Not handing it to Biden, but there was something a few days ago about Q types using the lack of executive orders being listed on an obscure government website as proof that he hasn't actually signed any and isn't president.

I 100% agree he could and should actually loving do something.

But he did do something, he banished the orange man from the white house

I wonder if Hochul implements an indoor mask mandate statewide or mandatory vaccinations for state workers

Or will she try to placate the chuds by being the anti-Cuomo and not having restrictions?

Speaking of goons helping goons, what's a good way for this thread's posters and lurkers to organize virtual hangouts for games or non-covid chats?

It's pretty apparent that a lot of us have family and friends that fall into the "sorta uninformed lib succumbing to Open Biden" category. They're vaxxed, they mask a lot of the time, but then they mention gathering with 7 others for drinks and saying "what, it seemed safe".

While it's not hard to stay home or do a safer activity, it does create a larger void of social interaction, and it becomes really easy to fall into a pit of doomscrolling.

there's a few different Discords, the CSPAM ones seem to be mostly chatting and spamming notifications, for gaming I've got one with IRL friends and another few for co-op stuff that's not CSPAM that I use for DFG groups. Find a game you like in the Games thread with a good amount of players and odds are there'll be a link in the OP as to where to find goons to play with

To address your broader point, online socializing is absolute trash compared to irl, if you're doing it with gaming nights as a backdrop you're in best case scenario basically because this much is unchanged

PM me if you're interested in the co-op one, I think I can generate invites to it but forget the authorization

I don't buy the fact that we are going to need endless boosters for a virus that doesn't endlessly mutate (the current variants are fairly small mutations). Once we get a couple different vaccines tuned for a couple different variants we will have a generally robust and wide immunity that will eventually stick around. It will take us kicking our immune system in the head a couple times for it to wise up and start remembering what to do but it will eventually happen. My money is on a much more "durable" immunity after the 3rd shot and then a delta specific one sometime after that should largely make covid an annoyance for the average person.

Or I'm totally wrong and in that case whelp

Fauci coming out today and saying "maybe we only need one booster!' isn't wrong, but there won't be any useful data on antibody levels post-dose 3 for a few more months, so maybe he should shut the gently caress up until then

"You only need one booster! Maybe! Go get the booster!" is a bad marketing slogan if they're trying to convince people to get it - they need to admit poo poo is hosed and stop gatekeeping the 3rd shot

we've fumbled to get even a third dose of the existing vaccine out to people in time. we haven't even gotten to the point of a tailor made variant-specific booster, much less two or three of them getting in arms of people. i have my doubts we will even make it to a second variant booster for the public before giving up and saying the whole idea won't work in practice and it's just going to be wild strain vaccine boosts every year, good luck
