Forbes CNBC.

That only covers Pfizer, but it was a quick Google away.

Yes, there are many sources that claim the greater protection, but those are older, less comprehensive results. 39% protectection against infection, 41% against symptoms are the latest numbers.

Havana is 80 miles off the US coast with good line of sight. That's doable for WiFi with highly directional antennas or for 3/4G phone service. It should be trivial to have US based Internet for Cuba if the US government decides it's important.
Or they could just park ships at 12.01 miles off the coast.

Also sucks for:
People who want a desk with 2 giant monitors without having to dedicate a room to it or constantly clear off the dining room table.
People who need an excuse for being unresponsive after normal hours
People who mentally need a division between work-space and home-space
People who are trying to advance via office politics
Personally, pre-COVID work-from-home never meant "from home" for me. That's where I relax, and I don't want to bring my work home with me.

Comment Re:And here comes the Delta strain (Score 1) 266

And you see people getting infected multiple times. Oftentimes with worse reinfections. My guess is things are going to get really bad among the 40-50% of the population that refuses the vaccine. Then they'll die and their estates won't be able to handle the giant hospital bills they racked up.

Comment Re:Doge is irrelevant but the Fed is the real ponz (Score 1) 103

That's why governments turn over control of the printing press to the Fed, which doesn't have to give a shit and who care about preventing 2 and 4, then 1 and 3. I assume it ends with 3 (redistribution), but don't know why that means "taxes run out". It means "taxes on the rich rise".

Will companies agree to be held liable for any potentially negative side-effects that would arise from " strongly suggesting " their employees obtain the Covid-19 vaccination ?

No, but it's fine. The US Government has a fund. If you get sick from one of the vaccines, they'll cover it.

how can an employer dictate that a -current- employee ( not talking about a new hire here ) obtain a Covid vaccine, but not others

They totally can force them to get others (I have no idea why a new vs. existing employee matters here. The US has shitty employee rights.) It's just not worth it for them to cut off the workers who won't get a flu shot and the others aren't on their radar as assumed (MMR) or irrelevant (Yellow Fever).

they legally can't ask you if you have HIV..How is this any different ?

COVID is airborne and contagious. HIV isn't airborne can can be prevented from transmission.
