In my mahogany study, pipe clenched between my teeth, tobacco smoke billowing at a furious rate, wearing a stick of chalk to a nub against a full wall blackboard, drawing lines between equations and obscure notations, trying to find an exit strategy, any exit strategy, for wearing a mask in public and washing my hands more frequently

I don't have an exit strategy because I don't consider wearing a mask or not going to restaurants to be such an insane hardship that I need one. I'll stop wearing a mask when COVID isn't everywhere, and if that doesn't happen then I won't stop wearing a mask.

I think a lot of the liberal commentariat realize in the back of their mind that "normal" is going to become an exceedingly scarce resource this decade. Most of their desire to return to normal stems from trying to placate this cognitive dissonance by forcing normalcy where it no longer exists. It's really sad and they clearly have a lot of uninvestigated trauma, I hope they seek therapy.

I don't see why sympotmatic vaccine breakthrough cases wouldn't be infectious to others? Given the existence of asymptomatic spread it may be higher but that seems like a good baseline, which is like 3-4% based on this study: https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/outbreak-after-a-vaccination-campaign So significant reduction but not zero seems like a reasonable assumption till proven wrong imo

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I am never going back to eating out constantly and spending my Saturdays staring at cheap trash at IKEA. I am happier and healthier now with that poo poo cut out of my life. I legitimately miss going to Ikea, it's the most domestic theme park. Look at tiny rooms, lay on the beds, get free coffee, play with kitchen utensils, touch all the rugs, and finish with a hot dog and pizza.

Thoguh posted:I thought this reply was a good summation of how I feel about it. If I'm wrong to not wanting to go to Applebee's there is no impact. If Nate rushes to Applebee's and he's wrong then there is an impact, possibly a very negative one. at the core of Nate's thinking is that single libertarian guy who doesn't have kids, a spouse, or elderly parents that could suffer as a result of his behavior
