You need to visit Austin when you and your spouse return to Texas, and while I may not be able to run, we can walk and enjoy some cold ones at Jester King.
I think you’ll hit 50% immunity in a week, and will climb to like 75% by the time you get dose 2 then climb to 90% 2 weeks after that
So 1-dose this morning and waiting 42 days is still awesome
to women in science. Specifically, Jennifer Doudna and Emanuelle Charpentier who developed the CRISP-Cas9 process on which the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are based. It is hard to imagine what things would be like if this pandemic had occurred ten or more years ago.
Keep your chin up. You're almost there!
My 90 year old mother in law near Duesseldorf got her first shot on Easter Sunday.
May the improving vaccination rate and the joys of spring weather lead to a summer of Gemuetlichkeit und Bier.
Let’s go for a run...
I hope to be back in the groove by then. I've been missing running/cycling as I've been sidelined with apparently a rather nasty bacterial sinus infection for a while, but we have it heading in the right direction.
Hope it makes getting through the rest of the school year a little easier.
We are in until July 2nd. Hopefully...
Bout damn time.
I think the delay in the second dose is a second order matter. That seems to be the experience in the U.K. at least.
I have seen some data that show that protection is really high two weeks after the first dose. I'm happy to wait on the second, and am looking forward to seeing my folks this summer.
My kids and my students are hitting a wall right now. I really hope that we ease outdoor contact restrictions based on new information about aerosols (that we kinda already knew, but in Germany, you have to wait for confirmation).
Mask up, everyone. We are almost there.
Normal being eating inside restaurants, and hosting small groups of friends/neighbors inside.
Even outdoor dining is closed until at least May 9th. Probably longer. I hope not, though--I need to get back to the Biergartens soon.
Contact restrictions here say only one person may visit an additional household. That will probably be a friend of one of my kids.
G18 relayed a story to me yesterday of a friend who hosted an 18th birthday "party" with some friends of hers.
There were four people, all of whom work together all day. It was in a large barn. The neighbors called the police.
To be fair, the cop showed up, had a chuckle, told the other three to go home, and said he wouldn't come back if they promised not to do it again.
But there is no "back to normal" for us for a while. It's just rough here.
The Germans need a partial antonym for Schadenfreude, wherein one feels shameless joy for someone else's success.
