I just mainlined 55 pages of the covid thread in less than half a hour

Let me just say of the events of the last few days: lol. lmao.

that's what collapse is though, a gradual decline accelerating until eventually all that's left is imaginary fragments of the society that we used to live in. there won't be a sack of rome moment

I agree a gradual collapse of that kind is inevitable due to myriad factors including covid but the suggestion that the pandemic will be the main reason it happens is what I'm objecting to. "Things getting shittier until they're unrecognizable from where they started" was a baked-in outcome even if we'd never had pandemic.

Pre-WW2 capitalism was unimaginably worse for people in the West than what we've got now and it kept going against the predictions of its most astute critics at the time. I think Westerners have lost that historical perspective so anyone who isn't already checked out sees a gradual reduction in their standard of living in apocalyptic terms. In reality, most people want inertia (if not what it'll bring us) and even went out of their way to vote for that in the tens of millions in 2020 by electing Biden.

that link says to get tested 3-5 days after exposure, nothing about 3 days of symptoms

cool that she can't get a covid test anyway though

I'm not sure where this rule is coming from either? But my local urgent care is (I believe) doing the same thing now. They won't even tell me WHY. But you have to "qualify" for a rapid test. And I had symptoms for two days and did not qualify. So whatever? I went to Walgreens and got a rapid test just fine. Weird.

Hospitals are entering collapse right now in some Southern states. The only thing keeping the numbers down is that the sick are flooding states whose medical systems haven't collapsed yet.

That's happening right now and it will continue to accelerate.

I fully expect hospital and then social collapses in at least the old confederacy. It'll be what happened in India. Deaths from covid spike dramatically when you can no longer get access to a hospital or when the hospital runs out of staff or materials.

We live in good times of peace. Even USA citizens only know war for oversea adventures. Antiobiotics allow people to do stupid poo poo like sports that would get your a broken leg.

But we are like a town living under a large dam. Maybe one day antibiotics stop working (too much use in industrial farms) or war become more a part of everyday routines.

Perhaps coronavirus is more a return to the normal, where Death and Life are parts of every day routines. Maybe we have been living the exception, a life where death was almost nowhere to be seen.

Kids will grown knowing a friend that died of coronavirus and another with long covid, and it will be more like the normal from before antibiotics.

That's the thing that the 'endemic' live with covid fuckers don't seem to understand. Even with moderate vaccination levels just going full open-biden with no social controls inevitably results in so many cases that hospitals are overwhelmed, at which point the death rate skyrockets. You can't live with a highly infectious pandemic virus with a reasonable rate of hospitalisation and death!

Yeah most of the chud "it's just the flu" talking point was due to all the intensive medical care people get (mostly unvaccinated)

Once basics like liquid oxygen run out you will see things like 100% mortality in the ICU wards.

Maybe they should have gotten vaccinated like President Biden told them to, if they didn't want to get maimed/traumatized/die (safely).
