I think this what drives me most insane, that people are saying to CALM DOWN and it’s like motherfucker, there’s a lot of good that comes with assuming the worse and preparing for it up front.. it’d be amazing if all countries took insanely good precautions now and omicron turned out to be nothing but can’t have that, capitaism machine must go burrr
they just want to be the voice of wisdom in the room full of panicky sheep and being all "Look, we need to be reasonable, I realize this is all troubling. Here are some well reasoned words that I think will help to assuage some of the hysteria that that we are seeing all too often in these troubling times,"

I can't wait for there to be like 6 chuds at work to come down with Omicron, and have to go without pay because of our stupid new PTO scheme that doesn't include time off for COVID.

That or they'll just show up and spread it

Covid really is just a personality for some people, isn't it? Some people have the Chicago Bears, some people have Joss Whedon shows, and others, well, they have a virus that is either going to peter out in the next couple years and become such a never-ending constant that it might as well have.

The variant that we now know as Omicron was identified less than forty‐eight hours later.

P2 standard is more or less the equivalent of N95.

I expect that 3M uses exactly the same machines, materials, and procedures to make products for both markets. They’re just printed and packaged differently.

masknerd's tests had all the 3m masks at ~99% filtration, so you're probably correct. they make masks good enough to pass all the 95% standards and brand them appropriately based on the region.

putting multiple certs on one masks confuses people. i have 3m n95 masks that are also kn95 certified with both standards printed on the mask. and the reviews on some sites are freaking out that they ordered n95s, not these terrible chinese kn95s.

it feels deeper than that, almost like if they acknowledge that poo poo will get bad that they’re admitting we’re in a perpetual state of COVID waves, which doing so would crush their worldview that there’s a post-pandemic world to return to.

If they acknowledge it, they have to bear some responsibility to not make it worse, to still be the good guy by their own ethos. Responsibility is liberal kryptonite.

You know the situation is bad when you start getting D&D posters popping in to say that everything is fine. Literally only happens when poo poo is on the upswing. It's one of those "oh gently caress" indicators like posts in this thread suddenly skyrocketing.

Covok is known for panicking in the lead up to the last presidential election, and “Covoking” was a term for irrational evidenceless panic. they are probably making a joke fwiw.

Well, lesse, otherwise healthy adults turned up to the hospital with symptoms. Half of them were vaccinated. >70% of people in South Africa are not vaccinated.

Hmmm.

The sample size is garbage and I'd want more of an idea about the vaccination rate of the region the facility services, but blunt analysis of the data is a solid lol out of lmao for vaccinated people getting hospitalized at an equal percentage to unvaccinated people

I listened to Bojo’s presser today and one of the reporters asked him if they were moving fast enough. he said that he was personally briefed on Thursday.

and then I went “lol a dead gay forum briefed me about the new variant faster than a head of state.”
