Toggling the option at the top to give a bigger time window seems to give figures that make more sense:


This includes December-Jan when people's third shot (received Sept-Nov) was still providing significant protection against symptomatic infection. And keep in mind that the public health department can (and does) control for demographic confounding variables like age but not behavioral confounding variables like number of indoor dinners attended in the dashboard, so the boosted brunch liberals continuing to act like they can't get covid as the new surge ramps up and their boosters wane to insignificant VE against infection means they're placing themselves at greater and greater risk of becoming a case with each passing week.

e: if i had to guess at the biggest source of vaccinated vs boosted confounding error in the case rates, it's that the 2-dose-vaccinated-but-not-boosted people are poor compared both to boosted people and to unvaccinated people (and you can see that they're certainly concentrated heavily in the poorest parts of the county) and have less access to the lab tests that drive the case rate data. Fewer tests = fewer cases. That trend is erased when you look at hospitalizations and deaths because those are driven off of the actual hospitals' data since poor people still end up in the ER and get counted that way.

All those poor people in the lower decks were going to live short lives anyway. Their drownings are just deaths pulled from the future. And there will be far fewer deaths during the next shipwreck because all the vulnerable people will already be dead, so no need to change anything.

my neighbor was supposed to have his bathroom redone starting today but the maintenance guy popped positive over the weekend

the apartment manager asked if it was ok to have him still do the job if he wore a mask

(the maintenance guy is also in his late fifties and not in great health overall so I really feel for the dude :ohdear: )

oh oh, sorry, i meant like: supposing my air source gets "dirtied" by being required to break the seal (such as to show my face to security), is it possible to "clear out" the air inside of it and only breathe in filtered air by holding my breath the entire time the seal is broken, re-establishing the seal, exhaling entirely, and then take another breath?

Pennsylvania enjoys a 15% Dem advantage and we're going to get abortion bans unilaterally forced on us because of gerrymandering.

Oh my bad, I accidentally switched two words and somehow missed the entire second sentence, very good. I'd also like to know if what you're asking for is possible, but it kind of doesn't feel like you can know for sure? Like if you imagine sealing in smoke instead of clear air and trying to do that, it's hard not to imagine particles remaining.

yeah but once the gop takes over in 2025 they’ll probably try to ban it in every state

They’ll probably try to do so performatively anyway once they win the midterms, much like they voted a zillion times to overturn the ACA when Obama was prez

Abortion becoming immediately illegal in half the states would gently caress over millions of people who can't just go to California.

Declaring Roe invalid also opens up the legal channels to go all the way on banning everything that was based around 'right to privacy.' Anti birth control, sodomy laws and everything else are all freed up.

I loved being born in TN and spending my young teen years in terror because when I was raped I knew that if I had gotten pregnant getting an abortion was already going to be a nightmare but lol i would have just loving killed myself if it hadnt been an option at all.

But hey, D&D can just have all those young women in states with no abortion rights just go live with them in california I guess?

Oh yeah, I know. I'm just saying abortions are easier to get now in America than at any point or place in human history, quite probably. All you need to do is breathe.
