BONGHITZ posted:https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202108/1231005.shtml they're right quote:What is being said in the West is full of contradictions. On the one hand, they claim that the Delta variant spreads quite quickly. This is supposed to be the reason to adopt stricter prevention and control measures. However, it has been used by the West to explain why China should relax its anti-epidemic measures and learn to co-exist with the virus. In a country as populous as China is, especially with high population densities in many places, the serious consequences of co-existing with the virus are unimaginable.

So my parents live with me in my house, and my mom got a breakthrough case diagnosed Monday. I'm going for my own tonight, but my work was asking "Is your mother isolating?" Yeah we're observing 6 feet and masking in the house I own. Christ. I decided to use my vacation time early.

Well gently caress. One of the interns found my lunch spot. There I am sitting there enjoying my solitude by the lake and I see someone approaching. Thankfully he complied when I asked him to not come any closer (about 30 feet at that point). He asked me about the fish and left. I don't want to have to take a mask with me for lunch. This is the exact thing I have nightmares about

Scotland opened nightclubs past 2 weeks and predictably my IG has been full of people my age announcing they have Covid. 4000 new cases today and its looking like we might get clubs closed again due to the new cases being in the 18-25 bracket. I just want to hear pounding techno again!

No fancy tableau page but here's my crude attempt to plot the correspondance between NYC-specfic case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths: Even in highly vaccinated NYC where reasonable people take the pandemic seriously it looks like the number of reported cases is still highly correlated with the number of hospitalizations with a 7-day lag. The number of reported deaths is still very low and the reporting lag is impacting the last few points, so it's not entirely clear yet if CFR is the same as before or lower due to widespread vaccination. Always worth emphasizing that the current wave is happening in the middle of summer. edit: added better image Nocturtle fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Aug 24, 2021 |

Atrocious Joe posted:they're right Yeah the whole "live with virus argument" is hilariously dumb. I know even in FL with the wild west Open Up ASAP environment I still see piles of new businesses closing each month in the area. China's approach was taking aggressive consistent actions early on, which while painful in the short run actually solves the problem of preventing exponential growth from taking off.

What was the most reliable rapid test currently? My wife's grandpa just went to the hospital for what is most likely the last time and I think I'm going to have to juggle a funeral and some family stuff in the next week or two and I'll end up on goondivorce.xls if I try to completely stop my wife from going down to see her grandma and the funeral but she would be totally on board with taking a rapid and a PCR test before coming back home and interacting with our newborn again. These any good?

NYC data also still consistent with an overall CFR of 1.4%, hospitalization rate of ~8% and hospitalization death rate of ~20%. This seems very similar to last year. Guessing the main impact of the vaccines is to drastically increase the number of asymptomatic and unreported cases. Once a case is detected and tested the likelihood of hospitalization and death is about the same pre-vaccine. Possibly because mostly unvaccinated people are still getting hospitalized and dying.

My office announced Friday that if the average cases/100k across the 4 counties where our staff live hits 25 then we'll go back to full WFH. It was sitting at about 21 and not moving much, so I think they thought there'd be time for them to prep and/or walk back the announcement if needed. Yesterday it went up by .3, but as of today it's at 33 so the next email from the execs should be interesting.

(For reference, Bethel Park is a near suburb chock full of chuds who fled the Monongahela Valley when black people started moving there. It's a little piece of rural PA right next to the city.) Bethel park votes to pass mask mandates at 9:51 pm, the night before the first day of school (self.pittsburgh) submitted 15 hours ago * by Dobross744772 Bethel park had voted to keep masks optional twice prior, and recently passed mandates for 2021. As it stands now, the issue is that, allegheny co. Requires any child tested positive has to quarantine for 2 weeks. And any unmasked student in the area, has to quarantine as well. Their was, of course, lead to grown parents throwing a temper tantrums. And as usual, there was the standard terms and acusations such as "Nazi", and other rhetoric often quoted on social media. Also the terms "sham", "scamdemic", and many conspiracy theories were used to justify themselves. Bethel Park was the last district in the south hills to mandate I for one cant wait to move to siberia. ]ahyoss01 -71 points 14 hours ago 75 million kids. 4.4 million have gotten covid. <400 have died. All in 18 months. There’s virtually no risk to kids. Every single adult in America can get a vaccine at any time and more than 1 adults out of 2 HAS gotten the vaccine. When does it ever end?

First place those numbers cover an 18 month period, not 12. If you annualized childhood covid deaths it’s <230. To contextualize that, 900 kids (age 0-20) drown accidentally a year yet schools have swim teams. 2,700 kids (0-20) die in car accidents yet we bus them every day. Secondly, the delta variant is more contagious but not more deadly or harmful. Close to 170MM adults have gotten vaccinated. Again more than 1 out of 2. It’s free and widely available to adults. The vast majority of adults are not at risk of anything serious from covid. That is the truth, that’s what the sat shows.

No, it's not. Pre-COVID, the idea of forcing someone to wear a mask would blatantly be a violation of that's person's rights. To argue otherwise is delusional. Now, for the safety of others, we may violate some rights in order to preserve the rights of others. One could hypothetically use this to justify stop and frisk, claiming that while it violates the rights of few, it could prevent the detriment to the majority and be the decision for the greater good of society. And that's exactly what this policy is, we are willing to violate the rights of some to preserve the rights of the majority. I honestly think that's a legitimate discussion to have and could be the right deicsion, but to think this is some below average intelligence argument is naive and idiotic.

so many idiots think they are opposing big pharma by saying "COVID is endemic" or "zero COVID is impossible" that's what Pharma wants, they get to sell boosters then! Chinese style eradication was possible and was the best option for the working class. Now we all get cheese lung and brain fog so applebees stays open and phizer stock goes up.
