no we have to wait for a peer reviewed study proving that omicron is doing harm to people, otherwise we are bound by the laws of the universe to take no precautions and consider it completely benign until absolute ironclad proof that it isn't has emerged. that hasn't happened yet so I think the government should force everyone to spit into each others' mouths at gunpoint while we wait for more data.

Kiddo #1 is getting her pfizer #2 today, 21 days exactly after she turned 5.

She asked me, "Dad, why do I need a second coronavirus shot?" which led to, more or less "how does any of this work anyway"

I did my best to give a 3-minute distilled-for-a-5-year-old explanation of: normal mitosis, ACE2 binding of corona in her nose cells, the immune response, hijacking the rNA pipeline to make "weaponized" muscle cells that pump out spike protein, and then explained antibodies and t-cells as little guys that learn how to make weapons based on what they are exposed to, and are therefore primed to attack the real virus.

Here are my visual aids, I expect the bad thread would ban me for this for not being an licensed viral cartographer or something :allears:

On the subject of groceries, was thinking about the implications of grocery curbside pickup/deliveries right now. Your average respirator+goggle wearing triple+ vaccinated reader of this thread is likely better protected than most of the store workers that spend all day in the aisles fulfilling orders. At least those of us that aren't immunocompromised etc. In that case it seems gross to make these workers take additional risks getting your groceries when you'd be safer doing it yourself. Or is the rationale here that these workers are definitely getting COVID no matter what, so at least staying out of the store yourself decreases personal risk? Guess it could be argued that the less people in the store overall translates into lower community spread and case rates.

I finally picked up a pack of the milwaukee gasket valve masks. They're pretty expensive but they seem like they're great if you have a big face and want the best seal you can get without a respirator.

it's not exactly what the libs blamed trump for doing; when trump was doing it, the country wasn't currently seeing a million new cases a day, providing covid with the most ample opportunity for mutation and evolution it has ever had, creating a situation where the generation of a future series of variant waves that will truly never end is all but guaranteed lol

I’m immunocompromised so I guess I get a pass, but I try to soothe my guilt by placing orders for 8:00am when the store opens so that they can shop my order while the store is still closed.
