Someone buy him an account. Also, Annihilation is a real good book.

This also means shutting down most travel for a month, with super robust testing, super robust contact tracing. "Hard quarantine" has to literally mean China style locking-people-in-homes-or-get-massive-fines.

consider large noxious gas clouds (say, 5x5 grid) that infect anyone that goes through them, but if the sick person is masked, maybe 2x2 or 3x3 around them or in a u shape

That's good to hear. I remembered something from some goon smarter than I am talking about spacing vaccines but they might've been talking about mrna and non-mrna covid combos for all i remember.

Yeah COVID has fully clarified the fact that we will never do anything about Climate Change. Nobody paying attention can possibly believe there will be a point where it's too much, where climate change has done so much that we can't possibly ignore it and do something about it. The cause-effect of COVID is so loving obvious, the elite as a collective are not operating under the delusion that people are just dying because of reasons unrelated to the pandemic. They know why people are dying. They just don't give a gently caress. No amount of fires or hurricanes or record temperatures or rising waters or regions rendered unlivable will ever cause a climate change response because it's not about wanting to deny or not believing the link: it's about not caring one loving bit.

And there's not going to be any kind of new deal either. Capital is fully on board with just doubling down forever. There are no intelligent capitalists willing to negotiate with labor to secure their future. It's done. The elites have cemented their position and they will die in it, one way or another, no matter the cost to the rest of us or the world.

i don't think unvaccinated covid patients older than say 50 with serious co-morbidities are going to be very high on the triage list.

Actually if anyone wants to mess with the covid simulator, you can

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k06lq0kbxs27hsj/CovidGame.zip?dl=0

Its fixed rez, and Windows only at the moment so sorry about that. Also it'll probably crash or get stuck somewhere or do something weird. Still, fun to play around with.

You can move the screen with WASD, and you can click a character to vaccinate or mask them.
