Delta still fighting for its life in Kansas, apparently

Two months ago we didn't know Omicron existed, and now it's the dominant strain, driving Delta to extinction. If you aren't terrified by this, I don't know what to say.

Bidenishly: do your taxes
I got a letter from the IRS *yesterday* after waiting 7+ months for a $300 refund saying they finally got around to looking at my tax returns and they're unsatisfied with the evidence I've provided that I paid for health insurance in 2020 and that I had 30 days to respond from the date of the letter.

The letter was dated 20 days ago.

There's a while lot of nothing out there. El Paso is roughly 800 miles from both Houston and Los Angeles. It's just infinity rugged desert terrain

lol there are plenty of cities and towns between El Paso and LA, and El Paso and Dallas. Some of them are bigger than El Paso.

Hi thread, what is the latest consensus for fourth shots in a scenario such as the following: Moderna x3 (Jan, Feb, Aug '21) followed by resolved putative omicron infection in Jan '22? Say for an otherwise healthy person in late 30s/early 40s.

I bought a case of 9105 V-Flex masks instead of 9205 Auras. Both are N95, and I learned that I prefer the V-Flex series better because it makes a better seal, breathes a little easier, and I can talk with less worry of compromising the seal :ssh:

Funny how as soon as omicron hit in NZ all of the N95 type masks sold out in a day, and now suddenly I'm seeing every public official, health professional and community leader on the TV news wearing an Aura where previously they were all wearing nothing/cloth/surgical. Gee I wonder where all the loving masks went, if only we'd had literal months of watching the rest of the world get stomped by omicron to be stockpiling effective masks and getting people to wear them!

Also good news! The New Zealand government has updated its guidance on masks!

- Bandannas, scarves and t-shirts wrapped around your face are NO LONGER OK!!
- If you're a worker who's effected by mandatory vax rules (border, healthcare etc.) you have to wear at least a surgical mask!
- For everybody else, cloth masks are still ok....

What the gently caress?!

Also they still recommend not using N95's with exhalation valves because 'the valve can let droplets out' nevermind that the valve forces the small droplets to coalesce into larger ones and directs them downwards which greatly reduces their range and spread to the same order of magnitude as a surgical mask, which apparently is still recommended...

Once again, Biden has us having to do math to realize we're a buck short.

Three guests check into a hotel room. The President says they will get four covid tests for the room, so each guest uses one. Later the President realizes they should only have gotten four tests tests. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop another test to give to the guests...

My understanding when Florida was mass pushing mabs out to sick people was that those treatments only work if you're pre-symptomatic (ie, getting regular surveillance testing) and that De Santis had some sort of financial interest in giving out as many of them as possible, efficacy be damned.
