My neighbors have a sign in their lawn that says "This is a Covid Free Residence" on a rainbow background. Does anyone know if this works? Does Covid follow vampire rules and have to be invited in? Interested in serious replies only thanks :)

Based on the guidelines for restaurants, I'd assume it had t Rex rules where it can only see you if you're moving

When I was in CVS last week I saw a pharmacy counter with two signs, one said NOW ACCEPTING WALK INS and the other said APPOINTMENT REQUIRED NO WALK INS.

I think pharmacies in general are heavily understaffed - all appointments for the local CVS are staggered in one-hour intervals for booking and they're not doing non-COVID immunizations at the moment

bone shaking.
soul baking.

they probably just directed them to the website so they could type in all their information on their phone while they wait and stormed off in a huff when the pharmacist that's doing a million other things (including testing, sometimes) wouldn't drop what they were doing to punch in the person's name, date of birth, address, and insurance info (if any) for them while they stand their impatiently grumbling.

Zokari posted:

some regions are experiencing their worst covid waves yet

is there any rationale for these people to think that it wont just keep being like that year after year

No, but even a lot of people in this thread are vulnerable to this kind of thinking. There's this idea that it's going to infect everyone in one glorious wave and then it's over, but it won't and that's basically indistinguishable from the natural herd immunity argument.

There haven't really been any diseases ever that just ravage every single vulnerable person and then stop. It doesn't matter how globally connected our society is, there's always going to be something that blunts an outbreak. Then we go back to things being quiet for a few weeks or a month or whatever, and then it all picks up again when an infected person exposes a ton of people or the right set of people. Every wave has stopped well short of infecting literally everyone, every study that shows mass antibody prevalence has huge issues, and we're basically locking ourselves into a future where we experience localized hospital failures on an annual basis.

They are absolutely taking walk-ins. It is easier on staff if you check in online. They could have been swamped and told the guy to pound sand because the queue for scrips was long.

"Endemic" is an observational description of a disease with an average Re=1 in a given population. It's one of two theoretical possible infinite time solutions to the viral reproduction and population resistance equations. The other being disease extinction (Re<0).

Saying "covid is going to be endemic" right now is equivalent to Trump saying one day it's going to disappear like a miracle. Literally, it's got the exact same level of rigor and data behind it. Pandemic wave after pandemic wave is not endemicity.

Yeah, my parents went to Costco in May for their vaccines because they were advertising walk-in vaccinations. My mother walked right past a 'no appointment necessary' sign only to be told at the pharmacy they needed an appointment. Delayed my folks' vaccines by almost 2 weeks because of that, loving thanks Costco.
