This is going to keep getting worse. I’m going to stocking up shopping today. No, I don’t think everything is going Mad Max, I don’t expect it to get bad like early days bad. Honestly if my kids finish the school year still attending school, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Of course our school district will be having a meeting on whether to continue masking in a few days that I’ll be attending, I do think they’re going to keep it though because of Omicron, but I wouldn’t have said that a few weeks ago

It'll be funny if Democrats like Fetterman pick up Senate seats based on an "I will neutralize Manchin" message while the House flips.

But anyways, Congress is completely out of town until the new year so ain't poo poo happening for two weeks anyways. Don't let that fuckhead ruin your week/end and there's signs that Manchin is just Manchining and apparently gave Biden a $1.8T plan a few days ago.

Honest question re: COVID. If you are up to date on shots, with a booster, and have recently had COVID, what does your risk look like? Can you get it again within a few weeks or does anybody really know yet?
My kids district is looking at getting rid of mask mandates after the break and my 8 year old already brought it home once, so I wouldn't be surprised if the kids were potentially a conduit again.

puppets on strings man, were all puppets in strings

To be clear, please don't travel for the holidays this year and limit unnecessary exposure because this is all going to kill a lot of people. Indulging in conspiratorial thinking about how omicron is being taken about thus far, though, doesn't help anyone.

It's nearly impossible to get good data about "natural immunity" because of the political bullshit, but it's probably 3-8 month immunity against reinfection, with lots of caveats.

The early-developing rule of thumb is that Omicron's evasiveness basically knocks out the effectiveness of a "dose", whether that's a vaccine dose or an infection case. So if you've had three doses and a case, you're likely the Omicron-equivalent of having three doses against Delta, which is/was considered really loving good. And for the kid - keep on going with the COVID-vaccines regardless of the school's dumb poo poo about masks.

Yeah, its definitely encouraging idiot behavior. Honestly I think I’m going with bunker mentality for the next month or two. Like I don’t mean crazy prepper stuff, just kind of self lockdown as much as possible. I wish I could just have my kids get a booster now to bring them up to 3 doses.

But researchers warn that it is still too early to make definitive pronouncements about Omicron’s relative threat, because the outbreak’s epicenter is in one of the most heavily vaccinated parts of the country. Moreover, the majority of the population there has antibodies indicating recovery from a prior infection, which confers its own protection.

From here:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/12/17/world/south-africa-omicron-hospitalizations.amp.html

So far, I haven't seen anything with hard data saying that Omicron is milder. I linked that study yesterday where they say it doesn't seem more virulent than Delta, but that's not the same thing.

I am too, there are forests on each side of the valley. The mountain lions and bears a less of a concern down here. Also flat valley land is like, $1k/acre compared to around $10k/acre up in the trees. If I need trees to cut up, the rio grande national forest will let me chop down recent dead or haul off deadfall for $0.50 a tree (minimum permit is $20 but you don't have to cut down all 40).
