I'm also a fan of the advice to only test symptomatic people for COVID before parties. Because it makes public health sense to allow sick people into the party as long as they don't have COVID.

Wife's coworker is really worried about COVID you guys, but anyway, she flew to Florida this morning but it's ok because she's quarantining at her parents' house for two weeks, but it won't be so bad because a bunch of people are coming over for a party this weekend.

I love how the definition for the word 'quarantine' has gone from 'isolate from people' to 'attend a huge party' over the past 20 months

Today:

Biden says he wishes he thought about ordering 500 million at-home Covid tests 2 months ago

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/23/biden-wishes-he-thought-about-ordering-500-million-at-home-covid-tests-2-months-ago.html


Three months ago:

" And we’ll commit — we’re committing $2 billion to purchase nearly 300 million rapid tests for distribution to community health centers, food banks, schools, so that every American, no matter their income, can access free and convenient tests. This is important to everyone, particularly for a parent or a child — with a child not old enough to be vaccinated. You’ll be able to test them at home and test those around them."

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/09/09/remarks-by-president-biden-on-fighting-the-covid-19-pandemic-3/


Is it senility or short-term memory loss associated with COVID grandsons kissing his pop?

D&D answer: he said that he wished he thought of 500 million 2 months ago, and not 300 million 3 months ago, so its still technically true.

I’m in LA, and I went to a mall two days ago fully masked and all that. nobody is wearing a mask right, and I saw two good masks out of maybe three hundred people? and maybe 50 with no masks at all. lol.

I accompanied my mom to the mall a few days ago because she wanted to return some poo poo. I'd gauge about 40% of people weren't wearing a mask at all, and almost all the people who were were using cloth/surgicals. I was losing hope when I saw like 3 people wearing n95-style masks. Northern NJ here.

It's honestly criminal that we haven't sent everyone a box of n95s yet, and probably never will. I think there is a subset of people who are legitimately well-meaning but just don't know better. And there is another subset of people who just does what everyone else does. If everyone was wearing their government N95s, they would be too. But when there's a bunch of people going unmasked, well, they do that instead.

I'd really like to know the real answer to this.

I'd also really like to know if it's possible to do this at a state-run drive-thru site in a state that actually does have a database (Washington).

Would really like to get #4 without having to walk inside a pharmacy.

i got a second "first" shot by giving them my real information. i even handed them my drivers license and they took down information off of it. if they wanted they could have used my name and birthday on my license to look up in the state database that i had already gotten all the recommended shots. nobody cares

Just wait for New Years, it’s going to be lit. No one will be careful, the bars and restaurants will be full. People will be having raging house parties etc. No one loving cares anymore and they also think, falsely, that vaccines will save them even if boosted.

The idiots like Max and Glenn are trying to be edgelords who challenge authority so they’re going to say and report on the opposite of whatever the government is pushing (even when the info they push is already weak and wrong). So they elevate idiots like Jay and Martin or Monica, basically anyone who challenges mask and vaccine mandates.

I’m so done with this, I hope it all collapses on their heads.

We sure did. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but since this is an old strain isn't the incubation time possibly longer than Delta? Everyone's just shrinking the quarantine time/eliminating it entirely.

The PNW is also heading towards a nasty cold snap with temps in the teens. The last time we had ice storms like this people lost power for days and some for weeks. It was a loving nightmare and transportation was hosed because they don’t have the infrastructure for these situations.

Which means more hospitalizations from people slipping on ice, car accidents, etc.
