Every thread I read in cspam is pretty much a chat thread right now. I didn't know it was a problem, honestly.

Healthwise absolutely. If you mean socially safe, I think it depends on how loud the cube this

I'm watching the general trend of cases in my area. I don't trust the absolute numbers but I assume that the trend is still reasonably trustworthy. I'm also keeping an eye on wastewater data, though there's only one plant in my vicinity that does wastewater sampling and they only sample once a week so it's very up and down so only worthwhile as a lagging indicator. Other than that I just kind of assume that whatever is happening in New York is gonna hit me about a month later.

It's cool when peolpe believe that covid is a Chinese lab leak, and then simultaneously sees China doing insane lockdowns and pursuing covid zero, andt hey still dont even pause before going full open biden

It's actually insanely cool that people saw China locking down a city of 20 million people, something that has never been done before in history, and scrambling to build field hospitals in a week, and then seeing cases declared outside of China during the largest human migration event of the year, then seeing cases in Italy, and then being shocked and owned when there are cases in America to the point that they have to come up with mental shortcuts (the specifics depend on political affiliation) to deny the presence of a crisis warranting behavioral change

There are resources in the OP for gauging spread listed under "COVID-19 Resources" with direct links to covid tracking hubs but I think at this point we're all just going on the assumption that the air outside your home is covid because you can't get an accurate read when the majority of cases aren't being reported and not even wastewater is getting updated depending on where you live. That being said, google "wastewater [your state or city]".

my view has been to adhere to my covid strategy no matter what. never share unfiltered air with anyone outside my household. i don't treat my friends as the list of people that i'm fine getting covid from, because as far as covid is concerned, they're just people. and i know none of them are putting any effort into protecting themselves. hanging out, shaking hands, and hugging are all fine, but my mask only comes off in clean air.

cases go up, cases go down, mask stays on. don't try to negotiate or rules lawyer a virus, only your physical actions matter.

Good reasoning, but for me hanging out, shaking hands, and hugging are very much not fine. No one's getting anywhere near me.

True, but I'm responding to the comment about trolling the thread in general. Anyone running in to say things like "stop talking about masks" or "it's safe to gather with people outside your household" should be shouted down, troll or no.

calling that a successful trolling mission is stupid.

I think judging from how many people ITT actually have covid right now or caught it within the last 2 weeks, we're currently in the highest peak in the worst wave so far in the USA. Or everyone here just very unluckily lives in the worst areas.

I realise this is not accurate or any kind of good measure, and I'm sure it's actually just the start of the wave from looking at the data. But wow. Lots of us have it right now! More than ever before!
