very cool, but ooph i don't like the direction things are heading :/ i really hope there's some kind of evolutionary 'fire wall' where something just can't get much more contagious than delta already is. otherwise, good grief can you imagine if this things creeps up to R 10, 15, etc.

The firewall would normally be when it gets more lethal. Oops covid can still spread before you die. more mutations more spread more death open biden

Can’t really raise the vaccination rate by people dying. it’s worth noting that every 1% represents 3 million people. despite the alarming number of people dying they simply aren’t dying fast enough to get us to 70!

I love that the Oregon dashboard, and probably all the others, default to 18+ for the vaccination percentage. Like 12+ has been authorized for months now, any rational person would have a 12+ setting and a total pop setting if you were going to have 2 different settings at all. gently caress I hate all of these motherfuckers in charge.

How long do ya'll reuse your N95/KN95/KF94 masks for? They're like $100 per month for the fun ones if I use 1 per day. I saw a suggestion you can rotate them or bake them in the oven to get more life out of them.

About 40 hours of wear per a mask with decent quality masks. Throw the mask away once the masks starts to physically fail in some way, like the straps, structural integrity, seal integrity, or nose wire failing. Or the mask becomes too soiled and gross. 1 or 2 masks a week if you're wearing them all day is the expected burn rate. I don't go to work or use a mask a ton during the day, but I go through about 3 masks a month from wearing them outdoors.

Rotating through a few masks helps them dry out between uses. I just hang them up on pegs and pick one that wasn't one I used. Don't soak, clean, bake, or otherwise gently caress with the masks to clean or make them last longer. The filter media uses electrostatic charge to capture tiny particles, and that charge can get ruined by cleaning attempts.

Like I said, I don't think we'll get to 70% but I've been saying for over a month now that 10 million dead from the delta version of covid isn't beyond the pale. Especially as we experience collapses in the medical system because that's when death rates really spike. The South in particular is going to be a rolling catastrophe until they are forced to get their poo poo together and they will resist getting their poo poo together for as long as possible. They will also half-rear end any safety precautions.

So yes, 1% roughly means 3 million people. I'm aware of that. I also think that since the unvaccinated are going to be disproportionately effected that vaccination rates are going to go up by a few percentage points even if we don't put any more needles in arms simply because more vaccinated are going to survive covid than the unvaccinated.

We're not going to resolve this round of covid before the year is over and it's going to take a lot of pain before people are willing to lock down again. And that's if it ever happens. That's a lot of time for America to bleed.

MIHALOPOULOS: Troopers aim to end Bernie backer’s long reign above the Kennedy
By Dan Mihalopoulos Jan 14, 2018, 9:42pm CST

On her 584th straight day on a bridge above the Kennedy Expressway, the Northwest Side’s Bernie Sis found herself accused of running afoul of the law for the first time.

Veronica Wolski again went up on a pedestrian bridge that crosses the Kennedy on Friday morning, continuing her unique mode of speaking out about the state of affairs in the country.

Every day since Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, Wolski has stood on the bridge for a few hours and posted handmade signs with succinct, left-leaning messages.

“IT’S NOT OVER,” read the sign she posted Friday on the chain-link fence over the outbound Kennedy, near the Gladstone Park Metra station.

I asked her what’s not over.

“Our fight for having a good country is not over,” she replied. “Nothing is over.”

it's hilarious at all the dumb reasoning in article
-Health officials use the vaccine dose data to plan a national strategy in the US
-Vaccine boosters are taking away doses from other countries and people in the US who want it
-There's no scientific data to support a 3rd booster shot
-Using names like Max Titers is breaking medical ethics!

What's especially funny is that the whole third dose thing wouldn't be feasible if Biden had an administration that wasn't completely filled with sycophants, failchildren, and grifters. But they can't actually say that Biden's hosed this up from the get go, so, no, it must be a moral failing on the parts of the Max Titerses of the world.

gently caress the chuds, you get a chance to get a booster vax, you absolutely should take it. Unless you're literally snatching it out of someone else's arm you need to consider your personal health uppermost because the government and (most) businesses absolutely do not give a gently caress about you.

Yeah, it's this. The assholes in the media have pushed a bootstraps agenda for decades, and now that people are taking that to heart with boosters (do whatever it takes to get yours, because help is absolutely not coming), they're whining about it.

I posted like a week ago that it just stuns me insensible that people don't seem to understand that covid's survival rate to date has been due almost entirely to the prevalence of modern ICU and emergency response, and the quality thereof. Like. In any time before 1980 at the absolute earliest? Almost every single person whose life has been saved by modern ICU care would be dead. Every single one. Tormp, your grandpa, little Billy who had some breathing problems, everyone. The death toll just from the virus, never mind deaths due to health care failure, would be in the millions already. Medical saves that were the realm of pure science fiction even half a century ago (and yes, I mean 1972) are occurring daily in America's hospitals, even with their myriad of problems.

No one seems to process what's going to happen if that gets overwhelmed to the point of true breakage or is just so overwhelmed that a significant, or especially majority, of patients can't be treated: the death rate is going to absolutely skyrocket. By, like, thousands daily, depending on how out of hand infections get. If people can't get care, covid is going to kill them. And it will happily reinfect them, over and over, until they are dead.

But the rich libs don't seem to particularly care and assume care will always be available for them, the fash lust for death in any form, and so many just aren't taught or encouraged to think about these things at all and in some ways barely understand what's saving their lives. We're going to go zooming past the breaking point and I don't think I'm ready for that level of suffering.

It is estimated that 675,000 people died in the U.S. due to Spanish Flu. U.S. is three times as populated now. I wouldn't put money on it yet but it is not completely inconcievable you all end up beating a literally 100-year old pandemic in both total deaths and % of the population dead because of anti-vaxxers.
