Failed Imagineer posted:Scary stuff. I'm assuming the disproportionate effect on BAME children just mirrors the disproportionate prevalence of COVID overall in the BAME community, though it's not implausible there's a causative link to something with a racial propensity like presence of sickle cell allele or something. I have an inkling that the reason BAME people have worse outcomes on Racism Island isn't because of their genetics

goddamnedtwisto posted:While obviously there are a lot of social and economic reasons why BAME people have worse health outcomes in general, covid is hitting people from these communities far worse than e.g. flu, and a couple of genetic factors have already been identified that seem to change your risk of severe disease once infected. sounds like race science to me m8

Dakha posted:It doesn’t seem an outright unreasonable question to me. Once the vulnerable people are protected from covid isn’t it time to reassess whether the impact of lockdown (mental health, economic, education, etc) outweigh the impact of covid on the less vulnerable people? More infections means more mutations, its extremely, extremely dangerous to be playing with a plague like that. E I do agree that some posters are too cautious and basically sunk cost fallacy is making people want to justify locking down forever, but the other side is a lot of magical thinking where we can just take this on the chin. Which is a complete misunderstanding of plagues and how they work. Our current global strategy basically requires that we do not just open things back up coz that means new variants and that means the vaccine may go out the window or we end up with covid 22 making covid 19 look like a cold. (viruses in general should evolve to be less lethal but that does not mean they can't do the opposite and we roll the dice several billion times each time there's a new host) Communist Thoughts fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Jakabite posted:Given that we are not getting to a point when COVID is eliminated entirely any time soon, when do perma-lockdown goons want to start looking at opening up? Like honestly quite a few of you seem to be perfectly happy and find ridiculous the idea that anyone might at some point in the near future want to resume something like normal life. And yes, sorry to say it, but the vast majority of people including me understand that opening up will mean some deaths that wouldn’t happen if we stayed in lockdown until next year. To the vast majority that’s a price worth paying. I’m not saying open up now obviously, but there comes a point when you have to and the fact that that means that some people will die is just the nature of viruses. Maybe I'm misreading but are you saying you'd rather people die needlessly than lockdown til May as part of a zero covid thing?

I do think the idea of vaccinating the over 65s then letting the virus loose resulting in a "manageable" death toll that nobody notices is just magical thinking and basically ignores what the virus is or what a plague is. Any death toll is manageable for the government, if that's not what you mean then it's less so. It seems like we've been having this argument on loop since this began though, people are very impatient and hoping they can shortcut through this but it is just wishful thinking. I do think it's likely we get what they want though and just declare covid over and attempt to open up again, I just highly doubt that results in what they expect

Jakabite posted:What I'm against, and what I feel a lot of the thread is arguing for, is locking down pretty much without end in the name of zero-COVID permanently. I don't disagree with everything you're saying but this seems to be the crux of the argument and is a strawman you've constructed. Nobody wants lockdown forever they just don't want to open up in a stupid fashion. You seem to be saying "well that's what we're getting" which is 100% true but isn't what people are taking issue with. Certainly I don't have a plan. My only hope is either the vaccine works, there's no resistant or worse strains and things resolve that way, or that the government is eventually forced into a zero covid strategy. But saying that means me or people like me want to be lockdowned forever is just stupid and it's offensive cause the reason we don't want things opened up right now is because we want this poo poo to end.

Jakabite posted:Maybe I've gotten a little carried away defending my point here. I do fully support Zero Covid as a strategy and fair play to the people working on that campaign. I've actually done a bit of copy writing for it myself. I think it just gets my goat to see some goons absolutely demonise people who, without any ill will in the world, are hopeful that the vaccine might allow them to get back to their lives. Hell, most people won't even have heard of a zero Covid strategy. Wondering if you might be able to go on holiday or to the pub this year doesn't make you some awful selfish elite bastard who doesn't care about other people. I think that's what got to me. Apologies to any goons who are susceptible, I didn't mean to imply you're disposable. The thing I'm aware of is that if the vaccine does sort everything out and we can all go back to normal despite the gov cockups the covid doomers like me are gonna have to make sure we're not just sunk costing ourselves into resisting it. I very consciously have set up a switch in my head that I will flick when things go back to normal and return to socialising as if nothing happened. But right now it's hard to tell which way things will go and so far betting on the government being unable to do anything but make things worse has paid off. I've heard the vaccine stuff is going well but I'm skeptical how it will all turn out. gently caress I'm ready to go back to normal though. I want to drink a pint and go to a resteraunt and go into the city to buy something I could just buy online instead.

The lab right are gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel left with worse candidates than kieth and were left with worse candidates than RLB. Also we lost twice in a row so Keith gets another go after losing in 2024
