I have found the instructors to be solid and the bike itself is good. The Echelon is probably significantly cheaper, but when you are trying to motivate yourself to go sit on a stationary bike, it helps to know that you have so many good classes to choose from, and I doubt any of the competitors can offer that right now, in part because they have not been around as long.
Thanks. We decided to go with Peloton.

That's great news!

My SIL went back to work piloting, and promptly got the virus. Mild symptoms (lack of taste, mostly) but her two weeks off quarantining at my parent's otherwise vacant place here and she's out in the world again. Brother and their kids didn't get it.

So an FB friends from Moth storytelling (hi Thurgreed!) is an NYC ER doc. She just posted a meme about the differences between the two vaccines. But I can't imagine we get a choice, like this is what we hace here for you.

So I've an FB friend who is an ER doc in TCOTU. She posted a comparison of the two vaccines. I'm thinking few people will have a choice, right?

Sounds right to me. I think the distribution is different on a state by state basis, but hard to imagine many places that will get both vaccines and give people a choice.

If they are effective, when should we start seeing an obvious statistical effect?
