Sudden Loud Noise posted:My work is full of "My kid is so excited for the first day of kindergarten. We're kinda uneasy, but excited for her." ... 5 days later "Our child came home with COVID." Getting parents back to the office for a grand total of a week before they get sick have to quarantine. Remind me again how this is supposed to be better than continuing the precautions we were taking this time last year?

https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1435268880553807876 Here's the associated Nature feature. It's a bit long and frankly disappointing, despite suggesting recent research indicates children's superior innate immunity could be one of the key factors leading to better COVID outcomes it underscores that there's still a lot of uncertainty. US society is asking parents to send their young children back to school unvaccinated because they're at low risk, but to my non-expert uninformed view there's still no clear answer as to exactly WHY they're low risk. It's still a number of half-plausible theories, with more research required. The article is worth reading, here's one passage that stood out for me: quote:Isabelle Meyts, a paediatric immunologist and physician at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, regularly sees children with immune disorders. When the pandemic hit, she prepared a plan to protect them. “The patients I was most scared for were actually the patients who have innate immune defects,” says Meyts.

"things are going okay in my blue bubble, compared to the bloodlands" should be more comforting but the problem is that the bloodlands are filling up our ICU capacity and driving hcws to quit, so functionally I'm not spared at all

Kentucky Governor called a special session of Congress work on hopefully establishing some guide lines and efforts to curb COVID19. Unfortunately, he seems to be the most naive motherfucker on Earth because so far the Republican Controller congress seems mostly concerned with removed the mask mandates in public schools. Kentucky lawmakers may consider ending school mask mandate during special session. https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...ate/5750642001/ The Kentucky teachers did a pretty strong run of strikes when their pension got threatened. Maybe we will see some more strikes? IDK. This is loving nuts!

people would take it a lot more seriously than seeing some dipshit schlub amerimutt in western casual clothes, in a graphic tee with holes thats a billboard for other zoo people consumers wearing a dicknose paper mask and slurring compared to a biohazard suit that has proximity alerts beeping and whistling with lots of lights and shimmying optibot flashlight over your shoulder telling a citizen they have broken the 6 ft rule and will start to shoot lysol in a 360 radius effectively in 10 seconds if they do not comply to the social distancing guideline. Also be sure to crouch a lot and put your hand over your respirator as if you're trying to hold your breath, or signifying itHappy Noodle Boy posted:i breathe manually so this isn’t a problem on that demon slayer total concentration tip Iron Crowned posted:I do.

I just remembered someone posting last year about the health adviser / consultant for their school district in Iowa (or other upper-midwest state) who said that even a single kid's death would make everyone go apeshit, so therefore no cases were acceptable. I wonder what that consultant is thinking now that the mask is off regarding our thirst for blood and Applebee's.

I'm trying to imagine how much the average response would be if COVID had a gross physical component. I feel like a few face puss lesions per person would absolutely lead to lockdowns.
