I can’t really work remotely so I’ve mostly been working in person since March 2020, fortunately most of my coworkers are vaccinated and masked but that’s starting to go away lately, I’ll probably join respirator crew in the next few weeks. poo poo sucks, but a mask really isn’t that bad, given the alternative.

AceOfFlames posted:How can they have “gotten it under control” if even fully vaxxed it’s a roll of the dice any time you step outside? it's not a roll of the device when you take some precautions like masking. and ultimately governments will be forced to take stricter measures to control the pandemic. there are 3 ways I see it ending: 1) we have incredible luck with vaccines and boosters and don't gently caress up a second chance at vaccines to eliminate the virus 2) we find treatments--this is how HIV and AIDS went in the end. turn covid into something with a tiny CFR that can be treated and managed, long covid prevented, etc. 3) it mutates into something more transmissible but less deadly--this is the 1918 flu path. 4) we strict lockdown like china for 2-3 months and eradicate it worldwide. it's probably not feasible but i can dream i don't see an option that's hell world everything is forever changed and never the same. the world is definitely changed but it's not life as we know it is over. i'm doomer numero uno and even i don't think we'll have that future. it will probably be a combo of all three--boosters buy some time to get treatments and ultimately we adapt as quickly as the virus adapts to outpace it

smoobles posted:If you aren't doomy enough for a respirator, I highly recommend Vog masks. They're KN95 equivalent, fairly stylish and the most comfy mask I've found all pandemic. There are sizes in between Small/Medium/Large, so it ends up being so well fitted that I regularly forget I'm wearing it until I'm in my car alone, halfway home, looking like an idiot. man we’re right back to everything that was one year ago. only wear masks that wrap around the back of your head. $30 will buy you 10+ n95s, or 25+ kn95s with head straps

lol this pisses me off minorities have the lowest vaccination rates, while when polled, extremely partisan old conservative whites are the most likely to say they'll never get a vaccine *thinking as hard as I ever have* this is the fault of my ideological enemies and we should focus our efforts on convincing those conservative whites to get vaccinated because Trump is!!! vaccines are free and available everywhere, of course there isn't an accessibility issue!
