PostNouveau posted:Mildly contracting covid 4 times a year for the rest of our short lives Honestly, I feel sorry for people like this. They had all the inquisitiveness of childhood systematically beaten out of them by K-12 and external society both together. By the time they're adults, the very act of digging through research to create a picture of the threat, in other words a layman-level threat estimate, is simply inconceivable. Understanding what this crap does, and what it doesn't do, and how, isn't going to make you any safer all by itself. But it does improve familiarity with the threat. All by itself. And I can tell you, from abundant personal experience, that familiarity is the best antidote to the sort of uncomprehending shock meowmers expresses in her tweet.

SplitSoul posted:Is there any breakdown on how many of them are incidental, like, did the "Let COVID positive dads attend births" move immediately turn neonatal wards into plague pits (safely)? no. so you can't prove they aren't incidental, which is more likely, since babies rarely get hospitalized by other viral infections that, while I have no evidence linking these to covid, just kinda feels to me should behave similarly.

Lacrosse posted:Look there's only two outcomes, mild and death. And if you remember the old adage "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" then you'll understand it's actually good for you to catch it and not die. We ought to have a sarcasm smilie because I'm pretty sure you didn't intend that statement to be taken at face value. But Friedrich Nietzsche must have written that down on one of his off days. Nietzsche reminds me of Lovecraft. Sometimes he hit the ball right out of the park. Other times, he just should not have bothered. And that "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" thing was written on a really really bad day. All it amounts to is bombast. What doesn't kill you can crush you like an overloaded structural support, if the strain keeps up for too long. I know that for certain because I watched the process go more or less to completion, at much closer hand than I'd have wanted.

The 3m 6300 I ordered came in and it’s so much more comfortable then the Honeywell 7700 I had. Fits my face much better for a good seal, straps are stiffer, and much easier to hear me. I wish I’d swapped months ago. Now I just need my bling to arrive for it!

Kylaer posted:Here, though, I feel like I need to remind people that what's happening today is a lot better than what could be happening, and a lot better than what is likely to begin happening once covid gets lucky on another mutation roll. There is a pretty good chance that today is "the good days," compared to what's ahead. Omicron is nowhere near as bad as we first panicked about it being, but another variant in the future could go the distance. It's all a matter of perspective, and I want to help keep things in perspective. I can't speak for everybody, but that's how I read it.

McNugget Buddy posted:"Ocugen won't shut the gently caress up so we have to push it through now to avoid antitrust lawsuits" At this point, w.r.t vaxxing the under 5s, I'm like "I don't care whether you use ordinary dynamite or PETN; I just want that loving stump gone". Whatever gets the job done. The 1-12 years group is a permanent stealth vector of its very own, for every respiratory bug under the sun. Because
That last, BTW, is a thing every "adult" ought to understand, but learning it too young is NOT a good thing.

CPU Abuser posted:We ought to have a sarcasm smilie because I'm pretty sure you didn't intend that statement to be taken at face value. A general rule of thumb in this subforum is that if your immediate reaction is "Surely they can't be serious," 95% of the time they're being sarcastic.  It's one of the few places on the internet where Poe's Law mostly doesn't apply.Note that this rule does not apply to certain other subforums on this site .....

Not a big fan of this kind of perspective as it means you’ve been conditioned to normalize mass death and “ nowhere near as bad as we first panicked about it being” is still very, very bad, specifically for those in healthcare. But, what piece was nowhere as bad? Deaths? Personally, the fact that so many more people this time around got infected is what’s most worrying since that translates to more people being disabled in the long-term.

As I posted this past weekend, critical thinking and adaptability are not desirable mental skills in our society anymore. Capital realized it only needs unquestioning cogs for the vast majority of its labor requirements, so getting rid of those skills from the labor pool makes the workers it does need more compliant and less likely to do something against Capital, like form a union or understand alternative economic systems. A very simple yet very radical thing you can do in 2022 is to hone your critical thinking skills.

It's not just a lack of critical thinking, though that is a major component; we are watching, in real time, as the machinery of cybernetic capitalism overrides the survival instinct in a large portion of the population.
