Likewise, sometimes incredibly stupid and shortsighted decisions from those in power are just incredibly stupid and shortsighted decisions with no deeper, meaningful goals. It's idiots all the way up. We're essentially being sacrificed due to a combination of greed and stupidity, with a lot of emphasis on the latter.

WoodrowSkillson posted:Yes I know decisions are being made, my point was it does not have to be an agreement among them with a unified strategy. They have similar goals and will find reasons to open up schools or workplaces or whatever and some may not literally be trying to kill people, but their intent is irrelevant. I agree there. It can just be from a direct lack of empathy and they're unwilling to expend political capital to have another year of home schooling. There doesn't need to be intent. Just an unwillingness to do anything. Which to me is not exactly the same thing, but close. Intent is relevant because it will determine the extent of the damage and what happens when this inevitably comes again. AceOfFlames posted:But isn’t surplus labor a GOOD thing for capital? Don’t they know what happened after the Black Death? Well that's the rub, isn't it? Capital wants to automate but they're not going to be able to automate that fast right now due to global supply chain issues. There's going to be a lag time between further automation and the jobs to fill them. But if you fully embrace automation you end up with a lot of surplus labor.

College Rockout posted:I was worried about other people's reactions at first when joining respirator krew but thankfully I'm in king county where nobody even gives it a second look. Unless you're in ivermectin country I don't think anybody really cares. And it's soooo nice wearing a respirator compared to even an N95. With an N95 on I'd still worry about my seal and passing chin diapers but now with a respirator I can walk through crowds of unmasked idgaf. I live in a large city in Texas. I wore my respirator and safety goggles out for the first time Monday to get a free covid antibodies test as part of a research study. I think people were actively looking away from me, including masked and unmasked people. I overheard a little kid ask "Why is she wearing that?" and her mother responded "Why not? She's being careful." I am nervous about wearing it to work once we're required to report back to the office, especially since people seemed to have a hard time understanding me with the respirator compared to when I go out with my vogmask. I'm aware of the Honeywell respirator with a speech valve, but I'm not convinced the speech valve sufficiently protects others from my aerosols--I put my hand under the valve and I feel my breathe flow right out! Covering the valve on the other hand would probably muffle my voice, defeating the purpose. My office is apparently planning on doing the pointless "mask off at your desk if you're vaccinated*, masks on everywhere else" as if our cubicles have aerosol-blocking properties... * and of course, we're relying on the honors system to determine who's vaccinated or not..

but that does not imply that the system was created with that purpose in mind initially. Anger generally originates in the gap between what we think ought to be and what really is. For example, we get angry when we think we should be treated a certain way and we in reality are not treated that way. When we create systems, we try to give them a telos, but we fail. We create a given system for a particular purpose we decided on before we created it. But it’s actual purpose is what it does. That gap, that’s contradiction.

Hearing anecdotes of PCR false negatives in vaxxed, unhospitalized individuals from a doctor relative. PCR works by binding to a short sequence of DNA complementary to RNA. I'm not sure if they’ve been using the same sequence since march 2020 or if they’ve changed the primers. If one of Delta's ~12 mutations affects the primers binding to this sequence then a PCR test would not detect viral loads. This seems like a relatively easy fix according to him. Anecdotally, he knows of two people in the past 2 weeks who are obviously positive (loss of taste and smell) who have reported negative PCR tests. My sister had an indeterminate PCR test while her partner had very low CT values (high viral load) yet they both had breakthrough symptoms with neuro involvement. This raises questions about 1. the current utility of PCR testing and 2. the association between viral load and symptom severity. The latter is probably an artifact of the former. number go up

Okay so just to summarize the news from this week (its wednesday) vaccines 0% effective after 5 months, tests don't work, virus is mutating faster now, more kids getting sicker than ever before, 1 in 7 kids getting long covid, 75% of kids getting infected in the next month or two and Dr John is saying open er' up. Hm.. going to take me a few weeks to unpack and process this, hope nothing else bad happens during that time.
