    • Is it wrong of me to wish that all these cunts die a slow miserable death...tomorrow?BusterBoy
    • Nope. Is it wrong that I wish I was suspended above them with bad case of diarrhea? Nope.garbage
    • @omaha They were vaccinated long ago. Vaccinations are for the self and do not prevent spread. Masks do. These people think that you're scum.garbage
    • These fucking idiots "Republicans" just can't seem to stop themselves from sending the wrong message to their fully retarded, god fearing, flock of sheep.utopian
    • They don't have to worry about a message anymore.garbage
    • garbage, what the fuck do you think vaccines do to you??? are you stuck in some intellectual landfill? of course vaccines prevent the spread.pr2
    • @pr2 You think what I was saying was anti-vax? I don't like to be mean, but JFC you're a either a very boring troll or a super-moron.garbage

    Cebina, together with the National Laboratory of Virology in Pécs, is also developing several anti-Covid preparations, including a nasal spray, which, based on the results so far, removes the virus from the body in a few days.
    The nasal spray is already in the human clinical trial phase and is being tested in Germany.

    • there are several nasal sprays that's already being tested and they seem to be far more effective in prevention rather than diminishing the symptomsBeeswax

    • The only joke Bill Maher has is himself.garbage
    • Maher is great.NBQ00
    • he is notkingsteven
    • Because he criticizes SJW's and liberals sometimes?NBQ00
    • what?kingsteven
    • He's a fucking geezer that appeals to neocon parents. "Criticizes SJW's and liberals" isn't a +1. He's a longterm dimwit racist.garbage
    • Dude dated Ann Coulter for a long time when she was in her shit talk prime. He's a media-opportunist, not a mouth worth thinking about. But darn, stay woke.garbage
    • i mean, i don't think i'd mind any of that if he was entertaining. half his jokes don't land with his own audiencekingsteven
    • he's a helmetKrassy
    • I enjoy maher. it's okay to not agree with everything someone says...inteliboy
    • He's hard to stomach for better or worse. Sometimes its hard medicine for others, sometimes for us, and sometimes for himself when he is way off. Worth it.instrmntl
    • He’s married to a black chick isn’t he? I think he’s funny most of the time. He’s a liberal who sees the hypocrisy and absurdity on both sides_niko
    • He’s not saying anything groundbreaking, he’s rehashing most of Carlin’s material but doing it in a less funny and more condescending way_niko
    • Lol I just noticed that Omaha posted this vid and I also just noticed it’s on the coronavirus thread, I haven’t watched it and was making a general comment_niko
    • ...about Maher, I hope I don’t get pie in my face after watching this lol_niko
    • Lol just watched it . Derp.
      Sorry I compared him to Carlin
      _niko
    • That 78% of covid hospitalization are overweight is misleading, the general US population is 75% overweight._niko
    • Maher accuses everyone of being misleading and then goes on to spout the 78% of hospitalizations had a BMI over 25 as if that is helpful? Lulz.
      ********
    • Runs with his entitled, blind take that health care in America isn't that bad and it's basically your fault if you can't afford it.garbage
    • He's also ok with pedophilia, and for a "funnyman" he's laughably unfunny. Fuck Bill Maher.garbage
    • that's the only issue I have with him really, he's just not very funny. But I do also entertain the idea he is to some as he's helming such a flagship show.fadein11

    Got the vaccine yesterday, Oxford one.
    Last night in bed my shins and knees were sweating but I felt freezing, slept for hours.
    Today I have a sore back and am generally achey.

    • lol Sweaty Shins and knees? How peculiarly-specific! Going to try and wrangle my shot this next week or so - apparently you can just walk inNairn
    • ...to vax centres near the end of a day and they're trying to encourage people in, to use up remaining daily vax dosesNairn
    • The sore back and body aches stuck with me for almost 4 days. Mostly in the evenings.monospaced
    • I always wonder how so much sweat can come out my shins, there isn't much flesh there. @Nairn I heard the people at the centre say that about chancing it.PhanLo
    • Worth a shot for sure. @monospaced I'm hoping I'm over the worst of the acheyness, but I reckon it could hang around. Resisting the urge to go back to bed.PhanLo
    • Down here in LDN certain communities aren't taking up their allocation, so apparently nurses are out on street asking passers-by. Crazy..Nairn
    • I hope to fuck we get 'herd'-levels soon and start massively exporting doses to countries in need. UK needs a gold star. Or at least a smiley face sticker.Nairn
    • Is that true Nairn? If so, we have a vaccination place round the corner which i'll go check this evening out.Ianbolton
    • I think it depends upon the area - we have low uptake in London. That said, I know two people (younger than me) from different boroughs who did exactly this.Nairn
    • @ianbolton, not sure where you are in the country but i have friends just out of there 20s who have had there first dose. It seems to be up to the vaccination..Morning_star
    • ...centre but by 3 o'clock most days they've been through those that have appointments and will literally give it to anyone who rocks up. These guys were from..Morning_star
    • ...Birmingham,Manche... and London.

