you guys just want omicron to be the terminal twelve monkeys style apocalypse virus because it justifies your cowardly agoraphobic avoidance of everything over the past 18 months. the simple fact is that covid isn’t that bad, and if you are vaccinated it is over entirely. maybe learn to cut your losses and admit that all the masks and constant boosters were maybe a little bit too much, and that you might have overreacted a little bit.

An r0 of 36 is so far beyond any disease in history that we're all going to have it before Pearl Harbor Day (December 7 :patriot:)

That is also my feeling yeah.

Hopefully someone who can make that choice feels the same, but this is a multi-national scientific expedition that was already delayed by like 18 months because of COVID. Unless flights TO start being cancelled, I'll probably be there. gently caress.

Is there a source for this somewhere?

Like, that person in Hong Kong got covid via local community spread. Then they got in a plane for X days and landed in Canada? Where in Canada? And then flew to South Africa?

maybe with a new, aggressive variant of COVID around we should take more precautions and try to prevent the spread. not trying to be a nihilist, shutin doomer here but more people dying isn't a good thing I think.

Tell the airport security that you have a sore throat and can't smell anything, cough a few times, and they won't let you on. Save yourself

yeah but you can get a way bigger airtight container for like $20-30 and buy the beans for a lot cheaper. that’s what I did when I bought a 50lb bag of rice from the Costco

hmm, good point. people dying and the survivors getting lifelong complications and disabilities might in fact be good. people have been dying for a long time and we still exist. people were dying during the moon landing and that still went ahead.

Also seeing this poking around Amazon; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0754PLKSX/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 are these folks legit or are they somehow fraudsters? I'm a bit wary of buying stuff marketed to preppers in particular since, you know, until recently most preppers were right wing loons and they're not known for intellect.

look for stuff geared towards camping and hiking, similar price point but it will taste better if you want dehydrated food off of Amazon.

I wouldn't buy a tub of beans off there though, I've had problems with smaller quantities being moldy and/or damaged packaging

I just remembered my first crack ping when I was working at the beginning of the pandemic and my coworker/friend/mentor who was on leave came back and I was like hey this is crazy right? and she looked me right in the eyes and said it's not real but she's masked up because she's immunocompromised. I think that was when my mind dislodged out of the groove that is reality and I've been perceiving my existence as a twisting spiral of threads overlaid on the chaos realm that makes up our everyday lives

You sure it's not because it's Black Friday?

Panic won't set in until after the weekend, it takes time for news to disseminate and for people to go "Hmm, maybe I should do something".
