jinx_player posted:“Oh my God, this feels great — I love it,” she said, explaining that she assumed that she and everyone around her was healthy. “I think people would not be out if they had been exposed to anyone with corona.” Check the date on that - May 2020. There never were any "lockdowns" in this dumbass country after the first 6-7 weeks after the Rose Garden event and hooting about lockdowns has been a two year long gaslighting campaign.

Zugzwang posted:Isn’t “constantly switch messaging back and forth” something straight out of a “how to destroy people’s trust in the rulers’ legitimacy” playbook? There is a project our leadership, of both parties, are in on right now to dismantle the administrative state and return us to the 1900 status quo. A part of that project is to delegitimize all aspects of the federal state. That we've got Republican senators openly saying that the federal government shouldn't be involved in stuff like legalizing interracial marriage is no accident.

Actually that probably accounts for some of the staring we get now that I think about it. Oregon is pretty huwhite.

I think it's probably impossible to assign a single motive to the US' COVID response. There's a lot of actors involved, and many of them are themselves conflicted and have had their motives change at various points. Deliberate malice born of eugenic desires, inaction born out of a desire to prop up the US' house of cards and hide how decrepit and impotent our federal government has become, inaction born out of a desire to serve capital, genuine idiocy and a failure to grasp how bad things genuinely are, and more are all factors. But like, eh, personally I don't think any one reason can be ascribed to the entirety of the people involved with the failure. Like the people chugging horse paste and poo poo; they're not acting out of eugenic desire; they're clearly just profoundly stupid. And yeah, there's a lot that the US government is doing wrong (literally everything it is able to) but even with everything the US government is doing wrong, if the majority of Americans wore masks - even surgical ones (although not so much anymore) - consistently then the situation would be quite different from what it is. The government may be forcing people to go to work, but only very recently did it de facto ban workers from wearing masks, and at no point has it been able to mandate people go to Applebees, inasmuch as it wanted. Idiocy and evil alike are necessary factors for how and why we are where we are.

Aggressive retrenchment of social services goes hand in hand with "culling the weak" so to speak, you don't need anyone in charge with explicitly eugenic motives now -- it's been baked into all the policymaking priors already.

Q: Malice or stupidity? A: Both Although someone made the point that it’s impossible to distinguish, since both result in the same behavior, which makes sense

Malicious neglect I don't think is sufficient for what we are seeing and have seen. Like at certain points it has to be either deliberate murderous animus and/or complete idiocy. Stuff like deliberately revoking masking mandates after having already implemented them, or telling people early on NOT to wear masks - malicious negligence is not a sufficient explanation. Either someone extremely stupid was giving terrible advice they believed to be worthwhile - because they are an idiot, or else someone was deliberately and actively trying to cause people to die.

You might say the costs of not doing pandemic mitigation are higher in aggregate but it's also very much about who gets to eat the costs and bear the risks of failure and the people in charge didn't want to for obvious reasons. "Societal cost" isn't a legible or actionable "thing" to the FYGMers in charge too

I do believe that the biden admin has very deliberately calculated that covid must be over in the minds of the people in order for them to stand a chance at midterms. The changing cdc guidelines, removal of funds for testing etc, and messaging are not the result of stupidity imo. Because they are obsessed with optics, it's more important to them to convey that covid is over but not to actually do the things that would make it be really over, or at the very least under control.

New valveless EHMR was approved, the ElastoMaskPro. NIOSH approval number is 9388 The only filter option is N95, though.  The straps don’t look comfortable, but they’re supposedly durable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnVOpp5nxHw Mesmerizing.

I can't imagine what it's like for parents going through all this. I worry myself sick about my niece and nephew as it is.I'm gonna echo lifting weights. I'm only 32 but my family has just the worst bone and joint health and some fun cardiac issues to boot. My pain and mobility are much improved with even light strength training and daily walks. Also breathing exercises! Great for stress and lowering rhr, big thanks to the goon who recommended them in the last thread.

a coworker of mine who had COVID in November, then again in December, then in January said she thinks she's immune since she got COVID in November having forgotten about reinfection in December, just criticized me for a sentence in a presentation being too confusing The sentence in question is a single clause that is perfectly clear that she wrote.
