Texas has been one of the more embarrassing disasters in the US. Our govt and lots of the people around the state were never enthusiastic supporters of caring for your fellow man and as soon as the vaccine came out almost everyone went back to normal even though we're only at like a 50% vaccination rate. Mask use at the store is maybe 10%. Ive been lucky enough to wfh on a bit of land so we didnt have to go out much, and i took care of most of that. Recently we've started going to a small event or two but we're each triple vaccinated, the kids are vaccinated, and my mother in law across the street is vaccinated. Texas schools reopened, and i totally get where our failing society needs that child care function, but opened with a patchwork of different implementations and in my area the superintendent has gleefully reported how he will be ignoring county regulations. No option to do hybrid or online school for non vaccinated youth. Thankfully, there haven't been huge outbreaks around here and so we've weathered the actual storm fairly well, but most of the state lost its mind in the process.

abelwingnut posted:speaking of tx, i was in el paso from mid-august to mid-september. i felt safer there than i did in nyc or dc. nearly everyone in a public setting was wearing a mask. distancing was whatever, but it's whatever/non-existent everywhere. last i checked the vaccine rates there were a good deal above average too. That's a fair point. El Paso has been a stand-out success. Consequently our state government has pretended they don't exist and can teach us nothing.

Mr. Pardiggle posted:Not a child haver but that doesn’t surprise me much. I know people are generally more risk adverse for their kids than themselves so unless they’re forced to by school districts or something, I don’t see it happening as much as adults. I’d also imagine chud parents would be even more rabid when it involves their kids. I am risk adverse towards my children thats why my 11 yr old was vaccinated before schools reopened.

PT6A posted:There's this weird psychological gap between "if I choose to vaccinate my child, and something goes wrong it's my fault" and "if I don't vaccinate my child, and they get COVID and get a side-effect or a serious case, then it's God's will" or whatever. I don't fully get it, but it's definitely a very common hazardous attitude. People tend to forget the other half of that thought... 'if i do vaccinate my child it is God's will'... it's all the Tao and there's no justification in any of it.

Fritz the Horse posted:We must learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment. Look that's great and all and I agree in part but don't go acting like you get outside of yourself. Transcend this reality and all you will find are the folds of your unexpectedly developed equine prefrontal cortex and the close confines of your skull.

enki42 posted:The one thing I would say with the CDC list is that there's no advantage to gaming the immunocompromised category, since that's more about vaccines not being initially effective than waning. If you have a functioning immune system (or extremely mild acquired immunosuppression like you took prednisone for like a week recently) there's no advantage to getting a third shot 28 days after your second. I was 6 months out and the boosters weren't approved yet so...

Fritz the Horse posted:Counterpoint: I find "we must destroy the concepts of religion, the soul, individuality, and free will so that we may become an ant colony" darkly amusing. What if they need to be decimated but not wholly annihilated for their own inherent evils and not with any specific intent on becoming an ant colony? Many of the evils in the world come from fetishizing those things rather than viewing them as useful fictions.

Plenty of variants have only shown up regionally and quickly died out before spreading to other areas. How exactly did I understand better than the CDC how things were going to progress? Like, if you are right it's a pretty horrific condemnation of the CDC because i'm an untrained idiot and it was clear as day what would happen.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:What is the point of talking about Mareks except “vaccine bad”? It’s the only reason to bring it up. I don't know for sure of course but my understanding was this was said in reference to a major outbreak and death among the unvaccinated, which would relate to: quote:Acute Marek's disease is an epidemic in a previously uninfected or unvaccinated flock, causing depression, paralysis, and death in a large number of birds (up to 80%). The age of onset is much earlier than the classic form; birds are four to eight weeks old when affected. Infiltration into multiple organs/tissue is observed.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Marek's is a particular herpes virus that effects chickens nerves. For a long time it caused minor paralysis and was fairly rarely fatal. In the 1970s a vaccine was developed. At some point in the 80s and 90s a much more dangerous strain came along that infects other tissues and is often fatal. But the vaccine continued to work against the new strains. Moving it from an optional vaccination to a required one. It just didn't track like the course of the disease was the point of referring to it. I get using that as a heuristic but i think you got a false positive here.

Having been around most of the 50 states it is wholly accurate to say that *white* america is a single culture of reckless assholes. I haven't been to Asia so I can't comment on the rest.

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:The bottom line is that early data is promising and does not show cause for alarm. The proper course of action for most people is to get their boosters and continue resuming their normal lives like they have been. Our normal lives are what led to the conditions we've found ourselves in this last year and a half or so. It might be that learning nothing from this experience and demanding an enforced normalcy is a mistake.
