A grim warning from Israel: Vaccination blunts, but does not defeat Delta
(..)
Yet boosters are unlikely to tame a Delta surge on their own, says Dvir Aran, a biomedical data scientist at Technion. In Israel, the current surge is so steep that “even if you get two-thirds of those 60-plus [boosted], it’s just gonna give us another week, maybe 2 weeks until our hospitals are flooded.” He says it’s also critical to vaccinate those who still haven’t received their first or second doses, and to return to the masking and social distancing Israel thought it had left behind—but has begun to reinstate.

Aran’s message for the United States and other wealthier nations considering boosters is stark: “Do not think that the boosters are the solution.”

yeah if you're missing a hundred drivers you're not going to solve that by delaying school for a bit

AFAIK Israel re-implemented a mask mandate (while in-doors) since June 25

"Under the new orders, private gatherings are to be capped at 100 people outdoors and 50 people indoors, while at event venues, the cap will be 500 outdoors and 400 indoors. Additionally, no event can surpass 75 percent of a venue’s full capacity.

Mass events where there are no marked seats will be capped at 1,000 people indoors and 5,000 people outdoors.

Face masks will be mandatory in all closed spaces, apart from one’s place of residence, as well as in outdoor gatherings of at least 100 people. Masks are already mandatory in public indoor spaces."

I ordered a lovely GE side-by-side refrigerator because mine keeps icing up.

It's backordered for at least four months. Put my name in, paid, and it'll show up eventually like a latter-day Trabant. cool.

It was never about the food; eating out is about reinforcing your place in America's caste system as the served, not the server.

This seems like an unequal comparison because it's not just about "some school board meetings are calm", but about what those school board meetings result in.

Like, sure, mask mandates poll well, but does that polling result in a majority of schools/school districts implementing mask mandates?

The pandemic pushed dining out numbers back to 1980s levels, ie dining out has absolutely loving exploded since the 1980s in the US for a bunch of reasons including wallpapering over a real economy that poo poo the bed.

If you're a median middle class white collar worker in America, you don't have a lot of outlets to spend your $66K median household income today like you could in the past. My wife's grandma used to take weekend trips to New York City to go see Broadway theater; most Americans can't afford that anymore even if they live close enough to drive to Manhattan.

They certainly aren't traveling to Europe or any other number of middle class signifiers that were a thing 40-60 years ago.

Eating out is what they've got left to show that they're members of the privileged class, and when their servants opt out of being servants they go apeshit over it.
