What makes you think that?

Very few people that I have seen get Covid (which is a lot) have had anything severe. In fact, I think covid already went through our family but we weren't tested.

That has not been my experience but your point is valid.

It's a bit like saying "What?! I have to use my seatbelt for every car trip?!"

Not quite. We don't inject ourselves with something that could kill us or make us sick when we put on a seatbelt. A seat belt is a passive aid, whereas the vaccine is an active one with potential negative consequences.

Just get the second dose and any boosters. It's the correct thing to do!

Is it? Maybe. Why? (In your opinion) I never have gotten the seasonal flu virus and when he told me how long this stuff lasts, I thought of the regular flu.

the Delta variant is hitting the young hard when they get it

I have heard the death rate of the young is somewhere around .01% or something like that.

I finally bit the bullet and got the first dose of Moderna Covid vaccine today. I asked the guy how long these vaccines will protect me and he said after the 2nd dose I should be protected for 4-6 months. What!!??? That's it? :omg: :omg: So, I doubt herd immunity will ever be reached by way of vaccines. It's hard enough to get people to vaccinate but now you want them to do it every 4-6 months? It doesn't feel like it's ever going to happen. I'm not sure it's even worth me getting the second dose now. If I do get Covid, it's unlikely to be bad. And he said natural immunities from getting Covid only last 3-4 months. Crazy.

I've been doing web dev for many years and all I ever add is jquery and a common js file. There's no need to build your own ui framework. Keep it simple.

:laugh: Too true. But that's essentially where all of our "knowledge" comes from.

That's got to be very frustrating. Sorry to hear that. You should try gardening, if you don't already. Less dependence on others is a good thing.

risk of vaccination vs. risk of none.

Hard to know for sure. There was just an article a couple of weeks ago that 100% of people in someplace in the UK that had recently gotten COVID were vaccinated. I don't remember the details.

It's very easy to tell if a parachute is to blame for someone falling to the earth and dying, knowing if a drug killed someone is much more difficult and there is a number of deaths that is considered allowable before it becomes a problem. Apples and oranges.

five factorial. Unless you were yelling at them. :-D

Ya, don't rub it in. :mad:

You're probably right. I don't have very good tools so that could be part of it.

That's amazing. I measure, measure, and measure again and then cut and I'm still off by a lot. :laugh: :doh:

most people that bother to vote on an issue like making pig farming more humane realize that it makes it more expensive.

That wasn't quite the argument, but we'll have to agree to disagree.

So we're just going to assume a bunch of people are hopelessly short sighted.

It's not clear if you understood what I meant to mean. But from your response, it would appear that you think most of the voters understood exactly what they were voting for. Surely you do not believe that, do you?

honey the codewitch wrote:

the bit I bolded before I'm having trouble reconciling that with your statement about a small cabal being actually responsible for this.

Because all the voters voted for was "treat pigs fairly." None of them actually read the bill and understood how many square feet would now be required under the new law and what the other provisions were and even if they would have, they wouldn't have know what the current provisions were nor what it would cost or take for a farmer to meet the new provisions.

OK, I'll byte. Why not? (Y!)

In my opinion, just JavaScript is not enough to know to be able to do much of anything. I would suggest learning backend technologies as well, maybe some php or .Net.

I'm not sure. I'd try both or google what's different about them.
