Lol just got chased out of my UK COVID thread for being too alarmist / negative around Christmas (aka correcting an idiot who said Omicron has made COVID a manageable disease like a cold).

Thank you this thread for existing.

It’s amazing how effective the consent manufacturing has been. In the past week or two, I literally haven’t had a single conversation with family, either on my side or my wife’s, that hasn’t involved them saying “but it’s supposed to be mild” re: Omicron.

i'm loving that guy in the D&D thread going "hospitals aren't overwhelmed, we need to just accept deaths are gonna happen and cut back on the PHIs"

god they all have loving brainworms, i hate it

Maybe he’s basing this on how many bodies you can fit in a hospital much like a jar only 90% full of jellybeans isn’t overwhelmed.


Obviously there’s a lot wrong with this take but also yes I think a country with a billion and a half people is better equipped to shrug off 800k deaths than a country with 330 million people.

very few people coughing is doing a lot of work there. Hope they don’t get it but it will be so hard to be sympathetic if they do.

“Assuming the r0 of omicron is ten, I only hear like four people coughing and there are 200 people on the plane so I think our odds are good!”

It’s wild in light of the “China doesn’t care about human life” and “Human Wave Attack” narrative of the Korean and Vietnam Wars that’s seen a resurgence from China hawks recently.

Even if the American tactical narratives were true (they aren’t), you could at least say Chosin Reservoir, Hue Citadel, whatever were significant military objectives that warranted the cost. What the gently caress did 800k Americans die for?

e: Some trivia - when American troops entered the Great War they horrified both their allies and the Germans by disregarding everything learned since 1914 and actually launching human wave attacks that late in the war.

i was going to ask if you were seriously asking this because how could anyone still be unconvinced after two years that americans will be shoveled into the coal furnace indefinitely to keep the train of The Economy running but then i saw it was cato wife guy and i was like oh yeah lol that makes sensesense

so i bought the 3M HF-803SD respirator recommended in the OP and the p100 magenta filters to go with it.... and I feel like I'm missing something?

Do you also need a cartridge, or are the p100 click-ins sufficient? :confused:

a filter is enough to filter viruses

a "cartridge" is a thing with a reactive thing that captures/filters poisonous gases. you can buy a cartridge-filter combo that will both filter both particles and some kind of gas

If covid didn't bang up virtually every major organ system and instead was just respiratory the vaccines being mostly effective at preventing death would mostly solve the problem.

But covid likes to bang up virtually every major organ system.
