Wang Commander posted:Milder than delta (but as bad as prior variants) is not very reassuring even if it's true. It also means it can maybe pick up some more muties Why would it being more deadly mean it can’t mutate more? Like why would mildness correlate with evolutionary potential? Wildtype came out the gate swinging and I mean here we are.

I think I learned to make these in elementary school, just a bunch of cloves stuck in an orange so in elementary school you were just jamming cloves into an orange, to smell, educationally it's not even like it's any weirder than whatever I was doing at that age with dried beans and elmer's glue and whatever but I've just never encountered specifically this before

Wildtype came out the gate swinging and I mean here we are. This is seen in viruses that are most contagious in the acute phase, like influenza. If the average person is bedridden by illness, they'll stop spreading it, while a milder version lets them walk around the community. It doesn't work for covid, which is most contagious before severe illness happens.

shizen posted:Schools across the country are barley holding on as is. I can't imagine them shutting down again they would rather stick every kid in the gym as one teacher watches them all before that. I was surprised too. I'm guessing the city has access to some incredibly bad internal data. When they canceled their plans to go back in person at the beginning of the year it turned out to be because they had early access to some wastewater reports that were showing holy poo poo lmao levels of spreading.

We're in an arms race against the virus and we're gonna lose rn. Maybe a miracle durable vaccine pops up or the anti-virals are good enough to keep it under control, but omicron is a huge loving alarm siren and the response is "its mild!"

I told my family not to rely in antigen tests and they should all go get PCR. One of them had the nerve to say “oh it’s only unreliable for positive results not negative results”.

It doesn't work for covid, which is most contagious before severe illness happens. It also doesn't matter much because by and large we're not yet at the point where we are literally, rather than figuratively, leaving people to die in the streets. We are still either giving them hospital care, or tending to them at home. The bedridden are still getting people sick.

So I realize that surgical tape is cheaper than buying K/N95s. I'm already elastomeric elite, but I do have to sometimes wear other masks since I'm going to the doctor or need to be able to speak clearly even with the speech diaphragm it's hard. So what I'm wondering is, then, yeah, if the failure point is the seal and not the filter medium, is there any reason I can't just surgical tape a 3M Aura or Powecom to my face? Seems a good way to get more mileage out of your N95s.

post COVID posted:Yeah I mean the lines were really faint but I'm definitely negative. We're vaccinated, it's fine. Exactly, I also found out the one who’s infected probably knew they were infected with something several days earlier and still saw everyone, let her elderly parents who travelled here stay with her, and once she tested positive with the antigen test went and took her daughter to do her nails.

You're not going to win against a global media blitz that's telling people exactly what they want to hear, especially when the counterpoint is that we still can't possibly know because it's too soon and we don't have enough data. yeah this isn’t like delta where we watched india collapse months ahead of us, we’ll have plenty of direct answers soon enough i don’t think we’ll like them

Schnorkles posted:we are really incredibly lucky that Omicron only has moderate immune escape. I mean that's true for the minority of otherwise reasonable people who are doing their best and uninformed about the necessities of proper PPE and/or unable to afford it. But like considering all fascists and most liberals are behaving as though COVID is over, it doesn't matter much. If you keep playing Russian Roulette, it doesn't matter if the gun in question is a mega-revolver with a billion chambers; eventually you will lose. Maybe I'm wrong, but I said it earlier in the thread; it seems to me that all that Omicron has actually done is just accelerate things. This path was already inevitable even if Delta stayed literally immutable and never got worse. Open Biden, an absence of meaningful state-level NPIs, and a lack of meaningful PPE by both HCWs and the general public would have made all this inevitable. Hospitals will collapse quicker due to volume, but like through burnout attrition and ever increasing rates of hospitalization as more and more people get severe reinfections due to damage from prior infections, it was inevitable. What would have taken months or maybe years is now taking weeks or maybe months. But all of this was, sadly, inevitable given the American strategy of 'gently caress around and find out.'
