HazCat posted:Hey Zerial, you made a very human choice and you don't need to defend it. Everyone here is making risk vs reward choices all the time (unless there are any PAPR-inside-the-home hermits who haven't posted about it yet). People are going to poke fun, though, at least partly because making fun helps them reaffirm to themselves that they won't let their guard down the way you did. good poo poo right here, thank you op

I’m not going to ask “which one of you is this?” because I think if that guy posted in the thread, he would link his own stuff to get more than two hundred views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EulWIFAEUHM But it does have thread energy.

Trixie Hardcore posted:I didn’t mean people are born as Nazis, I meant authoritarian vs non authoritarian thinking, like some peoples brains really do be like that. I am again recommending to anyone wanting to pick at the Qanon brain: There's an earlier work, too, that published research done right after the close of WW II: "The Authoritarian Personality", by Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levinson, and Sanford. It's much longer than Altemeyer's work, and it reflects the place that clinical psychology was in, in the late 1940s-early 50s. But if you're up for the page count, it's well worth reading. I ran into this while I was still a high school kid. Not quite by accident, since I made a point of learning the location of every decent bookstore in the entire city, and by the time I was halfway through grad school I'd plundered out almost every decent grad-level math text from every used bookstore in town. It's hard to find in paper format unless you're shopping at Powell's. But there are decent copies at libgen, to my certain knowledge.

Zeriel posted:You will be exposed over and over and over and over again until your dying breath. Your dying breath will contain covid particles. seriously get this loving covid fatalism out of here. there will be people who never get COVID and I intend to be one of them. Platystemon posted:I don’t care if someone visits their grandparents after weeks of isolation. it's just the same mentality that has fueled the uncontrolled spread and spiralling out of control since the beginning. other people can say they were okay to take that risk, and ultimately it's their choice to do whatever they want, but i'm not going to validate anyone in it or indulge their COVID fatalism, because that's just externalizing their responsibility. COVID fatalism is also an rear end in a top hat move, considering there are millions of people who, if they get COVID, will die. not to mention the permanent disability and irrevocable damage that will accompany millions more infections. and they're just waving that triumphantly in their face. loading... has issued a correction as of 11:27 on Apr 18, 2022 |

Trixie Hardcore posted:Don't bring this spiraling suicidal poo poo in here, log off or go to the mental health thread. This was put a bit aggressively, but the very nice exchange that continued in the following pages [I]could[I] be put in the mental health thread, imo. Especially HazCat's contribution was helpful. We don't all have the same fortitude in the face of adversity, and fatalism is a very likely phenomenon to express itself at some point during an observer's life, wether it rears its fugly head in the context of a pandemic, or otherwise, cause world's a gently caress. Note I used "observer", not "agent". Feelings of powerlessness can be mighty overwhelming, and it looks like we are gonna have to keep dealing with that particular challenge for the indefinite future, and probably more frequently even than we have had to already. Bog knows I certainly have times where my rationale breaks down, and I have a short-lived fatalist episode. Totally understand where the OP was coming from, even though my original reaction to their "bit" would've been vitriolic, if I had made the mistake of commenting on it. Anyway thanks awesome thread for the human content. drat it I did it again ! Please wear proper PPE when perusing my posts.

tangy yet delightful posted:Deaths lag. The only way 400K cases doesn't produce 4,000 deaths is if we've missed so many cases in every other nation on earth that the IFR is below 1%. Where does that come from? Ourworld in data gives something like 85% for China. Hong Kong had very low uptake among the elderly, but I'm not sure if that is true on the mainland?

Steve Yun posted:wow paxlovid sounds awesome If the persistent viral infection hypothesis for long COVID turns out to be true for some people, like maybe it was for this person, and Paxlovid helps clear the virus and relieve symptoms that's great. But there are not enough antivirals in the world to match the existing acute needs of the immunocompromised, let alone to treat long COVID sufferers, and never will be. It would suggest a lot of people will suffer even more unnecessarily from a condition that's in principle treatable. That's nothing new for most of the world of course. It also suggests there's a time element involved. If persistent low level infections are not a rare thing, and the virus can slowly replicate under the radar in non-regenerating tissues then long COVID sufferers really need a treatment ASAP. The longer that drags out the more cumulative damage and poorer outcomes.

Did anyone else notice that there is a new vaccination ad campaign this weekend, this time from the CDC, instead of your state and/or local governments? Again though it's all about how grandparents can hug their grandkids if they are vaccinated. Really? Why the gently caress are they back to focusing on that as the primary driver for vaccinations? I was sitting in my car before work watching the rain hit my window, and realized that I was filled with hope a year ago. The vax was in high demand, and it felt like maybe, just maybe we would find the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately in May the CDC had their mask burning party and things just went back to getting worse. Now here we are, COVID is definitely worse and no one cares, It just feels like there's nothing but doom on the horizon.

Every time we got things a little under control masks got burned. and right now we are clearly in another wave and there isn’t even a hint of talk about bringing them back, even as a suggestion.
