I thought that was all up… but I haven’t paid a lot of attention to what the actual number are. Just that it’s happening

@nadnerb it's take away food, or, mental health food if you like.
what should I watch on TV tonight?? -
I have been awake again for hours now. Apparently as my body ages, actual sleep hours needed drops dramatically. Ugh!

Personally, risk of clots or other complications doesn't outweigh the benefits of staying alive.... And COVID vaccines are far from the only cause of clots, I don't see too many people being reluctant to travel, get pregnant or take birth control because of a risk of clots.... https://familydoctor.org/condition/blood-clots/ An interesting statistic posted by a friend shows that the risks of clotting from hormone-based birth control are many times higher than the observed rates of issues from vaccines.
Just some food for thought and some comparative context.

@notverypunny some more food for thought...
I'm not getting a vaccination for something that literally poses no real threat to me or 99.9% of the world.
Sure, I'll vaccinate against polio or smallpox for example because most people who get that would be fucked. No argument there. But for the flu or covid? Wtf?

Sending an email to Ksger on why I can't get some tips working

While personally I have no worries about COVID either, it's killed family members for us, and nearly killed staff. We've had people in the hospital for over a month with COVID (he's back and okay now) that we nearly lost. It poses a real risk to people, mostly at random. The problem with not getting the vaccine is not that you are or are not potentially at grave risk, but that only if we all get the vaccine do we protect those who are at risk, and it's a large number of people including young, healthy people.

I've been mostly offline this week. Driving across the country from Texas to NY. In NY now, but only until Wednesday, ugh. Have to drive NY to Miami. I'm so tired.
-
With the new update stats work again, and we can see that we are on 4.4 million views a month in the app now! Busier than we've been in a while.
-
Our hotel is harvesting coconuts from our own trees today!
-
Trying to get our COVID testing scheduled in Orlando.
-
Been so busy that we are running weekend interviews!
-
Tried out v2 of my VESA microscope mount.
98% better, only problem made the screwing screw holes to small. But a quick drill will solve that. -

Then those at risk of covid issues should get vaccinated for themselves. If you are worried about covid issues, get vaccinated. If someone is at risk or worried about covid, then by all means they should get vaccinated for themselves. I shouldn't have to get vaccinated for them when they can vaccinate themself. If they vaccinate, it doesn't matter then if I do.

Not everyone has access to vaccines. TONS of people can't get them. You're logic only works if vaccines are fullproof (or effectively so) and universally available (which we aren't even close to.)

Everywhere I go, they do.
