every single official from the top down that's in charge of any person at the CDC needs to be removed. the entire organization is corrupt and untrustworthy from top to bottom

remember 9 months ago when the biden admin took over the CDC and a bunch of career folks there fled? or when right before the mask mandate change in may some of the top CDC career officials fled again?

the entire CDC needs to go

It's really hilarious at how poorly the CDC is contrasted to places like Israel or Singapore which are cranking out a wealth of new scientific findings on things like variants of concern.

I've had really good experiences with therapy via videoconference but you definitely have to be willing to say this isn't a good fit and leave.

my current therapist is pretty good, when I said that I hope Abbott gets wrecked by his Covid infection her response was "2021 owes us."

How long have the Pfizer/Moderna booster studies looked at the efficacy of the shot after the 1 month Mega-Titers? Or are these studies still in the works?

Delta's too new to have any data past one month. I'm sure we'll get updates like "third shot holds up well after 3 months!" as time progresses

At my last apartment, the fire alarms went off all the time at all hours. After about the third 2am alarm, you just look out the window. It's easy to tell who just moved in, because they're loitering around out front, waiting for the fire trucks to shut it off.

disney chat reminds me of back in 2020 when the 'rona was just kicking off and poo poo hadn't closed down yet. there was this streamer lady who made videos at Disney world and she was streaming at the park while obviously suffering from some kind of horrible sickness. her friend posted that she was "vomiting from every hole" or some such.

anyway, she's probably dead now.

Part of the reason that people believe only 200 new cases were caused by Lollapalooza is because they feel like that number should in fact be knowable, that the state should be doing contact tracing that can determine the figure. Most charitably people aren't aware that the US never had any serious contact tracing capacity and even if it did the current case rates would make it useless. More realistically people care more about the nice-sounding number and don't think too hard about it's accuracy, to say nothing of the people aware it's baseless but cynically use it to motivate more opening ups.

I think Chicago's at like 25% of what it's supposed to have for contact tracing, and of course this is only reported cases in Chicago. Thankfully, nobody from outside of Chicago attended, so we have absolute certainty that it was only 200 cases.

Disney has a wastewater treatment plant that generates non-potable water for the park but not sure about drinking water

Also fun fact, a lot of wastewater treatment facilities have a secondary treatment process that involves whats called aerobic digestion: feeding bugs and microbes pure oxygen so they can spawn quickly and efficiently mow down contaminants within wastewater

Companies like Moderna have started pre-clinical trials in August for the most commonly occurring variants.

Boosting with the "Regular" recipe does seem effective for recovering efficacy lost over time after around 6 months.

wonder what kind of totally unintended consequences we'll see from turning that oxygen off. maybe just giant algae blooms that ruin the plants and hardware, necessitating complete shutdown and loss of water treatment for months
