    In fact my friend who also has to regularly meet in person often times with mask-less people that think it’s a joke wants to know this trick. He’s also in Birmingham FYI

    It’s tough to find daily totals but it looks like we’re at 55m or so since inauguration. At the current rate we get there in late March.

    So long story short I just got cleared to move back to England and I'll be flying out of Atlanta at the end of March.

    Atl peeps, where do y'all go for free covid tests? I have to have a negative test no more than 3 days before flying out and my insurance situation will be kinda up in the air since I'll be switching to the NHS.

    An average flu season has 45 million cases in the United States

    There have been 1500 reported this season so far

    Anecdotal, but I’ve also had far fewer sick days used by my team this year since working from home. Granted, that also encompasses “sick” days once time becomes available again, so pure theory.

    My mom got second shot Friday of Pfizer. 15 hours in at like 3:30 in the morning she woke up w solid arm pain and couldn’t get back to sleep. 11am she got hit like a freight train w chills and drenched in sweat, fever. By 8pm she was mostly normal other than just fatigue from being sick all day, was fine this morning.

    Same for me. I’m nearly at six weeks vacation and haven’t taken a single day off since WFH started. Fortunately I’ve been able to manipulate WFH to my benefit and I’ve still taken a handful of vacations without taking a single PTO day.

    My wife did say that if this is only a fraction of what covid fees like then it would definitely suck especially with any coughing and chest pain.

    The way I read the original post was she hasn’t taken any time off which I agree would be bad for mental health. Sounds like she’s taken time off but hasn’t had to use PTO days which isn’t the same.

    I have used Piney Grove Baptist multiple times with less than 48 hour turnaround on results. Im sure Fulton sites are just as good. (I did a scheduled test when I flew international last year thru Piedmont Hospital Clinic and results took 4 business days, just an fyi).

    It’s worth noting that the reported cases are always much lower than the average because the average is based on statistical modeling. Most flu patients don’t seek medical intervention at all let alone get confirmed via lab test and reported to the CDC.

    There does seem to be a dramatic decrease in 2020 though, for instance Japan posted an overall slight decrease in all-cause mortality through year-end, and an astonishing >90% (believe it was >99%, can’t find the article I read) reduction in flu-related deaths.

    Given that Covid’s infection rate is somewhat similar to the flu and their infection vectors are the same, it would seem unlikely that the flu fell off that much; there’s probably some amount of dual cases where the diagnosis prioritized and stopped at COVID since it’s such a bigger concern/risk.

    ???

    I certainly buy that masks, distancing, etc... would dramatically reduce the number of flu cases floating around over the past year, but some of those figures suggest we basically eradicated the flu yet covid is rampaging through society, even though they are transmitted the same way. That doesn’t make any sense.

    So... if Israel is at like 92% first shot, how long until their case rates just plummet... like a month?

    It’s because COVID is many times more infectious than the flu and has a longer presymptomatic transmission phase (Time when person is shedding the virus prior to showing symptoms)

    Totally, but if the vaccine is 90% effective at reducing spread that should be enough to bottom out their deaths and see 90% + reduction in a few weeks right? I’d love to put that to bed I think that’s a lot of people’s hesitance

    That makes sense and certainly seems like it could contribute to lower flu numbers along with the prophylactic measures.

    I’m just saying I doubt we went from 45,000,000 to 1600. Especially when half the Union including some of the most populous states have very few restrictions.

    Already are, but if that is true, give it 2 weeks and cases, but especially hospitalizations and deaths will fall drastically.

    Wasn’t there a study shared in this thread a few pages ago that suggested 89% reduced spread or something

    Read the above link. That was very early data out of Israel, but they did not test systematically for asymptomatic infection. Definitive data on this from Moderna coming in October. That said, yes, it probably does reduce spread. But for sure you should track hospitalizations and deaths in Israel. Lagging indicator but give it 4-6 weeks to catch up.

    Of course we didn’t. Do you think the impact is that much less breathtaking if the estimated number is 16,000 or even 160,000? Is it possible that the 190 million flu vaccines that have been distributed have any impact in combination with social distancing measures that, even when not strictly followed, limit people’s close interactions? Is there a point to your well, actuallying?
