NYT doing what to me comes off as half-assed pieces, interviewing a clown brigade, appears to be the new normal (this article sucks).

What even is the point in asking the person in charge of the group for sending kids back to school, if kids should be sent back to school? Or the guy that can't figure out that if people are already feeling unwell, a mask won't protect them? Idk, but the entire piece is a mish-mash without any clear point.

Staying home while you're sick is actually bad for kids now.

drat it's crazy how much time these deer are spending indoors.

I bet fish are doing pretty good against the novel coronavirus because they're usually in schools.

Many of the agreement�s terms are practices the department has already adopted. It states that the DOC will test all inmates, which the department started doing last month.

The dehumanizing comes from the US penal system. You are taking offense at a poster for recognizing that the system producing the data is inhumane, even if the research is contributing to science.

They didn't even get the data, the ACLU did; would be nice to use it in a legal trial some day. Granted, the levels of crimes against humanity that the corrections systems get to mean that that might be an excess thing on top and slow the trial. :dogstare:

Baddog: May 12, 2001

The attitude among some that you should just act like there is no pandemic, but chug some pax when you do get sick, is contributing to a lot more use of paxlovid than anything else.

But that is overwhelmingly counteracted by the crushing preponderance of "pax has too many side effects*, you shouldn't take it unless X and Y and Z". Therefore the demand for the drug just isn't there, they aren't making much of it now because there is no demand, and most of it that was ordered is expired.

The tiny fraction of people who are still concerned about covid enough to want to get a box of pax ahead of time is vanishingly small. But in any case, both rave-paxxers and doomers are keeping demand from completely flat-lining, so hopefully more will get made here soon. And there is still pax out there, hospital supply chain managers have to start prioritizing keeping poo poo in stock instead of just-in-time optimization for a few more pennies.

*seems like most are worried about icky taste and "rebounds", which is dumb as poo poo. But I'm personally not excited about taking a set of drugs which inhibit liver function, for any amount of time. So still trying to just not get covid.

Rosalind: Apr 30, 2013; When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.

This is definitely my most radical opinion but here it goes. Having worked in correctional health for a year at the world's largest penal colony conducting research and therefore witnessed uncountable cruelties, every jail should be burnt to the ground and our entire criminal justice system should have to be restarted from scratch because there is absolutely nothing worth saving.

Any study of inmates is inherently coercive and no study of inmates can be ethical as a result. Data collected unethically are suspect for a myriad of reasons and therefore I do not trust any study conducted with an incarcerated population. I had to fight to not get my own work published because I didn't believe in it.
