Reporter: You said everything's still on the table. Would that be a last resort for you? Is that kind of like the last thing you want to do is bring restrictions back?

Gov. Lujan Grisham: Like extra last. Last and then something, something, something. And here's the reason – more than the economy, more than the uncertainty for business, we want people to have confidence. I do too. Now that we have tools, they have the science behind that confidence, that we can get to a normal, and if you have to use these tools, these extreme tools, we minimize people's confidence that, in fact, we can use science to control this pandemic.

the thing I hate most about the “learn to live with it” crowd is that it is them quite literally telling you to never even hope for anything better. it is equally applicable to every problem humanity has ever faced and is the most doomer depressed logic I can imagine. nothing can ever get better. no problems can ever be solved. all we can do is stop caring and become cold nihilists immune to pathetic human emotions. we are cogs who spend money and if we die then no one will care.

this is the majority opinion of our government and our society.

we live in a democracy and this is the one thing everyone agrees on so of course it was going to be the outcome
- a huge chunk of the country believes that life is suffering as intended and we'll get our eternal reward after we die
- a huge chunk of the country is demoralized, beat down, and can't trust to hope that anything could possibly ever get better because thinking otherwise just leads to repeated traumatic incidents of being proven otherwise
- and a small chunk of the country that actually holds the money and power wants to ensure that everyone in the country falls into one of the two above categories

democracy works as intended!

Grant Elementary in Hollywood is site of LAUSD’s 1st coronavirus outbreak

Los Angeles school officials on Wednesday confirmed the first coronavirus outbreak in the district at Grant Elementary School in Hollywood, sending home an entire classroom of children.

“The cases are concentrated in a single classroom and Los Angeles Unified is fully cooperating with the Department of Public Health,” the district said in a statement. “The district has alerted all those potentially impacted and the quarantined class has been provided with instructional materials to continue their studies.”

the tone of this reads like a story in February 2020 lol

i wonder how many days before they realize it's a dumb idea to make a news story about every single classroom outbreak--there will be nothing but outbreak stories soon

the money to be made from hyping ivermectin isn't from the sale of the pills, it's in being the voice that talks about cures "they don't want you to hear about" so you have to buy books, attend seminars, and buy subscriptions as tens of millions of gullible people now with long covid struggle with their health

So much of the antivax poo poo comes from the homeopathy, alternative medicine, naturalist "medicine" mindset so prevalent in this country and it's all because healthcare is so out of the financial reach of so many people that they just instinctively don't trust anything coming out from the health care system now. How much of this poo poo could've been avoided if we had a functioning system that wasn't actively pulling as much money as possible out of everyone for any little thing. :d2a:

there's stuff we've been wrong about, like I was sure the alpha variant was going to be a way worse and bigger surge in the winter. or we were pretty sure the vaccine rollout would be such a disaster it wouldn't be until september at the earliest that anyone got shots. but yeah just don't be afraid of bad news and be very suspicious of anything the media is saying
