    The medics have confirmed the vaccine should be effective on the UK, SA strains. I'd take it today if available to me.

      Today's iteration of the GOP has completely mutated away from 'traditional conservatism' though.

      I mean, what do traditional conservatives stand for?
      Off the top of my head I'd say:
      1. Balanced Budgets. Yes, hilariously enough given the rampant deficits of the Trump and Bush Jnr eras, conservatives used to think about the public purse much as they did their own and would massively push back against anything that increased government spending.
      2. Federal overreach. Traditional conservatives would always have argued for states rights. And yes, sometimes this was code for 'treat your black citizens badly down South if that's what you want to do'.
      3. Quite often, they stood for, if not quite isolationism, then a more minimalist approach to foreign affairs
      4. Free Trade. Trump has too often meant protectionism, barriers, tarriffs.
      5. Respect for the laws of the land. Contrast with this insane push to overthrow the results of a free and fair election.

          It says 9,000 children died in the institutions and it finds that mortality rates were very high in the period compared to the overall national rate of infant mortality.
          It said in the years before 1960 mother-and-baby homes did not save the lives of "illegitimate" children; in fact, they appear to have significantly reduced their prospects of survival.

            They essentially created a shortage to pre-empt an actual one? Seems strange when time is at such a premium and a single dose providers a decent amount of protection.

              Think there was more a fear a few weeks ago that if people didn't get their 2nd dose 21 days after the first, the whole job would be messed up. As the UK have decided to leave it up to 12 weeks between doses, the pressure to get it done after 3 weeks has eased.

                So far there is no indication that there are any mutations that would the vaccine will not been effective against it is possible that in time there will be and we may be getting updated Covid shots annually for ever.

                    Multiple NBA players have tested positive twice now. Quite a bit about it in recent days as teams have become short handed quickly.
                    They first started testing approx 9 months ago and are tested via quick test every day and PCR a couple of times a week.

                            So you're a dyed-in-the-wool Conservative Republican Congressman from Buttfuck, Indiana. Your voters are by and large white evangelicals who love God, guns and Donald J Trump.

                            When the vote calling on Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment comes up today, what do you do and why?
                            Interesting reporting that GOP Congressmen\women will not be whipped for tomorrow's impeachment vote i.e. they can vote their conscience.

                            It'll be interesting to see how many Ayes this garners. I vote 3. Out of 211.

                                    I felt very ignorant today. Someone said to me that we will still have to wear masks even with vaccinations as vaccination doesn't stop you from having and transmitting Covid, it only stops you getting ill. "Huh?" says I. Checked it out and they haven't a notion yet whether it stops you from transmitting it to people.

                                    The meek shall inherit the earth. All those smugly thinking "Sure I'd probably be grand if I got it, I'm younger and healthy" could be living in a world later this year where a huge percentage of the population has been vaccinated and are swanning around with the virus while they cower in basements avoiding geriatrics and the like.

                                        Yup.

                                        This isn't a vaccine as we know them. This is a keep people out of hospital shot. Game changer.


                                        My bubble is in a position where my son and my da can't get the vaccine and are vulnerable . Looking at the maths of it we'd probably be better off without it. The window of potentially spreading it is smaller if you're symptomatic compared to the 10 days unknowingly spreading it if vaccinated.

                                        I run good.

                                          What’s the general consensus on new phones at the minute? I have an s8 that’s still functional but is definitely beginning to slow down. I sold my last upgrade so I guess I have this 3+ years now

                                          I’m due an upgrade and made the mistake of asking for a work phone instead of having them pay my bill.

                                          Is 5g worth anything in Ireland yet? I see that it’s a little extra for 5g with a provider so getting close to 60e a month

                                          iPhone 12 or S20 seems to be winning the reviews but an S21 appears to be dropping this month.

                                            No way he resigns.

                                            Mitch McConnell seems to be making offstage noises about impeachment, which implies that the required super-majority in the Senate might have moved from 'impossible' to 'very unlikely'.

                                                can they put some numbers on that instead of words like 'might' and 'could'? I'd rather they said nothing instead of the above BS

                                                  I think the FBI\other law investigations into last Weds are going to throw up some truly remarkable connections between the rioters\insurrectionists\general morons and people in power (like actively aiding and abetting the more organised militia-style loons in what happened). My suspicion is that is why McConnell has flipped on Trump, he wants to get out ahead of these facts emerging.

                                                  (even if not true, would be a good movie script )

                                                        Tom Friedman has a good opinion piece in the NYT on this.

