In Tennessee, the state’s top immunization official, Michelle Fiscus, said this week that she was forced from her job after writing a memo describing a 34-year-old legal doctrine that suggested that some teenagers might get vaccines without their parents’ permission. | The New York Times

Why are you yelling?

I don't see what the problem is. The human immune system and it's teeth can handle that Mr. Clean ****.

USA Today fact checking doesn't seem to agree with the Post's "massive surge" statement in the article.

This is nonsense.

Even if that 266,xxx number is overstated (it's probably not), claiming that there were less than 200 people infected is absurd nonsense.


Stop believing everything that confirms your bias.

Go back to my post asking dx about the map. Read the last sentence. Thank you for your time.

MO now? That's Delta wreaking havoc. I posted about it a page or two ago.

Essentially they didn't get hit that hard in the main waves (not sure how) and they haven't had high vaccination rates. So the most contagious version of COVID we've seen is now going to find every person it can and, well, they're getting hit hard.

And their Qovernor is campaigning against allowing the Feds to come in and try and get people vaccinated. Just another state I have no need to visit again.

You can drop the attitude. I think the USA Today is full of crap, and anyone who believes that is pre-disposed, as you are, to believe any silly thing that downplays stupid behavior like having a gathering of half a million people during a god damned pandemic.

That half a million people scattered throughout the country after it in the weeks and months before we had the fall surge (which then led to the winter explosion). Surely even Trumpists can understand that 1+ 1 = 2

here's a version of the map set to scale at the peak of the wave 3.

Sorry that I don't put a lot of stock into the news-gathering abilities of the newspaper that's given out free at moderately priced hotels. They aren't exactly known for being a hard and accurate news gatherer. Wire stories aside, their value is... low. I read the article and they come to the same conclusion that the COVID deniers come to, based on some kind of silly things like taking the SD governor at face value, so what does that tell us?

"McPaper."

I am astounded it has lasted. It's not dumb enough for the NY Post / Washington Times low brows, it's not "completely unchallenging but almost smart" enough for the LA Times / Boston Globe middle brows. It's a little shy of mediocre. It's the newspaper equivalent of John Grisham.

It's actually kind of... Joe Biden.

Cases in Mass are doubling every six days and Maine’s seven day average is up over 50% in the last week. We’re in serious trouble and I think the next couple months could be one of the toughest parts of the pandemic. The deaths and hospitalizations won’t be close to what they were over the winter but we’re going to have a really tough time getting things under control. I would anticipate a lot of unrest if governments need to bring back restrictions which they will almost surely have to.

Any sort of restriction isn't gonna happen. Politically it's a death sentence. There is also the legit possibility that in certain parts of the country, the Middle-Aged, goateed LARPers actually try and live out their fantasy for real. And no one wants that blood on their hands.
