I really don't want to have to worry about the vaccines causing cancer lmao

If the mRNA vaccines gave you cancer what do you think COVID would do. Also turns out we're all getting COVID eventually.

edit: the worst snipe, the vaccines don't give you cancer

I've been sitting in the parking lot of a medical center for a bit now with the chair leaned back. Dude just drove up, parked next to me, just sat there a minute, it looked like he was using his phone. At this point I don't think he noticed me

He gets out of his car, pees on the bush in front of his car, didn't go up into the tree line or anything. At this point dick-in-hand he noticed me. He swings around so he is facing away from me, I was getting full view of everything until then, pisses on the hood of his car in doing so. Dude finished, got in his car, then stared me down like I had just killed his grandmother for a good minute or two. I just shrugged at him, then he drove off so fast he jumped the curb when he backed up and almost hit the building

Covid is a good reason not to go anywhere but I think I just discovered another

King County WA brought back the last 30 days of data view for vaccination disease rates vs unvaccinated. As you might expect, the relative risk for unvaccinated keeps going up but the ratio in the absolute number of cases keeps swinging toward vaxxed since so many people are slut juiced here.


am i reading that right, over the past 30 days 42% of deaths were 'fully' vaccinated

I wonder why the PNW is supposedly enjoying a reprieve from rising cases compared to other states, is it because we have more staunch masking guidelines in both indoor establishments and schools?

To get tested. They reintroduced rapid tests a few weeks ago and immediately scrapped them again. PCR had been scaled back massively and they can't scale back up fast enough to keep up with demand. Coronapass was reintroduced last Friday, so that's a factor as well.

E: we're back to almost nobody wearing masks in the Augusta area and my spouse thinks you can get covid from sweat dripping into your food for take-out and that's why socially distanced restaurants are just the same risk as me going to a farm auction (business-necessary) in an n95. then he argued that he's an adult and should be allowed to calculate his own risks and go to a restaurant if he feels like it. babe you are not being reassuring here.

The downside is capital announcing that Covid is Over and forcing everyone back to work with nothing but a deeply flawed vaccine to protect them.

I'm a huge disney parks nerd and the crack ping that happens when I see toddlers walking around down there unmasked and on rides is like a glacier snapping off.

can I ask thread how y'all who have had to go to hotels and cabins and things like that have dealt with poo poo? are you trusting that someone didn't come in coughing all over your room or what?

I've done whole house airbnbs where they claim at least that no one has occupied the space in over 24hrs and decent ventilation. I think thats really the best you can ask for if you have to deal with it.

Like you can't control for everything and sometimes you absolutely cant avoid dealing with it. When I went to TN I absolutely had to because otherwise they wouldnt cremate my dad with out an in person signature apparently. Some liability bullshit.

I've done several stays at Airbnb's throughout the pandemic, bringing the whole family along and whatnot. It's all been at cabins or whole separate houses. Upon arrival I opened every door and window, kept masks on, unpacked quickly, then went out for lunch or to check out whatever is nearby. So the place has a good 30-90min to change the air.

When you rent a cabin you have the whole thing. There is no one else there.

When you go to Disneyland you do not have the whole thing.

Still though, there are cleaners and whatnot. People who go into the cabin. I'm mostly asking in case I have to take another overnight road trip due to farm stuff. Sleeping in the back of my van hurt for three solid weeks until my broken body decided to stop hating me.
