Now I know I might not be a big city permabanned fridge doctor, but I think having 52.5% of your population (in the US's case) having comparably infectious viral loads to the unvaccinated if they get sick isn't a good thing, especially considering the Open Biden narrative unfolding before our eyes.

I don't have that "I feel fine" image handy, but pretend I posted it here, because that's what everybody is doing.

I had the GBS Covid thread bookmarked accidentally and posted in there. Big whoopsie but it’s also funny that GBS is taking Covid seriously while the very good D&D think tank brains are minimizing it.

The GBS thread is more doomer than this one.

We all know that the situation is bad now. The difference is that to C-SPAM, it didn’t come as a surprise.

saw this being retweeted by some anarchists and while I get that China is having difficulty with it lockdown this feels basically identical to those anti lockdown accounts compiling videos of suited up hazmat workers trying to restrain screaming antivaxxers and going “1984 is here and you’re letting it happen” https://twitter.com/chuangcn/status/1512816748667420675?s=21&t=fW_yPN3CnKVUxHpYTfj57w

I recall you saying this information is coming from the CDC?

Looking at Ann Arbor, washtenaw county MI, your chart days the % change in the last 15 days is 1400+%, but when i look on this page it lists the current viral level change in the last 15d @ 45%: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#wastewater-surveillance

Trixie Hardcore - if you can find the time I'd love to have a table of contents at the top of the OP with like:

#1: COVID FACTS
#2: BUY BEANS
#3: FART INTO YOUR MASK

etc and then you know place those labels in the relevant sections so people can ctrl+f for sections instead of scrolling.

Or maybe I'm the only weirdo that likes that functionality in threads?

Yeah I was planning on adding a table of contents to the OP because I think we need it too.

Can I link within the OP to a section in the OP? or is ctrl+f the only way? I read the BBcode page and didn't see that I could and it's been like 2003 since I had a geocities site.

Also can anyone recommend a free image editor? All I have is MS Paint 3D but I wanted to make a couple visuals for the OP.

Anyone in the US isn't in the position to criticize any other country's lockdown strategy because they've never experienced one.

and the more chances we give covid to reproduce and mutate the greater the risk for everyone, everywhere. it’s literally wishing self-harm because hey dipshits don’t give it millions more fresh bodies to sustain itself. that’s bad for everyone. lovely US covid policy is essentially an ongoing biological attack on other nations right now, especially when we let it run rampant at home, abroad, and simultaneously don’t freely provide mRNA tech and manufacturing free and unrestricted to every other country.

covid is the #1 US damaging export right now. the leaders don’t care. damage to other countries is fine with them, even a geopolitical win. even if it’s China where all of our critical poo poo is manufactured and their caution and covid zero has been keeping the staggering US afloat for over 2 years. the feckless and irresponsible US refusal to even try for covid zero is killing and maiming millions and basically just a massive ongoing crime.

If I need more than crops and Comic Sans, I use https://www.gimp.org/. Yes, that's the name of the program. Yes, programmers should never be allowed to name things.

It's basically diet Photoshop, but free. If you're a Photoshop user, it'll probably chafe a bit, but it's been more than sufficient for me. Reminds me of my mom paying me to crop tires out of backgrounds when I was 11.
