Who are these 'deaths caused by lockdown'? Is that code for suicides?

It's nebulous concern trolling, I saw someone pull a list of teen suicides in 2020 as "lockdown deaths" except teen suicides in 2020 were lower than in 2019.

It's just pure concern trolling poo poo.

I spend all day looking at public health metrics, 2020 vs 2019 routine medical care like dental visits were down a fair bit, treatment for substance abuse disorders was up but that's because telehealth qualified as treatment, all other things were about the same.

I just crack pinged over the very obvious fact that I had failed to process until now. People are paying to get fake vaccine cards when the actual vaccine is completely free, and probably easier to get.

Maybe we should do an exchange program. I need a chud to give me their ID and insurance info and I'll go get the vaccine doses for you and give you the real card. I need more titers.

This is hella pages ago but I was part of that discussion and it’s one of the many joys of the respo life. If you can do it in a rain or snow storm, I highly recommend that, those are my favorites. Sneaking up on a good smelling flower bush is very good too. It can be kind of unpleasant in a city (especially during the summer), but it’s still interesting to be able to switch your sense of smell on and off and see how much information you regularly take for granted. It’s cool where I live because there’s a bunch of bad city smells, but I can also tell that I’m near a river, that there are restaurants nearby, fires from homeless camps, car fumes, all that stuff you kind of ignore just pops right up to the front of your awareness.

I recently downgraded to some of the basic P100 cartridges because my other set was getting kind of old and these seem better sealed against the rain we’ll hopefully get some day, and I’ve been appreciating the weird half-smells that come through. Like I can for sure smell cigarette smoke again, but it’s this weird version, like somebody had unplugged the bass and the midrange and played a familiar song through just the tweeters. I can recognize what it is, but it’s definitely not the same.
Good to know! I have some backup P100 carts so I wasn't sure what to expect smell-wise when I do use them.

I feel like bus driver shortages are a nationwide thing which makes sense because a lot of bus drivers are retiree age and like having something that gets them out of the house every day for part of the year and that's definitely a cohort that isn't gonna want to be engaging with dozens of maskless kids each day right now.

this is super strange. they found a contaminated batch and then saw two people died after getting it. then they saw another person got a shot that was contaminated but from a different batch. and now this week they see another contaminated batch

what in the gently caress....

apparently these are being made by a factory in spain IIRC

talk to your pediatrician or doctor first to see if they will off label prescribe

but yeah, the heads of the FDA in charge of making that approval were just unceremoniously ousted yesterday: https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/31/health/fda-vaccine-officials-step-down/index.html

there is a lot of chaos and drama going on behind the scenes between the CDC and FDA. as far as we know they're still saying early winter likely availability for them. let's hope that date gets pushed up a lot sooner!
