CVS or rite-aid are where I'd go if I didn't already get a third shot. If you're going the immunocomprised route anecdotal reports here have CVS giving the least amount of fucks. If you're going to max titers it, rite-aid's official company policy is to not turn anybody away if they don't have id or insurance. ymmv

ok just for fun i'm gonna turn on the local 911 dispatch right now and see how long it takes for just my area (which does not include any big cities) to get to 5 covid or covid-like-symptoms calls

keep in mind these aren't cases, they're people desperately calling the emergency line for help because they can't loving breathe anymore or their heart is exploding

This thread moves too fast so I'm not going back a dozen pages now to find and quote the post about some D&D poster still thinking Chinese infection figures are fake, but it reminded me of this thing that I thought you guys would get a kick out of.

https://twitter.com/SecBlinken/status/1427328903123722243

This is a bizarre tweet from US Secretary of State Blinken where he appears to be under the impression that there were Chinese citizens in Afghanistan who were in some kind of danger.

This is bizarre because it's well known (in China anyway) that on July 2 the Chinese government had already determined that the situation in Kabul was beyond hope and had chartered planes to immediately evacuate all PRC nationals from Afghanistan, except for essential diplomatic staff and a few other folks who wanted to stay. So was Blinken asking China to deploy the PLA to protect Americans in Afghanistan? Anyway.....

https://new.qq.com/rain/a/20210708A08OBR00

This is a news report from July 7 about how a plane arriving in Wuhan on July 2 had 52 covid positive passengers, the accurate reporting of which caused some alarm amongst Wuhan residents. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wished to clarify that this was that chartered plane evacuating Chinese citizens from Kabul, and that in anticipation of there being covid carriers, the plane and crew had been specially prepped and equipped so that the covid positive passengers could be transported back to China and straight to quarantine in Wuhan.

I just saw a Chinese news report from Kabul now, the embassy is still operating normally, with the Taliban providing guards to ensure the security for the Russian and Chinese embassies which they have guaranteed. A few business people who had chosen to stay report that they still travelled around the city normally, with the only change being that they could no longer approach the airport for fear of being shot by a crazy American.

Edit: Also it makes so much sense that the Cassandra COVID thread is full of DBAs and people who understand and appreciate what DBAs do :lol:

It really does. Definitely not a DBA myself (I'm one of the weirdos who got a CS degree, and then went into management and got an MBA), but I have some serious respect for what they do. It probably helps that I do know enough to usually be able to call people out on poo poo not passing the sniff test.

Pretty much every DBA I've ever worked with has had a laundry list of stories of arguing with people that if said people want poo poo to not be completely terrible, they really need to do the non-trivial thing. And then not being listened to and getting paged at 4 AM because "the loving database is slow again and it's endangering our SLA commitments".
