public schools are going to reopen here in BC and I just found out that dr bonnie Henry is still focusing primarily on droplet, rather than aerosolized transmission. we have a whopping 1 page about this in our return to school guidelines. now compare this to the Ontario FORD PC GOVERNMENT which has a 13 page document covering aerosolized transmission, a spending plan to ensure proper ventilation in classrooms, and proper mask coverage. what the actual gently caress, our centre left party is getting owned by a trump lite

lol it's been four months.

No we've been fully opened since at least last fall, and even that's only in the states that were taking things really seriously. CT had some of the highest mask compliance numbers in the country last year and we still had huge numbers of unmasked people crowding into both outdoor and indoor spaces last summer.

The CDC mask burning party was poo poo, but it doesn't matter because masks without restrictions weren't going to do anything anyway. Nobody's been stopping anyone from doing anything for at least a year.

"The bourgeoisie is only charitable out of self-interest; giving nothing outright. Making bargains with the poor: 'If I spend this much upon benevolence, I purchase the right not to be troubled any further"

The poor didn't shut up about dying to covid when they received crumbs of money, so now its "learn to live with covid"

Hochul on Sunday advised unemployed New Yorkers set to lose benefits Monday to seek help from workforce training programs.

“It’s simply a matter of connecting the dots, connecting the people to the training, connecting them to the positions,” she said. “That’s something I’ll be laser-focused on because a lot of people are hurting today as a result of the federal government’s not extending the resources and the time frame for this.”

Open everything up, and accept that a percentage of the population will die, and that a percentage of the population will have "long covid" for the rest of their lives. It just becomes another hazard of living like getting a cold.

If everybody in the US gets COVID in a short time, there is an upper bound on death, we are unlikely to lose more than 6 or 8 million people tops even with healthcare collapse.

Don't be dense, there is no upper bound on an uncontrolled viral epidemic in the long term - with ~35% of the infected not gaining significant immunity, dwindling vaccine efficacy and/or poor booster uptake, limited cross-strain immunity and selection pressure against both we will have a constant succession of variant waves.

Each wave will deal long term health issues to a percentage of the infected, and tear through them and those and other pre-existing conditions, and provide a perfect environment for producing the next dominant variant.

Repeat.

Local news just had a segment about how mask mandates are wrong and had a lawyer for a bunch of parents who are suing to end them on to talk. The media is 100% in on the death narrative. Cool

If blue maga were smart they'd realize vaccine mandates would be an indirect way of purging institutions of chud nutters, especially the police, but they're way too spineless to use authority effectively

those of us who were called hysterical at calling trump a genocidal white supremacist were 100% correct, people were just expecting the purge of the vulnerable and lower caste from society to take the form of trains and camps, not a surrender to a virus by capital interests. all the dehumanizing in stages efforts that everyone was 100% correct in comparing to historical example, this is just the final step, everyone is too dissociated and atomized to resist as capital throws the poor and elderly and otherwise vulnerable among us into the volcano so that number goes up. done deal. white supremacist fascist takeover and purge checklist complete. time for new game+

Hey idk man I'm not virologist of infectious disease expert but maybe since the vaccines are super safe and delta is busting down older vaccinations left and right, maybe, just maybe, we would want to err on the side of caution and get ahead of things a tiny bit. For once. Just one loving time.

We need a loving sterilizing nasal vaccine that has general spike / whole capsid affinity and go full blown fascist to get it in people, or just start loving paying people piles of cash to get it.

got really sad this morning because I’m getting married tomorrow and it only just hit me that I’m never going to be able to have an actual wedding, I’m doing the paperwork tomorrow and when I had talked to my partner he had said we could do a ceremony sometime in the future but it’s like, either there is no time it’s possible in the future or if it is it’s just oh yeah we got married five years ago but come to our wedding, and that just seems super lame

Yeah, I pushed my wedding reception back to this October 2021 (lol) back in March of 2020 because I knew 0% chance things would be ok in October of 2020 (the venue thought different, lol) and had a tiny outdoor ceremony on the day we were supposed to have a big fun party which was still super nice.

Now we're pushing the ceremony back again. I attended a (masked and vax required) very small wedding in late July and it made me realize I do want a reception; I had been on the fence about just not having one and jamming the money saved into house payments or a future honeymoon (lol who knows when that will be). Whenever it happens it can be a vow renewal/2-3-4-5 year celebration which is still cool, but obviously not the same.

poo poo's rough, but prioritizing the health of people you care about is the right call.
