Differentiating between good and bad bagels is the stupidest thing. Literally arguing over which slice of bread is the best. Or which variant is more fun.

poo poo like this is why the CDC's mask-off bullshit was extra loving dumb. Mask use (or not) is heavily influenced by social pressure. A few of us so aggressively don't give a gently caress about what other people think that we're fine walking around in elastomeric respirators, but a lot of folks just go with whatever everybody else is doing so that they don't stand out.

I ventured out to Costco this weekend and it absolutely blows my mind how people don't just give in to the social normalcy of wearing masks. The store was around 90-95% masked. I just wanted to go up to the people who weren't masking and be like.... hey....Don't you just feel like....stupid? Like have you noticed a trend with the people around you? If everyone around you was screaming "Oh poo poo, the building is burning down!" and running for the exit, would you like...take the hint that maybe you should follow?

Then there was the lady with 6 kids waiting by the food court, none of them masked (including herself.) First time in this entire pandemic that I thought "Oh poo poo, it's a super spreader event. I have to get out of here."

Did anything come from the "good news" from way back this morning that maybe the vaccine is actually effective at preventing delta, it's just that all those dang unvaccinated kids are screwing up the metrics by dying?

Is it a case of we literally don't understand how the mRNA vaccine works enough to say what exact effects it might have on kids, or is it just that safety dictates that we test it a bunch to confirm the science that says it's safe?

I think I want to start using a respirator, but I don't want to trust this decision to Google.

I want to trust it to goons.

Are respirators better for preventing getting coronavirus? What are the qualities I need to look for when choosing a respirator. Is it even possible to buy an effective one now or have all the smart people already got what was available?

Just put your hand over your mouth when you breath. Jesus Christ, it's not that hard.

It's not. It's because there is a delay in reporting of the most recent days. For the past three weeks it's appeared every single day that the past 2-3 days are showing a decrease in cases.

Correct.
