Melbourne is definitely heading the way of Sydney with uncontrolled spread. 39 cases milling about in the community despite hard lockdown.

Only difference is our Premier will not give up on getting to zero (yet) so I'm expecting even harsher restrictions if that's possible. Curfew moved from 9pm from 8pm? Travel limit from 5km to 2.5km? No food takeaway/delivery at all? That's all we got.

Over here we have all businesses other than supermarkets and pharmacies closed (that includes takeaway food places) so if you can't cook it yourself you can't have it. Also no driving allowed at all unless going to the supermarket, so you can only exercise as far as you can walk in your local neighbourhood. Practically no cars on the streets because there are only a few legitimate reasons to be driving and police are doing random checkpoints to make sure you have a reason. Lots of people walking around the suburbs and kids riding bikes on the roads though given how empty they are now, which is nice to see.

School District Employees Declared 'Essential Workers': Asplen

Sarasota County Schools employees who have been exposed to COVID-19 but are asymptomatic can quarantine at work while wearing a mask.
...
"We were having a hard time having enough bus drivers and cafeteria workers…to operate as we should be," he said.

With the workers deemed "essential employees," the district has worked with the DOH to create a plan where asymptomatic staff members can quarantine with work while wearing a mask, the superintendent said. This is "exactly what we need to ensure that we operate."

Oh I know I’m privileged. I took out a bunch of loans to do school and also qualified for a low income scholarship program. I’ve spent my entire adult life handling my finances like I’m about to be unemployed and homeless due to childhood bullshit. But now I’m not living paycheck to paycheck and will absolutely do what I can to keep my kid from panicking regularly at the expectation that it will all suddenly fall apart.

My point is not that the juice will be available to all <12s, just that it won’t be limited to “the rich” unless your definition is so expansive as to be useless. I completely agree that they should approve <12 basically immediately, but also it has been demonstrated that our institutions are not designed to give a gently caress about us at all, so I’ll get my kid shot up as soon as possible even if I have to leverage the fact that I have managed to save some money and can afford healthcare for him.

& in case it’s not crystal loving clear :d2a:

The point was that private practice pediatricians have a lot more leeway to administer off-label medications and at lower doses than pediatricians at free clinics or hospitals would have. Access won't be limited to the rich but it would almost certainly be excluded from the poor. Trying to find a amenable doctor with no insurance is not something they can afford.

Can't find the amount of uninsured children for 0-12 but the rate for 0-18 in 2019 was 5.7%

I'm taking the evening off to watch movies and relax since I got my booster. Haven't really felt any ill effects but day is still young. Kind of wild that I was able to get a booster in such a short time of them approving it. Glad I have a good doctor.

I just realized the flaming lips are playing literally one block from my apartment at an outdoor amphitheater, and I can sit outside and hear them just fine. walked around and saw very few people wearing masks in the line to get in! imagine paying money to give yourself covid when you could literally not go near anyone instead. gently caress it, I haven't heard live music in drat near two years and we literally don't need to be near anyone at all so im seeing no downside here

Good Luck! I took the whole day off from work to get it done. I almost didn't get the booster when I got the healthcare place the front desk was really adamant that they weren't doing boosters and I was like "No , my doctor ordered this for me" and then there was a whole kerfuffle where they had to talk to the doctor. In the end though I got my booster.

So I'm planning to finally Titer up. But I did have a strong reaction to both shots so far (Moderna crew) and yeah, I'm also a little leery of what I'm hearing about myocarditis? Like not vax hesitatn, but more like 'is the vax booster shot the same as the initial dose/second dose?' Like if/when I show up and introduce myself as Max Titer here for my first shot, am I getting the same dose of Moderna Juice as if I showed up and introduced myself as Tom Ato here for my booster because I am immunocompromised.

As I left the hospital after doing a lung scan on a covid patient who is rapidly deteriorating and probably won't make it, I went down the hallway with hr.

All I could think of was how we failed them and got all choked up the rest of the walk back to my car. Getting all snotty right now thinking about it again.

I see.
Then other than just general incompetence, given all the surplus doses... why the gently caress hasn't there been a general policy of giving boosters? I understand the CDC is inept and evil, but generally that willful ignorance and malice has been in service of capital. How does anyone, anywhere, benefit from not giving boosters when doing so would require literally no additional effort?
