The disappointing May consumer confidence report was reported one day after the CDC said "open everything up guys, covid's over!"

I have absolutely no doubt that the administration got early numbers, panicked, and reacted by ordering the CDC to remove restrictions. lol

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,
Welcome to the beginning of a new academic year at Clemson. To all of our new faculty, staff and students joining us for the first time, we are thrilled that you are here.

While we all hoped this pandemic would be behind us, the Delta variant has revived the need for us to take proactive measures to protect our Clemson community. Each of you can help make this a safe and healthy campus.

As we announced yesterday, masks are required in all Clemson facilities statewide for the next three weeks — except when you are in a private residence hall room or office or eating in a dining hall — as we work to curb the spread of the virus. The science is clear that this is a very reliable method to help protect yourself and others.

If you are not vaccinated, now is the time to consider doing so. The vaccination clinics are conveniently located next to our testing site at Fike where Clemson has one of the very best testing programs in the country. I would encourage you to take advantage of this free, rapid, and abundant testing service. Visit our COVID-19 website for more information about our testing requirements and other protocols.

Click below to view my welcome message video.

I wish you all the best this semester. Let’s work together to have a safe and successful year.

Go Tigers!

lmao Idiots

after august confidence numbers come out there will be a "You don't need to wear masks if you get the booster!!" guidance change. it almost perfectly lines up with the sept 20th booster rollout

lol that "Cuban doctors are slaves!" thing is still going around? It fuckin rules because everybody who whines about it just ends up describing a boring employer/employee relationship and can't even find one of the doctors who is angry at the setup. It always comes down to them seeing medicine being treated like a skilled trade without any limits on enrollment and central deployments in the vein of any other skilled contractors as literal slavery.

If those doctors had absolutely nothing about their situations changed at all but they were being contracted by HRW with them taking an equal share of the agreed upon fees they'd be perfectly fine with it even.

My understanding is that america is the only country in the world that puts doctors on such a ridiculous pedastal that they are gods among mere mortals analogous to c suites. In England the doctors put in loving peripheral IVs. If you asked a doctor in america to do that you'd get the same reaction as if you just told them to get in there and clean the poo poo off that cdiff patient. Utterly beneath them.

This is also why so many of our doctors loving suck. They get high on their own bullshit and utterly dismiss people's concerns until, oops, maybe they should have looked into that before it developed into stage 4 cancer or whatever. Especially for non-white, non-cis-dude folks.

Eh I'm a hypocrite anyway because I go to the gym 5 days a week and I'm like the only person with a mask there. Plus my job has a fun mix of dicknosing and executives just straight up not wearing masks despite it being mandated. Something about a 200 person class in a big recycled air lecture hall just gets to me, probably cause it's new. Least they're required to be vaxxed.

turned into this: https://variety.com/2021/music/news/garth-brooks-cancels-stadium-tour-concerts-1235043959/

quote:

Country superstar Garth Brooks, one of the few reliable stadium-fillers in the business, has canceled his remaining shows for 2021. The performer said refunds will be offered on the approximately 350,000 tickets that were sold for stadium gigs in five cities.

Brooks had previously indicated that he was rethinking upcoming dates, in light of spiking COVID rates. He’d previously done stadium shows in five cities this year.

“In July, I sincerely thought the pandemic was falling behind us,” Brooks said in a statement. “Now, watching this new wave, I realize we are still in the fight and I must do my part.”

there is a lot more not being said I bet, LMAO. four days is also the average incubation time from infection to symptom onset...
