Man it was horrible ten years ago.
People defecating on Market in broad daylight, and San Franciscans just casually walking by. Can't imagine how it is today.
Aside from the weather, I don't get the draw to the west coast-at all.

It's even worse now. Much like Seattle, it looks just as bad as Los Angeles and is surging in crime as well.

Are we there yet?

I don't know, have you looked up the meaning of virulent yet? Less virulent means the characteristics of the virus have changed making less deadly which is not the case. That is way different then being less contagious/infectious. Yes, there is a lower viral load in vaccinated people and their bodies clear the virus faster, both meaning vaccinated people are less likely to infect others. You simply avoided my first question...

Excuse me, sir.
I put good time in to answer your question. If you put in equal time to what I did, you will know that this is a very hard stat to nail down. The articles I read said that we need better tracking to answer your question.
I tried to satisfy your inquiry by giving related info. I failed to find exactly what you want, but how does that bear on the bigger vaccination questions?

The best answer I found said that some of the virus shed from vaccinated folks consisted of some dead, weakened, & thus less virulent virus particles. Hence, on the whole the shed would be less virulent. To prove this you would have to culture many viral samples, which we don't do.

I didn't ask a question! You were the one who stated that being vaccinated makes the virus less virulent and posted threads which did not back that up. The virus spread by vaccinated is unchanged by the vaccine.

I have never disputed the benefits of the vaccines and its ability to reduced transmission. I'm asking you to prove/back up the less virulent claim but as usual you somehow deflect.

You asked me to clarify my post. I tried a few times, & then admitted I failed to satisfy you.
I understand your upset with my use of 'virulent'. I didn't use the word in a strictly proper way. But I subsequently tried to explain what I meant.

And I asked you a question, pls. How does this mattter in the big pic?

If this was an "attempt to clarify" it is a poor one and basically your only response to me.

Can we please stop with the virus crap? I would REALLY hate to see this thread get locked because a few people *still* do not comprehend that BP no longer offers a Politics & Religion section and does not welcome those topics any more.....

Back to police topics….


It's nice to see that cooler heads are prevailing in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Sedan, Murf, others: thank you in advance of the closure of this thread. It was fun/interesting to be able to ask stupid questions in a safe place.

Naw. We've veered off the path before, but we self-corrected. I think we'll be okay.

It's back to work later this afternoon. A gangster was shot twice in the leg last night in my patrol area. I wish the other gangster had been a better shot and his grouping was about two feet higher.

It locks in 22 more days. It's scheduled to be built less than a month after the build locks. Target arrival is mid-Feb, but I'm thinking more like late Jan.

I have my commuter manual Corolla SE and I still have the Panigale V4. I WISH I had a take-home car. That would be really cool. I'm thinking about going to Motor School so I can get a a take-home bike.


P.S. It will be a total of about 10 months from order-to-delivery.

So, I need to clear my calendar for Feb-Mar to participate in the DRE testing on the skid track, right Sedan_Clan ?
