COVID-19 Lockdowns Caused Cleaner Air – And Warmed the Planet

Well fuck.. What are we supposed to do now since lockdowns cause actually global warming?
If anyone ever tells you the science is solved, they are grossly ignorant or politically indoctrinated...when I was an undergraduate environmental science student 45+ years ago, it was believed that atmospheric pollution would lead to an ice age...mebbe it wasn't all BS...National Geographic has an article on the earth's rotation and climate...applying the principle of Uniformitarianism, this could explain stuff...or not...

Earth's odd rotation may solve an ancient climate mystery (nationalgeographic.com)


Edited to rephrase.
 
Hearing good things about the upcoming Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

Only one shot.

May require future booster shots.

No known side affects from shot.

In 100%...yes, 100% of cases this version has prevented death and/or hospitalization.

Waiting on FDA approval
 
The UAE is inching towards a new lockdown as Dubai closes some types of businesses and Abu Dhabi is restricting malls and theaters down to 40% capacity. Meanwhile, 4 million doses have been administered in a country of less than 11 million. Even cutting that in half to account for two shots per person, almost 10% of the country has been vaccinated? 40.53 vaccinations per 100 people according to their numbers, so now we're back up to 40-ish percent?

I figure we have about 3-4 weeks before it becomes mandatory.

Which vaccines are they running over there? I got the Moderna a couple weeks ago and felt zero side effects. The arm pain didn't even feel as bad as some others made it out to be. Shot 2 is coming up, but I'm on the fence of whether or not I want to jump through hoops to get it.

Small amounts of Pfizer's, but mostly Sinopharm's. The Sputnik is approved for emergency usage and no, we don't have a choice in which one we receive.

I had no issues with moderma #2, some had slight effects....but I think it’s worth finishing the vaccine.

Local command here offered vax to volunteers but so few signed up they opened it up to ALL personal regardless of affiliation. Apparently there were so few takers, vax availability was opened up to ANYONE on base.

I‘ve abstained so far because I think I’ve already had the Wuhu flu back in Mar when testing wasn’t widely available. I typically get sick at the drop of a hat and as much COVID that has been around the command (and in the local area), I’m sure I’ve been exposed.

Well, none of the virtue signallers have had an anthrax shot or a small pox shot...soooo this probably feels like the flu shot. :rolleyes:
