maybe we should continue to be vigilant against the very deadly, communicable respiratory disease with multiple confirmed varients because it is part of a holistic public health response.

The number one problem with this disease is that the individual risk of death is low enough to encourage risk-taking behavior but high enough that this behavior is a societal disaster. lol

Yeah, I'd say it hits a sweet spot but honestly I think as a society we would have accepted a way higher level of deaths just fine as long as it was still concentrated in old and brown people.

i still find it hysterical that COVID-19, the virus which kicked off the global pandemic, effectively no longer exists. it has been supplanted entirely by more dangerous, more contagious variants to the point that B.1.1.7 is the predominant US strain. the virus you all were hiding from last june is effectively nonexistent now.

this is fine though, even though nothing about the case or hospitalization or death statistics has improved since this time last year, we are good to go. open 'er up and get back to brunch!

A great part of respirator crew meltdown posts is that respirator crew is like five people and those five people rarely make a big deal out of being respirator crew.

"Are you forgetting that just this afternoon I was punched in the face by a turtle now dead?
my union emailed me about a partnership study that UW and Apple are doing to "understand how everyday devices like an Apple Watch or iPhone can be used to identify illnesses like COVID-19."

...

why the gently caress did we set up Exposure Notifications last year on our phones then? Lmfao.

hey, it's a free Apple Watch if you do the study. sign me up swag daddy.

Everyone talks about how efficient an mrna vaccine is even against variants like the South Africa one, but I'm more interested to see how it does against whatever variant is dominant in India in 3 months.

By the time we find out there will be another new and scary variant, which is why you should stop worrying

I ordered two 3M respirators + cartridges from the OP last night, the way I see it even if the risk of these variants is overblown I can still use them for painting and sanding and poo poo like that.

Looks like Bangalore is rapidly unraveling. Cops have set up a barricade on the street leading to the CMs house in fear of people going there demanding hospital beds. A BJP politician blamed a bed scam specifically on the 17 Muslims in a Bengaluru covid war room, publicly naming and shaming them. However, while the bed scam is apparently real the MP in question may have been involved and they are now demanding his arrest.

I only wear KF94s because I'm able to WFH the vast majority of the time and am able to do shopping during times when places aren't busy so a respirator would be overkill for me (watch me get COVID from the grocery store now).

Also, fire season.

If you live somewhere that has a fire season and you don't have a respirator for every member of your household, you're missing out. They're way better than disposable N95s and a cloth mask pretty much won't protect you at all.
