Fluffy Bunnies posted:E: The fishing thing was a local anecdote up at a lake in Appling, GA. It's just so dumb though. Every time there was anything going on locally these maskless talking heads encouraged everybody to go to it. Maddening, but not surprising. Georgia's poo poo-tastic approach to everything about the pandemic has been, just, aggressively bad. I'm glad I'm in Athens. It's an island of still-masked, socially distanced, largely vaccinated blue in a sea of red.

I've been up a couple of times in the past year to deliver some sheep to farms (always masked, socially distanced, etc). Augusta area is just a clusterfuck and Kemp doesn't help.

Galewolf posted:Some of my fave Covid lol memories in no particular order of happening: Uggggh Joe Rogan I listened to him for years before the pandemic, he was a likeable blockhead who interviewed interesting people along with his dumbass friends, somewhat harmless entertainment imo, you learned a thing or two (along with moon conspiracies haha we don’t believe in those but what if, right haha) He randomly invited Alt right characters but he himself seemed neutral, he would invite some leftist activist the next episode to balance it out, stuff like that. Some alt right characters dug their own grave during his show just by talking (Milo something? Remember that guy) When the pandemic started, Joe was all scared and freaked out and invited Peter Hotez to talk about vaccines and seemed pretty reasonable about taking it seriously I stopped listening around the beginning of the pandemic, just because of general anxiety, but I was like “oh, Joe will do ok, he might help” Then he got his 100 million payout from Spotify and it was masks off, moved out of commie liberal LA to Texas and first episode was Alex Jones, who had been previously invited (as they’re “friends”, but also just to test what they would get away with under Spotify ) Invited dumbasses like Alex Berenson and gave them a huge platform to say covid wasn’t real and the plandemic and so on It was quite a shock to go back to listening to Joe in the peak of the pandemic going on about “pshhh just buy my supplements and work out a little this poo poo is the flu masks r dum I’m strong boy etc” Bill loving Burr was so much more reasonable and called him out on it and that interview revealed so much about Joe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG5JjUQHVIE I just can’t listen to him anymore I’ve had personal friends betray me and that hurt less than finding out Rogan was a loving selfish idiot after all those years of seeing him as a decent guy Couldn’t wear a loving piece of cloth on his face for a while, what a loving macho man

Ran across this article from 2001, about ACT UP San Francisco. The group had gotten taken over by AIDS-deniers, folks who claimed that HIV was harmless and that you couldn't get AIDS if you ate "whole" foods and poo poo. Almost all of them were HIV-positive. It's a depressing read, but is an interesting insight into how little things have changed. The AIDS Deniers quote:As if 18.8 million deaths worldwide weren't bad enough, there now emerges an ACT UP group that argues that HIV is harmless, that AIDS is a myth and that unprotected sex is everyone's birthright. There's a lot more. And the most depressing part is that you can google every single one of these people and find their obituaries. Every one of them died of AIDS.

The vaccination numbers are not high enough to force herd immunity with the variant transmisability. Israel numbers may be enough, definitely worth watching to see if 60% of all pop is the magic number. If the variant seeds in US this will happen there as well, unless the number of second vacs being higher makes the difference. A mathmetician modelled some figures, and thinks that 1 dose after 4 weeks reduces hospitalisation by about 85% and almost 95% with two based on whos being hospitalised now. But its is so spreadable that without NPIs such as stay at home orders and instructed and lockdown initialized for the months needed to get that vac number higher, its going to get a large number of unvacced and some vacced that will create a third wave. Probably less than the 2nd, but its most likely coming now.

The seasons are driving the waves as much as anything we do. We should take that into account, but we’re not going to. We may find that vaccination uptake that is “enough” in the summer is not enough for the winter. “No one could have seen this coming”, they’ll say.

I got a vaccine and a week later some dipshit at work came in sick and didn't tell anyone and now I'm sitting at home with covid and not getting paid. You ever clonk your head real good and you get a weird kinda metallic taste in your mouth for a minute? I got that all the time now, I wonder if I have brain damage. When I take a shower it feels like I have water in my sinuses which is a little unnerving. Like a vague sense of drowning the entire time.

Yeah, I almost think that peak summer in the US might have very little in the way of cases with some locations dropping down to no detected cases for a while even. Vaccination + Natural Immunity + Summer is probably enough to keep transmission down quite a bit. It's gonna be interesting/scary to see how quickly it comes roaring back in like October. It will also be interesting to see if mandated NPIs return anywhere in the US if there is a new surge in cases next winter. A really big factor will probably be how well the natural immunity to the wild type fares against the variants out there. I've heard not good, but I've yet to read any studies specifically about that.

I got fully vaccinated back in April, and went out to eat a couple times and have had people over and been over to people's houses, and now I've had a sore throat for a few days and a slight fever today, and I have to wait until next loving week to find out if I have Covid or not because the stupid doctor's office didn't have rapid tests. I really should have just gone to Walgreen's. I was feeling pretty good about being in post-pandemic life now, but all it took was a minor illness I would have normally just chalked up as a sinus infection to leave me paranoid and quarantined again. Everyone I was going to see this weekend is vaccinated anyway, but I still don't think I can justify hanging out until I know, at least until symptoms go away.

Yeah it's definitely a good idea to avoid people until you can at least get tested. If it is covid it sounds very mild, so you can probably thank the vaccine for that.

At some point over the next few days i think Boris might regret his decision to ignore his own scientific advisors who warned him not to proceed to stage 3 of the covid roadmap yet as we didn't meet the requirements of the fourth test and could experience a third wave if he did. (He won't, like all his past fuckups and we're already starting to see the blame being shifted onto the public for not enough people being vaccinated in some hotspots, despite the fact their uptake is the same as the nautical average.) Still, good job the deputy chief medical officer told us we all need to be vigilant. Hopefully everyone will be keeping an eye out for the virus and avoiding it from now on.

The telegraph front page today is loving shocking. It’s all about how a group of concerned doctors, parents, and celebrities have written a letter asking Boris not to allow kids to be vaccinated because they feel it’s too dangerous and you might as well just play hbomberguy’s video about the MMR jab right now.

Here's a quick video about the lockdown protest in Melbourne today, it's the usual fuckwits and conspiracy loons. Special mention goes to the middleaged white women who are ADAMANT they're good people and paragons of virtue but then immediately start acting like massively entitled assholes. Make sure you watch until the end where the state health minister lays a sick burn on them.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alt_Bva8tIU Looks like there were only about 100 of them and they were WAY outnumbered by the cops and almost none of them made it into Flagstaff Gardens where the rally was supposed to happen. Some of them gathered a little ways off and tried to hold a march through the streets but only got a few blocks away to Victoria St North Melbourne where they were pepper sprayed and loaded into divvy vans   I didn't spot any Star of David badges but there was this one woman with a suuuuuuuper  protest sign: I also spotted a MAGA dude at last night's pre-lockdown protest at Flinders St:  freebooter posted:Here's the front page of Australia's only non-Murdoch metropolitan tabloid today: Ahhhh gently caress
