You will see a sequel to January 6, 2021. Not at the Capitol, but spread out at every hospital in the country will be violent actions. The amount will be sporadic at first, but the few successes will embolden others:

Atlanta is burning. CDC headquarters was hastily evacuated 6 hours ago after a Trump car parade smashed through the abandoned barricades.

Proud boys march in the streets, and effectively are the current active police department, which means not much has changed aside from their uniforms.

The hospitals are still operating, but the security staff is barely hanging on. The mobs are packed so tight by the glass doors, you can smell a mix of sweat and apple flavored paste in the air.


The chuds are coming.

They have brought the drench, and will save their loved ones or die trying.

Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by asymptomatic spreaders?

Fauci: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of mask mandates.

Lisa: But aren't the masks even worse

Fauci: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous strain of COVID that thrives on children.

Lisa: But then we're stuck with COVID!

Fauci: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the children simply breathe to death.

Same-- I am incredibly thankful that my wife and I are on just about the exact same page with this. She's a little more willing to do stuff, but not by much, and she's been cooped up working from home since April of last year, so I get it. Got lucky with my parents, too-- I sent my mom an article a month ago back talking about Delta and suggesting she start masking again, and they were totally on board. I feel for everyone here that are finding that getting people to take basic precautions is like pulling teeth.

Spite is what drives fascists, generally speaking, and part of what differentiates them from regular Conservatives who are merely driven by hatred and fear. Spite, not hatred. Hatred is - in its own way - a reasonable thing. I hate Republicans but there are various factors that keep me from acting out on that hatred, both logical and emotional. Spite is not reasonable. Spite is the willingness to destroy yourself to harm your enemies.

They don't care if they die so long as they stick it to the Libs in the process. That's all that matters. I mean hell, it's why they lionize Lost Cause mythologies like the Confederacy and Thermopylae and poo poo. It doesn't matter that these warriors were defeated and failed to accomplish their goals in reality, all that mattered is they fought and died, kicking and screaming like toddlers, against their enemies.

I can't stop crack pinging about the democratic governor of New Mexico's logic on why limiting capacity at indoor businesses is the action of last resort.

quote:

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.

Doing things that actually work reduce the confidence of science. :thunk:

SARASOTA — Sheriff’s officials in one Florida county say they’re not disciplining employees who knowingly came to work after either testing positive for COVID-19 or experienced symptoms.

On Aug. 3, Sarasota Sheriff’s Office Maj. Jon Goetluck sent an email asking employees to stay home if they felt ill, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported. The email included a list of COVID precautions to employees about hand-washing and staying home when ill.

On Aug. 12, he said he resent that email “because we are still having employees coming into work with symptoms and exposing other employees and then testing positive 2-3 days later,” the newspaper reported.

He sent a third email Aug. 18 after cases continued to increase.

“It appears that we still have personnel coming to work sick, to include some that have tested positive,” Goetluck’s email said. “I wasn’t going to publicize our numbers to avoid unnecessary panic, but I find it necessary to do so.”

On Tuesday, the agency reported 93 employees were out sick, and that 57 had tested positive for COVID-19, according to the newspaper.

But those who came to work after testing positive or while feeling ill won’t face any repercussions, sheriff’s spokeswoman Kaitlyn Perez told the newspaper.

NYC Public Schools Will Only Conduct Random COVID Tests On Unvaccinated Students This Fall

New York City plans to randomly test 10% of each school’s unvaccinated population twice a month this school year to prevent COVID-19 transmission, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter announced Thursday.

The updated testing strategy is considerably dialed back from the previous protocol that held weekly testing of each school’s entire school population, but it does fall in line with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This year, the city is also not setting a threshold number of COVID cases to close a school. Instead, the city will only consider closures if there is “widespread transmission” in a school, the Department of Education said. Last year, schools closed whenever there were two or four reported cases of COVID-19 in different classrooms within a week that were traced to a known exposure inside the school.

we have less precautions, less control, less protocols... and a more infectious variant. what could go wrong
