I went to the mall today. Wore a KN95 when leaving the apartment and during the car drive, then switched to a respirator before leaving the car. I know just wearing the respirator the whole time gives you fewer chances for a gently caress-up, but it messes with my peripheral vision enough that I don't trust myself driving when wearing it unless I really need to. I bought two pairs of pants to replace one pair that ripped-through last week. While walking between the department store and the supermarket, I spotted a book - "Wealth and Democracy: The Politics of Rich and Poor" on a second-hand bookstore shelf. Seemed interesting to I bought it for cheap. Then I bought groceries for the week ahead. Things are getting more expensive, but between our changing taste and intermittent fasting, we're actually eating less, so this week's bill was markedly less than our average haul. My wife bought a KFC Double-Down sandwich, and I bought some Krispy Kreme donuts, and lemonade for the both of us. We brought it out to the parking lot, and then ate in the car. I changed back into the KN95 before driving out, drove home, showered, changed, put the groceries away, and took a nap.

mod sassinator posted:did the whole drat eviction moratorium get forgotten too? what in the gently caress is the white house doing... are they working with Pelosi and congress to get anything done? loving anything!? If evictions can't happen and people need extra unemployment, then that means proclaiming victory in nay didn't make sense. But since victory in May can't be undone and mist be defended, it actually means expanded unemployment and eviction protections didn't make sense and should be gotten rid of

I forgot you did covid deaths instead of cases. Hard to find anything around 1,000 population. But I'm sure we'll get to 54k deaths quickly now.

Tzen posted:don't know what your options are but I suggest looking into a nanny it would be so amazing to find a nanny for like 4-6 hours per day who was fully vaccinated and not also constantly going out to restaurants and large events. with absolutely zero support or willingness to quarantine for two weeks from either of our large families, plus general isolation from not even going into a grocery store for the last 1.5 years, it's really just wreaking havoc on my wife's mental health. we had one nearby family quarantining as hard as us, so mothers + same-age toddlers would go to public parks or walking together, but they're starting to take more and more risks so that relationship has changed as well i've been back at work since 6/1 and the only person there wearing a mask so that's been its own brainfucked deluge of stress & anxiety

It feels like we are at a weird stage of the pandemic, and I've been thinking a lot about when the other shoe drops. Things like climate change can be ignored because it moves at a glacial pace, relative to COVID which went from Independence and Freedom Day to flooded ICU's and winter deaths in a month. It won't ease up either, public health is being degraded in each iteration and so is the hcw capacity to deal with it, while the powers that be have focused all their energy on accelerating spread, mutations and the spread of mutations. For all the "we have to learn to live with the virus" and "it's endemic", in the very best case scenario, we can't be more than a couple of months out from this being patently absurd to even the densest of people. "No one could have known" only goes so far, so what is the next step here for the people in charge? Anyone care to guess?

Bar Ran Dun posted:I’m confused wasn’t she pro mask? Initially yes. She used that to get a platform with the Blue Maga types. But she’s heavily pushed the Open Biden strategy, talked a load of poo poo about how delta wouldn’t be a threat months ago, and done everything she can to downplay any risk of opening schools. She puts out tons of content that basically amounts to “all we need are vaccines.” She is a big part of why blue Maga supported opening the country. Like almost everyone else in this clusterfuck, she’s just in it for the audience and the money. She’s found her audience and isn’t going to say anything to impact that.

Real Mean Queen posted:This whole thing has asked us what we are each really made of. Are you good in an emergency? Can you turn off your desires long enough to make a decision that impacts others correctly? Are you a sentient enough dude to not blithely gently caress around and get your elderly neighbor killed because you got bored and the world got scary? Are you even put together well enough to realize that you’re taking a test? This is a very clear opportunity to decide what kind of person you want to have been when the chips were down. I don’t want to hang out with the people who didn’t even realize there was a moral decision to be made here, or worse, the ones who did realize it and decided it wasn’t important to make the right decision.

Pingui posted:Edit: Just to substantiate, the people that would get tested for the vaccine passport are by definition unvaccinated, indulging in risky behavior and are the type to not get tested unless they have to. They have a much higher chance of testing positive than say my double vaccinated neighbor who works from home, but gets tested 2 times per week because the employer requires it. Just to add to this, those negative test windows are often hilariously large, and assume that tests work. On the first point, if you’re traveling to a different city to see a big show, what are you going to do? You’re going to get your tests on the way out of the airport, check in at the hotel, and hit the bar. You can definitely catch you some covid in the 72 hour maximum a lot of places demanding negative tests are asking for. I don’t know exactly how long it takes to get and start spreading delta, but I bet a committed person could pull it off. On the second point, is there any good reason to trust the tests? How many people in this thread have told stories about a bunch of people living in a house and half of them popping hot and the other half not, even while the negatives are feeling sick? Maybe people aren’t doing them right, maybe they’re just kind of janky, but every new day brings some story about tests that sounds weird. I am not super well versed in this area of the pandemic lore, I’d love to be wrong and hope that I am, but the shift from getting your brain picked for free by a person who did a thousand of these today versus “you can get a kit at walgreens for forty bucks” makes me wonder if testing didn’t just quietly get worse.

Rick posted:Definitely noticed a lot of covid notices on the ESPN ticker today included caveats about the infected people "claiming" to be vaccinated. I guess word from Disney Overlords is that you lied about getting vaccinated rather than it being a breakthrough case. i had a “last straw” moment with a now former friend the other day. i asked him if he got his jab, and he said he got his first shot a month ago and was scheduled to get his next in a couple weeks. it was such a blatant and terrible lie lmao. it was a friendly conversation and i didnt call him out but even if he is telling the truth im not associating with someone who took till loving august to get a vaccine.

One thing I haven't seen stats on lately : for delta, where all old people could have been vaxxed beforehand if they chose, have deaths by age category changed? Tons of stats about # of dead who were unvaccinated: almost all!!!!! But very fee stats on if there's an age shift or not. And there should be one!
