I am saying that despite multiple states being fully open for a month, and many others easing restrictions, we are actually in a much better situation than we were this past fall. And things will continue to get better now that vaccines are going full steam ahead.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

I remember I was working at a summer camp in like 2002 and one of my kids got whooping cough and then Jenny McCarthy came along and I realized then that we are hosed.

I think the most compelling reason I ever heard for opening schools up was a high school teacher who said two of her students committed suicide last Spring, from depression induced by the isolation. That doesn't mean Open Biden is a good strategy (it isn't), but COVID is just another manifestation of how adept this lovely country is at propagating depression and atomization.

Suicides went down last year but congrats on repeating completely disproven prestige media talking point.

A part of my job is monitoring stuff like this and suicide rates were down in 2020 compared to 2019 even though behavioral health utilization was up.

More people looking for counseling or seeing shrinks, less people topping themselves.

I wasn't, I just said an individual said that to me, it was sad, and I couldn't dispute her in the moment with Facts and Logic because that's not how people work. I don't think America is particularly good at keeping people happy, but admittedly I don't know exact statistics.

yeah it feels very freakenomics, but even the CDCs numbers confirm: suicides were significantly down in 2020

It's more compelling than most, because anecdotal stories from individuals often are. But you don't use one-off examples like that to dictate policy. I felt bad for the teacher, there's really nothing else to say.

yesterday management told us that covid is over (for the third time) immediately after glossing over the fact our covid+ hospitalizations are increasing as cases increase across the state. michigan covid respects borders and won't cross over into indiana. god bless america openerup

Some local hospitals are seeing a concerning trend: New cases of COVID-19 are ticking back up across the state. Thursday alone, nearly 1,400 additional cases were reported in Indiana. Nearly 800 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalized, and hospitals told 13News they are suddenly treating more younger people sickened by COVID-19.

"You know, it is scary when you see these people, a 26-year-old, on a ventilator," said Dr. David Dunkle, CEO and president of Johnson Memorial Health. "It doesn't make you feel good." Some health care providers fear the situation is going to get worse. "I think we are in the beginning of a fourth surge," Ledyard said. "I am worried about that. I hope, we really hope, it doesn't get to the numbers we had around the holidays."

Unchecked, many believe there could be a perfect pandemic storm.

I've read that a big crisis like this can counterintuitively lead to easing depression because it can give people a purpose and a feeling of camaraderie too in a lovely society like ours where I personally think a lot of depression comes from people subconsciously grappling with how pointless their jobs are and how isolated they can be from traditional support networks

That's pretty interesting. If that's true, you probably need a skilled political leader to carry that solidarity momentum forward.... Now excuse me while I check who the President is.

I also think that the vocal contingent of people who want to get their kids out of the house and back in schools and get back to the suck n' gently caress party at Applebee's are just a loud minority and that most people are happy to spend time with their families. Every single working person I spoke to who worked at a restaurant or other public-facing job back last summer was more than happy to stay home and take the Berniebucks while waiting for this to blow over. It's the petit bougies who were upset about closures, not the people in trenches.

Well, I mean it obviously did. But there are many similar models and the striking bit is how they catch the fat distribution correctly. Were I to venture a guess, people living in the Northern hemisphere probably yo-yo'ed a fair amount in weight depending on season. Anyways, it isn't really relevant to the irrelevant BMI derail.

Venuses are theorized to be women's self portraits. After childbirth, the view a woman has of her own body, top down, looks exactly like a willendorf venus. Boobs, rear end, stomach, no feet.
