Comment Re:Bad record keeping (Score 1) 247

I wonder how much of this is just shoddy record keeping with drug stores giving shots?

I had a similar experience in a "supersite" run by a major healthcare provider here in CA. My wife's record was properly updated for her 2nd shot, mine wasn't. Since we anticipate traveling to Europe later this year, I followed up and had my record updated (had to supply vaccine card as proof). I also have a (time & geo stamped) photo with the needle sticking in my arm, if ever further proof were needed.

The US and UK are not neck and neck with each other. Sort the list by cases per 1M population. The US is #7 on that list and the UK is #26 https://www.worldometers.info/...

It depends on what you measure. IMO the # of cases is less interesting, and probably more subject to skew by testing infrastructure than the # of deaths per 1M population. So, that's what I sort the same data by. Currently UK is #9 (1245 deaths per million), and US is #11 (1176 deaths per million). I hope it doesn't sound cold-hearted, but for the purposes of evaluation I also filter out countries with tiny (100,000) populations. Adjusted for those the UK & US are #7 & #9 Anyway, I welcome the negative PCR test requirement. Until vaccinations take effect anything that slows the spread is useful.

For those looking for OTA DVR solutions without paying for streaming, ...

Just thought I'd mention another option for folks that want a polished consumer style product (i.e. don't want to roll their own): Tablo (tablotv.com) I've been very satisfied using a quad tuner with 5TB external USB disk for the last 4-5 years. I also paid for the Lifetime subscription ($150) to get the advanced guide features. So my components are: Antenna, Tablo DVR, USB drive, wired network, Roku. Paid for itself in 1 year.
