Hi everyone. I just saw the announcement that 50% of Americans are fully vaccinated, as of today!

i was lucky enough to have been vaccinated almost 2 months ago. hope everyone is well

1:11 am

vashongin

I am one of the 50% then!! I just got to see my oldest daughter today. I haven't seen her for months and this was the first time without masks.

1:13 am

joym999

It was so hard not seeing family. I didn't see my dad for more than a year -- it's the longest I've gone in my life without seeing him. So great that we can do that again!

1:33 am

joym999

too sleepy for this g'night all

3:23 am

mattygroves

I get my second vaccination on Tuesday. It was supposed to be on the 10th but I got a text from the NHS suggesting I might like to get it earlier, so I am. Remember, the UK has typically had 12 weeks between shots

5:13 am

crosshair

Here, we are also at just over 50% with at least the first dose on board, but our fully vaccinated still only sits at around 6%. Seems that June and July with be ur time for second doses.

5:15 am

crosshair

My second dose seems slated for August. :/

5:20 am

mattygroves

We're at 74.2% first dose and 47.3% second dose - but those percentages are of the adult population. We're not (yet) vaccinating children

5:23 am

crosshair

Ours is total population (12 and older)

5:23 am

crosshair

our vaccination rollout was a shambles :(

5:26 am

crosshair

We will not hit your numbers till August (all things working as they should)

5:39 am

mattygroves

The vaccine programme is about the only thing that went right here - and that was run by the NHS, not the government

6:22 am

ItalianGreyhound

fun C words this morning!

6:28 am

MollyL

Question...isn't the longest recommended interval between vaccine shots 42 days? Or does that vary from country to country?

6:29 am

bojazz

determined by manufacturer, I think...

6:45 am

MollyL

Okay, that explains it. That is a US interval, since the US has not approved the Astra-Zenca vaccine as yet.

good morning everyone.

7:48 am

MLFAN17

nbt good morning cyber

7:49 am

MLFAN17

oh oops, 2nd column first a stats pls/

7:50 am

BzznBea

ar4.8 and at4.5

7:50 am

cybernan

read the chat -- still looking for the pi 7. Matty made a good point -- I think the covid response has been much better where it is being run by a health service rather than the government. It is nice to see that something good can happen when politics are removed from the equation.

7:51 am

MLFAN17

ty bzz

7:52 am

MollyL

Isn't the National Health Service run by the government? Hence "national"?

7:52 am

bojazz

the private sector will always out perform governments...

7:53 am

cybernan

In Canada Health services are run by the provincial governments, not the federal government.

7:53 am

cybernan

* At least for the day to day administration

7:56 am

BzznBea

pi7 is a liquid measure + the last three of the keyboard instument

7:58 am

cybernan

So in some provinces the response is being run by the provincial ministry of health (ie the politicians) and in some it is the provincial health authority, part of the civil service.

7:59 am

cybernan

MLFAN17

ty fo rthe pi7

8:03 am

moule

Agree cybernan, the local level allows responses that fit the local issues. Canada is so diverse a national policy is hard to locally adapt

8:03 am

moule

In Ontario the local response has been better than at the federal level

8:05 am

cybernan

in BC it is all ministry of health with the health officer rather than the minister taking the lead. Our Premier shows his face only when law enforcement back up for the regulations is included

8:11 am

12:39 pm

cybernan

we used to get detentions

12:40 pm

cybernan

got it - ty zoom and joy

12:40 pm

zoozzoom

I got a CA 6 twice while I was at school.

12:40 pm

zoozzoom

And I was on whole a good lad ha!

12:41 pm

cybernan

our schools banned corporal punishment sometime in the 40's, I think

12:43 pm

joym999

fortunately it was banned where I grew up, or I would have been black and blue

12:43 pm

zoozzoom

I told one lad I thought his dad was a wa 6 (rude word) as his dad shouted at me to get out of the way of his car outside the school as I was going into the school. He told the headmaster and when he asked me I said exactly what I told the lad and I got punished for it haha!

