The one thing I'm still having trouble understanding going into year 3 of covid is why new york got their clocks cleaned so thoroughly when this all started. Was it just a complete lack of NPI's and a naïve population? Why didn't we see anything quite that dire in other major US metros?

Why is there triple sec without any visible tequila? The whole thing screams “my sixteen year old girlfriend likes sweet drinks.” peach schnapps owns if you fortify it with hard liquor at a ratio of 1 schnapp to 2 vodka

HiroProtagonist posted:R0 of about 20 was what was initially theorized no? pretty sure that's not how r0 works, because it's exponential, not linear. the sequence for an r0 of 20 is 1, 20, 400, 8,000, 160,000, 3,200,000, 64,000,000, 1,280,000000, everyone on earth 3 times over. small changes in the effective or theoretical reproductive number get huge after a few generations, the number doesn't have to start out big. even adding .3 to the effective R number is devastating, and doesn't require covid being rocket powered measles.

The initial circulation of COVID in metros was really, really, really bad. It was India numbers happening in the US, but we had no infrastructure to measure it. I'm not sure we've hit that peak again, maybe Thanksgiving 2020 but even then

my favourite thing about this god awful pandemic is the framing authorities have used about how lockdowns are all about preserving peoples mental health as if two years of isolation, constant threat of airborne brain damage, and mass death hasn’t been utterly psyche obliterating

We're currently over census and admin is constantly threatening everyone about every little discharge delay Meanwhile my dept is still planning to hold our mandatory end of the year meeting in person next week, but instead of at the gross hospital it will be at a local restaurant and we each get 1 free alcoholic drink, isn't that amazing everyone

This common cold coronavirus sticks itself to your cells with the metaphorical equivalent of spitting on paper and slapping it onto the fridge. SARS-CoV-2, in contrast, is a bigass neodymium magnet.

so we spent 2 years and squandered a breakthrough in mRNA technology to keep this thing around and make it angry enough to mutate into a common cold, a virus considered impossible to vaccinate against, and that attacks your entire circulatory system instead of just causing a runny nose potentially Christ
