the compounding toll of psychic damage that everyone has been, is now, and for the foreseeable future, will be taking daily has to manifest somehow. if we, the most covid conscious people, the mf secure clique, are starting to flag, then i can only imagine what is going on in the minds of other people. i don't ask for much truth be told, id settle for a life less frightening

we're so doomed. there isnt a single thing that won't be consumed by the culture war. today its ivy league doctors publishing misinformation to ride it, or Elon Musk tweeting "canadian truckers rule" in implicit support of the sovereign citizen anti-vaxx trucker movement, tomorrow reactionary youtube will start poisoning fresh water supplies with polonium—which has not been proven in peer-reviewed study to be harmful to drink from a tap—to trigger the girl who refused their advances and went on to dye her hair bright orange in college. the internet needs to be eradicated as soon as possible

Him and Martin Killdork haven’t ever once criticized what’s happening in the US now. They’ve only said a let er rip policy is defaming them and Great Bullshit Declaration (because that’s what they proposed). They’ve not once decried the current policy of throwing critically vulnerable people to the wolves because they’re lying when they say they care and that’s what we should be doing. Disengenuous piece of poo poo, I hope he gets his eventually and it’s painful.

Greg Legg posted:There's nothing wrong with working at the gas station! I still have 800 posts to catch up on, since my shift ended, but Op didn't say they was anything wrong. OP just took "working at a gas station" as an indication that the worker is poor. And it is. OP also suggested that, as hosed up as it is, avoiding poor people is a strategy some wealthy folk employ (generally), and that it is a relativity effective way for a wealthy person to avoid covid. Because wealthy people have concierge doctors, wfh options, and PTO. OP also poured themselves as from a wealthy family, but has some awareness of social justice, limited perhaps, but far more than your average wealthy person. Now, OP doesn't mention that the reason new variants spread so fast is because we're still allowing the jet set to wreck the atmosphere globetrotting. All wars are class wars, covid is no different. Also, covid splits the PMC. Professors, teachers, librarians, are now poor, as they don't have WFH options, concierge doctors (though they do enjoy insurance) or adequate PTO. Contrast this with similarly paid computer touchers, who are now quite wealthy.

Covok posted:What is the current WHO excess death estimate for 2020 and 2021 in America? So I actually have a spreadsheet that I update every so often to look at this. Last time I did was like November/December 2021 so it doesn't have any of the omicron deaths in there yet (though realistically those won't show up reliably in the excess mortality data till spring, both due to most of those deaths not having occurred yet, and reporting delays) Anyway here are some interesting plots and tables:  First off, the total excess mortality over the pandemic is over a million people. A lot more of that comes from younger age groups than official "covid death" statistics indicate. And this has been the case, consistently, since the start of the pandemic. Even young adults are being killed as in a war  If you compare these figures to the baseline (pre-covid) mortality, it's clear that there is an across the board relative increase in mortality of 20-30+%, with the largest relative increase in the 25-44 year old demographic. Also interesting is that, if you look at the 85+ age group--who are by far the most vulnerable to covid, with a double digit %CFR--and compare the 2021 to 2020 figures, you begin to see what "herd immunity", "endemicity", and "becoming adapted to the virus" actually entail. the host does not select for a less virulent virus, the virus selects for less vulnerable hosts  If you look at the weekly excess mortality, it's very obvious that these excesses are being driven by covid, since they rise and fall with covid case rates. This is true across all age groups. Notably, the excess deaths in 25-44 year olds seem to have really spiked during the delta wave  Why the excess is so much higher than the official reported numbers, especially in younger people, idk. There are many potential reasons. Maybe younger people are dropping dead from a heart attack or stroke weeks after being discharged and after being "covid free". Maybe they are less likely to die in hospital so attribution is more murky. But the bottom line is there is a significant increase in death across the population, except for the very young. The largest reduction in life expectancy / largest number of living & working years lost, are actually occurring in people in their prime. Edit: these data are all from CDC excess mortality data at https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm#dashboard. Feel free to export the CSV data and look at it yourselves.

I asked this in CANPOL wrt to the insane trucker thing or this new strain of Canadian conservatism that’s clearly imported from the states: When people say Boomers are getting radicalized on Facebook, how are they using the platform? I haven’t used it regularly in years, now just for messenger and to put up photos for family not on insta. If I remember, there is still the wall, status updates, likes and comments. I never got a handle on pages or groups, or how people interact with them, I feel like that there wasn’t much there before? I take it whatever is going on isn’t like scrolling through the feed on instagram and liking your friends’ photos, where are these Boomers running into insane right wing ideology and the cultural resentments of the petty boug? Just their friends posting it within their social circle of ~150 people?

CK07 posted:The actual problem I have around the social isolation is that I am already across the country from 99.9% of the people I care about and - more importantly - trust. I'm queer and so is my community, we know how to openly and honestly negotiate awkward boundaries and take responsibility for the physical and emotional health of our loved ones and community at large. I’m with you for pretty much all this. My wife and I are quarantined up and there’s no one where we live now that’d I’d trust to pod with. My best friend that I went to preschool with lives over 1k miles away and he’s probably the only person we’d pod with. He joined respirator crew pretty recently and is as paranoid as I am about this poo poo. I have some great friends here but I know all of them well enough to know they would spread it to us. There may be a few other people in the same town as my best friend I’d probably have a beer with outside or play some board games in KF94s. They are engaged in some more risk but they are universes above 99% of the rest (no indoor dining). I miss board game and whiskey nights. I miss family style restaurants more than buffets. Southern family style fried chicken places are the best. I miss frozen margaritas and sushi that isn’t lukewarm. Everything else is manageable though. We saved all the money we would have normally spent on our small yearly vacation or eating out and got a nice new TV and sound system. Who needs a theater. We did similar things with the rest of the house so that it feels less lovely to be in constantly. If we have to be inside 95% of the time for 5 years, we can probably manage it. I just don’t know what any sort of goals for the next 5 years look like other than “stay alive.”
