Why so much interest in a pretty statistically minor occurrence? I feel like it's time to move on for those of us previously trapped or working from home.

https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1503923776207175680 okay, this is a four-minute clip, and I don't want you to waste your time watching all of it, so I will explain my point in text this is six different White House correspondents, asking Press Secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly about whether their "thinking has changed" about implementing a No-Fly-Zone and sending fighter jets to aid Ukraine. That is, the White House's current position is currently "no, we are not doing that", but the intent that you can read behind questions of these reporters is that they WANT the No-Fly-Zone and the fighter jet transfer to be done, and they're just lobbying for Ukraine by asking repeatedly about "have you changed your mind yet?" at about two minutes, one of the reporters is quoting Former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch: quote:We need to mitigate risk, but it's also true that not taking greater action comes with a risk as well I bring this up, because a position of "if we do nothing, that by itself is adopting a certain position, with its own resulting consequences" is precisely the opposite of America's COVID policy all this time.

That guy's describing his new covid experience the way a wine taster might ponder the characteristics of each glass. Ah yes, this BA.2 variant lacks the outright debilitating playfulness of Delta, but displays just a hint of Omicron's crowdpleasing ubiquity.

Thoguh posted:After seeing how mad people are that the COVID thread still exists now I’m not so sure we don’t have another wave coming immediately because people that don’t post ITT trying to get it shut down because COVID is over has, thus far, been a fail proof way to predict a new wave. look at this way Of the 10 busiest airports in the US 1: Atlanta: Georgia is seeing increases of admissions and hospitalizations, and wastewater is up in Augusta and Decatur…no info out of Atlanta. 2: LAX: Wastewater is showing some increases but there’s no pattern yet. 3. Chicago: On fire 4: Dallas: On fire 5: Denver: on fire 6: JFK: NYC is up 20% and central New York is on fire. Wastewater is crazy high in Western Connecticut too. 7: San Fran: same as LAX. 8: Vegas: On fire 9: Seattle: The surrounding county is on fire 10: Charlotte: NC data is showing huge increases in various cities. the second list I looked at had Orlando on the top 10 instead of Charlotte, and that showed up on the wastewater map yesterday.

Pingui posted:Some potentially good news on the IP waiver: I mean assuming that other nations follow in the footsteps of most of the world and use vaccines as a replacement for a pandemic mitigation strategy rather than as an element of one, isn't this going to just make things worse? I mean like I was saying before, while I'm a booster bandit and on the short term individual level urge everyone to get vaccinated (as often as they can) isn't widespread use of a non-sterilizing vaccine in the absence of meaningful NPIs and with incomplete vaccination among the population just going to do what it's been doing so far and help promote for more antibody-resistant variants? I mean it's good news in the short term and all but yeah, isn't this ultimately just more bad news? I mean maybe I'm wrong and misunderstanding the situation, but yeah. My understanding was that combining a non-sterilizing vaccine with a population that is not completely vaccinated (thus allowing lots of chances for unvaccinated people to infect the vaccinated) and with the absence of NPIs to stop the resulting variants from quickly entering into general circulation is precisely part and parcel what has brought us to our current situation WRT Omicron dunking on our vaccines.

This would also be the required framework for a sterilizing vaccine, but moreover you are thinking this in terms of a strictly Western perspective, where the COVID deaths have been exported to poorer countries (I don't mean this as an attack on you as it is a natural bias, just making you aware). It can mean higher likelihood of vaccine breakthrough variants, but it certainly means fewer people dying in poorer countries "immediately". Whether breakthrough infections of man's vaccines or nature's vaccine is more likely to produce categorical breakthrough variants, I don't think is clear. Edit to elaborate on the latter point: Idle speculation on my part as a non-expert, but while exerting pressure for very targeted mutations when many people are monovaccinated, the likelihood of producing some fresh Omicron like multi-mutation beast seems more likely if you have a wider spread on the exerted pressure. Like when jumping species. Pingui fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Mar 16, 2022 |

Oh, yeah, no, I know it will save lives in the short/immediate term in poorer nations and I'm glad for that, but I'm just wondering if it's not a case of what we've seen in America where we save some lives in the short term but kill and maim many, many, many more in the medium and long term. But yeah. Here's hoping, and thanks for the answer. And I mean yeah, considering they're being hanged out to dry anyway, I'm thankful for anything that helps people in the immediate term on the individual level, just I'm wary about the long term population effects.
