The BBC radio man is saying that North Korea is canceling their plans to go to the Olympics because of covid, and he says that this is because their "medical system in North Korea is very weak" so they cannot respond to the pandemic effectively. Our policies is and always were and always will be the best prepared regardless of numbers or outcomes or life expectancy. img-most-prepared-countries

We still only get spray bottles of this yellow hydroperoxide poo poo that smells kinda like cinnamon but more importantly stains all of the plastic and straps yellow. The whole department permanently looks like it is covered in piss.

On California reopening: quote:On June 15, California will fully open its economy if two criteria are met: Note that case rates don’t factor into the decisionmaking at all, nor does the number of vaccines actually administered. edit: just crack pinged at the realization that they only care about hospitalizations of vaccinated adults, just naked disregard for unvaccinated children.

Corporate IT has permissions to nuke that account from orbit but I don't care because it's only work stuff on that account. Only use my work laptop for anything work related though. Not even gonna sign in to a web based thing from my personal PC because gently caress that.

Crazyweasel posted:What is the rationale being provided for a computer toucher to be sent back to work? Are your companies struggling to get things done? There's no real justification for the vast majority of people who work in offices to be full-time on-site and strongly encouraging a hybrid model that heavily favors WFH (ie, 1 or 2 days in vs. 3 or 4 days out) would be a massive environmental win. Keep in mind that a lot of companies are under external pressure to bring employees back in, though. I've got two big clients in two pretty different industries that both permanently shuttered their main offices and made everyone remote, but one of them (in CA) is going back on that decision. It's pretty much entirely because the city is strongly lobbying them to stay open. Nobody's happy because most of the employees who are left are the ones who wanted to remain fully remote, so I have no idea how this is going to play out. The other issue is that good hybrid remote models require a lot of employee independence. You don't really want things like set schedules because you ideally want your teams to be on-site for collaboration and not for work that they can do at home. That means trusting your employees to choose when they should be in the office probably on an individual or team basis. That's way more freedom than a lot of companies are comfortable with giving their employees.

looking forward to the cheery news reports in 2 months: "The CDC Corona Risk Well Health check report today is: GREEN! You are good to go! There is no risk today!* In other news, a fourth refrigerator truck has shown up at the local hospital. The hospital director assured us this truck is to store tasty treats and Vax Pops(tm) which are given to newly vaccinated residents. The director confirms the CDC-mandated ER Risk Score is low as fully vaccinated patients make up a tiny, dwindling part of the ICU. There are plans to rapidly expand the ICU to a temporary outdoor setting this weekend as all of the polled hospital staff said they preferred the breezy, nice outdoor weather as a treat for their hard work. * (no risk calculation only valid for fully-vaccinated peoples who are also fully booster vaccinated and child-free. All other people are encouraged to Get The Shot by accessing gettheshot.org to learn more)"

They should have a good idea what times the vaccine availability sites update and drop new spots. You gotta be there ready to snipe them as soon as they drop. It's all over the place--some super early in morning, some random times during afternoon, etc. It's loving ridiculous.

got another vaccine breakthrough case here: https://www.king5.com/article/news/...d3-eb365a201f36quote:Diane Schmidt of Delano has been sitting in a hotel room in Mexico since Thursday, unable to leave. is anyone tracking breakthroughs? BNO has the nice reinfection tracker. I'd love to see something similar for breakthrough cases. Not that these are unexpected or alarming on their own, but we really need to track the total numbers and look for any unexpected trends like more than the expected ~5% or so per the trials. It's also super useful stuff to send your boomer parents after their shot to help pound into their head that it is not safe to be loving around and finding out after the shots right now.

if we think the gaslighting is bad now, just wait in 2 months when the message will be "well yes of course the vaccine isn't perfect and you can still get sick... but LOOK you're less likely to die! ALSO LONG COVID DOES NOT EXIST!"

We don't have any info on going back to the office beyond "probably sometime this fall" but they've said that pretty much anyone who wants to can plan on being work from home a few days a week. No details yet but I'm expecting that it'll be similar to geographically remote groups I've worked with in the past where there are just certain times when it's expected that you'll be able to be in the office if asked. Like anything in person will be on Tuesday/Thursday afternoons or stuff like that.

Bruce Hussein Daddy posted:https://www.wmbfnews.com/2021/04/06/dhec-sc-sees-over-covid-breakthrough-cases-fully-vaccinated-people/ yeah the thing that raised my eyebrows was this report: https://www.king5.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/washington-breakthrough-vaccine-cases/281-9278cb21-6b14-4746-a2b7-91725282c24b 102 breakthroughs, which is totally expected and within that 0.5% threshold but there were 8 hospitalizations and 2 deaths from fully vaccinated people NONE of the trials saw those outcomes. and the discourse over the last month has been "you are 100% protected from ever seeing the hospital once vaxxed" well, there are 10 cases right there to rip that idea to shreds. i'm not personally worried about it but someone needs to be loving figuring out why there are hospitalizations and deaths not seen in trials. the deaths were apparently two people in their 80s. that seems expected to me honestly given that a study has shown people over 80 would only see vaccine antibodies 1/3 of the time after their second shot. basically old people have bad immune systems and a vaccine doesn't help them much. those 8 hospitalizations for people under 80 though.. WTF for sure

She then went on to say/allude that it must be a language barrier or that the parents don't know how to check their email because most of these families aren't familiar with computers and that they have low education, so they didn't might not have gotten the notice that it's time to return back to school lmao just loving kill me Not to fear, in Biden's America the genocide will be Well Health Certified (tm).
