I also wince when I'm watching a Let's Play or any youtube video with multiple people in it from the beforetimes and one person keeps coughing or referencing the fact that they're sick and they just carry on. I think I'll get over being outside without a mask on with enough time but I think I'll still have a more visceral reaction to being near someone who is coughing/sneezing for a while.

Tagra posted:If Coronaviruses mutate slowly, how bad is it to half-rear end the vaccine? Is it reasonably likely to result in resistance like bacteria, or do the viruses mutate slowly enough that it simply wouldn't protect very well? Let's not engage with "rationalizing a half-assed response is worthwhile" at all. Just, like, can we not, please?

On top of this, it seems like TV shows and movies have mostly gotten back to normal. Like all the late night talk shows seem to have returned to the studios along with the audiences. Which seems weird although I'm sure they have people spaced out wearing masks. Movies are still being made somehow. But what gets me the most is alcohol commercials. They are STILL showing large groups of people having a grand ol time in bars/clubs etc. That hurts to see, and judging from what I'm seeing a lot of people doing ( partying it up) it's not helpful at all.

Look, as a Floridian I can confirm that DeSantis' Covid response is not half-assed. He's actually put his full rear end into making sure that the virus infects as many people as possible and that the economic damage from this will last for years instead of maybe a year at most.

Like all the late night talk shows seem to have returned to the studios along with the audiences. Which seems weird although I'm sure they have people spaced out wearing masks. Movies are still being made somehow. The UK show The Great British Bake Off created a 'bubble' by housing about 80 production crew, cast and contestants in a hotel for the entire filming run. They also had to include about 20 hotel staff and the contestants' families and pets in the bubble. It must have cost millions of dollars and disrupted thousands of people's lives and it was still a massive gamble that could have gone horribly wrong but their argument was "The nation needs this show, we have to do it because it's so important!"  quote:The Great British Baking Show is the closest thing the world has to televised Xanax. And when the coronavirus pandemic forced the planet into lockdown this past spring, GBBS producers knew that captive audiences, more than ever, needed television’s most-soothing series. (I'm sure the fact that the show is MASSIVELY profitable for the network and they had a whole range of giftware waiting to be rolled out for the Christmas period had absolutely nothing to do with the decision)

Melbourne Australia has now gone 46 days without any locally-transmitted infections (we have 7 international travelers in quarantine who tested positive) and has mostly opened up and removed a lot of the restrictions but the medical industry is still reeling from the outbreak we had earlier in the year. We had a few hot days (but not extreme heat) and last night the ambulance service was overwhelmed with a 20% increase in the amount of calls they usually receive, most likely as a deferred effect of people not seeking medical care during the outbreak. quote:Victorian Ambulance Union secretary Danny Hill said last night was one of the busiest nights paramedics have had all year. If a state which has pretty much eliminated covid 6 weeks ago and has universal healthcare and a well organised, efficient ambulance system is struggling in the aftermath of an outbreak, that's a real bad sign for any country which is in a worse position.

Hasn't Victoria's ambulance service been getting austerity slashed for a while? There was a massive union imbroglio over it a few years ago, when every ambulance you saw was painted with slogan ragging on the government.

https://twitter.com/andrewperezdc/status/1338738636393738242quote:The Huffington Post reported on Monday that Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is joining GOP senators in backing corporate immunity legislation. A draft of the legislative language obtained by The Daily Poster includes provisions that would: quote:Shield companies from all coronavirus-related actions retroactively — for at least one year, or until the pandemic is over — except in cases of “gross negligence.” Most coronavirus-related lawsuits would be forced into federal courts, which are considered more friendly to business interests. quote:The latter package did not include a new round of $1,200 stimulus checks sought by Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. Only $188 billion of the proposal is new stimulus money — the other $560 billion is repurposed from the CARES Act, passed this spring. They finally found a way to stop those pesky labour laws and the Civil Rights Act from holding corporations back during a pandemic If you try to sue your company for giving you covid the AG could fine you $50,000 in order to make an example of you, LOL Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Dec 15, 2020 |

Trump did not force the approval through. Under any competent administration it probably would have been a month earlier, but thanks to his idiotic attempts at tying it to the election it was necessary to be extra careful about how they presented the approval, including the additional month of safety data thrown on. There was never any realistic chance that this would not be approved, the extra delays have really just been an attempt to partially rebuild public confidence.
