I saw some stories about places advertising the vaccine "with maximum discretion."

The Right are such cowards.

But this will lead to a great new pina colada song.

They can shed the vaccine on people who are unvaccinated. It makes total sense.

Whoa...CDC doc on breakthroughs and Delta paint a pretty grim picture.
  • Seems you have more viral load over a longer period of time (18 days for Delta vs. 13 days for "original" Covid). Means longer quarantine periods. 18 days is... a lot.
  • R0 is estimated at 5-9. I
  • Delta is likely more dangerous too. 1.8-2x (CI of 1.4-2.5) more likely to need hospitalization than other strains; 3.9x more likely to need ICU; 2.4x more deadly.
  • For breakthrough cases, the data is showing that your viral load is just as high as the unvaccinated. Just as contagious as unvaccinated. Yikes.
  • The efficacy is still good, but not great for symptomatic. 65-88% for symptomatic disease; 95%+ for hospitalization.

Wow. That’s some grim a-s fucking shit right there. So basically, around 1% fatality rate, with the contagiousness of chicken pox? This fall/winter is going to be grim.
They already have a signup sheet in my breakroom asking for volunteers for the inevitable isolation unit. They’re going to have to double my hazard pay for me to consider it.
 
Metro Manila is going on lockdown starting tomorrow. Typically this means grocery stores will limit the # of customers, 50% seating in restaurants, no sales of alcohol, nothing is allowed to be open 24 hours, no travel into/out without a negative swab test or proof of vaccine, or if you're traveling to the airports proof you are flying but only ticket-holders are allowed. This is scheduled for 2 weeks and then they'll reevaluate after to end or extend.

You touch upon a larger issue.

I wasn't that upset in the first year of the pandemic over the stuff I missed out on, other than normal human emotion of missing things. After all, it's nature. We had no control. No different than having your life turn sideways if a natural disaster hit your area.

But now, at this time of the pandemic, we do have absolute control over our destiny, and can overcome nature. I repeat that again. We turned the tables. We have the control. But absolute morons want to concede that control and give it back to nature. Why? That's why I have such contempt towards the unvaccinated. For once, humans can control nature, and you're ****ing it away.

Listen to this drivel ^^^ Get a hold of yourself.

You were not alerted to a pandemic-level pathogenic disease causing agent by your own senses, observations or experience. You were conditioned by propaganda to believe in a pandemic-level pathogenic disease causing agent by the media, the pharmaceutical industry, and government.


In the US since week 8 2021 - since there hasn’t been any significant excess deaths...

600,000 dead isn't enough for Ron Johnson to care about.

I repeat: Ron Johnson, a Senator for Wisconsin, couldn't care less if the entirety of the Green Bay and Fox Valley metro areas were Thanos snapped off the Wisconsin map.

Yeah there is no way the State Fair doesn't happen and there is no amount of measures that will make it safe. The only saving grace is most of Minnesota is vaccinated but a lot of the red parts of the state are gonna be in for a surprise come mid September between The Fair and school opening...

Sturgis is not shocking but what the fuck is Chicago thinking letting Lollapalooza go on?
 
What if we bribe all the Trump Humpers from Gazelkastan with free cheese curds and Sweet Martha's Cookies if they get the shot? Maybe throw in deep fried candy bars or something...
 
BTW...while Delta is scary the numbers are still vastly in favor of the vaccinated. There is a lot of heavy breathing over this and in truth those of us with a brain are still protected. We can get sick and we can obviously spread but the way some are acting is way over the top considering the available info. What's worse is that overreaction and sometimes misrepresentation is being used by the Anti-vaxxers to push their agenda making things even worse.

The vaccine is still working.

edit: Being vaccinated does not mean you should still not take precautions obviously. Going to a concert and not masking up is just braindead stupidity.
