@blackdogIf you really think we can develop a vaccine that NOBODY will die from you’re gonna have a bad time. And this isn’t throwing in the towel and saying “I guess this is good enough”. There are scientists working right now to figure out what’s triggering the thrombosis response in the AZ vaccine in order to make it even safer. But the number will never be 0, there are simply way too many people with allergies, countless combinations of existing medical conditions that can interact with a vaccine. It’s simply not gonna happen.
You may ask “how is this any different to the same argument being made against covid? Well, the vaccine doesn’t have the ability to spread for one thing. There is no exponential growth of death like with the virus. In fact, even if the vaccine had the ability to be passed from person to person you would still end up saving more people than harming them.
Small amounts of people dying from taking medication isn’t something new. One of my friends has severe allergies and can’t get vaccinated at all. On a more personal note, my mom is in recovery from cancer, and would have been pretty much guaranteed to die if she had caught Covid due to this and other issues with her health. The vaccine quite literally is extending her life expectancy.
I would argue the great majority of medications in existence have a certain number of deaths associated with them. The Polio vaccine killed and paralyzed a bunch of children in the 50s, should we have stopped administering that too? No, because you have to weigh the risks and benefits of a medication vs continuing down the unvaccinated path that results in far greater amount of death. That is what’s being done with the Covid vaccine, and while the risk is not 0 it’s also many many many times lower than the risk of a society that continues to spread and get infected with the virus. This isn’t about wanting to get back to drinking mojitos, it’s about wanting to get back to a functioning society that can live a normal life without overwhelming the medical system, something that has happened and is happening without the vaccine. The healthcare system has shown significant improvement after large portions of population were vaccinated. 
So you want me to be shocked that 3 people out of hundreds of millions have died from the Pfizer vaccine? How many people’s deaths were PREVENTED because of this vaccine? Thousands. Hundreds of thousands. 
I never said it wasn’t terrible for those who died this way. Yes, every vaccine death is horrible and yes  it is in fact easy for me to make this argument when it’s not my family member or friend dying from it, but this is simple math in terms of risk vs benefit.
Every death associated with this pandemic is a tragedy. However if I need to choose between 3 people dieing from a vaccine or 30,000 people dieing because there is no vaccine, I’m sorry for those 3 and their families but I’d like to keep those 30,000 alive please.
The incidence rate of vaccine related deaths, while still arguably higher than we all want it to be, is still small enough that it wouldn’t even make it on a pill bottle under “extremely rare side effects”. 
To put it differently, if you wanted to take these vaccines off the market because they are, as you apparently suggest, unsafe, then for every person that you “save” from dying from the vaccine you kill a hundred more because you took those vaccines off the market. 
 
 

Sorry to hear times are tough for you. If you get tired of UK gloom, in California there's someone that loves you...

(saw that on my way to groceries lol)

Met a girl last year in January, she lives in Malmö and i am 250 kilometers north from her. It is weird that we haven't been able to date outside, having dinner in a restaurant and visiting places.
Luckily we are both like two senior citizens and enjoy being at home together eating food and watching some silly tv show. We just bought a crappy house we hope to restore
Never ever thought i would be in such a happy relationship after my previous ones, so i am grateful!
 
Got my first dose a week ago or so, (Pfizer), arm hurt like i had gotten punched by my brother for two days but other than that i feel great.
Apparantly in Sweden, i was eligible for the vaccince even tho i am 38 because i have high blood pressure. Apparantly that is a risk factor.
Getting my second shot mid june! I hope that it is the beginning to normalcy. 

I was thinking about why our maps are so replayable the other day too, compared to other games I've played. This is a completely subjective answer, but I think one of the major reasons is the amount of themes we have in maps. For example, in Hanamura you have the city (which is made of just a few reusable buildings), the dojo and then the temple. Basically 4 or 5 different main themes (city, garden, dojo, temple + futuristic city in the backdrop). For Numbani, it's even more uniform, with small variations here and there. In a way, this makes these maps less overwhelming to take in, since the brain doesn't need to comprehend so many different structures/themes/surfaces, while at the same time trying to think of strategies and react to the action in the map. That takes a lot of brain power! Having more controlled and well defined themes also help a ton with navigation, so you don't have to think too much when running around the map.
As comparison, I played a bit of Rogue Company the other day (the environment art looks sick in that game!), but I found that the maps suffered from too many different themes. I remember a map that took place in an skyscraper, and inside the skyscraper you had a mall, a car museum, an egyptian museum, a Mesopotamian museum and a rooftop garden (if I remember correctly). It was very overwhelming to navigate, since there were too many different details and themes.
This argument can also be said about CS. The most replayed maps are usually the ones with more uniform and easily comprehendible themes, such as Dust, Aztec, Inferno (especially the old one), Nuke, Assault etc...
There's a sweet spot when a map is not too simple and not too complex, and while art is a major component, level design and lighting play huge roles too. I was never a big fan of Prodigy, while it looked cool, the design was very complex and sprawling and the lighting was very uniform throughout the map (this is another criticism I have for a lot of new CS:GO maps that I see these days, they are all uniformly lit, with little sense of direction).
Anyways, this is a good subject to jam over some beers

Actually met the band during a meet and greet 2007, got all the autographs. Tho it aint a band i listen to today its pretty cool to have experienced it!
When will we hear more about Overwatch 2? Need more fap material.

Appendicitis in March, now I have a kidney stone. Fuck you 2020.

Made a song today, considering i am an amateur i keep listening to it because i feel proud. Its fun to listen to older songs and new to see that you actually keep improving. Sort of like comparing your first map vs today. 
 
 

Congrats on the announcement, HP!

What's all the commotion for @[HP]?

Some #coronavirus data
?? 4,014 infected, 178 deaths in less than 2 months (cf. ?? 8,652 infected, 100 deaths in over 3 months)
?? 6 ICUs per 100k citizens (cf. ?? 12.5)
?? 25k tests per day on 67.2 million citizens (cf. ?? (one region) 11k for 4.9 million citizens)

Does the below look like chaos? How will the NHS cope with less than half the Intensive Care beds available to the three EU countries with most cases?

When i finally started getting into Hammer again, having fun, i met a woman. Funny how everytime i start mapping i meet someone that keeps me occupied so i dont map.
But, i think she is great so, i am very happy ?
