The discrepancy by not only party but race would indicate this is more a reflection of level of trust in government than anything. If Republicans are mostly rich white, how does one explain the discrepancy by race in willingness to get vaccinated and why so many rich folks are trying to cut in front? Strange poll results

The percentage of White Democrats must be really high.

I think you are right about trust in government.

I still can't get over the Republicans on the vaccine. You can't blame Trump for that. He put all of his Covid eggs in the vaccine basket. I thought Republicans would be climbing over each other to get the vaccine. But ultimately the answer to Covid for about half the Republicans is we should do absolutely nothing and let it do whatever it does. I get the arguments on closures. I don't get the argument on masks and vaccines. It is one thing to be against mandates. It is another to not take reasonable measures because they make sense for your own personal safety.

Goes back to Trevor Noah's joke. If you want to get an American to lick a toilet seat, tell him he can't lick the toilet seat.

The glory of perverted individualism. It's like perverted pride that causes someone to shoot another person because they felt "disrespected", while not having enough pride to care about their future.

"A new consensus is emerging among scientists, according to Reuters interviews with 18 specialists who closely track the pandemic or are working to curb its impact. Many described how the breakthrough late last year of two vaccines with around 95% efficacy against COVID-19 had initially sparked hope that the virus could be largely contained, similar to the way measles has been.

But, they say, data in recent weeks on new variants from South Africa and Brazil has undercut that optimism. They now believe that SARS-CoV-2 will not only remain with us as an endemic virus, continuing to circulate in communities, but will likely cause a significant burden of illness and death for years to come."

Two questions:

If SARS-CoV-2 ends up being endemic, why is that necessarily so bad, given that we have effective vaccines for it? It might end up being "like the flu" but with even less fatalities. It will certainly mutate, but we pretty much know it does NOT mutate as fast as the flu does.

If these variants from the UK and S. Africa are such a problem, why are cases down so much in those two countries?


Back to worrying:

COVID-19 is on the rise in Brazil, Spain and, to a lesser extent, France and Italy. What's up with that and can we please step up the vaccinations here EVEN MORE? (Race against the clock.)

As far as I can tell, the scientific consensus is that the vaccines will likely continue to be effective against the new mutations, and even if not they will be able to quickly modify the vaccines so they are effective. So there is still reason for optimism.

When we see COVID rising again in places like New York and Mississippi (and internationally in Brazil, Spain and, to a lesser extent, Italy and France) we know damn well it will eventually arrive again here... UNLESS we can stall it long enough to get most people vaccinated.

We're really close to being able to put COVID deaths in our rear view mirrors. If only these effing Neanderthals could keep their masks on for another three months.

Possible creative solution: What with the Senator from Tennessee apparently embracing the Neanderthal label... and what with there being some consensus among scientists that Neanderthals are a separate species from Homo Sapiens... aren't there quite different laws as to what we can do with animals, versus humans?
