When I was growing up, I got into the habit of lying to avoid contentious discussions or repercussions due to the whims of a parent prone to whimsical bouts of anger and depression. As an adult, it started to feel like a really bad habit, a pattern of avoidance that would eventually get me into serious trouble. But now the pandemic is here and I need to lie nonstop to stay safe and get protected and I gotta say, I feel like maybe I've been walking the golden path all along.

booster option. :smith: Sorry about miss abby.

the pharmacist eyeballed me and went "third dose? they didn't tell me it was a third dose" and I shrugged and went "it's on the form" and she muttered then jabbed me. turns out she hasn't gotten hers yet; she gets it this week. I told her I'd tell her how rough it was. It was over faster than shot 2, but it still sucked.

Filling football stadiums on the assumption that outdoor transmission doesn't happen is completely insane when the transmissibility of Delta is so much higher than the original strain that we were keeping stadiums empty for.

Good thing I'm not doing that! Half my posts itt are whining about how I'm super desperate to get my kids just those mRNA vaccines ASAP, trying and failing to get them into the clinical trials etc. Still doesn't mean you can't call a spade a spade and acknowledge the long-term impacts of mRNA vaccination aren't really known because how could they possibly be?

I appreciate this part of the vaccine discussion. I will vaccinate my kids as soon as I can but I'm honestly nervous about it.

i trust him but he was wrong about alpha and had predicted a surge in the US from it that never materialized. in general most folks like feigl etc. all throught alpha would see a fall-like surge and it just petered out other than a few hotspots like michigan. IMHO it's actually kind of interesting and worth more study why folks got it wrong there

Also it ignores the amount of indoors mingling that takes place in at a football game even if the seat itself is outdoors.

Related to children inevitably getting infected at schools this fall, is there a home-schooling thread on this site? Seems like there should be templates and established curricula for putting together a NYS Individualized Home Instruction Plan but as far as I can tell everyone's supposed to come up with their own and NYS curricula requirements for grade 2 are spread across several different sites. We were also too disorganized to sign up for an online school catering to home schoolers that would do some of this paperwork for us.

You might ask why someone struggling to fill out these very basic forms has any business home schooling. It's a good question.

A problem with home schooling - at least from what I've looked into, is that 75% of the people doing it are doing it because they don't teach about god in the schools.

Didn't school just start for people up north?

There was also a holiday last week that reduced reporting. I mean, maybe we've crested, we certainly don't have a full understanding of COVID and sometimes it just doesn't act the way we think it should. But it seems weird that we'd have hit the top just a few weeks after schools start and football starts up again.

Is that true and not just a US data failure? Wasn't the big Alpha wave in the UK in December? Because the US didn't have that many fewer cases then, given the lower data quality.

the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Magic Kingdom is a pretty big deal to a lot of us and it's on October 1st. I'm pretty crushed I won't be there but being alive is a hell of a lot more important.

WDW is always changing and there's always something new to do, so you get into this yearly visit cycle where it's safe, the rides are pretty reliable, and you pay through the nose for cool nostalgia plus there's a few new, neat things you wanna see.

E: I spent my disney money on sheep this year and they're really cool little sheep.

There's no actual messaging on Delta. It gets mentioned once in a while, but for the most part the local news is still just treating it like it's COVID Classic.
