    I just tested positive on a home test. I had been in contact with several people who tested positive which is why I took the test. (plus they were just available in the drug store today.) I have had a cough and runny nose for a couple of weeks but tested two weeks ago and was negative. I guess I will sit at home on this message board for a couple of days.

    You really don't understand math, do you?

    I did get an 800 on the GRE when it was out of 800. But you analyze the data the way you want to. There is a reason omicron does not care if you are vaccinated. Or have natural immunity for that matter (delta natural immunity meant something). And math has nothing to do with it…

    No they did the work for you and gave you age normalized data. It's right in the link you posted. Do you not understand it?

    Either you don't understand it, which is kind of embarrassing for someone who had college level math, or you are deliberately misrepresenting data on a public forum that you know causes people to die, but you do it anyway because of some political identity motive.

    Which is it?

    Are you serious? It's all about math.

    But that makes it look like the vaccines are effective, so clearly the math is wrong here?

    Thanks for doing this. Clearly you understand math. But you are a doc, I'm an accountant. I'm assuming Q is a fashion designer.

    Q quoted the data so I assume he trusts it. I can only guess that Q thinks the liberal deep state establishment inserted that fake column in there.

    Bingo. AZ is not our vaccine. Like I said upthread this morning. Apples and oranges.

    Not actually a medical doc (the name is a reference to Maryland when I used to live up there). My background is in econ, so I do a bit of math professionally as well.

    He is Correct that when he says that the math has nothing to do with it for him. He is willfully ignoring the material data and presenting false conclusions.

    does it say in the test kit to report to a health official the results of test either way?

    Nope, never really hung out there. I have mostly been around here for a little over a decade.

    Oklahoma will allow state employees to work as substitute teachers to fight shortages

    Oklahoma will allow state employees to work as substitute teachers — while keeping their current jobs — as it attempts to keep schools open for in-person learning in the face of widespread staffing shortages.

    It's the latest state to float an unorthodox solution to the problem of teachers and school staff calling out sick in high numbers because of an omicron-driven spike in COVID-19 infections across the country.

    California is expediting the hiring process for new substitute teachers and allowing their contracts to be extended. Kansas will allow people with no college credit to become subs.

    In Oklahoma, Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt issued an executive order on Tuesday that permits state employees to work as substitute teachers while retaining their regular jobs with no reduction in pay or benefits.

    You've ignored the largest Natural Immunity studies in the world for over 6 months. This is awesome. What color is the sky in your world?
