As a proud San Diegan, I can't really argue with this logic. It's too complicated.

back when this all first started i read a poo poo ton of papers about hand sanitizer. one that stuck out to me was a setup in an elementary school where they had kids use it upon exiting and entering the classroom every time.

it resulted in a kind of shocking reduction in student and staff absences. might want to try that too tbqh.

yeah, I'm not convinced it helps with 'rona or flu as much as masks, but the assorted noroviruses are just as worth getting rid of as respiratory viruses.

I’ve been making my own artisanal graphs, and I can tell you that San Diego county has a case rate worse than last summer, and are back up to early February numbers of new cases.

Better yet, San Diego county stopped publishing numbers except on Wednesday. Ugh… fucks up my prediction models.

But cases have gone up but deaths and hospitalizations went up and back down and have stayed down. It’s different because the vaccines are working.

I hate to be a bummer but things have gotten better


mediaphage posted:

there are not going to be an extra six million deaths between now and christmas

My amateur models are pointing towards it being about as bad as last year... but we only have four weeks of spiking cases to work with. Deaths in my county seem to lag over a month as far as correlating increases go. Hospitalizations are beginning to rise too.

So yeah... I'm not going to be as doomer as to guess millions, but I think another 400-500k is within reason at the moment.

My models are amateur hour though, and are only reasonably predictive a week or two into the future.

Whenever I see criticism of the concept of health care rationing meaning you have to wait, I think about how I waited for 4 months for a non-emergent procedure and still got stuck with a $4k bill.
Hell, just getting a new Psych meds scrip requires at least 2 week lead-time.
Pediatric cardiology has like a month waitlist minimum to get a non-emergency EKG done.

the way it should work is that the hospital and clinic and pharma manufacturer should each be owned by the public and be entirely funded via taxes

But then who will do research and hire good doctors when CEOs of non-profit corporations are no longer able to take home 8 figure salaries?

Build more housing and also disincentivize landlording, you can fix a problem with multiple approaches.

I can spend all day long browsing houses for rent in my lovely chain link fence neighborhood for $1800+ a month and pulling up property records to show some LLC bought the house out of a non-public estate auction or whatever for $80K.

When I first rented in this neighborhood I had a 1BR for $325, back in 2004 or so. There's nothing in my entire neighborhood now for less than $1000.

Yeah, it seems like a vacancy tax would be a good start. Pumping property tax on non-primary residences should be another fairly "easy" step.

But it needs to come with some strong laws about maintenance/tenant rights or you just encourage slums as landlords to "recoup their investment" by neglecting repairs.

Also, decoupling school funding and property taxes might help even things out a little more at the local level, too... but that's a different property tax/classism/segregation problem. (Maybe outlaw charitable foundations from providing direct aid to individual public schools? I dunno, it's obvious to me that these entities are just a way to get around funding the poor-neighborhood schools more.)
