Haven't talked to him in over 2 weeks and he hasn't called me. So I'd assume not at this point. Given how pissed I was in ID, I figure he'd tell me once he is.
CoVID-19
Haven't seen any of my family since festivus 2018. Hoping to sneak across the border into BC to see my younger brother sometime next month before it gets shut again.
Actually it seems like cases where Delta was first hitting hard have started to drop or plateau. Delta burns hot and fast, either it is running out of victims or people have started to behave.
lol
It was hitting Washington hard. New mask mandate hit last week although 90% of people went back to masks well before the mandate in my 'hood. It seems to be running out of hosts in the more enfreedomed parts of the state.
I thought gout wasn't really curable, as in you always "have it"? I haven't had an attack in years, but I'm pretty sure I know what would trigger one.
We can only hope.
Technically speaking Gout is not actually the disease in question but rather the horrendous symptoms. Hyperuricemia is the condition that causes Gout attacks, which can be mitigated through a strict, limited diet and meds. Eventually I was able to “beat” Gout by losing a lot of weight. There is a direct correlation between visceral fat, i.e. belly fat, and Gout attacks. Now that I am no longer a bouncer sized, flabby downhiller I don’t have to take the meds and can pretty much eat anything I want.
That was meeee.I don't remember which one of you predicted this, but I tip my hat to you good sir.
Delta Air Lines is raising health insurance premiums for unvaccinated employees by $200 a month to cover higher Covid costs
Delta is the latest company to issue new rules for employee vaccinations, but stopped short of an outright mandate.www.cnbc.com

how's the missus?
Still definitely under the weather. Spent an hour on hold trying to get test results, finally gave up. So still not clear if actual COVID, or random cootie.

We had something like that at some point last year.
Oxygen tanks (which last a few hours for severe cases) normally go for $150 each, which is like 2 weeks of minimul wage.
They reached 30 times the price, or 1.25 years worth of minimum salary, as we just simply run out and death rates skyrocketed.
About 1% of the adult population died of Covid so far.
Jesus........
Think we're going to find a new person to cut our hair. She started spouting FOX talking points about vaccinations today. Explained how vaccinations work by limiting number of individuals who are likely to get, hence limiting potential for substantially stronger variables, but she continued to Delta variant on the vaccine itself
I have a friend who is an MD who voluntereed to go around the country to covid hospitals.
He said running out of icu beds isnt "that" bad, since the mortality rate is already high.
Running out of oxygen ls reallly the worst situation. Moderate cases, otherwise treatable with high volume o2, deteriorate fast.
I'm in a position to say that I'm extremely grateful for having a ready supply of high volume O2 when I needed it, for almost a month. This is exactly why the vaccine is important. Sometimes it's not about YOU, but maybe someone else might need that hospital bed, that oxygen supply, that doctor's attention. Simply by staying out of the hospital, you might allow someone else to be there, and survive.
free market solutions!
we doomed
locally sourced, produced and lunged pitchforks are our only ground up solution cuz the top is just gonna kill us all
Just caught a blurb on NBC that Florida hospitals are setting up tents in the parking lots because they are out of beds. Holly shit, 20K+ new cases per day, oxygen shortage and now going to treat patients in the parking lot during hurricanes. This is just mind bending to witness, pass the bath salts please.
Indeed.
An LAFD Captain Is Under Investigation After An Anti-Vaccine Mandate Video Rant
Capt. Cristian Granucci called an impending vaccine requirement "total tyranny" and threatened to sue his own union. The rules go into effect in October, and those who don't comply could get fired.

Somebody might want to provide this man the definition of "tyranny."
The fucking tyranny of assholes who talk to the camera for 10+ minutes with 10 second pauses between sentences. As soon as I see a phone video rant I start wishing I’d crashed my bike just a little harder.An LAFD Captain Is Under Investigation After An Anti-Vaccine Mandate Video Rant

Again, if part of your job description is to protect the lives and health of others and you refuse to wear a mask or get vaccinated during a historic pandemic, then you should look for another line of work.

I recon even if we go to L3 here in Welly, we’ll be there for a couple more weeks. I don’t think they’ll do a L4 region next to an L2. I don’t know about you but that’ll be basically the same for me still, just with takeaways.
My office won’t go back until L1 probably… They are super-cautious.
The fact that they even had to put out this advisory just shows how fucking stupid the anti vaxxers are

I know people make fun of Florida since I dunno when but they keep reinforcing this comedy, which isnt funny anymore. Smh.
Supreme Court decides to massively exacerbate inequality and social harm because money is more important that humans. I have many words but I think you know them already.

Legally they don't decide based on whether they think it's a good proposed policy. They decide based on whether the CDC, in this case, had the authority to enact that policy. And they didn't--that falls on the gridlocked legislature.
