to be clear I’m just asking to be pragmatic, bringing a zika kid into the world seems like needless pain and suffering beyond the usual amount of course

Chamale posted:I wrote about this in the last thread, this was my answer: Thank you for including number 5 because if you try to place covid onto any sort of historical context (impossible I know without the benefit of hindsight) it's increasingly clear that this is the beginning of a new phase of global crisis. Western governments' crisis response capabilities are decreasing, not growing, even as the crises get bigger. The crises in question are, like covid, going to be a matter of numbers and physics that don't add up to any good outcome, and the ~material~ implications of these numbers are going to shape daily lives for the decades to come. There will be more crises and people are sick of covid. However to really "end" the pandemic the replacing crisis must be either affecting daily life more than covid (coffee shortage anyone?) or have more spectacle (e.g. war). Otherwise it won't be enough to replace covid in the narrative space.

I worry that those of us who still care are like the countries in Pacific Rim that were going to rely on their huge walls to keep the Kaiju out. Except of course that more and more Kaiju keep showing up, and they keep getting bigger and bigger. And we are constantly being told that Kaiju are normal and endemic, so it’s best to learn to love, laugh, and live with them.

Here's a paragraph straight out of hell: "InstaMed, a J. P. Morgan company, released the Trends in Healthcare Payments Twelfth Annual Report - highlighting trends from the major industry stakeholders, consumers, providers, and payers. The report delves into the financial toll that the covid-19 pandemic has had on the healthcare ecosystem. Those realities have shed light on the need for providers and payers to prioritize and accelerate improvements to their payment processes."

It's just crazy how much people that are normally very reasonable have internalized the "it can't happen to me" mindset. you’ve got to be pretty fuckin unlucky to be potentially the second person in the US go have a Zika baby https://abc7ny.com/zika-baby-update-darah/11653836/

Thoguh posted:That's right mother fuckers. Zika. She's gotta get tested to see if she caught Zika in the Dominican. we still have zika educational signs up in galveston county because we have mosquitos year round and people that catch zika on on vacation can spread it here easier than other parts of the country with a short mosquito season. she might have killed her baby. jfc Zugzwang posted:Zika is definitely still around; it just isn’t reported on as much. That's because zika is endemic to poorer nations currently. It’s not a US problem. Basically what the cdc et al are trying to do to covid anyway if the person in the op actually has zika they might have to quarantine if yall are in a mosquito prone region edit: i take no pleasure in talking about zika or its effects on fetuses. i saw zika roll over my community and probably caught it myself. i wasn't directly affected because i am not/was not pregnant at the time. it was not fun knowing that if i forgot my mosquito spray i could effectively sentance someone else's fetus to death and i still find stashed bug spray very similar to what's going on now, see the 2026 surgical mask tiktok but sub bug spray call_of_qthulhu has issued a correction as of 17:33 on Mar 25, 2022 |

The CDC is pushing that joke comorbidity chart as a way to say dying of covid is actually your fault and I wouldn't be surprised if the life insurance industry found a way to wrangle it into a way to deny covid claims.

It's just the fact that it's now even something that has entered the conversation that's loving wild but also a direct result of decisions they had control over.

don't worry, it's not zika. it's probably just some so-far unknown horrific effect of covid, which means it's absolutely nothing to worry about at all. imagine the relief that mother will feel when she's told that her baby had comorbidities, so their disfigurement and or death was far milder than it could have been if it weren't covid

Lots of people on work Slack saying they are sick with "allergies" and reporting negative antigen tests. It's been said a million times, but the strategy of relying on those tests was genius political theater. Millions of false negatives and most of the pozzes won't even show up in the official stats.