      FFS also, 'Their' not 'there'

    • PhanLo, how'd you get it? Is it just regular rollout or are you on a special list? You're Leith side of the 'burgh arent you?microkorg
    • A client of mine volunteers in a West London vax clinic and they are def giving out unused shots at the end of the day.Fax_Benson
    • @microkorg since my father-in-law died last year we are looking after my wife's mum. So we applied for a non-paid carers vaccine.PhanLo
    • We had to go out to a Royal Bank building ta the gyle, was weird out there, just giant empty offices.PhanLo
    • It just opened for 35 y/o in Belfast out of the blue, got booked in for Wedskingsteven
    • I think it's close to that here too @kingstevenPhanLo
    • about to hit 66% first dose here which is mad scotland is close - was surprised england is only 33%. my sister is teaching in bristol, just back in schoolkingsteven
    • and hasn't been able to get one... she's coming over to stay with us when term ends in a couple weeks, hoping she doesn't have to resort to vaccine tourism hakingsteven
    • got thrown off by rehashed news, england is close to 50% looking at the stats. ROI only at 25% - they may get us back yet for fucking up the first lockdownkingsteven
    • Yeah my uncle in Mayo only got his first jab last week. They're quite behind it seems.PhanLo
    • I feel a lot better today, out to do some painting for a job. So hopefully that's it.
      Back's still a bit achey. My wife says her arm is still sore.

    Get my second shot of Moderna tomorrow. I'll report back.
    Both my parents had no side effects, so I'm hoping I'll do ok.

  • mg330

    Had my second Pfizer shot on Saturday. Feeling fine. Shoulder a little sore but not a big deal.

    First shot, later that evening I had some quick sharp pains in my chest. None of that this time.

    I do keep thinking "gee, I hope we're not all early-adopters of something that's going to mess us up later in life," because you sure can't get this stuff out of your body once it's in there.

    • Pfizer, ah. Did you notice anything going down there, you know...NBQ00
    • 5G reception getting stronger?grafician

    • ...and instead backing of from fear they irrationally get a vaccine and double-mask?pr2
    • cause, you know, i myself know at least 3 people like that.pr2
    • Because we know masks can only decrease your chance of infection. That's the best people can do. But other idiots who welcomes infection needs to be toldpango
    • They are idiotspango
    • you mean people are too stupids to understand how body's anti-bodies work?pr2
    • He didn’t say that. I know reading is hard for you.monospaced
    • pr2 knows 3 people who got Covid and wore masks, and so he concludes masks are useless for everyone, despite a million dead and risingmonospaced
    • pr2 is the kind of guy who doesnt wear a seatbelt.inteliboy
    • Of course no respectable expert agrees with him, but that doesn’t stop him from being an asshat of asshats. School is you silly video biatcch.monospaced
    • So how many people dead is an acceptable number for us to develop the anti body?pango
    • 141m people got covid. And 80m died already. Where is this anti body? And how many more infected or dead till we see anti body?pango
    • I know for a fact the consensus from the scientific community is that you're an idiot.pango
    • oops copied the wrong number. the total death number is 3.01M. Is that an acceptable number?pango
    • I just skimmed and saw the science expert pr2 describe "anti-bodies". Lol he's so dumb he can't even spell what he doesn't understand.garbage

    • i like how the local morons don't engage the gist of the argument... of course because even in its simplicity, it STILL flies WAY over their heads.pr2
    • then mono, in his Trumpian imbecility creates a new term: "respected experts" - as opposed to what? "not respected expert"?pr2
    • guys, some of you are so dumb, it makes it just too easy to make fun of you.pr2
    • You've angrily avoided so much actual evidence that has proved your opinions wrong that I think you're actually developmentally disabled. Not a joke.garbage

    • "actual evidence"? As opposed to what "non-actual evidence"? - come on man, you can do better.pr2
    • Lol. so at how many death is this antibody going to kick in? And at how many death should we do something else instead of waiting for this antibody?pango

    How is is that the WHO and the international community are OK with China not reporting any data on the COVID-19 pandemic?

    • China no careutopian
    • China knows where it was createdutopian
    • right, we know the above, but WHY is the WHO and the rest of the world OK with that??Krassy
    • china's not really part of the world community, they do whatever they like._niko
    • ^ and WHY is the world OK with that???Krassy
    • they do though, its not very useful data (they only report hospitalisations) and they're getting a lot of heat for it from WHO, US, EU...kingsteven
    • i'm not sure where you get the idea they're not reporting data or that there's not uproar about the way they classify cases... there was a WHO report recentlykingsteven
    • which stated that china didn't provide raw data with investigators in the early days of the pandemic, but they still provided data.kingsteven
    • Rule 1 of communists: never show how incompetent we are

      p.s. not even kidding
      grafician
    • @kingsteven dude, my question is rhetorical, obvi. It's more of a statement that China needs to be held accountable and soon!Krassy
    • and no, they haven't been reporting real data AT ALL! It's mostly fabricated data or grossly reduced numbers that they've been "reporting"Krassy
    • What makes you think the world doesn't care? WHO has called out China (not by name) but also they think they know how China will respond/react.
      ********
    • The international community has many opinions on how to deal with China; how to keep them doing what we need them to do. It's delicate & no one knows.
      ********
    • The only way to get China in line is through a land war but nobody wants to fall victim to one of the two classic blunders of all time!_niko
    • impose sanctions, boycott their exported trash, squeeze their economy, etc. the world needs to show a pair of balls, otherwise the Chinese Empire is inevitableKrassy
    • Chill Krassy, China needs the world longer than the world needs China. They were "closed" before in their past and millions died of hunger.grafician
    • Also if you want to see the numbers from China, well take a look at India now with their second wave, ppl dead on the streets and in their homes!grafician
    • @grafician the point is: China should join the world in fighting the pandemic. If they don't share their numbers, the WHO is irrelevant.Krassy
    • govts just playing like they have the upper hand, the forced labour prevention bill is currently being amended in to a fair trade type contract by Apple, Cokekingsteven
    • and pretty much every multinational that relies on china's cheap materials and labour. Its a battle of ideology and we got capitalism... buckle upkingsteven
