this is going to be like the first time around when they decided to get rid of the restriction because people figured out you can just lie

Let's see what the CDC says tomorrow and then what actual guidance comes out because there is still an opportunity for this to be extremely stupid.

Plus Moderna and J&J people are still in the lurch as far as getting a legitimate shot.

Alright, it's been three weeks and this is concerning. Seattle's overall trend is down. Seattle Schools overall trend is up. That's bad. That implies, not too surprisingly, that the transmission rate in schools is well in excess of the community background rate and the school-aged children outbreak is going to keep accelerating there even if it's level or slowly fading in the rest of the population. If the outbreak in the rest of the population starts going back up, cases in kids will get slingshot into space.

calling it a breakthrough is admitting the vaccines aren't perfect

this is bad because doctors and nurses talking about "breakthrough infections" are definitely what's causing antivaxxers to be reluctant about the vaccines, and not tucker carlson and glenn beck telling them the vaccine has a microchip that will turn them gay

They need to label it as "Post-2 dose series breakthrough" "Post-3rd dose breakthrough", etc. because otherwise there's going to be no way to differentiate between people who get infected after the initial 2-dose series and those who get infected after the booster(s)

I've been wondering if they are holding off on boosters because they know that some fraction of a percentage of people are going to have more severe reactions and the headlines will be "50,000 CASES OF HEART SWELLING AND ANAPHYLAXIS" and knowing our chud media that will be enough to turn many away from the vaccines for good. Maybe they think they only have one bullet left and are saving it for a variant targeted booster or until the existing two shots are basically worthless?

i bet the new thing will be hospitals and healthcare providers having friends/family/well connected folks come in to volunteer for 4 hours of office work (not even in the main hospital building) to double check paperwork, billing, etc. so they can qualify as "high risk essential worker" to get the booster

this already happened in 2020. my friends all volunteered at Covid clinics doing paperwork and got shots early as a result.

My prediction is that it's either not going to be very well defined, or that it'll be defined so broadly that it'll cover practically everybody.

I really get the feeling that Biden is leaning hard on people because they made him look weak by not having them ready to go for everybody by his September 20 date.

I'm just gonna say I work in a grocery, not like they'll ask to see a paystub. I bring food to people, you know. have to work all weekend but I have a 3 day window next week, will try to arrange to get it on the first of the 3 days

I’m just going to give my real name and get my first shot (of Moderna) because there’s no central database anyway. At this point I’m just waiting to sync my booster up with my kid’s actual first shot so maybe we can both have a better chance of not rolling a crit failure and getting death or organ damage.

they’re still at parity with community rate wise out here...

but they haven’t updated the school dashboard since the 17th. so don’t get to see the real trend until the next update.

living with covid means sporatic shutdowns, pretty much constant mask usage, and mandatory vaccinations. just pretending it doesn't exist isn't living with it, it is allowing it to be a perpetual crisis in which millions die and society is pushed to collapse.

Indiana. We love freedom too much to track that poo poo.

It’s possible I’m wrong in which case I’ll walk next door to a different place and make up a name because I don’t give a single gently caress anymore and will tell any lie to anyone if it makes my kid less likely to get infected and/or lose a parent.

Martin is a coward for not embracing multiple COVID infections being good thing. My man was on the front lines of the herd immunity movement, now he's stuck in the past. Next week Monica is going to start talking about post-vaccination COVID parties instead of boosters, and Martin will have nothing to match that.

the funniest thing is they won. Walensky was one of their opponents initially, and now she is going to go on TV this week to advocate a booster strategy that, on paper, looks like the Barrington strategy. Boosters and NPIs for the most vulnerable, but a return to normal for everyone else.

I think when they say "living with COVID" what they mean is, "Welp, we're out of ideas." There's always more they could do but they've reached the end of what they're willing to do.

My preschool teacher wife will be testing CVS readiness tomorrow. She’s >6 months from her 2nd Pfizer and there’s no way I could convince her to lie.

she’s a bit concerned because the scheduling site still only has “immunocompromised” eligible for “extra dose”.

I told her not to worry, since the facts are on her side.

It’ll be a huge relief once that’s done. Kids and parents are popping hot all over the place.
