I thought the lines breaking up near the end was a commentary on how confusing the possible solution paths are.

That's normal, your body is mounting an immune response to the vaccine.

lol with 3-5 seconds of doors being opened. china welding doors shut had the right idea.

(this is a different one to the case of in-community transmission)

why do they assume the doors had to be open at the same time like the virus was a laser beam or something, it could have wafted out into the hallway and floated around in the air there for a few minutes before the other door opened and in floated in there

No that's peasant poo poo you get nothing.

But yes rich people immediately get in no questions asked. This is absolutely a thing and hospitals make it extremely clear when a VIP is there and they are to get front of the line for everything. Abbott would have 0 problem getting an icu bed, but it won't come to that anyway since he's getting top flight concierge treatment now and the best treatment is early intervention.

We should just have roaming gangs sneak into chud houses and jab them in their sleep.

since the US govt is too weak to order a lockdown, mandatory vaxxing and mandatory masking is the only way to get the pandemic anywhere near under control but we're refusing to do that too

I always think of that Dollop episode; I don’t remember which city had a lake that was so polluted that it just started on fire one day (I think I’m the 1800s) just as a reminder that things can always get worse in ways I’d never imagined.

It’s pretty comforting.

Yep. And as a result, we have a government full of people who have never had to make a truly difficult decision (do the right thing, even though it's gonna be massively unpopular with a huge part of the country) in their entire careers. Like, it's literally a thing that they've never had to contemplate doing. What we're seeing now is the effects of that, where loving nobody is willing to do what needs doing, because they're hoping that somebody else will jump on that grenade instead. Then, if it ends up becoming blindingly obvious (even in spite of America's built-in apathy) that they completely hosed it up, they're just gonna point fingers at somebody else (presumably unvaxxed folks), because that's always worked in the past.

it's not that the right thing is unpopular with a huge part of the country. today, the right things to beat the pandemic are very popular with the majority. vaccine mandates have majority support according to polls these days, and paying people to stay home in the form of trump/biden/bernie bucks were of course overwhelmingly popular. popularity with the majority of the population doesn't matter, they're worried about popularity among the 1% of people who do matter

is there any reason I should get the booster now at 5 months? any adverse effects reported from boosting too early?

as far as i know no, there are no clear adverse effects. now is fine imo, in fact i did it now because it takes a few weeks to spin up the best protection and the next month or so will likely be the peak of transmission until everyone panics and shuts down schools again

i don't know where the 8 month guideline the cdc came up with came from.
