vacined, this should be hopefully the End of the Pandemic..
I hope you're right, but I fear you're not. I don't know for sure.
Partly because maybe the vaccines don't stop infection. Maybe not even natural immunity (the one you get after surviving the disease) doesn't stop infection.
If it is enough to have survivable or even mild disease, then once everybody is vaccinated it shouldn't matter, if ever the pandemic is there but it's not killing or disabling people, and it's just like a cold, then that'd be good.
But the virus can maybe mutate faster than we can vaccinate everyone.
And I don't know how long the vaccine protection lasts. Pfizer is already saying that people may need a refresh vaccination every year.
If that's so then can we vaccinate the world population in one year ?
They seem to be producing more vaccines this quarter than last quarter, but I wonder how long that acceleration can last. I doubt there'll be time to vaccinate everyone before the virus mutates, or the first one require revaccination.

I cant imagen that i have to wear a Mask the Rest of my live...
It isn't that bad. It also stops flu and other nasties.
But in any case, scientists especulate that vaccines or not vaccines in maybe 10 years or whatever people will have died or survived the virus and even if they are not invulnerable, the effects of the disease might become less.
In a decade or two, with or without vaccines, it could become another flu, or something.
So it's not all your life, with or without vaccines, unless some other disease comes.
But how many people die and suffer before that is still important. It may not be an extinction event, but it's still a bloody shit.
So I got my vaccine but to go into the office I still have to get a test. What a stupid situation...
No. It's not stupid. You can still get the virus and spread it or be ill. You only got one dose and it takes some time for your immune system to build up defenses.
And later it's still not 100% sure you'll be protected. And it's going to be less % sure that you won't spread it. So it's better to be tested.
The world is not binary.
We don't trust your covid status you have to get it from our preferred supplier.
Well, this I find stupid. Provider shouldn't matter. But I don't understand that health care systems can be private. I once health in Canada it is prohibited to offer private medicine, and thought it's good policy.
 
you have to wear this T-Shirt..
The t-shirt is transferable. It also can get stolen or lost. It can get copied and forged. The idea is to either:
  • Have a QR code on your phone that resolves to your id (one of the only viable)
  • Have a card that has that information and is difficult to forge (takes a bit of an effort to create cards)
  • eat a pill with a signal "superpower" (pill dissolves after a while, so might be useful for one-time tests - for concerts, for example)
  • implant a bioluminescent marker in your forearm (a tatoo)
  • implant a chip (lots of resistance, not viable yet)

All those are not transferable.

What you want is that your phone picks up with phone markers (requires people to have bluetooth enabled) and it will tell you.

give a placebo to some other tens of thousands,
Heard from 3rd person that they were doing (blind) placebo testing in Netherlands.

Ok, the T-Shirt is just a first sign that you got vaccinated, and to prove that you dont have the T-Shirt from some one else, you also have to show your Vaccination ID Book..

I dont have propper Sources yet on the not invectioness of Vacinated peaple, i wrote something that the Roberth Koch Institute got a Study which showed that you cant spread if you got your second dose, and wait about 2 Weeks..

Its dosnt mean, when you got your Syringe, you can cuddle and hugg everyone else..
but whit a bit sense of hygienic, etc, maybe whe could come back to a normal live whitout Lockdowns..

Everyone can still wear a Mask if he feels so, but at least i hope its not that mandatory anymore some time..

Yeah, marking people as the preferable ones. Great idea. What could go wrong.
 
Once there was a plan that someday none were still around that had to were a yellow badge. It worked quite well actually, but wasn't pretty.

And there are those that shouldn't get vaccinated due to health issues.

However, when you start marking people, there's a chance things escalate.

Well, when i think about the place where i live, it wasnt the best idea whit this historic background..
How about a QR Code you scan whit your Corona App?
Allthough my Corona App ditnt made any Alarm yet, i have it on my Phone since last yeahr, .. ..
I have a lot of customers, on some of them might have this App on thyre Phone, but nothing..
 
I'm still thinking about that FiveThirtyEight article I linked earlier. We might be able to vaccinate enough humans to get things back to normal, but unless we also vaccinate stray cats, we're probably gonna need to continue vaccinating humans from here to eternity.
 
I cant imagen that i have to wear a Mask the Rest of my live...
Why not? It also helps prevent the transfer of other diseases like the common cold and influenzas, seems like a reasonable tradeoff to me if you're in a crowded place and not eating or drinking.

And yes, we should be anticipating the constant need to be vaccinated for now. Different variants of this disease might be able to modify the spike protein and thus get around our vaccination, so we'll need another one. Unless we can get this disease to the state of smallpox where we pretty much wipe out that DNA sequence from the world, we'll keep needing to make new vaccines and inject them into our arms. From where I'm standing the idea of wiping out this DNA sequence when it's in so many people and animals seems unforeseeable.
