COVID-19 2020

welp, the last place on earth not impacted by Covid, until now
Three dozen people in Antarctica have reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, marking the first time cases have been recorded on the continent.
whoa, can't imagine that would ever happen here.  I could see airlines/businesses doing this though

Edit…don't think this will actually happen in france
France’s vaccination program… will not be mandatory, but a whopping 55% of citizens say they will not get the shot.

i'm sure i should know this, but what is "DL"?  i only know it as meaning "down-low", as in "please keep that story on the DL", or "he sleeps with other men on the DL."


I know what the other two DL's are, but i was referring to DL=Distance Learning.

My understanding is today we hit a sad milestone with 1 out of 1000 Americans dead from covid.

Just found out I should expect to get the Moderna vaccine the week of January 11-15. Best Christmas present, ever.

we should probably have a thread and Instagram account….and no we are not paying to fly your photographer in, you are going to need to get a selfie stick
We are actually talking about having all the executives get it the first day and do it live on a webinar to try and get more people in the company to agree to it. We sent out a survey and close to 30% are outright declining or "unsure" if they want to get it, which is staggering to me.
I am not at all surprised that Julian would potentially be the first boardie to get the vaccine.

I know posting integers is part of your job, but what else do you do in your job that allows you to get a January vaccination?
Jules is an assistant to the regional manager at a health care company.
So I took one of those online things that showed you where you are in the pecking order, and they had things split out by age groups:

85+
75-84
31-64
16-30

Whose idea is it that someone who is 64 has the same risk as someone who is 31?
31-64 is the "everybody else" category

How does that get you a January vaccination?
