New vaccines ready by next summer which is plenty of time for another new variant to come out... we are gonna regret not rolling out the first gen of vaccines more widely. The same way we are regretting not making HIV meds more widely available and letting millions of people become incubators for pandemic pathogens because money...

Maybe we'll do it by the 2nd gen.

Maybe he meant it doesn't look good for Moderna.

Nice that my company doesn't match until 12/15 every year.

Then again if it crashes, I get more shares. lol

I've never heard of that. I guess that's one way to cull some money from the quitters...

That's a new one to me too, usually the matching goes in the same time as your paycheck deduction. I have heard if you specify a percentage (for HR's that only work in percentages of salary) and you go over the legal max they just stop deducting when you hit the max so you end up not dollar cost averaging the end of the year.

Greasy · Nov 30, 2021, 06:42 PM

It used to be quarterly, then they made it yearly to help cut costs for people that leave before the EOY. It's bullshit.

Crawdaddy79 · Nov 30, 2021, 09:09 PM

Found this graphic buried (but not) in NY Times site.

I've not seen anything like it before; apparently it's been updating since it was first created in Feb. Will watch for Omicron takeover.

Lots more information about mutations, genetic sequencing... the weeds about what makes a variant a variant. I like to read it and pretend I understand it.

Tested positive today, first time yet.. That I know of. Mild symptoms was vaccinated back in march.

I'm slightly annoyed that the Covid pay is no longer a thing though. I know so many people that abused it.. Twice. Here I do everything right, and I don't get squat. Don't really 'need' it, but the fact that I have to lose pay because I get it now is kinda frustrating.

Quote:

LEDUC – As part of ongoing pandemic response measures, national coffee chain Tim Hortons has confirmed that employees will not be allowed to spit into the Iced Capp machine until they’ve had two doses of an approved Covid vaccine.

“We understand that our customers across the country are concerned about restaurant cleanliness and hygiene right now,” said Ned Seagram, Director of Operations at Tim Hortons. “That’s why we’re proud to announce that we will be continuing with important pandemic safety measures, like plexiglass barriers, social distancing between customers, and requiring all employees to present proof of immunization to management before they’re permitted to hock a fat loogie into the machines that make your drinks.”

Employees at Tim Hortons locations across the country have responded favourably to the news, which they say already aligns with their strict standards of workplace hygiene.

“This is totally fine,” said an employee at the Edmonton International Airport location as he dragged his testicles across a tray of fresh Honey Cruller donuts. “I’ve actually had my third booster shot, so we’re good.”

In a follow-up announcement, Tim Hortons confirmed that employees who received mixed doses of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines will still be eligible to spit into the frozen drinks, while employees who received the one-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine will be restricted to sprinkling pubic hairs inside individual breakfast sandwiches.

I mean this should come as no surprise but Omicron is already in the States:

Quote:

The infected individual returned to the state from South Africa on Nov. 22 and tested positive Monday, federal health officials said. The person was fully vaccinated and experienced mild symptoms that are improving.

I like the mild symptoms part. Hope that stays the norm with Omi

Might have been our wives combined.

**Cyko** · Dec 1, 2021, 07:39 PM

Got the booster yesterday. Feel like absolute garbage today. Didn’t feel this bad with either of the two previous shots, though this booster was Moderna and my initial 2 were Pfizer. Not my choice though, it’s all that’s available around here.

Yeah that booster sucked ass. I hope that wasn't for naught. Homicron is here! Yes, I'm calling it Homicron, cause I can damnit.
