The European Union, China, and other nations are all experiencing inflation. They didn't coordinate stimulus checks like we did, which suggests that inflation is being driven by supply chain bottlenecks and low interest rates - which are pretty much universal. 4 1 2 Link to comment

We need to be learning how to live with it knowing people are going to get it. Lot's of people are going to believe the BS and not get vaccinated. We can not continually shut down parts of the economy and life because of this. Agreed. Protect the at risk, assuming they want to be protected, and move on. 1 1 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 So, question that I haven't found an answer for. I'm vaccinated since the spring. I just got out of quarantine a few days before Thanksgiving from having a breakthrough case. So.....would you wait a few months to get the booster hoping that it's been updated with new variants? I have a chance to get it tomorrow if I want it. Link to comment

The economists estimated that it would add 0.3 percentage points to the core Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation index in 2021 and “a bit more” than 0.2 percentage points in 2022. Core inflation strips out volatile items like food and fuel. 1 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 More and more current data coming out on Vitamin D levels. This is a few months old but some current research backs up potential benefits of Vitamin D levels. Great for overall health anyways and most people are deficient https://www.timesofisrael.com/1-in-4-hospitalized-covid-patients-who-lack-vitamin-d-die-israeli-study/ 2 Link to comment
