In many places they anal swab EVERY inpatient to look for CPE. My guess is that China is likely just swabbing people who would get an anal swab anyway, rqther than butt-sticking randos

Some slightly positive news for our bars and restaurants today.
A property owner had gone to court, to ask permission to evict two bars / restaurants, because they hadn't paid rent in months.
The bar and restaurant's defense in court was they didn't pay the rent because of corona (bars and pubs were closed during the first lockdown, briefly re-opened in summer, and closed again in october, so yeah, duh, they can't pay rent because they have had zero income for about a year now)
The judge ruled that they cannot be evicted, and also ruled that the property owner can only charge half of the normal rent for as long as the lockdown continues.

This verdict will have massive consequences, all bars and pubs can now demand their rent is halved. Perhaps all retail stores too, although those have only been closed for a few months now.

Good news for those people who are afraid of having things shoved up their nose and throat!
In North China, people are now being tested for corona anally.
According to Chinese scientist, using anal samples can detect corona in people who tested negative on throat and nose swabs.

Really, if they were putting tracking devices anywhere, your colon is a really good place to put them. They can track so many things from your offput that they couldn't if it was under your skin

Nah, to withstand the extreme wear and tear it'd have to be too robust to be economical. Subdermal wouldn't have to withstand nearly as much periodic traumatic force as intra-anal.

Here in kangaroo land we're holding out well against further waves. I'm sad we've paused the travel bubble with the kiwis, but I'm hopeful we'll be back to importing half their population over here soon.

Makes sense, if those tests are indeed capable of letting less infections slip through unnoticed, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole world switches to anal testing as the standard.

Mother in law had Pfizer dose 1 today. So far, she hasn't turned into a Microsoft KillbotTM.

The Pfizer vaccine seems to be doing it's job as well as predicted by the testing phase. 92% Effectiveness in Israel, where nearly a third of the population has been vaccinated (about 18% received their second dose by now).

I strongly recommend to stockpile food, paracetamol, and ibuprofen  if you're getting the pfizer vaccine, esp the second shot. There's a  good chance you wont be doing very much for 1 or 2 days

A friend of mine who is a neurologist at a hospital in my area, had her 1st shot a few weeks ago. She had no side effects except the pretty standard minor bruising around the injection spot.

She's getting her second dose coming week, let's hope she doesn't have your experience.

How was your first shot?