12:43 pm

cybernan

gee zoom -- there is some really great swampland for sale up the road from us...

12:45 pm

joym999

hint for that AA word?

12:45 pm

cybernan

Did the kid turn out to be as big an as 7 (another rude word) as his father?

12:46 pm

cybernan

oohing's partner, joy

12:46 pm

zoozzoom

The second time I was standing in the queue for our school meals when from behind a boy punched the back of my head for no reason so I put my leg behind his and pushed him over. We both got punsihed for it.

12:47 pm

zoozzoom

To be honest, Nan I do not know what happened to hom in the end. I kind of steered clear of him and his friends.

12:47 pm

joym999

thanks, nan.

12:48 pm

zoozzoom

Finally my meal is ready. Nice to chat to you. bye!

12:49 pm

cybernan

bye zoom

12:58 pm

AtlKru

i remember one of the teacher's kids had 7 classes with me. every class he harassed me constantly. no teacher did anything about it. right before the 7th class, he started touching me while he harassed me. i couldn't get away from him. period 7 is his mother's class. i put him into a locker. he hit me once and it was broken up. he never messed with me again.

12:58 pm

AtlKru

i think schools should bring back the paddle

1:04 pm

cybernan

there is a better solution than that! -- just tell the parents that if their kids can't or won't behave and show proper respect for others in school, the parents will have to arrange for home schooling.

1:07 pm

joym999

There's a lot of research to show that physical punishment of children is useless at changing behavior. Why do something that doesn't work just because it makes you feel better to punish someone?

1:09 pm

joym999

That's a good situation when the behavior is willful, nan, but sometimes kids can't behave because they have mental or physical problems, or simply something basic like they're hungry. You're right that if the school can't give the kid whatever they need that the kid needs to go someplace that can.

1:10 pm

MLFAN17

ka 5 clue pls?

1:11 pm

cybernan

I found that quite often bad behavour in the classroom was a bid for the attention they weren't getting at home. Quite often finding some way to make the parents sit up and take notice brought an improvement.

1:11 pm

joym999

there's a KA5 clue in the chat from about an hour ago

1:11 pm

cybernan

weight of diamonds mlf

1:12 pm

cybernan

na 6/18 please?

1:12 pm

MLFAN17

ty

1:13 pm

MLFAN17

looking with you cyber

1:13 pm

joym999

that's good when it works, nan, for sure. I have a friend who's a juvenile court judge and she says that almost all the kids she sees either have undiagnosed learning disorders or (surprisingly, to me) need dental work.

1:14 pm

joym999

but that's kids who are in very serious trouble. most have been thrown out of multiple schools

1:15 pm

cybernan

learning disablilites do create problems, I agree, but those that wind up in juvenile court are not the majority of misbehavers.

1:16 pm

joym999

no, they're not, fortunately. Also schools are getting much much better at testing and diagnosing learning disorders.

1:17 pm

MLFAN17

does anyone have ni 6 or na 6 yet i need those to finish the n words?

1:18 pm

cybernan

ni 6? there is no ni 6

1:18 pm

MLFAN17

oh 5 sorry

1:18 pm

cybernan

no 5 : change middle letter in a japanese camera

1:20 pm

hokie carla

na6 ends in 80s sci-fi movie

1:20 pm

joym999

just found the na 6. No idea what it means. sounds like some kind of robot

1:21 pm

joym999

no5???

1:21 pm

hokie carla

and there was a Charlotte Panther last name Means (if you want to google) that was na7, drop the last

1:21 pm

joym999

there isn't any no5, I meant to say.

1:22 pm

AtlKru

talking to a kid acting out is one thing. bullying is a personality trait. i say punish them. me being bullied as a kid basically messed me up the rest of my life.

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

can we PLEASE clue these two words again???

