And then there's this 70 year old hermit that lives in a cave in Serbia who has gotten the vaxx.



quote:

Almost 20 years ago, Mr Panta Petrovic made social distancing a lifestyle choice when he moved into a tiny Serbian mountain cave to avoid society.

Last year, on one of his visits to town, the dreadlocked man with a long beard found out there was a pandemic raging. After vaccines against Covid-19 became available, he got jabbed and urges everyone to do the same.

"It (the virus) does not pick. It will come here to my cave, too," the 70-year-old told AFP in his cave on the forested Stara Planina mountain in southern Serbia.

The cave Mr Petrovic calls home is accessible only by a steep climb that is not for the faint-hearted.

It is equipped with an old rusty bathtub that he uses as a toilet, some benches and a stack of hay that serves as a bed.
This crazy old bastard has more common sense than a lot of the idiots out there and that says something.

You don't 'make' counties, they just sorta happen.

EDIT: the details escape me at the moment, but there's a county somewhere in Nevada with no people. As a corollary, you can murder someone there with no consequences, because the law states that you have to be tried by a jury of people living in that county, which is impossible.

No, that's Yellowstone, which the District of Wyoming has jurisdiction over all crimes committed in, including those parts of the park which lie in Idaho and Montana. So if you invoke your right to a jury trial for a crime committed in the Idaho section, you'd need to find a jury composed of people who are all simultaneously Idaho and District of Wyoming residents—but the Idaho part of Yellowstone has 0 population.

The place in Nevada you're thinking of was one of three counties in the US with 0 COVID cases as of nearly a year ago, with a population of nearly 1,000.

I think he meant this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullfrog_County,_Nevada

A nuclear waste dump made its own county to avoid local politics, where literally anything, including murder on a broad daylight, would have flown under the radar because there was not enough people to form a jury of peers that could dish out a ruling.

Gibson told The Bee that the district’s position is that the incident “absolutely should be prosecuted” by law enforcement.

“Assaulting a staff member will never be tolerated on any school campus, and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Gibson wrote to parents. “I beg that we do our best to set all feelings aside and look at what is best for students.”

Amused? I think not.
I've basically been on lockdown since July of last year. I did get vaxxed, though. However, I allow myself go the the bar on Thursdays for lunch, just to get out of the house once a week.

I found out today that, after I finished my lunch there yesterday and left, it closed down. 10 employees have tested positive for COVID.

Guess I'm really gonna quarantine for a couple weeks, now. drat the Delta.

Blargh.

I wonder if/what my local pharmacies are going to ask for when it comes to 'proving' that I'm immunocompromised and need a third shot. I wouldn't even know what to ask my doctor for, and I'm sure the pharmacies have no plan or policy in place yet so I guess I have to wait a bit longer.

Also wondering if I should try to get a moderna as my third since my first two were pfizer.

If you are immunocompromised just say that, if you are just randomly getting more shots because you have decided You need one on some “more vaccine = more safe” don’t run any complicated scams, just walk in and get one with no ID and don’t take up busy people’s time messing with some big complex act With some big complex premise

Welp my kid got covid from his chud preschool. He had a mild fever last week Monday after school and a slight cough for the first hour after he woke up. We kept him home from school Tuesday-Thursday. Got him a covid test and he was negative so he went back Friday. School emailed us on Friday saying one of the kids was positive, but he had been on vacation and not in class for the past 1.5 weeks, so we should only have to quarantine until Wednesday this week.

We kept our kid at home the whole week. He still had a slight cough so we got another covid test and he was positive this time.

He's otherwise fine and a complete nightmare at home, running and screaming and smashing things like a normal 4 year old.


So anyway, gently caress you if you're not vaccinated.

Is there any guidance on this booster shot stuff or is it literally just we can now go to a walgreens and tell them we're immunocompromised, show the card, and get a booster?

I’m waiting on a booster to see if
1. a new booster tailored to Delta gets created
2. it becomes a bit more readily apparent that a booster of the current vax is helpful/necessary for non-immuno-compromised people and not whatever is going on right now

Oh, to be clear, I am actually on fairly serious immune-suppresant medication. I'm happy to go through a legit process if they get their poo poo sorted quickly. But if not, I'll figure something out. I don't want to sit on my rear end for another 2-3 weeks while Delta takes off here, especially as schools open next week I think.

If I wasn't suppressed I would probably also wait for variant-specific boosters.

The thing about travellers is interesting. Does that mean you won't be allowed to fly in if you aren't vaccinated? Curious how they will check that, since as far as I know, there's not an international agreed upon way to show proof.

The best part there is there's also the requirement for mandatory vaccination for passengers on federally regulated transport industries, not just employees. That includes all flights including domestic.

Feds are supposed to have a standardized vaccination passport ready in... September I think? It was originally for something more standardized for international travel but I could see it getting wider use now.

The hospital system where Wifezwang is gonna have our kid is now requiring all visitors to be vaxxed OR show a negative non-rapid result from the last 72 hours. Those tests aren’t necessarily easy to get either, depending on demand in your area.

I wonder how many people will end up getting jabbed simply because they don’t want to deal with the increasing number of restrictions like this.

This is entirely the point of mandates. To make it costly and/or inconvenient not to be vaccinated to the point where people break down and get it. Not because they had won the war over themselves and truly love Big Brother but because it’s a pain in the rear end not to be vaccinated.

The CVS at the corner doesn't ship their unused vaccines to Ghana at the end of the day, they go in the dumpster.

Better they go to goons for their third or fourth or fifth shot then they're just thrown away.
