CoVID-19
oh great. we were hoping to go on vacation late june / early july.And then you have this, because mutations.

Evolutionary-spreading model predicts another devastating COVID-19 peak around July 2021
The emergence of this variant highlighted the uneven pace of mutation and selection of variants. New bioinformatics tools are the need of the hour to clarify this and confirm a dynamic evolution by tracking the mutation rates of the spike protein. It generally takes 1 – 6 months for current...www.news-medical.net
Which has me conflicted... because part of me wants to say, "good!" but the other part feels bad for healthcare workers that will have to deal with these fucking dolts.
They don't deserve this horseshit...

i still plan on masking when doing indoor things like shopping, as both my kids are currently too young to be vaccinated.
Remember the part where they shut down the entire region and built those massive emergency hospitals in a week?
Whats the rush to stop using masks?
The risk-benefit of using masks for a few more months, vs the risk of a more infectious/deadly variant is insane.
Do you wear glasses? It is a major PITA in humid climate or when changing from hot to cold air (like shopping in a grocery store) I, for one, cannot wait to stop making choices between seeing or breathing.
too busy going through the motions of impeachment to pay attention probably...
Remember the part when the whistleblower doctors first reporting about the new lung disease disappeared or were shut up?
If your glasses fog up then your mask is not sitting correctly.
Have you met the average American? These dipshits think having to wear a mask is communist oppression.
It was one guy, who was professionally reprimanded, not ‘disappeared’ or any such rubbish, for publicly sharing private medical records and incorrectly saying it was an (old) SARS. Health board POV: He unethically used confidential patient data and spread a lie about it.
Anyway, by that point the Chinese CDC had already been notified about the (new) virus and was in communication with the WHO about it. The WHO first noted it in their bulletin one day after that stuff happened.
It was essentially a non-story used by elements of the western media to spin the story about evil Chinese state control.
The fact you remember it as multiple people being ‘disappeared’ is quite telling of the success of such propaganda.
Remember the wreckage in the Pentagon,....
Fuck this so much. I'm so done with people saying "oh, you need to get one that has a wire/seals up"-whatever. IT DOESNT FUCKING WORK. It's just the heat of my face in most cases and I can't turn my face off, sorry.
Huge amounts of Pandemic cash should go straight to front-line health care workers, IMO.Which has me conflicted... because part of me wants to say, "good!" but the other part feels bad for healthcare workers that will have to deal with these fucking dolts.

Daughter gets hers at 10:45 this morning. She's pissed because she'll be dealing with the side effects on the weekend and won't get to miss any school.
Yeah this.
I feel bad for all the people in the factory here - mandatory safety glasses, mask and ear plugs. Your head is sealed off from everything and it sucks.
It doesn't help that all the heat treaters, welding robots and oil washing machines dump hot air into the building.
Theres no avoiding getting fogged up glasses or a mask that feels all stuffy and clogged.
I mean do you blame her?Daughter gets hers at 10:45 this morning. She's pissed because she'll be dealing with the side effects on the weekend and won't get to miss any school.
There is talk here about online learning being permanent, if you want to go that way. That means no more snow days - there is going to be a revolt!!!
Ayup. We are going to be having random C19 patient for a long while.Which has me conflicted... because part of me wants to say, "good!" but the other part feels bad for healthcare workers that will have to deal with these fucking dolts.

No kidding. I'm all I'm favor of WFH being a more permanent option, but kids need to be in school. Remote learning has proven incredibly challenging for both students and teachers, and its doing them both a disservice continuing the arrangement any longer than necessary.
they would have to continue providing devices in order to do so. not sure if they plan on continuing to incur that expense.
Snow Day? Don't we require actual snow for that?I mean do you blame her?

Some businesses ban vaccinated customers as fertility misinformation goes viral
"You can't fact-check someone's personal experience," said one expert. "With Instagram stories, people share their testimony, and the first round of it feels so intimate and immediate."
FUCK Ford. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on (RIP)
Computers and tech support have got to be cheaper than hiring teachers, otherwise those asshats wouldn't be "thinking" twice about this.

here in America™, increasing school funding is commie bullshit.
even without computers and tech support, we still need more teachers.

Sounds like that guy has one of these. It's astounding the stupid shit people are dumb enough to believe on social media.
While it's true that "You can't fact-check someone's personal experience" you sure as hell can point out that they are a dumb motherfucker. And more people *should* be pointing this out to dumb motherfuckers.Some businesses ban vaccinated customers as fertility misinformation goes viral

Those of us in the north still get some.
Sounds like a great way to find out that I never want to visit your establishment again. Infact, please make sure you have a large sign out front so I can avoid getting out of my car.Some businesses ban vaccinated customers as fertility misinformation goes viral

You sound like a Chinese government official. Sure, blame the physicians that talked to each other about a mysterious lung infection and sanction them instead of listening to what they have to say.
Maybe I am biased, but some of my colleagues work in collaboration with Chinese scientists on projects in China about water pollution. One even was hired by a Chinese university and lived in China for three years. The stories that they tell what they are allowed to publish, how data gets manipulated in official reports to "improve" water quality is something that goes against all scientific standards.
Knowing this, all the "anti-Chinese propaganda" about Covid sounds a lot more plausible.
It depends on envormental conditions and how hard im exerting. With 50mph in my face constantly, yeah, no fog. Stop and almost immediate fog. Glasses fog and ice over while riding in the winter with no mask at all, or alternatively, with a sealing no-fog mask that directs everything down. Humidity, temp changes, they all play a factor. I even fogged up bad this week at the gym doing a hard boulder, after i had been there for half an hour. And yes, with one of those wire sealing masks. Also, with a sealed n95 last week sanding the carbon on my rear triangle (outside).
Ah, bummer. I just have issues on very cold days and working with cheap safety glasses. I did use this anti-fog coating stuff that Oakely sells on a cheap set of safety glasses and this reduced fogging greatly.
I should consider myself lucky then I guess.
I've tried all sort of remedies to no avail. The only thing that sorta works is the Ryders anti-fog coated lenses but I don't have those in prescription glasses.
I mean, if there's something that works, I'm all ears. There's no end of people suggesting things, but I've tried all that crap and temperature differences, whether on my face and glasses, or inside vs. outside, trigger it and it's incredibly frustrating at times. For skiing and backcountry, the Julbo goggles have done a good job, with their pop-out lens, not perfect, but decent. There's almost always some wind there though and often sun. Bright sun blasts it away pretty well, but indoors/outdoors transitions, exertion wearing a mask, exertion in the winter, all easily trigger it and making them clean, or layer of soap, or cat-crap, or whatever people are suggesting, doesn't work.
This is a fascinating read.

The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill
All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences.
