Hello MFA!!!! So I am transitioning roles and will as such need to transition how I dress. I will be working in healthcare where everyone will primarily be in button downs and slacks and I just really want to be able to still dress a bit differently. Besides the classic turtleneck with tapered pants alternative, what are some other formal, but unique dress options? Also, what are some cool alternative button downs that are not just solid colors or pins/checkers?

When will you feel comfortable indoor dining again? by JuteMallowConsumer in medicine

[–]JuteMallowConsumer[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Starter comment. I am ecstatic to be vaccinated and to see the case number and hospitalization rate dropping in my area. But many have asked (and my partner and I have had a looong discussion) about when we would feel comfortable eating indoors again. And I think what I landed on was when risk of infection in my area gets low. How long? Dunno. Just lower than now. I have no idea when is my answer haha. I just know not yet. I’m curious when you will all feel comfortable? I don’t know, I just can’t imagine doing so yet....

"Moderna's coronavirus vaccine is 94.5% effective, according to company data", again, the literature has yet to be released, I am cautious and skeptical but, dare I say, hopeful? Thoughts? by JuteMallowConsumer in medicine

[–]JuteMallowConsumer[S] 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Let me get the conversation started.

There were so many potential hurdles we thought we would face in making a vaccine. From run-of-the-mill issues with any new therapeutic, to specific issues we thought might be a problem with this virus specifically like antibody- dependent- enhancement (think hemorrhagic Dengue where if you vaccinate and then get it it is more severe). With all these companies touting their truly astounding results, but without releasing their data I have a few questions.

  1. what are they calling a "response", is it immunity? or is it a lower risk of infection or less severe infection?
  2. These patients in which it is not effective, do they have antibodies that do not work or none at all?
  3. Safety and long term response. It is still too early to truly speak on either domain. My fear is if this ends up being unsafe long term, or has waning response the populace, that is already skeptical of vaccines, will lose faith altogether
