'Cause we're the good guys.

Somebody in my local subreddit asked about where to get masks, because they're sold out everywhere. I suggest a place that still has real masks in stock. Downvoted immediately. When I comment that I wouldn't go into a public place in anything less than a legitimate N95, insults start flying.

Top comment? "Just get some cloth ones, you can rewash them over and over again, no sense in adding to landfills."

https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2021/08/21/2121624/doh-finally-concedes-there-may-be-community-transmission-delta-variant

quote:

MANILA, Philippines — After weeks of denying that there is community transmission of the Delta variant in the country, the Department of Health finally conceded Saturday that the more infectious coronavirus variant may have reached that level of transmission.

“Based on the samples that we see and the results coming from the Philippine Genome Center, it looks like community transmission is there,” DOH spokesperson Maria Rosario Vergeire told state TV.

This is a marked departure from the DOH’s previous statements that tend to reject notions that there is community transmission of the Delta variant, as there was supposedly not enough evidence to prove this.

There is community transmission when people contract a disease despite having no known contact with a person infected with or exposed to the disease.

Early in August, the DOH said it is assuming that there is community transmission of the Delta variant to “better manage” the rising cases, but did not officially declare that there is that level of transmission.

The DOH’s concession came after the executive director of the PGC, which screens for coronavirus variants in select samples collected from patients, told DZBB that there is community transmission in the country.

“As far as we're concerned here in the Philippine Genome Center, we're already seeing community transmission of the Delta variant across the country. We've seen many cases where we cannot identify the source," PGC executive director Cynthia Saloma said.

Saloma also told the radio station that the Delta variant is probably driving the rise in coronavirus cases, which hit an all-time high on Friday.

Philippine health authorities have so far detected 807 Delta variant cases.

The presence of the Delta variant prompted the government to place Metro Manila under enhanced community quarantine from August 6 to August 20, but government officials admitted that it did not have any impact in lowering the number of cases.

Despite this, the government decided to ease restrictions in the capital region and in the province of Laguna, which is under the laxer modified ECQ until the end of the month.

I don’t know if they check, but it wouldn’t surprise me. I googled “Colorado Vaccine Registry” on a whim and it took me right to the site. Entered my name and birthday and it showed all my flu shots and my Covid Shots.

Melissa Joan Hart gained fame in the early 90s for a Nickelodeon sitcom called "Clarissa Explains It All", where she'd go through the motions of being a middle-class American teenager, but she'd also break the fourth wall by addressing the audience directly about how she feels regarding the current episode's conflict or issue.

Melissa Joan Hart recently suffered a breakthrough infection of COVID-19, and was quoted as saying:

quote:

I'm mad, really mad, because we tried and we took precautions and we cut our exposure by a lot but we got a little bit lazy, and I think as a country we got a little lazy, and I'm really mad that my kids didn't have to wear a mask at school. I'm pretty sure that's where this came from. I just really hope my husband and the other ones don't get it, because if someone has to be taken to the hospital, I can't go with them

in the sense that she's blaming other people for her predicament, "Clarissa Disdains Us All" is a play on the title of her breakout role.
