But we are back to normal, take off the masks and open biden! Hopefully you nerds that keep wearing masks get bullied for being so socioparhic.

Going to be super annoyed if a vaccine escape strain emerges this fall right when pediatric vaccines get EUA'd. Why aren't they trialing updated vaccines instead of ones based on the wild type virus that probably doesn't exist anymore.

I think it's to limit the variables involved and that if the boosters they are trialing for adults work that updating the shot for kids will go quick.

Notorious R.I.M. posted:We're about to enter a new era in the adaptive fitness of SARS-CoV-2. Soon we'll have everything open with vaccinated and unvaccinated people alike drooling on each other. Each interaction is an opportunity for an infected, unvaccinated idiot to spit out a virion with the right mutations to infect a vaccinated person. It's these interactions that breed opportunities for better escape variants, and by opening 'er up completely with a half-vaxxed population, we're upping the count of these opportunities by orders of magnitude.

Epic High Five posted:Dont worry about the expiration thing, at least beyond the baseline level of expired stuff being used. Most places have been open for takeout and any place that DID have to close down for long enough for stock to go off would've been cleaned out with breathtaking comprehensiveness by the staff, probably in under 10 minutes Yeah we have absolutely no reason to not DUMP THAT poo poo the moment it expires. We only have so much room to hold food anyway and the prep cooks are constantly prepping, so it naturally gets rotated out anyway.

I was expecting Friday to feel like a real turning point, with folks excited to get out in the sunshine and see one another’s faces for the first time in over a year. Instead, it seems like approximately 80% of folks are still wearing masks outside, even when distant from others. If you’re one of those people, I’m interested to know why you’re still choosing to be masked outside. I’m super confused and would love to know why my expectations have fallen so far from reality. “Data” is taken from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday spent walking and biking around Somerville, Cambridge, and Boston. Edit: The amount of downvoting going on here in response to an effort to peacefully dialogue with others who have different opinions than me is a really great indicator of how closed off so many of you are to civil discussion. Edit x2: Are discussion posts on Reddit supposed to be upvoted if you agree with the implied opinion of the poster, or if you think it's a worthwhile discussion to have? 122 comments with this low of an overall score is interesting. Edit x3: My views on the matter, since it has come up: - I am in no way altogether "anti-mask" or a covid denier. The fact that being critical of continued outdoor mask wearing is equated to that is pretty upsetting. I know that's hard to understand for some in our Eastern MA progressive echo chamber. - I have a problem with continued outdoor mask wearing, despite it not harming me or anyone else on an individual, case-by-case basis, because I am upset with what it signifies and manifests on a larger scale. I value emotional resiliency and encourage the overcoming of fear and anxiety when said fear and anxiety is known to be irrational. I also value "ending" this pandemic. As such, I think that it's important that people do what they can to go back to normal, where and when it is appropriate and carries no risk. - I put "ending" in quotation marks because the reality is that we will probably be living with Covid for a long time. It will - and already has started to - become something that we just accept, understand carries a certain amount of risk (especially to certain populations), and move on with our lives. Like driving in cars, doing certain drugs, or participating in adventure sports. Deaths and complications will likely continue to drop, and our treatments and preventative measures will get better. So I think arguments about it "still being bad" are moot and seem to be shooting for some undefined and implausible future state. - Mask wearing to this degree is absolutely an anomaly, specific to this part of the country. Yes, I've travelled in the last 14 months, and no, not just to places like Florida. People elsewhere are more tolerant of those who don't enjoy being told what to do by higher authorities, without just chalking it up to them being "crazy conservatives." They also employ more common sense around risk. I am proud of many things about living in MA but the absolute judgey, puritanical, holier-than-thou attitude many people have taken during this pandemic is disgusting. I'm glad we have such low vaccine hesitancy. I am not glad that people seem to insist on engaging in pointless safety theater precautions and judge those who don't. - I believe in science. If all of the top infectious disease specialists and public health experts agree that outdoor transmission is a negligible risk, then I think we should act like it. - I think that many people so religiously engage in mask wearing and distancing, to the point of masking while totally alone or deciding that even 30ft of distance from an unmasked person is dangerous, because of a basic "good boy/girl" psychology which makes them (unconsciously) want to feel patted on the back by the State and told that they're doing everything right. - I supported Bernie in both of the last two presidential elections, support reparations, think Joe Curtatone sucks, am queer, and am watching the progressive left which I used to identify with implode on itself and lose all credibility due to an insistence on identity politics, cancel culture, and feelings>facts. Don't tell me what my politics are. - To those making the point that masks are required when passing by others because they come within 6ft: I interpret the measure to mean that extended periods of time within 6ft require masks. But not passing moments. Doctors and public health experts have made clear that those passing unmasked moments carry “negligible” risk. I assume that local government and the CDC are giving us the benefit of the doubt in believing that we wouldn’t assume there’s risk there, either, and so don’t spell out in the measure word for word “it’s okay to be unmasked if within 6ft for 2 seconds.”
