How much higher are breakthroughs with delta that it changed anyone's calculations? Serious breakthrough cases are still really rare.

College students moved back into town this weekend. Went to get groceries earlier and out of the 10 that I saw there, 2 were wearing masks. This is going to be very bad in a few weeks. Would be nice if they gave a poo poo but that's college kids for you.

I grew up a huge Jenny McCarthy fan because she was both a playboy playmate of the year and the host of MTV's singled out while I was a teen.

Never once did I think "here is a woman who should be giving people medical advice".

back in the early days of the internet in computer class one of the kids in our class downloaded a topless picture of Jenny McCarthy on the computer hooked up to the big 32 inch CRT on one of those mobile carts. Everyone in the class saw it except the teacher was facing the chalkboard and the kid who downloaded it managed to close out the window a split second before he turned out to see it.

that's the extent of interactions I've had regarding Jenny McCarthy

It's just amazing to me how completely over COVID is for most people at the same time that hospitals fill up and we enter a huge wave.

It is why I gave up! Nobody in my life is taking any precautions so it doesn't matter. Enjoyed my vacation in Mankato though.

around four days ago my boss (it's one of those situations where i can answer p much any question so i'm essentially his google as well as BizDev as well as IT; there are a lot of boundary issues is what i guess i'm saying) hits me up if i've ever used DuckDuckGo and i'm like, "nah. i'm not batshit crazy so the search results provided by Google are normally fine for me."

he didn't really get that but his next question was if i had ever heard of ivermectin. sure have. he wants to know if him and his buddy (they both own horses) have some of that like... how much would they need to take because obviously the bottle doesn't say how much to take and they can't ask the people at Rural King because there's a sign next to the horse paste saying "don't loving eat the horse paste."

'i mean, i... wouldn't?'

he says, "well yeah me neither it's just -- with (son's name) back in school and playing travel baseball and (daughter) back in school: we just don't want to catch this you know?" the whole office is unvaxed. 'just need some more data.' that type. anyhow, i just got a text from him asking if i'd go check on the horses since the whole family is over at the hospital since his chud friend apparently ate like a whole tube of horse paste and flopped into a coma / various degrees of Glasgow. i don't know if that was code for making sure there wasn't any ivermectin laying around but whatever: i said i'm really busy and hope his friend gets better.

so i assume he'll probably have it within the next five days since they don't really mask or anything.

maybe i'll just call in this week.

anyhow i'm not a doctor or anything and this is just anecdotal evidence but maybe eating horse paste you bought from Rural King is a subpar idea unless you're medically accredited to know how much horse paste that you bought at Rural King to eat. thanks for your attention to this matter.

lmao… I do like your interpretation of his request as “make sure there isn’t any lying around”

They should make "special" COVID vaccines "for livestock", stock them at tractor supply, and then strongly warn people against taking them.

I feel like these numbers aren't going to drop until the general attitude changes. The way that health communication has gone I think that's still a fair way off.

January 2020 covid deaths added from Wisconsin and Kansas

https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/08/22/exclusive-first-u-s-covid-deaths-came-earlier-and-in-different-places-than-previously-thought/amp/

closing in on Ames lab leak theory lol


quote:

In a significant twist that could reshape our understanding of the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, death records now indicate the first COVID-related deaths in California and across the country occurred in January 2020, weeks earlier than originally thought and before officials knew the virus was circulating here.

A half dozen death certificates from that month in six different states — California, Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wisconsin — have been quietly amended to list COVID-19 as a contributing factor, suggesting the virus’s deadly path quickly reached far beyond coastal regions that were the country’s early known hotspots.

Up until now, the Feb. 6, 2020, death of San Jose’s Patricia Dowd had been considered the country’s first coronavirus fatality, although where and how she was infected remains unknown.
