WSJ News Exclusive | Covid Spurs Biggest Rise in Life-Insurance Payouts in a Century
Death-benefit payments rose 15.4% in 2020 to $90.43 billion, mostly due to the pandemic, according to the American Council of Life Insurers. It’s the sharpest rise since 1918.

Seems however that I was too quick to post. Payouts are not nearly what they were in 1918 and have not yet triggered noticeable rises in the cost if policies.

Wife and I had a hankering for Chinese food. We went to our favorite place in off hours. High ceilings, generously separated tables, guests seated proportionately.
Luck of the draw had us just behind another couple.
The woman had a persistent and nasty cough. Now the food can be spicy, people choke a bit but this was an open, un obstructed bark of a cough, over and over again.
The food was ordered, too late to leave but I grew angry.
Don't fucking go to a fucking restaurant with a cough no matter the reason.
It is rude in a pandemic of respiratory disease to go out.
Bitch made comments under her breath but not so we couldn't hear.
Now we wait for a few days in concern.
During h1n1 a family took their choking nose running kids to a pizza place and I confronted the parents.
My wife stopped me from doing it this time.
Oh but "my body my choice" right?

That is the point. Antibody dependent enhancement doesn't much alter transmisability. It just sickens more profoundly

It’s now the restaurants in our area that are vectors which is devastating for these guys if they have to be shuttered again

The importance of Canada’s 1st home-grown COVID-19 vaccine
Quebec company Medicago is getting ready to submit data about its COVID-19 vaccine for final regulatory approval, which is a significant step for the pandemic and Canada's bio-pharmaceutical industry.

Michigan. Stay safe. It sounds pretty bad.
Covid-19 patients at this hospital are dying 'at a rate we've never seen die before'
"The next few weeks look hard. We're over 100% capacity right now," Dover said.
"Most hospitals and health systems in the state of Michigan have gone to code-red triage, which means they won't accept transfers. And as we go into the holidays, if the current growth rate that we're at today, we would expect to see 200 in-patient Covid patients by the end of the month -- on a daily basis."

Solid support for boosters in that otherwise dreadful bit of news. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. It sounds like the healthcare workers are so tired they are numb.
Stay safe.

Nurse Katie Sefton never thought Covid-19 could get this bad -- and certainly not this late in the pandemic.

The health workers here deserve a medal of honour and a place in the history books. Recently took my partner by ambulance and they were amazing from the start to end and what they had to deal with re crazy fucking assholes was incredible and still able to show compassion. This was all witnessed by her as I was not allowed to accompany herMichigan. Stay safe. It sounds pretty bad.

We are lucky the highly contagious delta struck when it did, at least we have vaccines, imagine what it would be like if we didn't have vaccines and now treatments! At least now the healthcare workers don't need to worry about dying on the job and a major stressor has been removed, also they have better treatments now and more of them. However there is no cure for stupidity and that is mostly what we are dealing with, the unvaxxed. Now there is more of a choice over life and death for those with brains anyway.The health workers here deserve a medal of honour and a place in the history books.

I found around here that mask compliance is still high, but folks are forgetting social distancing in public. Before kids became eligible we had a 91% single dose vaxx rate for 12+ in NS and I expect most eligible kids to be vaxxed by the new year.