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

no6 and na 5

1:23 pm

cybernan

in the 80's I was too busy riding herd on 3 teenagers and working half days -- no time for movies even if I was inclined to watch sci-fi

1:23 pm

joym999

they don't exist, MLFAN. there isn't an no6 and there isn't an na5.

1:24 pm

AtlKru

nan i was born in the 80's XD

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

NA 6 whatever the stats are for the other so sorry

1:25 pm

joym999

there's several clues just below for the NA6. It's hard to clue.

1:25 pm

cybernan

another clue for that na 6 please?

1:26 pm

hokie carla

I gave 2, but the other requires googling

1:26 pm

MLFAN17

joy says it sounds like some kind of robot

1:27 pm

hokie carla

because she's thinking of the sci-fi movie

1:27 pm

hokie carla

there was a reboot in 2010. FTR, I've never seen either one

1:27 pm

cybernan

so it doesn't have a letter combo that allow a breakdown clue

1:28 pm

hokie carla

jeff bridges was in both

1:28 pm

hokie carla

no, I don't see how it's possible to do a breakdown clue without just telling you all the letters

1:28 pm

AtlKru

so many foreign language words in here.. too bad they dont count

1:28 pm

hokie carla

ends in not off, how's that

1:28 pm

cybernan

only sci-fi movies I ever watched were Star WArs and Space Odyssey

1:29 pm

MLFAN17

finally got the NA 6

1:29 pm

cybernan

it remains a blank for me

1:29 pm

MLFAN17

for the time that was a great movie otherwise very cheesy

1:30 pm

AtlKru

how does that clue work? ends in jeff bridges movie/

1:30 pm

MLFAN17

cyber which one?

1:31 pm

MLFAN17

1:31 pm

hokie carla

1:31 pm

cybernan

don't think I've ever watched one of his movies

1:32 pm

AtlKru

thanks. that ovie was one of my favs. i watch it every 5 years these days

1:32 pm

hokie carla

nan does not abide

1:33 pm

AtlKru

daft punk did the soundtrack for the version that came out in 2010

1:34 pm

cybernan

well you all seem to be bent on giving clues around sci-fi and movies, so I guess I will move on

1:34 pm

joym999

nan, carla gave you another clue that has nothing to do w/ scifi, below.

1:34 pm

hokie carla

I gave you one not related to sci-fi and another that you could easily google not sci-fi

1:35 pm

hokie carla

not my fault you refuse to google 😜

1:36 pm

AtlKru

nana there's a crypto coin called this.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

now I didn't even know that

1:36 pm

cybernan

abide to me means to live or dwell -- don't see anything like that

1:37 pm

hokie carla

that wasn't a clue

1:37 pm

hokie carla

it's a famous line from a different jeff bridges movie

1:37 pm

AtlKru

the particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom - minus the power part of it

1:38 pm

AtlKru

na + particle

A friend already took a lot of boxes and extras over to the apartment for me. My apartment is looking pretty empty.

hokie carla

a good friend

4:21 pm

sukee

She has been amazing, helping me clean all the junk out

4:22 pm

sukee

Her, her boyfriend and her sister have all helped. They are now in my bubble. It's allowed since I'm alone :)

4:24 pm

hokie carla

you got at least one dose of vaccine didn't you? I can't remember who all has.

4:28 pm

hokie carla

what size bubble are y'all allowed now? for the record I think you're fine. :D

4:30 pm

sukee

Well, they are considered a family. They have all had their first shot, I get mine on Thursday. I had planned to get mine last month but I was sick that day and didn't think it was a good idea to go.

4:31 pm

sukee

And good news here is that they are shortening the time people have to wait for their second shot. It was up to 4 months at one time.

4:31 pm

hokie carla

yeah, they ask when you go if you're feeling sick, so probably a good idea.

4:32 pm

hokie carla

wow

6:54 pm

MollyL

The vaccines that are approved in the US have a shorter interval than 4 months.
