covid gonna absolutely rip through the crazies in the state legislatures.

people like DeSantis and Abbott aren't crazy, they're just power hungry with absolutely 0 remorse for murdering their own citizenry. They're both vaccinated probably with boosters.

Hearing that Abbott was already boosted with a third shot, plus that CNN article saying Pfizer/Moderna recipients will get boosters but J&J havers can twist in the wind, is what crack-pinged me into getting a booster myself

Unless you're the right level of elite, in which case you get them pumped in the second you test positive to actually get the benefits.

Nah I'm sure it's real medical testing and that she just keeps shopping around for doctors that keep going through the same motions to tell her they just don't know! Because they are too loving cowardly to just yell at her to knock it the gently caress off she is either faking it for attention or has conversion disorder.

That's exactly how they see it. These are the same people who, centuries ago, would be telling us that we have to trust the priests because only they can interpret God's will.

uh we don't call it conversion anymore we call it psychogenic non-epileptic seizure or psychogenic tremor

although i had a neurologist tell me once "if they're an adult with a stuffed animal, it's conversion.'

trusting the science is fine, just don't trust the CDC lol. I'm sure there's lots of serious professionals doing good work within it, but every part that is public facing or policy guiding is 100% political and unmoored from "the science"

trust the authorities in countries that have actually crushed COVID, imho

I liked how in the middle of her thread on respirators, Naomi Wu as politely as she could responded to people citing CDC stuff by pointing out that they had been wrong about absolutely everything this entire time so maybe please don't consider them a good source for planning, I need to revisit that to see if anybody got all pissed at her

i think it's really more that the CDC is making public health decisions in the best interest of the government and there are definite cases where that interest is not aligned with the best interest of the individual. like wearing masks in march 2020 when hospitals couldn't get them, or getting people out and spending money in april when it looked like the economy was going to collapse again.

quote:

Cowling and his colleagues analysed exhaustive test data from 101 people in Guangdong who were infected with Delta between May and June this year, and data from those individuals’ close contacts. They found that, on average, people began having symptoms 5.8 days after infection with Delta — 1.8 days after they first tested positive for viral RNA. That left almost two days for individuals to shed viral RNA before they showed any sign of COVID-19.

...

In the latest work, the researchers also found that those infected with Delta had higher concentrations of viral particles, or viral load, in their bodies than did people infected with the original version of SARS-CoV-2. “Somehow the virus is appearing quicker and in higher amounts,” says Cowling.

As a result, 74% of infections with Delta took place during the presymptomatic phase — a higher proportion than for previous variants. This high rate “helps explain how this variant has been able to outpace both the wild-type virus and other variants to become the dominant strain worldwide”, says Barnaby Young, an infectious-disease clinician at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases in Singapore.

The researchers also calculated Delta’s ‘basic reproduction number’, or R0, which is the average number of people to whom every infected person will spread the virus in a susceptible population. They estimated that Delta has an R0 of 6.4, which is much higher than the R0 of 2–4 estimated for the original version of SARS-CoV-2, says Marm Kilpatrick, an infectious-disease researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “Delta moves a bit faster, but is much more transmissible.”
