Patrick said he believes that there is risk in everything that we do, and that those risks can be minimized with some planning.

“If you can go and you’re not going to a really crowded place, I think it’s still a good idea [to travel] if you keep those precautions in mind in terms of wearing a face mask, social distancing and washing your hands often,” he said.

While he supports families taking similar precautions as they did in 2020, he doesn’t think they need to hunker down at home.

“Mental health is important and getting away and taking a vacation, especially as a family, is also important,” he said.

That being said, Hawaii is not the right place for your family vacation at this time.

fuckin lollin that the bottom 85% of America is just frantically figuring out how to not die while still bringing in an income for the foreseeable future while the lib upper crust are emphasizing how important it is to take your vacations and keep your polyamory gently caress pod running smoothly and are shocked at the backlash they're getting.

Yeah, that is going to be a big issue. Honestly, poo poo is going to get real hosed. I am convinced COVID is only rhe first of many mass death events over the next 100 years. Boomers financially ruined younger generations. Wealth inequality will only get worse. It really feels like a house of cards.

Well I mean the ideal solution and the one that would make me feel better is just rounding up these dangerous fucks and throwing them in cells forever, whether or not they get the vaccine, because they are clearly too dangerous and destructive to ever be allowed safely into society, but hey. Baby steps.

Also maybe it's just my perception, but it feels to me like this Ivermectin stuff has WAY more traction and power behind it than HQC even did. Is it because, unlike HQC it's much easier for the random chud to get Ivermectin and 'self-medicate' or is it something else? Or am I just underestimating how widespread HQC was?

Anyone know if it's possible to get a quantitative antibody test without a doctor ordering it? I'd love to have some raw data about myself as opposed to just a yes/no from a regular AB test, mainly because I am a huge loving nerd.

And also maybe let someone study the effects of the booster to contribute something back.

COVID causes the collapse of our private healthcare system is believable, especially as some COVID treatments can't be billed for. That might be, not to be gross, the shot in the arm for America to finally fix it's healthcare system, if like numerous places literally have no hospitals so a car accident becomes a death sentence in rural areas.

It won't be. It takes an enormous amount of political organization, effort, and above all credibility to successfully do a total rebuild of a sophisticated medical network after mass collapse. There isn't a single political entity in the entire country right now that has even 1/10th of what's needed. It'll take decades to recover, if ever.
