AreWeDrunkYet posted:Without contact tracing, opening up is just a crapshoot. And I don't think a single state is in a position to implement widespread contact tracing. I remember Governor Abbot here in Texas saying we would implement contact tracing when we opened up. I found the proposition laughable with the current numbers of new cases and it was never mentioned again as far as I am aware.

coronavirus posted:I'm not blaming the protestors for anything. Some things are more important than worrying about a virus with .2 IFR . Like protesting the murder of an innocent black guy. .2% IFR is a bullshit number for a scenario that doesn't remotely resemble what is happening in the US. Do you actually read anything or just cherry pick poo poo that you feel backs you own narrative? It's ok, you don't need to answer that.

The rich and powerful already figured out the trick to getting away with anything is team politics and good old fashioned patronage networks. You can't let your team's politicians be punished for their criminality because the other party's politicians might win - and they're a bunch of criminals! I am still hoping against my better judgement that there will be reprecussions for the blatant profiteering, corruption, and wilful negligence in the Federal COVID-19 response.

Not to mention that the system we’ve built and rebuild (or allow to be built) is already scary and sinister – and all the moreso without some shadowy cabal of ~~~globalist lizard bankers~~~]} steering it. Like, it’s so much worse when you build your own cage, think you benefit from the imprisonment and can’t imagine another way, let alone desire one.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Bohemian Grove? Nixon was mocking that nonsense 40 years ago. I always found it hilarious how the nutjobs will bend over backwards to take something very obvious and out in the open, and try and make it more outlandish, unfeasible, and secretive so that their brains can accept it. I guess the fact that there are billionaires and corporations openly influencing policy for the government is just too much reality for their brains to take. It's like the people commenting on the Panama Papers, "why are there no US billionaires and companies on the list. . . oh! They must be so secretive that the're another layer or two hidden under the Panama Paper stuff". No! They're rich US people/businesses, the entire system is designed so that they don't have to do anything illegal to keep every cent they make and also receive government handouts. It's sort of like how a contact tracing app wouldn't work, as so many people would assume that it was being used for nefarious purposes, despite most of them intentionally posting any possible info an app could want freely and probably with much more frequency and detail through social media or the use of a variety of apps.

FlamingLiberal posted:Just for people who forget, the legislature didn’t want restrictions, the Governor obviously wasn’t going to stop having them, so they sued and the GOP SC in that state just threw them all out. With no plan whatsoever. Governor Evers is doing everything he can with one hand tied behind his back. People are going to blame him for loving this up when it's ALL the republican's fault. He's fighting tooth an nail to get everyone testing and stepping up contact tracing. If I want a test for covid-19. Right now. No symptoms. I can get one. For free. About a 5 minute drive from me. That's how good of a job he's doing. And it's definitely only him that is doing it. The legislature is republican run and they're just doing whatever they can to stop him doing anything. No reason. No plan at all. Nothing.

You don't even have to look further than the pandemic response. On one hand, you have people proclaiming that it's some inexplicable combination of 5G and vaccines so that Bill Gates can take more power. On the other hand, you have Congress almost unanimously passing what is easily the biggest transfer of wealth to the rich since the financial crisis, with bonus mismanagement and cronyism from the administration for some extra looting of public money.

I didn't read that but they've been saying stuff about blood clots for a little while now. So it can possibly kill you in more ways than making you drown in your own fluids.

In the article, it states it starts in the lungs, destroys them and goes into the blood vessels from there and then causes the things like people dying of a stroke or the "Covid Toes" symptom (I hate that name so much...). Apparently, a blood vessel disease that's also a pulmonary disease is very, very rare.

NEJM had a study comparing the lungs of people killed by covid to influenza pneumonia about a week ago. The big difference in the covid lungs was a lot of little blood clots and widespread angiogenesis (basically the body trying to grow new capillaries). Taken together it seems to imply that advanced covid (and maybe the resulting prolonged inflammation and cytokine storm) is rupturing cells around the capillaries in your lungs and the body is reacting by trying to clot off the ruptures and grow new pathways. I do think there is an important distinction between infections that remain largely confined to the nasal/throat area (contagious but either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic , tend to resolve in ~5 days like a normal coronavirus/cold) versus the virus establishing an infection deeper in your lungs which results in a much longer and more severe illness.

Also, the stroke deaths were reported,

I read about a recent study involving pregnant women and injury being seen in the placentas of Covid-19 positive patients after giving birth. The babies all seemed fine and healthy, but the placentas were damaged, which would impact blood flow from mother to baby. It’s being cited as a reason to monitor pregnant women more closely. It seems that a vascular illness makes sense if it’s causing injury to placentas.

They're doing temperature checks at my work with a forehead scanner, 100.4 and you get sent home. Mine was 92.3 and then 91.9 on a second check, very rude of the dispatcher to make me sign in when I am clearly dead.
