There was not a single place in the US where people were confined to their homes for any length of time under pain of law and the endless gaslighting over it just keeps getting more intense lmao The loving casino here opened up in early June 2020

We've never tried this exact thing in this exact situation at this exact scale and point in history, therefore it is unscientific to form any hypothesis based on previous, and therefore irrelevant, experiments. Yes, I am a very smart and insightful person.

great point I was really just referring to domestic research on spread through counties, states, etc with varying strategies of state intervention. not to mention that plenty of research has been done on how covid escaped attempts to contain it, with our (weak) state intervention front and center the fact that epidemiology exists and has been looking at spread of disease generally for much, much longer only makes the lie worse

Just remember, if a child gets Covid at school and takes it home and four family members get sick, 80% of spread was in the home. Only 20% came from school!

Looks like this book is just endlessly quoting the great barrington crowd. I replied that I don't know how those people still keep getting promoted as experts when the entire premise of the great barrington declaration was herd immunity, that we just need to infect everyone as fast as possible to get to herd immunity and then it will all be fine. Someone replied to stop making wild accusations, it was fauci promoting herd immunity. My guy, you can just go read the drat thing, it ain't that long.

I legitimately think these business bros are equating maybe their business being "essential personnel on site only" as "lockdowns" A lot of companies went wfh and stayed that way for a year or so for all job titles that could be wfh and in their view it was some kind of lockdown. Instead of you know, a massive benefit/boon to workers who didn't need to be in a specific geographical spot to do their work.

https://www.riverscasino.com/pittsburgh/press/RIVERS%20CASINO%20PITTSBURGH%20ANNOUNCES%20REOPENING%20DATE RIVERS CASINO PITTSBURGH ANNOUNCES REOPENING DATE Jun 03, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RIVERS CASINO PITTSBURGH ANNOUNCES REOPENING DATE Doors open Tuesday, June 9, at 9 a.m. PITTSBURGH—June 3, 2020—Rivers Casino Pittsburgh announced today that it will reopen on Tuesday, June 9, at 9 a.m. Rivers Casino temporarily suspended operations on March 15, ahead of the governor’s orders, to help slow the spread of COVID-19. All U.S. casinos closed soon thereafter. The reopening of Rivers Casino Pittsburgh has been planned in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). At reopening, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh will have new hours of operation: weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. and round-the-clock on weekends starting Fridays at 9 a.m. through Mondays at 4 a.m. The downtime will be used for property-wide deep cleaning in addition to continuous sanitizing throughout each day. That’s just one of many new operating procedures that Rivers Casino will be undertaking to comply with the PGCB’s new COVID-19 Casino Reopening Protocols. Masks will be required for guests and Team Members. A complete list of gaming floor modifications and safety precautions—introduced to help protect guests and Team Members—will be announced prior to reopening and published on the casino’s website.

DominoKitten posted:This is interesting because it either would indicate: I asked this exact question, and, based on my very local anecdotes, the providers think it is "something between the two". I have no idea what vaxx uptake here is like but I've been seeing masks again consistently in grocery stores since mid summer and it has seemed to tick up as the school year has rolled forward. I find it a little hard to believe that people bothering with full on n95s are not also getting boosted, but, who the gently caress knows. I'd be one of them but I hate leaving home and I am also a bad driver mostly, so I pay someone else to bring me food, tip them more than well enough to afford Auras, and hope they are protecting themselves  -- I've tried giving masks away. No one wants free masks, about 50% of drivers do want free weed, such is life.There is also something to the idea that a kid (or adult) who is out of school (or work) with COVID, if they are truly out of public for the duration, barring household contact with other diseases, should be generally not capable of getting sick with something else until they have returned to interacting with society, so I would expect that to eat into that 33% to some extent?

Restaurant dining rooms opened with limited capacity in July, closed again late in the year Im not saying they had to be - im saying a lot of businesses just kept it up by choice. Like the place I last worked could have totally been back in office pretty by like May but we kept WFH full on until 2022. Just because it turned out hey people are happier and they get less sick!

Huh, some head honcho at Finland’s CDC equivalent said that people “can use masks” if they want to due to the current covid situation. Can’t remember speech like that earlier. Public boosters are lagging since public health is too clogged and can’t administer the boosters. I wish I could buy one from private healthcare. Anyways, I need to find out that vid where the guy sniffs his surgical nostalgically and dons a real gas mask afterwards. And never lose that video again.

It feels a bit icky to post this, but apparently Pfizer is doing a campaign to push for Paxlovid (and vaccines I suppose). Interesting because they are financially incentivized to find and promote information like where to find testing and where to find treatment, and might be decent about keeping information updated. So there are a couple of telehealth providers on their list I have not heard of before: https://www.knowplango.com/

Lmao, you guys, the senior assisted living place I work at has 29 cases - out of 75 residents. Nobody died in the last couple waves but a lot of the people who got it are doing noticeably worse than before. I'm extremely bummed to see elderly people who I like and care about decline much more quickly than they would have without covid. Edit: oh! And those are just the people who popped on a rapid - we haven't even started PCR testing yet!

I had to go inside a pharmacy yesterday to get a paper prescription filled so I had 20ish minutes to kill; so I walked around looking for covid test kits. I am not kidding, it took me 15 minutes to find them. Knee level, near the bp monitors.

You mention pfizer's incentive for people to test. https://www.lucirabypfizer.com/ has been updated finally, so it looks like lucira might be available again, but only the COVID & FLU version, which the HCP version is available but costs like 75 each in bulk, so I doubt the consumer one will be cheaper. Of course lucira tests were this expensive originally, so it's not a shock. But nobody is going to be buying these. Metrix will be half that cost asuming they stick around. Hell even cue is cheaper I think.
