No clue if these are legit, but this is how my Amazon order came. I figured they are being careful with the 3M stuff since the scrutiny and lawsuits now, but if not guess I'll die.

I posted a few scattered times in the last thread, and felt the need to report more findings. I'm a retail manager of a rather big thrift store in a major city, and a big part of my job is keeping an eye on things in general, so I spend a lot of time on the sales floor (safely). Corporate gutted our power to enforce any kind of masking in our store a few months back, and at first the masking really plummeted. I would say maybe two out of every ten shoppers still masked up, and this is with a sales floor that usually has from 10 to 50 shoppers at a time. In the last couple weeks however voluntary masking has spiked from 85 to maybe even 90%. The only people that come in unmasked anymore are almost exclusively white boomers and their ilk, and they look around like frightened cats the entire time before they leave. So, at least here, and from my obviously tiny sample size, the general public seems to be catching on something is up. Obviously not enough to not pleasure shop for hours in a store full of unwashed, used goods surrounded by other people, but enough to at least put on a mask.

This thread has been talking a lot about child mortality due to COVID, understandably, but the risk of long-term impacts from a non-fatal infection is also significant. In fact people often dismiss concerns about COVID in children by pointing to the low mortality rate and ignoring the much higher rate of long-term disease. The estimated rates are all over the place but very roughly about 5% of children in the 2-11 year old range experience symptoms persisting out at least to ~3 months. The fall wave will likely have the large majority of children infected without any vaccine protection, and without hyperbole millions of children will likely contract these long-term symptoms. Long-COVID is still not understood! Even in children it's often not just a months long cold and in some cases can be very significant, as the NY times article about pediatric long COVID linked from the thread spreadsheet describes well. It seems plausible that it could be due to some dysregulation of the immune system. If so, these effects could potentially be permanent or recurrent. No-one knows! Here's a short Nature summary of the current understanding of pediatric long-COVID that I don't think is in the thread spreadsheet. Some ghoul in the D&D thread actually linked this in an attempt to downplay the significance and rate of pediatric long-COVID, and it was like did you even read the article? Nature posted:In May, Armann’s group reported in a preprint that it found no difference in rates of symptoms reported by the two groups3. “This was kind of striking,” says Armann, and suggests that long COVID in children is probably lower than some studies have indicated. That doesn’t mean that long COVID doesn’t exist in children, he says, but it does mean the number is probably below 10%, a level that would have been picked up in the study. The true figure is perhaps as low as 1%, he says. Nocturtle fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Aug 19, 2021 |

I have a friend back in Hawaii who is currently refusing to get vaccinated. He lives with his grandmother and his dad. He is waiting for the novavax vaccine because that is the one that he wants to take. He's recently been telling me he is having panic attacks because his job might start mandating that he get vaccinated or tested weekly. I'm just venting, but this is a guy who watches prepper youtube and is supposedly ready for a "SHTF" situation and the idea of talking to someone about this is giving him panic attacks.

https://people.com/human-interest/texas-couple-who-declined-covid-vaccine-die-leaving-behind-four-children/ Although the article doesn’t say it, people on social media identified them as having been in the news previously. They’d already been infected by covid before and thought that they therefore didn’t need the vaccine

Kate Larose sat slack-jawed on Monday night in Canaan as she watched her local school board deliberate its back-to-school pandemic policies. Larose, whose 8-year-old son is immunocompromised, had requested Zoom access to the in-person meeting. But about 30 minutes in, people took over the virtual room, calling in to say the n-word on loop. A man eventually appeared on screen and began masturbating. Officials then shut off all access. Karen Conroy, Canaan’s superintendent, wrote apologetically to Larose later that night to fill in the blanks. The board had voted 5-0 to reject Conroy’s recommendation that the district begin the school year masked. https://vtdigger.org/2021/08/18/vermont-is-taking-a-local-control-approach-to-the-pandemic-in-schools-in-canaan-that-means-no-masks/

The Demilich posted:IHME a while ago (before Delta) estimated the US was at 900k+ dead. I'd love another updated estimate like that this year. So when we opened er up, I think we were around 600-650k officially dead. When we consider the different parties interested in keeping these numbers low, there are many: the federal govt, the state govt, each state's medical leaders, the individual groups of state representatives, the owners and profiteers of the nursing homes, the jails and prison owners. Pretending to not be a doomer for one second, I think we are FAR higher than just 1/3rd of the deaths being unreported...technically, we dont even know when the first COVID death was in America because there is a good chance it was spreading prior to March 2020. I know there are charts that talk about deaths and how many are unexpected vs the trends we normally see with the other leading causes and I dont really know where to access nor, truthfully, interpret them. I am a laymen and I don't pretend to be an expert in anything really other than hedonism -- but I would bet my very last dollar that it is probably closer to 1.5m+ than it would be 900k...maybe my point doesn't really matter in the end though? gently caress it man, what really does... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
