Does that mean no mask with a passport?

We all wear the mask until we all don't wear the mask. Otherwise enforcement will be impossible.

CDC says that 1 dose of moderna and Pfizer is 80% effective.

Also, CDC said that vaccinated people can't spread.

Both are yuge.

Whoa, that is indeed huge. 

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/03/cdc-data-suggests-vaccinated-dont-carry-cant-spread-virus.html

“Vaccinated people do not carry the virus — they don’t get sick,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday. That’s “not just in the clinical trials, but it’s also in real-world data.”

Walensky was referring to a new CDC study that suggests those fully inoculated with the vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer don’t transmit the virus.

Yes, both pieces of news are absolutely remarkable, and strong evidence that we can get COVID mostly behind us if everybody gets vaccinated as soon as possible.

And another piece of great news on the vaccine front:

Pfizer-BioNTech says Covid vaccine is 100% effective in kids ages 12 to 15

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/covid-vaccine-pfizer-says-shot-is-100percent-effective-in-kids-ages-12-to-15.html

Hopefully, usage in 12-15 year olds will be approved so middle and high school aged kids can be vaccinated by the fall.

I see no reason why that timeline can't be reached.

Do they look like Irish R&B singers?

But in all honesty, that's great news. Get schools vaccinated and a big transmission vector closes down.

12 is 6th grade.  i could never remember ages to grades before I had kids/had kids that age.  So basically, all of high school and middle school can be vaccinated.

My company did a smart thing just now .. hourly folks get +2 hours of pay to get vaccinated, and everyone +8 into PTO when you are fully vaccinated.

Nice move on their part.

I'm not sure if thats actually legal or not.

Don't know if it's illegal, but it might open companies up for preferential treatment/discrimination claims.

I don't think it is any different than giving someone a benefit for participating in wellness activities.

Agreed. In fact, it's far less restrictive than companies requiring proof of vaccination as a condition of employment. And even that is probably legal if there are exemptions based on religious beliefs or health issues.

I think your profession is going to be busy in the coming years testing the reasonable border of these various restrictions. Should prove interesting case law reading.

Got my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine today.

The new chip is awesome! Anyone know how long the CIA covers the data plan?

This is correct. Or giving someone time off to participate in volunteer activities.

Yep, but there seems to be a glitch. I am seeing way too many posts by people who seem optimistic about the future of MU hoops.

Conspiracy.   The CIA is controlling what you see in your glasses.

This probably speaks to the hurried nature of this, and trying to get it out quickly, but usually you bake a test cake before you bake 15M of them.  Sell Emergent!

The plant in Baltimore is run by Emergent Biosolutions, and workers mixed up the ingredients in the vaccine, the Times reported.

The error does not affect doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine that have already been distributed, since those were made in the Netherlands, but it impacts future shipments of the vaccine, according to the Times.

The automatic upgrade to 5G is a nice feature of the vaccine, too.

That's overrated - you can get that from AT&T.  The ability to crush rocks with my bare hand however - that's cool.
