Having kids during covid definitely increases stress but is mostly fine. The worst part is knowing that the leaders of the country truly do not give a gently caress if your kid winds up dead or disabled, and they will only pay lip service to THE CHILDREN to win political points with their rube voter bases.

i can protect myself and don’t have any dependents. the thought of having a small child that trusts me having to go get infected with Covid over and over seems horrible from the outside. also worse for my health

All the replies say things like “But the sizes and the demographics of the two groups are different! You can’t use this as a proxy for vaccine efficacy! And why don’t you break out boosted versus unboosted!”

These are all fine points, but what these numbers do show, in their raw form, is that these vaccines. Do. Not. End. This. Pandemic.

The vaccine fairy could jab everyone secretly in the night, and COVID would still be much worse than any flu the world has faced in a century.

America’s strategy has failed. I said it would fail in early 2021, and it has.

This is situation-dependent of course, but I’m much more concerned about getting infected via my kid once she eventually goes to school (she’s only 8 months, so I have some time) than vice-versus. I wear only good masks, and the only kind of exception I will make re: never, ever demasking in public is when I go get my photo ID taken soon. Wifezwang is the same.

In b4 new thread rule banning personals

When my significant other had to choose between her highly succesful, highly well paid career and her personal health, she made a very novel choice: flipping both off, moving back in with her sister, and doing hard drugs. I was hosed up about it for a long time, but hey, no children to take care of and it made more sense than all these masks off parents with young kids. Now their problems are over. At least it made it easier for me to move on.

It's the apocalypse so it's time to adapt and survive. Holla at me single ladies. I'm a geeky slob who lives in a rural area in a red state and who has cracked every single one of his pings, and I'm no millionaire, but I got multiple houses, dozens of acres of farmable land, and more than enough wherewithal to only share air with people of my choosing for the rest of my life.

For awhile now I've enjoyed my paradise alone while watching society fracture into irretrievable madness. If you like, let's try and bond over cackling as the world burns and absolutely turning our backs forever on friends and family who try to shame and drag us into permanent disability alongside them. I'm a bigtime outdoorsman and former world traveler. I have a good network of online friends I previously met in some spicy air while traveling and a handful of trustworthy non-chud local people. I enjoy building houses with a friend; you can mostly sit in the shade and watch me work if you prefer. I'm discussing going into business with a few interested people, but I would rather my partner be my partner, yknow?

420 24/7, all other substances get treated like they're covid. Bossy ladies with muscles and criminal records get preferential treatment, but I like all kinds. ApocalypseEnjoyer#8958, let's literally videochat in our respirators.

Hopefully this ten dollar bill will let me skip talking to dozens upon dozens of clueless women and be worth the money and the hassle of all the psycho nerds gearing up to stalk me.

Speaking of which, pay attention, virgins: you'll have to try and troll and own me on discord cuz I'm outta here. No time for whatever the hell it is you do here.

My thanks though to the wonderful people in this thread (and this thread alone) who've been providing life-saving information and support to total strangers for years while the rest of society fails so spectacularly that it's surprising to even the most coldhearted cynic. Maybe in a decade or two when everyone else is dead or wheelchair-bound and drooling, we'll throw a party on the grave of America. Good luck out there.

i was basically right. i walked in and she saw i was wearing a mask and immediately put one one, waving off my "oh you don't need to." we talked a lot about a lot of stuff, including the machinery of running a covid response for two years, and what kinds of concerns / incentives / etc were driving the decisions / calling the shots now. it was very interesting and illuminating — no great surprises or secret conspiracies, but confirmation that, like all institutional decisions, they're a mix of data, finances, relationships, politics, etc.

Nah, you’re right and none of this looks like an anti-kid screed. I have one in remote elementary school and it has been a serious source of stress even though my spouse and I are unlikely to show up on the spreadsheet. It sucks hard, but there’s a good chance I’ll manage to send a halfway decent human out into the world in a few years. I should probably apologize to him in advance for that.
