Grey Fox posted:politicians have figured out that they can say whatever sounds good to a particular audience at any given time because nobody actually cares about flip flopping anymore I actually kinda disagree with that. They used to be able to do that when it wasn't easy to record everything and put it online. Now they can't do that as much anymore because it's easy for people to bring up their statements made to other audiences. Somebody like Trump just powers through that and ignores it but most people aren't able to do that because they have at least some tiny level of self awareness.

mawarannahr posted:do Republican governors try this hard to serve their masters? Hochul specifically is doing anything she can to avoid having the right wing news machine label her the next crazy liberal governor since she wasn't elected and wants to cruise into re-election this year without opening any room for someone to run to her right which is funny because all she has to do is say "I legalized weed in NY" once a day for the next 8 months and she'll win re-election, even if it's not technically true or whatever

I listened to the full impeachment proceedings the first time around and Gym Jordan sounded like a total loving idiot, completely unhinged. Every single Republican I heard from thought he was a turbo mic-dropping genius because Fox News cut what he said up into flattering four second sound bites and their target audience doesn't listen to or watch anything else.

I think this was a bigger deal than you’re giving it credit for. Lots of other politicians and public figures realized how hard it is to be painted into a corner when you’re willing to just walk through paint.

Midterms are going to be lit, theres no safety measures anymore so variants, infectivity, lethality, injury, etc. are going to ramp up considerably so many more people dying or getting permanently afflicted, all for democrats to poo poo down their legs and get smoked in elections Like what the hell is November 2022 going to look like after months of zero covid controls

HHS Data POST 3/3/22 (and BNO): 2Omicron2Furious Yesterday - I posted BA2 Prevalence https://twitter.com/patricklsimpson/status/1499036171908747265?s=20&t=-A-cZpa37a6JhQzOfabZ2w Here are admissions trends for the past 3 days - I did 3 instead of 5 because of bad weekend reporting, but even then the 5 day trends still show 16 states with 10%+ increases. https://twitter.com/patricklsimpson/status/1499387442431881221?s=20&t=-A-cZpa37a6JhQzOfabZ2w Hospitalization Trends over 3 days. Same Caveat about bad weekend reporting, but also the 5 day still has 31 states with increases. https://twitter.com/patricklsimpson/status/1499404844729126916?s=20&t=-A-cZpa37a6JhQzOfabZ2w ICU 3 day trends; Same Caveat about bad weekend reporting, but also the 5 day still has 33 states with increases. https://twitter.com/patricklsimpson/status/1499404900723150856?s=20&t=-A-cZpa37a6JhQzOfabZ2w Now that I've posted these - I said earlier I think this a new wave. 1.The first indication is BA2 on the rise 2. Second indication is that numbers are shooting up for the first time - even with shoddy weekend reporting 3. Third is that the 7 day Bed Usage, ICU bed usage, Admissions averages are up 4. Bed Utilization is up to 77%, after hitting 73% a few days ago. ICU Utilization is up to 75% after hitting 72% a few days ago. 5. Critical Staffing Shortage + 7 HHS field is back up to 1100 after being around 950 for the past week.

went out for supplies today and I was pleasantly surprised to see more masks than usual, despite covid being over. the cute girl at the weed store (litteraly the only physical person I interact with on a regular basis, no self checkout at the weed store) upgraded from a cloth mask to a 3M aura

one of my previously full WFH friends keeps complaining in the group chat about how he doesn’t want to get covid now that he’s required to go into the office once a week, but he’s also sending pictures to the group chat of himself drinking at bars. mixed feelings on that one.

As long as they never have to forgo more profitable elective procedures they'll love it. And they'll never be expected to if the CDC isn't even asking people to wear a mask. Why not stop by and enjoy our gift shop while you wait for a bed!

He's just saying he doesn't want to go to the office and COVID is a good excuse. I mean, respect, honestly. I don't want to go back either, COVID or no COVID. (But definitely COVID.)
