OF course, my company is now following CDC guidelines some more, so due to being a "yellow" county, masks are no longer required!

Lol oh my god, my local NPR station has a ghoul on saying that future hospital strain is “unlikely” because the virus can’t get around all of our immunities now and also there’s monoclonals and Paxlovid, so this is going to “become unavoidable” and “that’s okay.” They’re really going balls deep on all of this poo poo.

Yeah, basically, I don't think I will see a mask ever again in my office, while I continue to wear my respirator due to people dropping like flies.

Paxlovid, the rich people drug that is certainly going to prevent hospitalization in a country with terrible access to healthcare.

Apparently that ghoul was Amesh Adalja, who has been horny as gently caress to let it rip for a while now. He was saying “we should have removed masking recommendations a long time ago” while completely ignoring that over 120k people have died so far this year.

When I checked last week there were fewer than 100 courses of Paxlovid available in my area, and I live right by the state capitol which has a bunch of hospitals. Sounds like I have access to Paxlovid! No word on whether the concierge doctors have a stash for their clients.

It seems unlikely that 100 courses of Paxlovid would not have already been spent, if measly peons have access.

I'd respect these loving people a bunch more if they just said "sorry, we've determined that most of you are an acceptable loss to keep the machine running, good luck and god bless" instead of lying to us with talking points that anyone who's been following this pandemic in the slightest knows are bullshit that hasn't held true for years.

I've been out of the loop for a bit, but is BA.2 actually rapidly increasing anywhere in the US right now to the same extent Omicron did when it 1st showed up?

Really cool that I had finally convinced my partner to take more precautions just in general, and now the open 'er up pressure has him determined to hang out masks-free for dinner at our friends' apartment. Even cooler that as the date approaches, his initial assurance that me attending in a mask and not eating would be no big deal has evaporated. "Actually you could just stay home. Isn't that the safest option?" Yeah dude, it's the safest option for both of us. I wasn't stoked about an awkward hangout and potential exposure anyway but I don't like the divide I'm seeing here and wanted to meet you halfway. I also wanted to see my friends, believe it or not, because even my introverted hermit rear end has limits. Instead I was up stress vomiting all night because everyone around me has given up, not only that but demanded I ignore reality and give up too, and when he sees our friends I'll be hanging out alone with a corsi cube that HE LITERALLY JUST BUILT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO but now covid is OVER lol Fuuuuuuuck

I don't know how either of us can see each other's needs as being reasonable. I have been trying. This pandemic has absolutely destroyed relationships all over the place, including my brother's decade+ long marrage Turns out "you can't have treats for a while" is the line where people will burn everything down.

The existence of Paxlovid does not have an impact on how I feel about COVID if I can't actually get any.

It is looking like having OG Omicron provides a decent level of protection against BA.2 so we probably have a couple of months before things kick off again. But we're gonna simmer along at a level higher than last summer and with no real information about the level of background spread in the meantime.
