how are you supposed to do contract tracing anyway when you're surrounded by maskless unvaccinated cretins? Unless you're foolish enough to not be social distancing from friends and family anymore, your covid could be coming from anyone you pass by on a daily basis at work or even on the street

I've been thinking about making a cspam thread called Moneyball Z for ages now. Pages are taken from the Dragonball manga. The narrative is now that number is everything. The power level reader checks someone's value to "number". You fire energy beams that are stock chart lines going up for the bad guys or down for the Moneyball warriors as they combat number and their power levels are in the negatives, which is good. Screaming/powering up drops their number level even further. Long periods of time doing nothing but talking are filled with diatribes lifted from economists. Yamcha still sucks. Krillin still gets owned.

But eh...:effort:

Spare batteries are pretty key.
I got called by a contact tracer about a week and a half after my coworker got it in September.


He had texted me the same hour that he got the positive test and I'd already gotten my negative results back from being tested by the time I got contact traced, despite being probably one of only 10 people he saw that week.

Why do New Jersey and New York have significantly higher deaths rates from COVID than Florida does? Is that just lag in reporting deaths in FL? Was NY massively under reporting cases but accurately counting deaths? Is Florida under counting deaths and will that show up in the excess death numbers? Vaccines helping?

This is the data I'm looking at:

New York: 54,751 deaths 2,339,058 cases
Florida: 43,979 deaths 3,246,196 cases

New York: #2 deaths per 1 mil pop. @ 2,814
Florida: #19 deaths per 1 mil pop. @ 2,048

New York: #28 cases per 1 mil pop. @ 120,238
Florida: #3 cases per 1 mil pop. @ 151,142

I hate to sound like a centrist, but it's a known fact Florida and a lot of states intentionally lied about their data. NYS just admitted 12000 more died than origin submitted. I bet it's even worse in other states. The new NY governor is currently in a honeymoon where she can just report accurate deaths with no issue because she hasn't been in power long enough to be blamed for it so she may be reporting accurately. Alternatively, considering one scandal of her predecessor was underreporting COVID deaths, she might prefer to just be upfront on it rather than it being a problem later.

In short, and this is going to get me mocked, Desantis had someone jailed and their computers destroyed for accurately reporting COVID deaths in the state, using police as his agents. I absolutely believe he is having COVID deaths put into other categories to hide them and NY, due to its recent change in governorship, may feel comfortable giving the full data since nothing can yet be blamed on the new governor.

I know the article on how the state was overruling death certificates at the county level was really telling.

It's also a common Chud argument I hear from them, they died from something else or had other health problems. It wasn't COV19

Assuming they are not the peak of health the correct response then is to physically attack them and tell them you bear no responsibility for their injuries or death because they got injured/killed by their obesity or diabetes or whatever. They got hosed up with a beatdown, not of a beatdown.

Has anyone seen solid studies on when a person is no longer transmitting covid after being infected?

I evacuated from the hurricane, and it looks like it might be in for a long haul before I can go back to New Orleans, maybe a month or more.

I'd planned to stay with my parents, but my dad popped up with covid symptoms and then a test confirmed it yesterday. Assuming I didn't get it through my mom, I can get a negative test by like Thursday or Friday and once I've got that I can start looking for housing that can last a few weeks. Ideally, I'd stay with them in a couple of weeks when he's clear of it, but I don't know how long someone can still be infectious after having it.

Here's a tweet so this post actually gets read. Wow looks like Whiz Kid Harry Enten was the real brains behind 538 all along. Tired old man Nate is on the way out I hear
