Covid is not a highly virulent pathogen. Virulence means severity, like things with 80% CFR rates becoming things with 100% CFR rates.

I give 40% raises for this reason. So stupid to let your best people walk out the door. Just shower them with cash!

I have a model Y 7 seater, it's actually not bad in the third row. Kids totally fine, small adults for short trips. Over six feet would hit the roof though.

For the people in the back: intramuscular vaccines do not precent viral reproduction in your nose, meaning you can still spread a virus. Only nasal delivery prevents it. We need nasal boosters, not more intramuscular shots.

For the people in the back: intramuscular vaccines do not necessarily reduce viral load in your nasal passage but do make it much harder for the virus to reproduce in worse places. Nasal vaccines would do this which is why we need them for

Nutrient density. Organisms will consume as much nutrient sources as needed to meet micronutrient requirements. If food gets less micro dense, as it has, our bodies are compelled to eat more until our needs are met.

You know now that we know diseases can be magically solved in two months of science we can't let them off the hook. Why not solve it by next fall?
