Specifics?
CoVID-19
When I worked nights I'd go grocery shopping at 2 or 3 in the morning. Usually it was pretty quiet, but every once in a while, it could get awfully strange.
I miss Portland.
People who exist as some kind of characature. Goths, vampires, kitty cats, death metal clowns. Then your tweakers ETC.
We had that problem.
Gvmt enacted a strict curfew and supermarkets/banks were restricted to 4-5 hours a day at the beginning of the pandemic.
Worst decision ever.
Lines were 3-4 blocks long, and once inside, lines to the cashier were 40 people long.
Grocery shopping took 2-3 hours at least, indoors and packed.
Many blamed this (along other meassures) to Peru having one of worst increases of deaths per millions in the world).
Reducing the number of people inside a building and PPEs/free alcohol to spray in hands works much better I think.
Yeah, cause there's so little COVID to contract once you get here.Well that's... good news?
CDC Requires COVID-19 Test From Air Passengers Entering The U.S.
Starting Jan. 26, airlines will only allow people to board if they provide documentation that they tested negative in the preceding three days or have recovered from the disease.www.npr.org
Seems sorta like almost a year too late.
Lockdown extended to Feb. 7. Yay!
We have reducing numbers of infections, but they really fear the British strain. Instead of going nuts they should just enforce people wearing real masks and not only these face shields or scarfs. Seen too many of those in the grocery store lately.

Don't ever change. Seriously.
4500 deaths yesterday
But.....HERD IMMUNITY
It's nuts going back and looking at the spreadsheets I was keeping up in spring/summer
I quit updating them for trendlines when they started pointing to 200k deaths because I thought that was just crazy.

So, what's the verdict at the moment for the mutations, especially the so called britisch mutation B.1.1.7?
I read an interview with a Swiss epidemiologist and they seem rather concerned about this one. It seems to have spiked significantly the infection rates in Ireland.

Technically yes, as they are immune to the virus Now.
otherwise know as “thin the herd” immunity.

More contagious
Right about the time everyone's getting covid fatigue and ignoring restrictions even more than they were before?
What could go wrong!
I can't wait to find out how many variants are spewing around the US. Knowing our american exceptionalism and how good we are at failing, I'm betting there's a variant going around right now that turns you into a catfish. The ground for mutation has been that fertile.
And another person I know got a covid shot. A bike shop owner who volunteers in a local rescue organization in an administrator role. Doesn't go on calls, doesn't have to do any face to face interactions.
CDC projects 90,000 deaths over next three weeks.
herd inmunity lasts 2-3 months at best.
We are at 1 deaths per 300 people (average for the general population) and just starting the 2nd wave here.
Got a new curfew and partial lockdown starting tomorrow. We will probably end with 1 out 200 dead by the time vaccines start working.

Took my Dad to the VA yesterday for his first Moderna shot. And hopefully there will be a mass vaccination facility opening soon and I can take my mom for her shot.

Well fuck. I just got word that my Uncle managed to catch it from someone at his work. He was admitted to the hospital last week and this morning they moved him to the ICU. He's one of the damn deniers who it appears will have to learn the hard way that he was wrong.
Stay safe, people.
Stay safe, people.
That sucks, AD.

Cool beans my client that tested positive and went into ICU made it. Should be released in another week if they don't take a turn for the worse. Best part is that he didn't transmit it to me or anyone else at dialysis.

Just get some from the Big Red bro in the far East. Or I've heard that the Sputnik vaccine is also great?
So it turns out there is no Pfizer Vaccine reserve. They claim it was already distributed. I'm willing to bet it never existed. They never bought it from Pfizer in the first place. The funds were probably repurposed: into pet projects, Back Pockets, illegal operations....anything but on the Vaccine
Yeah, think I read that somewhere...like a few posts above, maybe...
So I was watching an interview on MSNBC where they were talking about the vaccine and had to rewind a couple times to make sure I heard right.
I was commenting on that, with my own opinion
Woah dude, carefull about that, Woo might hear you.

Not really related, but if you needed another indicator of how messed up the world is currently. There are two buildings in Mainz that have permanent police protection:
the Biontech factory and the synagogue.
And Israel has the highest vaccination rate at the moment....mmmh....there must be a connection...
Someone tell the QAnon folks.
