GDI went to Trader Joe's this afternoon and regret it. Doesn't matter that it was ~75% masked, just means there were only 2 unmasked people per aisle. Might have exposed myself and my family to the delta variant because I wanted to get some japanese sweet potatoes. Get pickup or delivery instead.

It's possible the western world gets it under control first through pure gluttony of vaccine supply

The vaccine is available to everyone 12+ in America completely for free and we're only barely at 50% fully vaccinated even with that ideal situation.

lol besides tv news ignoring it, so is everyone online as well
Afghanistan currently dominating everything, although what's it matter, it was the olympics last week, whatever else prior, covid doesn't matter

cbsnews has the covid tab and 1 headline mention about boosters



cnn 1 mention about boosters


drudge has 2 mentions, one about hospitalizations


foxnews 1 mention, tying Afghanistan to our border lol


huffpost 1 mention on boosters


msnbc with a covid tab, booster mention, fauci clip, bullshit

And even a 2-dose series can leave you permanently crippled, so those stats can be thrown completely out the window (same with Johnson & Johnson recipients)

This is the riskiest thing I've done by far, I've mainly given up and very much changed behavior. I went out once to dinner in mid March, pre Delta, after being fully vaccinated when capacity limits were in place. The pool party was someone else but my wife also went to the pool and I hid on a chair with a hat over my head after being freaked out , about a year ago.

Still masking n95 on transit and grocery stores and museums and in outdoor crowds; my kid will have kf94s for school, not going to go to packed bars or restaurants. But mostly empty ones? gently caress it sure

Covid isn't going away. My kid probably won't be vaccinated til next year . It isn't that big a deal in northern Illinois, yet. I'll booster each October.

It's the equivalent of me walking into a maternity ward and bragging about how much smarter I am than the newborns

look we just now hit the 70(.4)%* of 18+ vaccinated that was the goal to OPEN BIDEN which was then abandoned in favor of opening on June 30 so we could suck and gently caress on July 4th like true americans!

Now sure we were like 67.2% vaccinated on June 30 so we've only gone up 3 percent in 1.5 months, but basically we are totally safe now from this pandemic of the unvaccinated :shepicide:

*this is including first shot only people who are "in progress" lol

Also we are at 59.8% vaccinated for total pop in Oregon (4.7% in progress) so I rate your claim 29 pinocchios.

I was really just loving with you/highlighting how poo poo our vaccination rate is. But FYI I use this page which is to the best of my knowledge directly updated by the state of Oregon (for good or ill): https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/oregon.health.authority.covid.19/viz/OregonCOVID-19VaccinationTrends/OregonStatewideVaccinationTrends

why do they assume the doors had to be open at the same time like the virus was a laser beam or something, it could have wafted out into the hallway and floated around in the air there for a few minutes before the other door opened and in floated in there

I'm not a physician, but I work in public health metrics for a major US insurer.

My understanding of it, which may be entirely wrong but what we model for, is that once a significant enough proportion of the population is vaccinated, the disease's ability to propagate itself falls below replacement level and it dies out due to a lack of ready hosts.

I can't tell you what percentage that is for covid or anything else. I can tell you that it's happened already for measles in my lifetime. Why we suddenly can't kill off a highly communicable disease when we've already killed one off in my lifetime is left to the reader to figure out.

The answer to your (implied) question about the percentages can be found in this thread, where an epidemiologist lays out the (very simple) math:

We wouldn't want people to panic, though. That might upset Number. Better to just let the kids die quietly and hope the problem goes away on its own somehow.

It's an accomplishment that people can blame the unvaccinated for prolonging the pandemic while also believing that COVID isn't a big deal for young children so no special effort is required to prevent them from getting infected.

At least people aren't pretending children can't get or transmit COVID anymore.
