My school district already has 1,347 confirmed STUDENT cases and 178 confirmed STAFF cases.

The biggest clusters have been in middle and high schools which so far contradicts the CDC's assumption that those would be safer since there should be more vaxxed individuals!

what really owns is this doesn’t even make sense as a plan. we don’t have the ideological structures for people to ignore mass death, and we have too many people vaccinated to let it rip through our population and burn itself out.

if this were any other country I’d say this is a failing government on the way out, one way or the other. since it’s America who knows, it could limp along for a while yet.

it doesn't make any sense as a plan of action but it does make a lot of sense as a justification for doing nothing. i mean it still doesn't make sense but they need to come up with some reason why they're doing nothing

Nah, it's not coherent enough.

That's what's going to really sink our government, if anything. It's a lot more dangerous being a rudderless government that can't decide anything and stick with it vs. just being incompetent or bad.

Hypothetically, of course.

the best way to avoid getting covid is to get covid. it's better than vaccination. get vaccinated, though. don't wear a mask unless you're vaccinated or unless you've had covid, or are planning to have had covid. if you are a student who's sick with covid, go to school to help provide immunity to covid to the other students, by giving them covid.

It's generally got the right idea for spike mutations but I continue to be bearish because of no P681R/H. Maybe the mutation at 679 is as good, if it is we may have a real contender. Otherwise we just have an impressive amount of immune escape but still a lack of raw transmissibility.

Next season's covid draft looking good. Lots of raw immune escape talent.

That sucks man, sorry you have to deal with that nonsense guilt-tripping.

I'd opt for:

- restating that you only go to gatherings where folks are fully vaxxed (and even then it's unlikely);

- say that you'd be very happy to join them via zoom or messenger video or what have you;

- and wish them well if a hybrid in-person/online hangout is "not possible" for them.

While I understand the anger and the possible desire to cut them off, doing so probably escalates the issue heading into the fall. They'll claim you're the unreasonable one for going silent, and twist the situation around to try and guilt you.

By keeping it diplomatic and saying you'd love to participate from afar, you've made a genuine effort and they have no new ammo to fire at you come Thanksgiving etc.

But maybe I'm naive in thinking this will be effective, I dunno.

Thanks friend, I believe this is probably the approach I'm going to take. I've explained before I don't want to get them sick but delta breakthroughs have changed the game even more these days and I'd like the rest of what is hopefully a long and happy for my wife and I to not be marred by long-term illness, at least not self-inflicted
