I thought we didn't trust any "facts" and "data" that came from China a few months ago when they were reporting 0 cases?

Yep. It wouldn't spread far an wide like it has if it couldn't do so that way. So I call bs on it.

This means only one thing. That this strain has probably been here for a minute already.

I just learned that a father and son I know both died of COVID. The son was 62 and died on Christmas day. The father was 85 and died yesterday.

We're never going to see the end of this, are we?! 
GF got the Pfizer vaccine today. I see that talking less isn't a side effect
Unlikely.We're never going to see the end of this, are we?!

Maybe I'm overly optimistic or --------, but I think by end of summer we will be back close to normal (excluding the third testicle the vaccine causes us to grow).
You may be right, but it think the virus will still be around. Join me in the Conspiracy thread.

On my way batmanYou may be right, but it think the virus will still be around. Join me in the Conspiracy thread.
Can someone help me understand something? If the virus isn't going to go away and is going to become endemic as the experts say, how can we also achieve immunity?
“The likely scenario is the virus will become another endemic virus that will remain somewhat of a threat,” Ryan said.
“It’s going to take till the end of 2021 till we start seeing some level of population immunity coming up in some countries,” Swaminathan said last week.
And if the vaccines do not prevent you from getting the virus what good are they? Really?
“I don’t believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on,” Swaminathan said.
SARS-Cov2 is apparently the only virus in history that you can be vaccinated for and still have to remain on lockdown.
What a bizarre world we live in now.

I mean, I know the vaccine should hopefully protect you from getting super sick, as long as it works against future mutations, but apparently there is nothing that allows restrictions to go away before some magical, ever changing futuristic date.

My sister in Lillington just called to tell me that her entire household is COVID positive. This includes herself, her husband, her two young adult children and an adult brother and sister who have been living there for a couple of months. She says they're all pretty sick.

Interesting . She got the shot and tested positive a week later . She could have already had it at the time of the shot

Vaccinated U.S. nurse contracts COVID-19, expert says Pfizer shot needed more time to work - ABC
A nurse in California tested positive for COVID-19 more than a week after receiving Pfizer Inc's vaccine, an ABC News affiliate reported https://bit.ly/2L8iBel on Tuesday, but a medical expert and the U.S. drug maker said the body needs more time to build up protection.

Well, like the flu shot, you need two weeks to build up immunity. It's not a surprise. Of course people reading this story, some of them are going to think it's pointless now.

Just FYI: my sister just said that her husband has "the new strain." According to her this was told to them as part of the test results. I'm only passing along the info. I don't know exactly what she means by that. I take it to mean the new strain that has been in the news lately for mainly the UK but also in Colorado recently, but I don't really know.

I started thinking yesterday when they announced the Colorado case that maybe this new strain has been here a while. This would help explain the post thanksgiving explosion in cases?

My guess is if this is indeed the case it will be reported via the news (i.e. new strain confirmed in NC or some such thing).

I dunno about that but I'd think the post Thanksgiving explosion of cases was cause people gathered for Thanksgiving and wasn't careful in the homes of people they visited. Same with the explosion of cases we're likely to see because of Christmas.
I don’t know, the current explosion of cases really started in early to mid October. Thanksgiving’s reporting delays made it seem like it was leveling off around the holiday, but I think that’s just a holiday artifact.

Family member that I live with has tested positive. I’m getting tested on January 2 and expect to test positive. Nothing too bad symptom wise for any of us, all mild.
It's going to be everywhere, and it's going to keep mutating.

Unchecked spread leads to more oppurtunities to mutate
Isn't most of the western world in masks and under some form of lockdown?
Shaggy

No. I still see tons of people without masks and traffic and business as usual is the norm. I went by texas.roadhouse the other night and the entire parking lot was full and actually overflowing Into a neighboring parking lot.

Good to see people working.
All the restaurants around here are operating in limited capacity, if they're open at all. Lots of places have a big to go business. And everywhere I go, I see most people in masks. Up in the country where my mom lives, you'll see more groups without them. But there's still more wearing them.
Come on down to Harnett where it's 50/50 on a good day
Today I drove from Alabama to North Carolina and everywhere I stopped people had masks on.
One thing I've noticed about this virus is that the people who think we need to lock down more hardly ever see people social distancing and wearing masks. And people who think we need to open up see people with masks everywhere.
Another thing I've noticed is that places where the lockdowns and mandates are the strictest seem to do little better than places where restrictions are less. And there is always a different excuse for this.
