Israel is also testing a new treatment drug. Very small sample but used on 30 people hospitalized with severe cases. 29 recovered. I know 30 people doesn’t make a study, but a good start
 
There is a wargaming convention I attend yearly in Lancaster PA in July and today, the convention director sent out an email updating the attendees and vendors. He told us as of now, the convention is still on and they are receiving literally daily updates from the convention hall director.

One thing that stood out to me was this; "Indoor events are still limited in size, social distancing is still in force (making space an issue), and going to Pennsylvania requires a negative COVID-19 test just before travel or a 14-day quarantine upon entering the state."

Can anyone who lives in PA speak to this; ie, is this true? So if I want to come to PA, I have to have a negative COVID test just before traveling OR I have to quarantine for 14 days once I enter the state? So in this case, short of a negative COVID test result, I'd have to get to the event two weeks prior and quarantine where? In a hotel room? In my van?

Any information would be appreciated...................

It looks like that may be true although it’s 10 days. See https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/disease/coronavirus/Pages/Travelers.aspx

Frankly, I’m curious how they enforce it. Is someone asking at the convention hall for your test results. I suppose that is possible. As John can attest, going to Hawaii requires a negative test before admittance. A friend who is going on vacation there (he and his wife have had their vaccinations) has to get his tests before he can enter the state.

There is no enforcement. For MD, we don't have to worry about it b/c it is a neighboring State. Additionally, if you are driving in, I don't see how they would enforce it. As I previously posted, I have not had an issue with shows, etc. Anything including the York Gun Show I attended this weekend has been well managed which is a good thing.

They have signs along the highways that are providing information along those lines. If you are just passing through PA, it probably isn't a big deal. Mostly an honor system. But for a planned event at some facility - who knows? Some places like restaurants and convention centers are subject to oversight if they are not making an effort to enforce the rules. Someone reports them and they are kaput. We have a nutty governor.
 
I'm last on the list of candidates in MA (under 65, no conditions), I hope by the time my turns comes (late Spring? late Summer/early Fall?), it's available at my doctors office/CVS vs going to some cattle call at Gillette Stadium.................AND, I get the J & J one, only ONE dose and it's more effective vs the new strains they've already found...........................
 
I'm up for my second dose of Moderna next week. I've heard many antidotal stories that the second dose is more likely to produce side effects such as chills than the first dose. So we shall see. The only reaction I had to the first dose was a sore arm for a couple of days.
 
I'm almost 66 and I had no adverse effects from the 2nd shot...
the first one made my arm sore for a day or two...
the booster...nada...not even soreness...
 
George...

if the J&J is more effective against the new strain...
that's a pretty big deal...
I would not hesitate to take the J&J...
if you can get it...
 
The J & J is 72% effective in the US and 64% effective against the South African strain. It’s advantage is that it requires only one shot and can be stored in regular freezers, thereby making distribution easier than the other two vaccines.

How would they enforce this?

Is someone going to walk up out of nowhere and demand a copy of your negative test?

Never mind the fact that there are multiple agencies/companies etc. that offer the test, how would they know the results were valid?

And more importantly how would they know you are from out of the state?
 
Received my second dose of Moderna today. So far so good. There was almost no one at the facility where I received it. No wait at all.

That's good news. Maybe those of us who don't have comorbidities can get the vaccine soon.
 
I’d love to see them vaccinate from the bottom up with the jnj vaccine. Use moderna and Pfizer for the most at risk population and work down. Then meet in the middle
 
Received my first vaccination yesterday . . . Got the Pfizer. Scheduled for my second shot on 3/21. Feeling good about this.

US prisoners are once again entitled to stimulus checks under the pending bill. There are about 2 million of them. So that means about $3 billion in stimulus funds will go to folks sitting in jail. And I can only imagine the corruption of the officials who run these prisons and funnel this money to them. A hefty cut. What a country.
 
I saw the governor of Texas has lifted the mask mandate and is going to open up most businesses again.

Our governor here has lifted a lot of the restrictions, he's allowing crowds back at Bruins and Celtics games as well as Red Sox games and is opening up a lot of businesses.

I think needless to say that right or wrong, COVID fatigue is a real thing, the feeling is enough is enough.
 
Biden announced yesterday that regular adults without any comorbidities will have access to the vaccine in May. I understand Covid fatigue, but we are two months away from relative safety. We just need a little more patience and herd immunity from the vaccine can put this mess to bed.