                                                        Basically he says there are now four types of Republicans:
                                                        1. Principled Conservatives (Romney, Murkowski etc). They were never really onboard with Trump and are probably the closest thing the GOP has to a conscience these days.
                                                        2. Cynically tactical Conservatives - McConnell being the prime example. They held their noses and used Trump to further their agenda, Supreme Court packing being #1.
                                                        3. Unprincipled Republicans. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley etc - they will do whatever it takes, including riding the Trumo train for all it's worth, to attain power for themselves.
                                                        4. MAGAnuts. True believers, militia wannabe soldiers, QAnon loons. They will believe anything Trump tells them.
                                                        You could quite easily see the 1s and 2s coalescing back into a more mainstream version of the GOP and repudiating Trumpism. The 3s need to be dealt with severely (and I suspect some of them will be done so via the law as it becomes apparent that they actively conspired in last Wednesday's events).

                                                        The 4s are irredeemable but maybe if Trump can be taken down with such finality and in such disgrace, then they can be properly marginalised....

My suspicion is that is why McConnell has flipped on Trump, he wants to get out ahead of these facts emerging.

                                                          (even if not true, would be a good movie script )

                                                            Seems to be talk that one of the newer Q following congresswoman gave a guided tour of capitol the day before the riot to people who showed up next day, also rumours of a congresswoman attempting to alert people to Pelosi,s whereabouts during the riot

                                                                  But would he need to buy Kingston. Couldn’t he just pay the owners $20m to do the above.

                                                                    Here's how that might work: Let's say you've been vaccinated and you encounter SARS-CoV-2. You're much less likely to develop symptoms — that's clear. But your immune system may not fight off the virus completely — it might allow some viruses to survive and reproduce and get expelled from your nose or mouth in a breath, cough or sneeze. Remember: No one can be sure yet if this actually happens or if it happens often enough that you'd be emitting enough active virus to sicken someone else.“

                                                                    Once you get the full dose your immune system should be suppressing your viral load to reduce risk of passing on any virus you pick up.

How is this possible if it’s so infectious? Now my theory was a LOT of the population have got this virus already last year unbeknownst to themselves and as it was mild never got tested. Similarly with my Niece , nobody in her family has it and yet she contracted it. Lives closely with her family and all negative. Maybe you can probably get reinfected but it impacts you very minimally . Now who knows how many people actually caught this last year and are out the other side of it. If we could have some test that detects this (I know there was an antibody test proved unreliable) we could move a long way towards lifting these lockdowns. The obsessive reliance of an urgent vaccination roll out would abate if we knew some people didn’t have an urgency for it. Just shooting the breeze here as I’m mystified how my brother in laws family and my nieces family still remain unaffected despite as much exposure to it as you can have. Meh

You're probably tied to iPhone or Samsung if it's for work as they generally link best with MDM systems (enterprise mobile device management). iPhone 12 and S20 are both 5G so you're future proofed anyway. I've an S9 through work as well, waiting on S21 for when new FY rolls over.

Hopefully it isn't but the better safe than sorry line at the moment is you're infectious but don't get sick. The lack of coughing your guts up must help but still, rather catch myself feeling ill and hide than spread it unknowingly for ages.

                                                                                        By that argument, they shouldn't have bothered with the Nuremburg Trials.

How is this possible if it’s so infectious? Now my theory was a LOT of the population have got this virus already last year unbeknownst to themselves and as it was mild never got tested. Similarly with my Niece , nobody in her family has it and yet she contracted it. Lives closely with her family and all negative. Maybe you can probably get reinfected but it impacts you very minimally . Now who knows how many people actually caught this last year and are out the other side of it. If we could have some test that detects this (I know there was an antibody test proved unreliable) we could move a long way towards lifting these lockdowns. The obsessive reliance of an urgent vaccination roll out would abate if we knew some people didn’t have an urgency for it. Just shooting the breeze here as I’m mystified how my brother in laws family and my nieces family still remain unaffected despite as much exposure to it as you can have. Meh

My wife was not sick after living in the same house as me, my friend who was much sicker than me has a wife and two kids and none of them were infected. My wife even got the antibody test weeks later and that was negative. I don't get how it is so infectious and rampant if its not picked up sharing the same house.

                                                                                                              1. House impeaches (with a handful of Republicans signing on)
                                                                                                              2. Further (appalling) details come out in the interim between the impeachment and the Senate trial. Not that they should be needed but anything else helps.
                                                                                                              3. The GOP No-voters get exposed for what they are
                                                                                                              4. The Senate votes Yes - with Mitch McConnell leading the way
                                                                                                              "We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
