a third of all children that died of covid in the states have died in the past 2 monthsquote:“We saw a massive surge of hospitalized young children during Omicron that we didn’t see in the earlier months of the pandemic,” said Jason Kane, a pediatric intensivist and associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Chicago Comer children’s hospital. we have about 2-3 weeks before the BA.2 spike hits in the states (currently cases are ~20% and doubling every week) so if there's anything you need to do outdoors you need to do it soon. USA lags the rest of the world by about a month, so if you want to see what it's going to look like you just need to look overseas  unvaxxed are hosed, previous infections provide no protection after ~3 months, other variants provide no protection at all, vaccinations have ~93% chance of keeping you out of hospital according to studies out of denmark & finland but you're still going to catch it as it's insanely infectious and you've got a 1 in 3 chance of developing long covid once you do. it's a mass disabling event more on the order of polio, not the flu i personally think the coming months are going to be the worst it's ever been, once it starts hitting the news at least all those back to the office plans are gonna get canned just like last year Bhodi fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Mar 15, 2022 |

Gone in twice. View from my desk is still nice but I hate open offices now after years of birds chirping and ambient city sound. Downtown Brooklyn from 1 WTC in the 80s-90s. The memorial is directly below me so that’s something I try not to think about.  also midtown to make up for that terrible photo

BC opened 'er back up and cases are still the lowest they've been since before delta probably helps that kids are getting dosed up instead of just letting this poo poo run wild on anyone under 12

I’ve been face to face (masked) with someone who called me two mins later to tell me the RAT test she bought off me showed she’s positive. i’ve been working at multiple pharmacies including a mall pharmacy and a pharmacy next to a emergency centre.

Sure but what if it feels more righteous to pretend that's not true? Ever think of that, smart guy? Checkmate.

I also think the back-to-the-office plans are here to stay because the feds and the state governments, of all political stripes, are deliberately dismantling all testing capacity and there'll be no way for us to know other than random people you know getting sick for a week or two at a time. Sleepy Joe has made it clear that covid is over now, and it's never coming back unless bodies start piling up in the streets like cordwood.

psiox posted:what, was the salary reduction connected? yeah, i moved from "premium plus" location (basically bay area + nyc) to "premium" (the rest of california, not sure what else). part of moving to the "remote california" office was the pay cut. if i has stayed in the bay and gone remote i would've transferred to a bay-area-specific remote office code and not have been hit with a pay cut. it's lame but the alternative is to either not move or quit so... originally it was pitched as a reduction in salary only, but then later they changed it to a salary reduction and also a 5% equity reduction. the latter isn't taken away directly but rather from future projections. i'm pretty pissed about the bait and switch on that, but again...my choices are not-move and quit

Pollyanna posted:oh lol it's equity too? and that's on top of either a 5%~10% tc paycut? naw, it was 10% salary (not tc) and then later the 5% equity thing got added. over half my tc is equity these days though ofc bonus is based on salary soooo idk if the 5% thing applies to me cause when i signed my letter it didn't exist, but since there are no guarantees for equity modeling i have a really hard time believing i won't be affected by it

I got a message from IT at 10am asking if it was okay to shut off my PC at the office and I told them "uhh no I need that to work? all my VMs are on there" apparently as of friday afternoon they're permanently shutting down all the remaining desktops at the office so I've spent the day moving poo poo over to this horrible awful piece of poo poo dell laptop they sent me that I never bothered setting up. it has the worst keyboard I've ever used. absolute garbage
