Sketchy twitter account. The Telegraph article is here but The Telegraph is so conservative that I can’t fully believe they’re not using this as a way to distract from what a mess Boris Johnson has made of the pandemic by blaming it being an engineered virus. As if that matters now that we’re in this stage of the pandemic and need to get rid of the drat thing.

According to the Erie County Department of Health, the amount of COVID cases in schools is rising. The Health Department said COVID cases in people under the age of 18 are up 42% over the last month. Cases among 5 to 10-year-olds have increased 76% in the past week.

Darnysha Jackson said her daughter was exposed to COVID, but the district didn't tell her.

"They sent a lot of children home. The whole 7th grade football team. She's the only girl on the football team. They sent certain kids home that they believe was in contact with the students. My daughter wasn't sent home, but the next day when I took her to get her shot, that's when she felt ill and started losing her taste buds. I got her tested and it came back positive," Jackson said.

ya so I feel like all of the pediatricians who endorsed this as safe in places requiring masks forgot that the schools are run by complete idiots

jesus christ, the rehab I work at just had ANOTHER COVID outbreak. It's residential so there are a series of houses. Mine is 1 of 2. The tests are starting to come back and I just know everyone's gonna be positive.

We had an outbreak before a few months ago and the house I work at was designated as the quarantine house. I was negative when I went there, got COVID there, breezed through it (no symptoms). I'm vaccinated now. But I'm willing to bet that, as the results come in, my whole house is gonna EXPLODE with it. AGAIN. AUUUGHHH

There's been a huge push to reframe covid as "a pandemic of the unvaccinated" and to downplay breakthrough cases. They were also pushing the "Only 0.00005% of vaccinated people have had a breakthrough case (so that must mean you're 99.99995% protected!!!)" message real hard at one point and a whole lot of people bought into it

Because we needed vaccines to exist (and be at least somewhat widespread) for this to not kill literally 1-2% of the human population on Earth.

This is so sad. It really should be a crime to knowingly expose vulnerable people to Covid.

I had a baby in October and someone was in my local mom group on Facebook encouraging people to get vaccinated due to worse outcomes for pregnant people. Of course, one of the comments was about how “this isn’t the place” for that kind of thing and it’s “too distressing” for people to talk about vaccination one way or the other.

I responded that I felt it was distressing hear about all the pregnant people on ECMO who will never get to meet their preemie babies.

Then the comments got locked. 🙃

It's obviously endemic and will be around for a very long time, the guy's not wrong.

It being endemic doesn't mean you can't do anything to mitigate the early damage but Republican lawmakers are happy to let as many people die as possible in their states.

I live in a place where some people unironically have flags with trump asking if we miss him yet. I was able to get vaccinated very early but got the delta cold from hell last month. I often thought of going to Walmart dressed as "Mucon, Destroyer of Chuds" during that week but drat morals got in the way.

Letting chuds kill themselves is morally right, but going to Walmart you also put a lot of non-chuds at risk so I can see the reasoning behind your choice

COVID is absolutely not “endemic” yet. That term has an epidemiological meaning that isn’t “everywhere and not going away (unless we do things that the folks in charge don’t want to do)”. It means that a disease has reached a point where it has infected a large enough proportion of the population and explored enough of its initial mutation space that outbreaks patterns are regular and mostly predictable in endemic regions. We’re not there.

It's not endemic in that sense, but there's been large numbers of wild animals in the US catching covid so it's endemic in the sense that there are now zoonotic reservoirs that would keep introducing the virus back into the human population even if we somehow got global human infections down to zero.

It's highly unlikely that covid deer would infect all that many humans but you only ever need a single case to set off a new outbreak


EDIT: I guess it remains to be seen whether the virus is actually endemic in the deer population, I suppose it might burn itself out.
