i was wearing an n95 for training in another building, and the instructor pointed out the hand sanitizer, and i said, "no thanks, it's airborne," and he had a half-second pause before carrying on like i didn't say anything.

sometimes I think about saying something when people bring up hand washing and sanitizer, but then I remember pre-covid hand-washing statistics and let it go

admittedly it wouldn't be surprising if the people who didn't wash their hands then still aren't doing it now

lmao if either one catches COVID during the "over" phase.

They’ll both get the treatment that they have failed to purchase for the public.

Hell, they may well be on it already, as a prophylactic.

Oh I know. We won't even get fantastic content like the Trump helicopter ride to Walter Ried. But it will still punch holes in the "over" narrative.

Lmao if Biden has two doses of 1283 because it's obviously safe and obviously going to be way more effective than a wild type vaccine

it's so frustrating! like its stuff that i know you can do, because I've studied history and I know what old governments have done it! "quarantine" isn't a scifi concept it's an actual medieval italian practice! christ!

i remember very strongly that when shenzhen wanted to electrify its buses, they did it in like 4 years by just buying the drat things. which is supposed to be exactly how a liberal government does things. i work for nyc government and we'd probably spend 5 years on pilot studies with a 50/50 shot that somebody kills it for no good reason

ugh yeah. it's so loving bizarre to witness the difference between the two. I lived in a large Chinese city around 10y ago and at the time it had two subway lines. they were just starting construction on one or two new lines when I left. being an American I figured they would take 20y to complete and it would just be those.

I came back like 6y later and they had like 7 functional subway lines lol god I'm so jealous

(granted there are some downsides like they demolished a bunch of houses to do this and word is that the compensation is not really fair when that happens to you. but from a societal standpoint, sign me up)

quote:

Planning to fail safely is different from trying to eliminate all risk—which is usually impossible. At this point two years into a global pandemic, for example, even stringent lockdowns are unlikely to prevent all transmission of the coronavirus. When the CDC recently decided to use rates of death and hospitalization, rather than overall infection, as its primary metrics for the severity of the problem, the agency implicitly chose to minimize the negative consequences of the virus rather than try to suppress it altogether.

“minimize”

I was wondering why the cspan forum had a covid thread with far-right neckbeards that seemed to agree covid was no joke but were united in blaming 'open biden' for all things covid.

Now that they can blame a dem covid is suddenly a big deal and also Open Biden's fault. What a cute little echo chamber they have. :allears: Tweets about bipartisan covid underreporting so they can ironically post "just the flu" while unironically saying this shows Open Biden dems are equally bad actors. How much brainrot does it take to still be posting BOTH SIDES takes in 2022 :lmao: :eng99:
