Lmao. And less than a week from when Austin dropped all of their restrictions.

I wonder if a mayor is low enough on the totem that he wouldn't get any of the good stuff to prevent any suffering?

Covid is the mind-killer

Covid is the brain-cheezer. It is the little virion that brings total swiss-cheezerization. I will face my covid. I will permit it to pass into me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the covid has gone there will be nothing. Only Applebee's will remain.

Thunderstorms are endemic, and it is unrealistic to ask people NOT to stand under trees during them, so you might as well tell them to stand under short trees. In fact, you are weird if you don’t stand under short trees yourself.

I really sympathize, it's so hard when your kid is sick and having one in the NICU must be a whole different level of worry. Especially right now it must be very tough.

Regarding people going unmasked, it makes me very angry but ultimately the health authorities are telling people they don't need masks so they're not wearing them. The people at the top are principally to blame.

oh totally, gently caress the leadership and capital, it’s all their fault. I know that intellectually.

when I’m walking around in a hospital and kids are hacking next to clueless parents jabbing at their phones, I do not know it emotionally

im guessing omicron 1 gets to you easy but in low volume, meaning lower viral loads and fewer symptoms, while omicron 2 gets to you easy in large volume with a higher viral load and more symptoms. so the difference between heavy rain that will get your feet wet even with an umbrella vs heavy rain & high winds winds soaking you and turning your umbrella inside out. only way to stay dry is to stay inside, which wont work when a big hurricane comes along and floods your house

The challenge trial found no correlation between viral load and severity of symptoms.

If Shanghai falls, I don't see how China can keep any city safe. It's probably Beijing's equal in terms of resources and attention from the central government. Pretty grim poo poo! Lol lmao

The Chinese have way less appetite for open biden and let nature take it's course. I wonder what happens if lockdowns start to fail just because of the sheer transmissibility of all these new variants. Can there even be a regime change in China borne of popular discontent? Will we start to see cool zone protests? I can't imagine that.

Log growth outstrips our capacity to deal with every aspect of these infections so fast. You need log growth of contact tracers, log growth of hospital beds, log growth of every drat thing. We're so lucky covid isn't a killer like some of its cousins.

Sorry, "any of this" was doing a lot of work there. I meant any variant beyond Omicron (or that Omicron even has subvariants), and that COVID is actually rising all over the place.

Why are all the news articles I find searching XE random local news, foreign of unknown reputability, or sketchy sounding? Like, I know major outlets don't want to sound the alarm or anything, but it would be nice to find one from something well known or even a direct source from WHO, which I also can't seem to find.

Anyone have a good article that lib friends won't immediately discount due to the source?

Compiled the variants graph for the most recent week of results for WA (week beginning Mar. 20th) though this only contains ~200 sequences and should be considered incomplete.



GISAID is still using the Feb. 28th version of Pango for lineage assignments. I don't expect Washington state to have anything of the more recently assigned things like XE, though I would have expected an update to at least an early-March version. Not sure when they plan to roll the next Pango update in.

lol what happened to the people who said "oh it's good we got the mild omicron variant first so we will be immune to the future variants" or "is omicron the mild variant to get???"

I only just read about it this morning in an auto translated article. Appears to be a recombination of BA.1 and BA.2 detected in Thailand and Taiwan?

10% increased transmission above BA.2

I mean, the average person does about 0.03% for the flu. How much harder can it be to avoid this virus?

kid still in the NICU, hopefully discharged tomorrow

blows my mind the amount of parents I see coming into a motherfucking hospital which is where the motherfucking covid lives and motherfucking makes itself tenants and aren’t wearing a mask and neither is their kid

and it’s a children’s hospital and if you’re there with your kid it means they’re at risk for at least some loving reason! I love my daughter so much and she is like days old, why are people like this, I hate everyone

Not masked in the NICU? Around here if you violated hygiene in the NICU the nurses would ban your rear end instantly, even before COVID.
