and this section is the one that bumps it to a felony:

a sign, for example. a posterboard advertising free masks to wear, in a broad interpretation. a poster or sign insisting that masks be worn in any given venue, in another.

Ah but you miss that this will be left up to police officers to interpret, who are widely known for their careful, nuanced approach to the law.

Are there any charity orgs that help pay for COVID vaccines for low income Americans?

So from all the clinicians and doctors that even bother giving PCR tests to their patients, it sounds like KP has less gastrointestinal symptoms and it presents more like what looks like an allergy. Swollen weepy red eyes, clogged noses and congestion in the lungs.

Or 4.0, whatever version of the thread we're currently on. And really I feel like we were predicting mask bans two or three years ago. It took time but it really was only a matter of time. Kinda like the biosphere collapse thread is right, just not yet.

idk, i think there's a shot stuff like this re-ignites the lib ODD with respect to the GOP's extremely pro-covid poo poo. if it's tarred as a republican cause in an election year where it looks like trump might win, maybe it won't spread much.

Weekly Australia update! We have some data!

Vic covid hospitalizations are accelerating like crazy

https://www.health.vic.gov.au/infectious-diseases/victorian-covid-19-surveillance-report

Vic metro wastewater also quite high



National aged care cases & outbreaks also high and still rising

Twitter link


It's pretty obvious now that we're well into another surge but also that the recent dip didn't drop down very far and maintained fairly high levels throughout. The fact that they recently reduced reporting in Vic to every 2 weeks due to "low levels of covid" is pretty infuriating in light of that, cases have been elevated since at least last August
