Followup question: how did the 1918 pandemic end without a vaccine? Did it just get bad enough it scythed through the population not willing to take precautions until it burned itself out?

it mutated and became less virulent and became the dominant seasonal influenza A strain for the next few decades. lot of natural immunity from asymptomatic infections and surviving it too



the first influenza vaccines were developed during WWII. when the vaccine totally stopped working in 1947 it was discovered that influenza vaccines needed to be updated periodically

the 1957 H2N2 flu pandemic dislodged H1N1 and became the dominant influenza A

the 1968 H3N2 flu pandemic dislodged H2N2 and became the dominant influenza A

then the chinese or maybe the russians defrosted some classic flu from the '50s and set off H1N1 again

probably because they got spooked by the emergence of H1N1 swine flu in the U.S. in 1976 and started researching H1N1 lol

btw pigs probably had H1N1 because we gave it to them back in the 1910's

My new pup is actively choosing to pee inside on my wood floors instead of outside. I'll have him out for 20 minutes and nothing; then as soon as we're in he'll skirt over to the dining room and reenact the Piss Tape.

1. Put training pads on the wooden area where they like to pee
2. Put another training pad outside
3. Walk them out to the training pad at least every hour
4. Give them a treat when they go outside but not inside

Washington Department of Health is ... posting on medium??
https://medium.com/wadepthealth/covid-19-cases-are-increasing-again-in-washington-bf6dd1abd7a2

quote:


So how did we get here? Even with millions getting vaccinated?
There are five variants of concern spreading in Washington state. During the latest sequencing and variant report, we discovered a 35% increase in variants from the week before.
Experts believe these variants are causing more severe infections — raising hospitalization rates and ultimately, deaths. Over 600 hospitalizations were reported in the past week by state hospitals — the most we’ve seen in months.
Although people of all ages are vulnerable to COVID-19, the most recent wave seems to be impacting younger people more than others. People under the age of 50 currently make up half of Washington’s hospitalizations.
The virus continues to spread as more people let their guard down by not wearing masks, keeping physical distance, etc. Even if you are fully vaccinated, there are still guidelines to follow. We all need to do our part to slow the spread.
Demand for the vaccine is slowing, even though eligibility has expanded. The vaccine is our best shot to end the pandemic, and it’s effective against many variant strains.

Side effects are not guaranteed to happen and vary in severity. Don't psych yourself up to be deathly ill, but be prepared.

OK so what's the end game here? If we aren't going to pay people to take the vaccine and we aren't going to meaningfully force people to take it, then what happens? Do we just wait for some super mutant strain to tear through anyone not vaccinated until they're either dead or scared straight into taking it?

Followup question: how did the 1918 pandemic end without a vaccine? Did it just get bad enough it scythed through the population not willing to take precautions until it burned itself out?

Yes and yes.
