lol i just got the news that hospitals will stop daily rwporting of a ton of poo poo come february.

so apparently the answer to “just wait till we get a fascist that know what he’s doing!” is “that person is joe biden.” quite literally doing what trump wanted to do but couldnt.

I'll confess that I doubted Biden could go any lower than the bar set by Trump. I didn't vote for him but I'll admit to being wrong

a couple years ago it came out that the mormon church has at least $100 billion stashed away. by some accounts it is wealthier than the catholic church (i think if you don't include the catholic church's non-liquid assets like old buildings eg the sistine chapel or religious artifacts).

i wonder what the sistene chapel would go for on the open market. 50 billion?

Went to the store yesterday (NoVA) and like folks said, stuff is starting to get picked over
almost no chicken in the case, ramen was decimated, vegetables hit and miss
toilet paper still fully stocked so we're not in the end times just yet but it's the kind of damage you only see around storm panic rushes
if this keeps up people will have no choice but to notice

New horror just dropped: heart lesions

quote:

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been diagnosed with heart lesions after recovering from Covid-19 at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Arsenal forward was ruled out of Gabon’s 1-1 draw against Ghana on Friday.

The “cardiac lesions” were found in a check by Confederation of African Football (CAF) medical officials, the Gabonese FA said in a statement. Officials examined Aubameyang after he returned following a positive Covid test. Two of his Gabon teammates, forward Axel Meyé and midfielder Mario Lemina, who were both also found to have the same issue.

Is it even avoidable, though? I mean, I have young kids, but I assume at some point they're going to want to go into someone else's house. I guess I can home school them until they graduate and get infected at work or college. Assuming I'm not homeless because I lost my job while trying to moonlight as a kindergarten teacher. And assuming I haven't dropped dead of exhaustion from working 24/7 for several years.

Certainly you can try to minimize risk to the best of your ability, and get infected as few times as possible, but outright zero covid doesn't seem practical on an individual level.

Yes, people can only do the best they can and society+capital is making it as difficult as possible for parents and everyone else. I've posted a lot recently that parents should do everything they can to avoid infection and didn't mean to imply that people itt weren't already trying everything they could in a bad situation. Will avoid doing that again. We're aiming for zero reinfections but even this might not be possible for all the kinds of reasons you mention.

And yeah no shared unfiltered air, online or homeschooling indefinitely and all that follows. College/work for them is a ten+ year away problem, I'm worried about the next several months.

In the back of my mind I do hope that somehow despite all evidence to contrary the current hopeless situation is temporary and that next generation vaccines that don't just blindly copy extant spike proteins might do better in this misguided evolutionary arms race. Or maybe western society tries to actually control viral spread, tbh the miracle vaccine scenario sounds marginally more likely.

I kinda got the feeling that those goons who jumped on my anecdote that it's Delta > Omicron is wrong.
Ah shoot we're in the middle of making some big life changes to reduce exposure and was assuming there'd be another 2-4 months or so of antibody protection to make our moves. Sucks.

There’s a storm happening here and I heard a big thud against the back of my house, I go out to investigate and a whole 8ft baby tree, roots and all hit my house. I go to pull it off my house and a maskless UPS guy ninja’s up behind me with a package and sprayed mystery particulates all over my naked face.

    1) Do I have covid now?
    2) Is this stupidest way to get covid?
    3) Did the UPS guy throw the tree to lure me out?
    4) Was it a mistake to leave the bunker?
