What sucks is that people are already using these stories to try to counteract rising hospitalizations, even though someone with no symptoms who walks into an ER for a test isn't included in hospitalization figures at all.

Also the fact that this poo poo is happening at all is a direct result of our failure to provide good messaging and adequate testing infrastructure. We're going to respond by telling people not to get tested at all.

You think Trump wouldn’t put the world in danger for profit too? The movie is fine. It shows all the liberals getting angry at Trumpish scandals and ignoring the extinction level event too which is also on point. It can apply to climate change, Covid, etc, it works well regardless. I do kinda wish the doomer crew people were communist instead of secretly Christian but oh well
Trump would also do that but the movie was pretty much explicitly about Trumpism while implying nothing about liberals, who made the movie.

yeah that's the other thing, you tell trump he needs to save the world with nukes it's happening yesterday and he's naming the project after himself. tell biden he needs to spend money to save the world you have to consult the republicans for a reasonable approach

Turns out that my brother's girlfriend had an exposure, so they didn't visit my parents for Christmas.

Of course my parents are convinced that vax and boost mean Omicron is just like a virus that "comes and goes," so it's only a matter of time until I get bad news, because they're not listening to me.

does anyone have any experience with the MSA Advantage 900 with source control + speaking diaphragm? https://us.msasafety.com/Air-Purify...01190?locale=en

Was recommended by Naomi Wu on Twitter. having a little bit of problem with figuring out where to order

I'm in Europe and I just had it shipped over the Atlantic, from safety equipment store dot com.
Where I am at, Omi is due to obertake Delta in the coming days, so far I've just been running ffp2 PPE.

The mask is comfortable and the speech diaphragm was effective on dry run presentations.
Haven't got anybody to brief me on a good way to fit test it, beyond what the manual indicates, so have not mainlined it yet in daily life.

Would also appreciate anyone with experience on this unit to share here.

The world moves on a marten's lips
COVID has been fascinating to watch, the last few weeks especially, because it's basically watching an internet argument play out, but with actual consequences.

You've got the people who cherrypick scientific research to argue that it's not that bad, we should be open Biden. If they read past the abstract at all, it's simply to find phrases or numbers that support their argument, there's no real consideration of any caveats or how it's comparing to other studies that are coming out. There's also no real acknowledgement that these are preprints, with the possibility of a major error or outright fraud that might be caught in peer review. Heck by the standards of this debate tactic you'd have to accept a couple of preprints indicating that the horse paste is an effective means of treating COVID.

You've also people who are rules lawyering, as if COVID were a human construct. poo poo like "I spent less than 15 minutes around this person, I absolutely don't have COVID despite showing symptoms", "my mask is on my head, the virus can't get me", or "I'm vaccinated, it is no longer my responsibility to quarantine myself".

It's a stew of motivated reasoning projecting as rational, fact-based behavior.


At this point I'm inclined to take the milk and bennies cure for COVID, because I probably have a better chance bargaining for my life with the Hatman than I do bargaining for my life with this society.

A decent percentage of at home tests are going to be done or interpreted wrong.

Which was sort of the point! The emphasis on at home tests was part of the drive to make COVID an issue of individual responsibility. Biden loving up on their availability is pure incompetence. More people are forced to PCRs which means they are showing up in official data.
