Gurn Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) IDIOTS! https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/covidiots-overwhelm-florida-s-miami-beach-in-spring-break-swarm/ar-BB1eQtwb?ocid=msedgntp Spring has sprung, the birds are singing, the pandemic is raging and the so-called “Covidiots” are flocking to the beaches of Florida once more, continuing a tradition that drew much scorn in the earliest weeks of the coronavirus outbreak last year. State and city officials in Miami Beach, Fla., initially courted the crowds, but they panicked on Saturday after hundreds of mostly unmasked spring breakers swarmed over the famous Ocean Drive strip. The city declared a state of emergency, set an 8 p.m. curfew and dispatched police to break up the party shortly after the declaration.

Gelber was responsible for setting the curfew. He also ordered that Ocean Drive be closed to all foot and vehicle traffic after curfew for four nights a week until at least April 12. "Too many are coming, really, without the intention of following the rules, and the result has been a level of chaos and disorder that is just something more than we can endure," Gelber told CNN over the weekend. Spring breakers came out in force again on Sunday, sparking mockery and anger as images poured out on social media. "Today's center of the #COVIDIOTS universe is Miami Beach, Florida," one popular tweet read, along with an overhead photo of the crowd. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, has repeatedly boasted about the state's lack of lockdowns or mask mandates, and has been encouraging tourism despite the pandemic. “If you look at South Florida right now, this place is booming,” DeSantis said last month. “Los Angeles isn’t booming. New York City isn’t booming.” Miami also recently spent $5 million on a major national advertising campaign to push tourism in the area.

City Manager Raul Aguila said many people from other states were coming in “to engage in lawlessness and an ‘anything goes’ party attitude.” He said most weren’t patronizing the businesses that badly need tourism dollars. Instead, visitors were gathering by the thousands to party in the street. Miami Beach Police said more than 1,000 people have been arrested this spring break season, with about 80 guns seized.

Stephen Hunter Johnson, chairman of Miami-Dade’s Black Affairs Advisory Board, compared the Miami Beach crackdown to the lighter treatment that spring breakers are seeing on South Padre Island, another popular party spot in Texas. “It’s the same group of kids that are in South Padre Island right now, except those kids happen to be white,” he told the Times. “We have to realize that we are definitely fighting an undertone of racism,” DeAnne Connolly Graham, a member of Miami Beach’s Black Affairs Advisory Committee, told the Miami Herald. She spoke in particular about local white residents who complained about "animals" and "thugs" invading their town on social media. Gelber defended the use of force during a public meeting on Sunday. “When hundreds of people are running through the streets panicked, you realize that’s not something that a police force can control,” he said. The Miami Beach scenes resembled the early days of the pandemic, when college-age revellers defied coronavirus rules to party in Florida last spring. "Covidiots" became a popular insult for such behaviour, particularly after one news report from the scene went viral.

Wolfgang Durst Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 NIAID Statement on AstraZeneca Vaccine Late Monday, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) notified NIAID, BARDA, and AstraZeneca that it was concerned by information released by AstraZeneca on initial data from its COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial. The DSMB expressed concern that AstraZeneca may have included outdated information from that trial, which may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy data. We urge the company to work with the DSMB to review the efficacy data and ensure the most accurate, up-to-date efficacy data be made public as quickly as possible. ouch, again negative newsflow related to AZ vaccine. Something must be wrong with this company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 21,000 people in the US trial with very good results is what I'm looking at, as this is probably the one my wife will get, she's in post-secondary, its not clear when they will get the shot yet tho. My in-laws got their 1st shot yesterday tho, so thats a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main difference seems to be that you may still get a mild case but you won't be in hospital. Works for me. I just hope by this time next year we're lining up for a made in Canada shot. If we don't come out of this with at least that, people have sacrificed too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if there were no such thing as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. All there is, is AZ, and it has 80% against mild, and 100% against serious illness. People wouldn't be hesitant at all. These are great numbers from the American trials. But a double edged sword, that it will probably take us longer to get our 20 million. It would be great if we could get 5-10 million of them by June.
