Jesus that Twitter feed is like horror porn, just awful to contemplate how an already bad education system can fail both students and educators even more.

Anne Whateley posted:Tbh I would not even bother isolating within a small/regular house. If one of you truly can't get it, I would try to get out of the home however you can. Failing that, I would just accept you're all in it together, you're all quarantining together and taking care of each other. But the school district insists my younger (negative, no symptoms, vax'd) son come back today, for some reason, as if omicron didn't change the game. And I figure staggering the adults' illnesses, if possible, is smarter than the alternative. A friend managed to stay uninfected last month while his wife had it, but that was presumably delta, and he was freshly boosted. So who knows. It's a poo poo situation and I wager I'll pop a positive result tomorrow or over the weekend but we'll see.

So the pandemic is definitely over in the UK now that new cases have stabilised at... about 100k/day, or about 4 times what they were at the beginning of winter, and comfortably above the very worst day of the Alpha surge last winter.  We've hit 4M cases - a quarter of all the confirmed cases in two years - since the beginning of December, and 100k/day, if sustained, will see us hit 20M cases (out of a population of 60M) by early March. The weirdest thing is that this plateau is both consistent across the country and strangely seems to have hit all parts of the country more or less simultaneously 2 weeks ago. Genuinely I'm baffled by the apparent consistency. I'd have at least expected to see smaller /remoter regions sustaining their peak a little longer than the larger, denser ones as it worked its way through spreaders, but no, middle of January it's like someone just hit the paste on all the graphs. Everyone's apparently too angry about cakes to actually look into it though. My only guess is that kids going back to school, people going back to work, and general slackening of what few NPIs we have, have coincidentally conspired to keep the rate more or less constant. In lighter news - number of patients on ventilators took a sharp downturn in early Jan (having been on a slow downslope since November) and this also seems to be sustained - we now have less patients on ventilation than we have had since last July. Admissions and patients in hospital (with, not from) are also trending down nicely, both around 20% in two weeks although still considerably higher than at the beginning of December.

Had a coworker test positive live and on air in a Zoom meeting yesterday. He's only vaccinated because of the company mandate, so I'm sure he's been taking zero precautions. He starts a new job in a week, pretty sure he's not planning on telling them.

Where did this notion that we're not going to get covid come from? Like "flatten the curve" doesn't mean "no more cases" it just means we'll get covid eventually.

Because up until about delta, there was the real possibility that vaccine coverage could permanently suppress outbreaks so that it wasn't at all guaranteed you'd get it. Just like, for example, how I never got chicken pox as a kid. Delta mostly dispelled that chance, though, and whatever hope was left afterwards omicron soundly crushed.

the funniest thing to me is that the spotify app (on android at least) is completely horrible. It forgets where you paused and you have to force close the app and reopen it. It's hard to find your podcasts. It's hard to queue up another episode of a podcast. I understand most people use it for music, but I use amazon prime or pandora for that. The biggest hit was when I agreed to pay for their premium service and it turns out that only removes ads from the music, not the podcasts. lol gently caress you spotify and eat my rear end. Once Last Podcast On The Left leaves in February I'm uninstalling it and never looking back.

I think one of the most depressing things to read during the pandemic are all the "Whoopsie I went out and did a dumb thing and I might have caught covid from it" posts where they don't give even a moment of thought for all the people they might in turn infect so they could see the 10th Spiderman movie this decade.

Wendigee posted:Earl grey smells like fruity pebbles because they are both flavored with bergamot... Which is a citrus fruit It all specifically comes from linalool, an aromatic compound that citrus oils are high in. Fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, Earl grey - all have a significant amount of linalool in their flavoring.
