this is the top story on cnn right now: https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/24/politics/anthony-fauci-timeline-covid-joe-biden/index.html

quote:

(CNN)President Joe Biden just got some deeply unwelcome news: The pandemic that he was elected to end could drag on deep into a midterm election year, with all the political and economic destruction that could bring.

The warning by the government's top infectious diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, that the crisis won't be under control until spring of next year -- and even then, it will need most American vaccine skeptics to change their minds -- came as a severe jolt to a weary nation.

It also meant that Biden's best-laid plans of triumphing over the pandemic and riding an economic wave into the campaign for congressional election results in November next year now look at risk.

A pandemic that stretches through another grim winter and beyond risks slowing the economic recovery on which Biden is relying for a strong performance next year. It could demoralize the public and trigger the kind of sour mood among the electorate that always spells danger for incumbents. Already, the President's personal approval ratings and public confidence in his management of the pandemic have been ebbing, according to recent NBC and CBS polls.

Biden's partial declaration of victory over the virus on July Fourth looks highly premature -- as do earlier US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxations of mask guidance.

"As we get into the spring, we could start getting back to a degree of normality, namely reassuming the things that we were hoping we could do -- restaurants, theaters, that kind of thing," Fauci told CNN's Anderson Cooper.

lmao fauci is going to break everyone's brains. he's saying in very clear terms that this poo poo is off the rails for at least 6 more months.

and loving laffo that he says "maybe restaurants and theaters will be back next spring".... buddy, they ain't closing ever again. is fauci living in some delusional boomer world where he thinks all that stuff is closed down again?

During the summer break, which normally runs from late July to late August, there has been a surge in clusters of infections among children during club activities and at cram schools. In Tokyo, for example, 14.3% of new cases between Aug. 10 and Aug. 16 were among those age 19 or younger, up from 8.2% between March 23 and March 29, which is typically during the spring holiday.
lmao

quote:

For now, the Suga administration has come up with voluntary COVID-19 countermeasures, including asking students to stay at home if they have signs of flu and to maintain 2 meters of space between seats as much as possible in areas with the highest infection risks.

The education ministry is reluctant to issue a blanket nationwide school closure, similar to the measures it took last year at the beginning of the pandemic.
Back to school kids! Into the COVID mines! Starting from next week, so it's basically decided.

It'd be fun if China were to do something like change their trade/travel regulations to only accept imports or visitors from places that have effectively eliminated COVID (and then also quarantine the gently caress out of them, just in case). Overnight, we'd have the people juicing Number demanding we do whatever it takes to get our cases down in order to not miss out on that Chinese consumer cash that they think is going to start flowing their way any day now.

nah they'd declare that china is dooming themselves to irrelevancy and foolishly trying to turn back globalization and that xi is showing his true colors as a communist by turning china into north korea

poo poo is going to get so wild and off the rails this week and next. we're smashing into the worst hospitalization numbers ever, but the entire country is open and schools are opening too. last time we were this bad like every blue state was hard locked down with restaurants closed entirely. red states and such even hard limited restaurant hours.

now it's just wide open biden. even once they realize how bad and how hosed things are getting it will be impossible to turn this ship around without weeks more of increasing cases, hospitalizations, deaths, etc. and that assumes they have the balls to put in harder lockdowns like closing restaurants--which fauci seems to assume will happen in his remarks

I have more respect for people who just say they don't give a poo poo about covid than the libs who build up rules lawyering delusions to tell themselves that they are actually Being Safe.

Not much for either but I give credit to people who are honest about what they are because its easier to know what they'll do.

Old post, but I agree and I think it’s because the antivaxxers are easier to get real information out of. When “have you been being smart” is answered with “gently caress no, that shits made up,” you have absolutely all the information you could possibly need about how safe it is to deal with this person.

When somebody says “oh yeah I’m super safe” and then lets it drop that they’re taking it seriously because they’ve had covid twice and that’s why they were wearing a surgical mask even when they didn’t have to last week when they were in Vegas, you’re looking at a lot of extra exposure time that the chud response would’ve saved you.

no LA, Seattle, etc. data show about 25-30% of cases in last month are vaccine breakthroughs. And Boston data showed of vaccine breakthroughs we still see 6-10% need to be hospitalized, and about 1.5% die. The vaccines help but they are really hamstrung by delta and waning effectiveness. There are plenty of fully vaccinated deaths to come if transmission stays at ridiculous levels like now
