idk man I just went hard on the ignore list and laughed at some fuckin losers crying in SAD, I’ve made literal millions of dollars combating a global pandemic and my team’s prevented hundreds of thousands of deaths if not millions

I’m happy to provide advice for people to protect themselves and their loved ones, this virus is no joke and it’s going to be a mass disabling event, but forum wars on some web 1.5 website are some of the least relevant poo poo ever

bobtheconqueror posted:

You know how folks complain about "normalization" forcing COVID news and people that are COVID conscious, from immunocompromised folks to just people who don't like being sick, into the margins of society? The notion that many people are ignorant of the realities of COVID because it's simply considered impolite to discuss them?

This is just a dead comedy forum, but the sort of forced decorum (in a supposed FYAD lite no less), especially when dealing with a mass death and disability event, is normalization in action. It's the very same idea of conflating calmness and politeness with just thought or actions, ultimately as a means to enforce the status quo, but in this case more likely just a weird visceral reaction brought on by propaganda that COVID isn't something to be taken seriously.

I don't have any objections to moderating the thread, but the whole notion that we can thread the needle to please dedicated poo poo stirrers who demand the thread be "normal" is absurd at face value. COVID taken seriously isn't normal, and folks whose whole posting persona is trying to police other threads aren't inclined to be satisfied anyways. The thread will be normalized until it is dead or removed, regardless of the actual content of the posts.

On that note, would anyone know the component markings to make sure it's a genuine aranet, given what we've seen with masks there?

A customer comes in and asks "so, are you OK? Are you sick or something, is that why you're wearing the mask?", and I say "No I just don't want to get sick, or get my family sick."

"I thought that was over with."

He grabs his vodka and as he plunks it down on the counter he launches into a detailed, graphic description of the time he got covid, ended up hospitalized for four days, and now has weird inflammation in his one knee (he's limping) plus really struggles to stay focused in a way he didn't before.

"Hope I don't get it again, I'm not sure I could go back to work with any more of this poo poo. Anyway, see ya."

A lot of my otherwise smart coworkers who abandoned precautions in the last year are getting it now, some for the first time. My bold prediction is that the next 6-8 weeks will be critical to determine if anyone does something about it in the subsequent 6-8 weeks.

Chaos option is that BA2.86 gets its lunch eaten by its spawn.

Also, uh, if you can wrangle it get the assays you'd want done for pax ahead of time, I suspect CDC stream or no that we're not too from a wave that might force some sort of pivot, and I suspect the first thing they'll try is paxmaxing in a way that we'd consider ill-advised.
