The numbers are out and you can see the effectiveness of the vaccines.
Yes, and it's only really effective against serious infections. Some of the vaccines (remember, whole regions of the world can't get the really effective ones and no children can - nor can people pick which they get) are only like 65% effective against infection, but nearly 100% effective in stopping a serious complication from infection.
So stopping the infection isn't even on the radar realistically. The name of the game is lowering infection rates to allow hospitals to have capacity while stopping serious infections to allow people to live and hopefully recover.

Also working on getting the existing fiber sped up. We have fiber at 2Mb/s, jajaja.
I think we need more bandwidth than that.

Surprisingly made it to work today.
My back started giving me trouble Friday, by Saturday night I almost couldn't move without being in pain - and Had the tingling and numbness in my lower legs (which is normal for me..) Yesterday it got progressively worse until Bed time when I took some pain killers I have from the last time this happened.
Moving pretty slow today.
Gonna Suck.I had (still have) lots of pain and tingly numbness left over from a severe B12 deficiency. So be sure to get plenty of vitamins in you, even if that's not the cause.
Thanks for the advice , I'll have to double check that I'm getting enough.

If it drops below a certain point, you have to get it back up with injections. Otherwise a basic multivitamin or B12 /B complex works fine.

So many honeybees flying around my shrubberies. Might be a new hive around here somewhere.

but the vaccines must be doing something. From where I sit, since the vaccines began rolling out in the US, the number of infections have dropped. In India, they're screaming out for Vaccines amongst other things, so I guess they think they're worthwhile.
I have people in their 80s who I care for, I don't want them dying before they have to, so if vaccines make their lives safer, then why not use them.
It's about protecting everyone, not just ourselves I believe.

They help, for sure. And they have risks, for sure. But it is very clear that the benefits outweight the costs, at least for normal adults. But if they are effective, in whatever way, then we need everyone to get them so that we can eliminate the threat. No vaccine is all that effective if only a few people get them.

Heading to bed, last day in NY is tomorrow and it is going to be a busy one.

Insane day here today. So many errands and meetings. It's my last day in NY.

My house in Texas just went up for sale. If anyone is looking for a nice suburban place in Carrollton. We loved this house for eleven years, but we have moved away.
