    What? You mean young children are not invulnerable to this after all?

    @geniusmusing Seeing how many people in #SoCal are getting #COVID-19, reading about nurses at hospitals dying from it, and talking to friends and family members that got it unexpectedly, my current plan is to get the vaccine within a week after it being made available to me. The toughest thing, IMO, is going to be going back on the specified date to get the 2nd part.

    Health worker in #WI deliberately spoils 500 doses of #COVID-19 vaccine.

    I'm wondering if this is someone that is concerned about the greatly shortened testing period that these vaccines have gone through. I saw someone recently talking about the potential for antibodies worsening the disease's effects in a year or two, saying that the accelerated testing period could allow such longer-term side-effects to slip through unnoticed until much of the world's population is already vaccinated.

    The "coronavirus is fake" people have a new talking point:

    > Death rates haven't risen.

    The problem with that is that it will be late next year before the 2020 numbers are finished. So what they're going by are estimates, often not even official ones, that will change as data comes in from all over the nation.

    No, the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus is real, and the disease it causes ( #COVID-19 or #2019-nCoV ) is real. There are some current restrictions that have not been shown to work, but some things do work:

    * physical distancing -- 2 meters or 6 feet appears to be far enough apart that most larger virus-laden droplets fall to the ground
    * face masks -- They reduce the amount of virus an infected person releases, but they also reduce the amount that one ingests. It does not have to be perfect. (Which was an issue early on, because official advice was to not wear masks. But by March, evidence was already coming in that masks help slow the spread.)
    * hand-washing -- For years, we've heard that a common vector for colds and influenza is hands touching surfaces with viruses on them, then touching one's eyes or nose.

    There are some others, but these three are well documented by now.

    Assuming these #COVID-19 vaccines provide long-lived protection (if you remember, just 2-3 months ago, there were questions about how long until reinfection can happen again after being infected), there are nearly 8 billion people in the world, and we need to get high (80%+) rates of vaccination everywhere. Until every village in Zimbabwe is vaccinated, there is still a chance for #SARS-CoV-2 or a closely related #coronavirus to reach out and take a bunch of lives.

According to "BGR":{https://bgr.com/2020/12/15/coronavirus-mutation-uk-strain/}, there's no indication the strain causes deadlier #COVID-19 than other strains, or that the new vaccines won't work against it.
