Well sure. But how many of those actually count?

Edit:
Holy shit. I just realized that Brians "those deaths dont count because...." argument is actually the same argument as that fucking putz Dan-o used to make about how all the different way gun related deaths weren't actually gun deaths because <insert specious argument here>. Morans of a feather.......

Just me or do alot of recent TV Commercials for big-pharma appear to be all CGI characters? Occurred to me once after seeing three middle-aged men, in three AC Cobra Kit Cars, each driving with three labradoodles, all pulling out of a scenic overlook millimeters off the other's back bumper. :twitch: Now I cannot not see those idiosyncrasies during whatever ad is promoting Henry Ford's Elixir of Soy.
Had been convinced the Draft Kings girl was also CGI/Animatronics but she's a living, breathing homosapien.

My county recently compiled some Omicron specific statistics

What is interesting is that Omicron seems to be rapidly petering out amongst the vaccinated, no so much the un-vaccinated. For the past week the un-vaccinated are getting Covid at 6 times the vaccinated rate. That is closer to the Delta ratio.

Evening news just said Murica is back over 2200 deaths a day.

Got to be getting close to a nice round million by April Fools.

Like what opinions?

That's the kind of stance that has created a nation of morons, creeping fascism, and a whole racist ass section of murka banning books that give an accurate account of american history. The kind of sensitve little snowflakes that usually say that, think that straight up ignorance or stupidity is just an 'opinion' capable of only being differed with, not legitmately being addressed as the nonsense it actually is when it is just flat out wrong. Misinformation is usually dangerous and harmful BS, and exists not because it has merit, but because someone is making money off of it. People parroting that misinformation because it absolves them from having to endure the injustice of having to think deeper on a subject should absolutely be called on it. Dangerous dumbassery is not an "opinion."

Was only kidding! Sampled a JRE only once and it was at least a couple years ago - nothing with the low-hanging COVID fruit. Someone obviously dreamt up his content as being relevant at one time. Glad to have read that platform is siding with Neil Young.
Funny that Neil Young has even said Spotify has terrible audio. He's a huge audiophile and created his own DA conversion software.

So the girlfriends step father and mother have had tickets to the Superbowl for a while and have been flip flopping on whether to go or not. They've made the decision to go.

Thing is, the step father is not the most healthiest of persons. I forget what he has, but there is something up already with his lungs.

Shes a little concerned, as he's being stubborn about going. But oh well, what can ya do? They are vaccinated and whatnot, so her mother should be fine, if they were to get teh covid. But him...its a toss up.

I guess fingers crossed that they magically don't get it somehow?

if they are vaccinated, the risk is minimum.
At some point, you just gotta keep on trucking with life.

Yeah true I'm all for that.

This guy though starts coughing if the humidity changes too much. Based on how congested and how much my girlfriend coughed when we had covid a few weeks ago, her step father is not going to have a fun time.

I wish I could remember what he had, I remember at first the doctors thought he had pulmonary fibrosis and actually told him if he doesn't change his shit, he was going to die in a few years.

I’m triple vaxxed, and decided “what the hell…” and accepted my company’s offer to attend a Canucks game on Tuesday.

Just tested positive! My kid just had it too, but had just finished his round of self isolation, so who knows where I got it.

Did you actually read what I wrote? All I asked was what is the difference now if a fully vaccinated person (including boosted) can get and transmit the virus than someone who is unvaccinated. Has nothing the do with the death rate, I'm fully aware an unvaccinated person has a much higher chance of dying. But I wasn't asking this. So what is the difference in transmission between a fully vaccinated person with covid than an unvaccinated with covid? Has nothing to do with ignorance, I was just asking a question. Seems like a lot here on RM are fully vaccinated and still got the virus, and seem to be capable of passing it on to vaccinated or unvaccinated people. Just a few love to get their panties in a bunch and struggle to pull them out, because they don't have an answer. Toshi was kind enough to explain it without being a douche.

Also with Omicron shit is so contagious I am not sure you can hide from it. Unless it just goes away, which isn't likely, I don't think you can avoid it forever. You may be able to lay low until a Omicron specific vaccine is available. That being said one should expect and prepared to catch it if they go to something like the superbowl.

That's how the wife and I have been treating it, especially since the kid brought teh COVID home 2 weeks ago. Seems inevitable, and we've mostly resumed our "social lives", such as they were. Frankly I'm shocked she or myself haven't gotten it. I presume we probably have and were asymptomatic and/or, you know, the vaccine actually works. That said, I'm still avoiding large scale crowds like they have actual plague.

My wife, kid, and I are in the same situation. Seems *very* unlikely, given the R0 of this variant, that we *haven't* gotten it. Figure with our vaccination/booster perhaps we all had asymptomatic cases, or just maybe the booster was recent enough that we didn't get infected when exposed...

I'm thinking I should donate blood, as I think they test for that when you donate...

Have to say I was pretty upset the first time I went to a childrens museum and they didn't have a single one on display. There were kids running around all over the place. I am sure they could have dissected one or two of them without attracting too much attention.

we're still being extra cautious as our daughter is still too young to be vaccinated.

My family and myself have been doing that since April 2019 when I was back to work full time. Been to Vegas, Florida twice, indoor water park last winter, 9 full capacity NFL games, family gatherings, camping more times than I can count.
Everyone is vaccinated except my 3 year old, my wife is boosted and I will be before we head out on a cruise in April for Easter.
I've watched my sister, her husband and her 2 kids live in a hole for almost 24 months and I'm not taking that away from my kids and family. They have literally done nothing but sit at home, go to remote cabins 2 times for vacation and send their kids to school. They still got the Covid so I don't see the point.
