If the NYT is to be believe we had over 266k new cases yesterday.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html

:confuoot:

From the NY times numbers:


The current wave started at roughly the same time across the various regions, which makes the difference between case rates in the south vs elsewhere striking. Wondering if this is most plausibly due to vaccination rates, school starting early in the south for some reason, or just localized outbreaks taking more or less time to get going.

Basically how screwed am I sitting in the northeast.

we had a few weeks around 110k-120k and a peak day of 132k in the last surge. this surge looks like it's going to at least hit 120k and probably stay stuck there for quite a while. last time we were this high in hospitalizations it was early december and _every_ state was locking down, closing restaurants early in the evening, etc. now we're masks off, everything open, and back to school

Wait, they kept the positive kid in school? My kid's LAUSD school had two cases and both were sent home for the 10 days quarantine.

they quarantined the positive and the desks immediately around them.

all optimism ended in may when the CDC burned the mask mandate. there was some genuine optimism in january as vaccine rollout actually went well and didn't crash and burn, and study after study was showing the early effectiveness against wild strain was incredible. but we totally bungled that first mover advantage and may never get a good handle on this and the coming waves ever again

we'll have more deaths this year than last year and on the other side of it will be a big mission accomplished banner and a ticker tape parade for joe biden for doing such a swell job. and then covid will be declared officially over and we will repeat the process again, with even more deaths next year.

Close family in one state had a surge of cases at their workplace. The mom got a covid test that came back negative, so she took her and the children to visit grandma in another state. Grandma works in a hospital with a surge of cases with staff. All of them now have covid, and we don't even know which state it came from lmao.

We just had a two hour meeting about the importance of customer service.

We're still planning on being fully open, with thousands of college kids in our dining hall, obviously unmasked while eating, even after we've learned Delta breaks through the vaccine, fucks people up, and doesn't give two shits about all our nice new plexiglass.

And the school is reinstating three person dorm rooms because hundreds of kids are homeless without them.

"Well, we'll see what happens at schools that open before we do." LMAO

lol they're starting to slow rollout the news that child vaccines are not coming any time soon: https://www.npr.org/sections/back-t...nih-director-sa

quote:

Parents and caregivers may have to wait until the end of 2021 before a COVID-19 vaccine is approved for young children ages 5 to 11. The news comes from Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition.

Collins said both Pfizer and Moderna are still collecting trial data, trying to understand — among other things — whether young children should receive a smaller vaccine dose than what has already been approved for adults.

Pfizer could submit its data to the Food and Drug Administration for review by the end of September, Collins said. But he added, "I've got to be honest, I don't see the approval for kids — 5 to 11 — coming much before the end of 2021."

reminder that they've known this was the case, no approval before 2022, for at least the last 3 months--maybe even 6 months
