It got closed because an rear end in a top hat anti-masker who for some reason has a mod star from some dusty subforum attacked someone who's been dealing with COVID deaths on a daily basis the last year for saying they aren't gonna OPEN BIDEN.

Someone should tell FB they're in the wrong thread because if anyone has an excuse to not open biden it's someone who has been wading through a sea of Covid bodies for the past year

the majority of children won't develop cyber-dementia for a good 20 years post-infection, so there's no problem. we'll still get prime labor years out of them, and then we can recycle them as they hit middle age.

I didn't get the memo that DeSantis says COVID is OVER and there are no more mandates ever.

quote:

Declaring Florida’s COVID-19 emergency over, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed an executive order invalidating all remaining local emergency COVID orders and signed a bill into law that bars businesses, schools and government entities across Florida from asking anyone to provide proof of a COVID-19 vaccination.

Do those deriding precautions post-vaccination not understand that a large fraction of the population lives with unvaccinated people (children, immunocompromised) or do they just not care? It doesn't seem to be a challenging idea. The anti-precaution position probably makes more sense if you've decided that children aren't really at risk of COVID so they're unvaccinated status doesn't matter. But that begs the question why pediatric vaccines are being developed at all.

they just dont care and they probably never cared. they get the vaccine and say they can eat in restaurants now but theyve been eating in restaurants and going to maskless gatherings and poo poo the whole.

i have way way more scorn for my LOL FAKE NEWS cousins who went to MIAMI repeatedly to own the libs last year than the people who are a bit more on the cautious side

i did go to a few restaurants last summer and even sitting outside i felt bad about it and decided do i really? want to eat out? this isnt cool. and just stopped going.

then i went to a bar in november and realized no, no i absolutely do not want to be here these people are SCREAMING their lungs out drunk and loud and this was a mistake

i desperately wanted human contact and was not being smart or prudent about it. i thought i was slowly going insane from isolation.

So my girlfriend has been sick for days. A test she took last week popped negative. She went to get a rapid test today, and they told her she doesn't qualify for a rapid test because she's had symptoms for so long? What the heck? She can just go somewhere else tomorrow but is that really a thing? I'm in bumfuck Michigan where I had to describe to my boss what a test is and why it's useful.

How does 10 cases per 100K at the county level sound? That's been my benchmark for the level at which most things are "Probably fine. Maybe." I don't remember where I heard that number, but we haven't seen it in a long drat time around me so it felt like a worthwhile goal.

I suppose that sounds reasonable. I just checked the daily stats thread on r/coronavirusWA and it looks like King County is at 15.8/100,000. For my area it's 18.5 at the city level.

Also keep in mind some vaccine-neutral people before the pause were choosing J&J over Moderna and Pfizer because they didn’t want the “side effects” of the second shot. Now they’d rather just wait for everyone else to get a vaccine because “they’ve made it this long without getting sick.”

The J&J pause was the worst thing to happen to the vaccine rollout since it began. Way worse than millions of spoiled batches.

No you see that rounding error incidence of blood clots was a massive red flag on the order of thalidomide and therefore it is mysogynist to suggest vaccines are safe and covid is now forever and I never have to leave my bunker again.

my county had multiple testing locations open for a decent part of the day, they're now down to one testing location open a total of like 4 hours a week, all during business hours.

a person i know got a test after having some covid like symptoms like two months ago and never got his results back and when he finally got ahold of someone to ask about it they just told him they didn't process any of the tests from that day, maybe they got lost?

e: also at the very beginning of this thing i heard arguments to the effect of "if you think you're sick don't get tested because if it isn't covid you just exposed yourself to a bunch of people who probably have it" and all the way through july i was hearing "nah don't bother getting tested we don't really have covid here" so i'm not sure testing was ever like a thing enough to really be helpful around here.
