Never done anything so dangerous the whole pandemic before, but someone I loved died, the funeral was packed and indoors, ton of idiots improperly wearing masks or not wearing them at all. I have a p100 half mask though, and nobody gave me poo poo for it, or for going outside to eat alone. And if they did, gently caress em. So really it doesnt have to be all that dangerous. Just get a disposable n95 or kn95 if thats all you can get

Edit: lol i forgot you might be american. it'll still be dangerous as hell but you know, you can do it relatively safely still.

I said it before but I had a funeral too. buncha chuds a few of whom got covid two weeks after the funeral

I guess my attitude right now is sorta fatalistic. Over the past year the only events we've gone to have been small-group outdoor funerals (not covid related) and I miss my friends, who are more family than most of my family.

With the booster it's incredibly unlikely we'll end up hospitalized or even with long-term impacts if we get exposed. We'll also go back into hermit mode right after the wedding, so asymptomatic spread to others isn't a fear either. The friend also confirmed that all of the attendees are gonna be vaccinated.

Go to Walgreens and say you are immunocompromised. You'll get the booster.

If the CDC says that 75% of kids will be infected in the next 3 months we should plan on it being 750% of kids being infected in the next 3 weeks.

I swear a similar (but not identical) article was posted like, literally yesterday? And most polls actually show that that's not true?

Like who are these articles written for? It's just like the ones about trust fund kids getting their first house by scrimping and saving (actually it's because they got a loan / deed from their parents) and it's like... ??? just why ??? who even falls for that anymore?

it's written for people in ownership/leadership positions to help make them feel better about their harmful, self-serving decisions

they're pushing the pre-pandemic status quo as hard as they can because that's the system that elevated them in the first place

lol they threw in a bunch of people who won't get paid wfh (retail) and also management to goose those numbers

what the hell, might as well read the deranged interviews used to pad out the article

quote:

Then his 10-year-old daughter caught Covid, forcing Mr. Orona, his wife and his two children to hole up at home. He found juggling the job and caring for his children to be nearly impossible to manage. Sometimes he had to cancel meetings to make sure his 2-year-old son got down for a nap.

“I’m with our 2½-year-old all the time, and I try to cram in a couple hours of work around that,” he said. “And then when we get him down for bed, I work into the middle of the night. It’s awful.”

your loving kid has covid and you're bitching about not being able to go into the office????

hmm, maybe the next paragraph will provide context

Yep lol, the most wonderful thing about truly internalizing the immortal science and its most applicable current form, Maoism, is that you suddenly realize all this poo poo is going on. The worst part is the same thing but when you realize you can't do anything where you're at and you find yourself seeing people you're told are your allies talking gleefully about how you're a monster and how great it'll be when you're purged along with the chuds (in some event they can't detail because they'd never support anything that could possibly lead to that)

How are the side effects from the Moderna booster? I got really sick from dose 2 I'll need a booster soon. I might look at trying for it on Friday so I can recover over the 3 day weekend. Can I just go in and say I teach? Several of my students have compromised immune systems.

lol if people think vaccines authorized for children would have stopped what we're seeing with delta right now

adolescents have been able to get vaxxed in the US since May and are still only 35% vaccinated

kids aren't going to get poo poo until it's fully approved and required to attend school
