It’s a shitshow in Europe. France with 52k cases today, 17% positivity rate (US equivalent would be 260k), Belgium with a staggering 17k cases, 19% positivity rate (US equivalent of 480k). Things seem bad now, but those numbers are only going to become hospitalizations in what, 2-3 weeks? That’s gonna mean a lot of deaths...
A pulmonologist I work with who is in the Moderna trial with me tested positive for antibodies apparently.
My parents are moving and I was helping them on Friday while the house was being painted. I saw throat lozenges on the counter and none of the painters wearing masks but I fucked up and didn’t say anything. Now one of the painters tested positive so we all have to go get tested. Fucking livid right now.
Alaskas all time high for new cases in a day as of two and a half days ago was 255. Then we hit 371 yesterday and then today, a Sunday, was 523. That folks is what we call an outbreak.
We had 800 cases today with 12x the population and pretty much the whole province is on lockdown. Fucking sucks. I get it, but it sucks.
Central Florida? I went to target today and everyone had a mask. Everywhere I’ve been you’re shamed if you aren’t wearing mask correctly, let alone none at all.
On the corner of the street Target is on there were 30-40 people with trump signs. Only 1 had a mask. They probably shop at Walmart though.
I completely expected the end of fall/winter wave to dwarf the first wave. Completely missed the summer wave happening in the south.
Yeah, we are going into a "shutdown". Curfew from 10-5. My sister is a nurse at one of the main hospitals in central El Paso and has been stretched pretty thin. And that's before the last 2 weeks where we went from ~2500 active cases to ~11000 active cases
Keep trying to slowly feed my closest friends and family the latest numbers without trying to “scare tactic” them. It’s working so far.
Brevard. The chains were its mandated aren’t too bad, but in general there seems to be a lot of hoax-ism
Long article, but 3 friends go to bar, all get covid and one is now dead. Name of bar they think they got it from? Pour Judgment. Oh the irony https://www.sunherald.com/news/coro...ccgmElrE4mNdvAaj3DOJqHDzlkzAcZTHh9Vui96HCwTXU
northern weather bias. People who live in the north but also much of the mainstream media living in NY/DC skews things to their perception of summer and winter which is flipped in many parts of the south. I honestly think the explanation is as simple as that.
Modeling isn’t perfect, but it’s not that dumb, either. COVID transmission accelerated in the winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and decelerated in the Northern Hemisphere everywhere except red states.
So the fucking bar where the guy contracted COVID from decided to hold two in person benefits to raise money for his cremation? “Bobby would’ve cried knowing how many people showed up to support him”. What
Yeah I’ve been to Louisiana one time and it was August and felt like I was sweating by just leaving my hotel room so I totally understand the flip compared to us Northerners, and I just downplayed it mentally.
So my sense of smell/taste has been funky since last night and I woke up this morning with a painfully swollen thumb, but the online questionnaire from my medical provider says don't come in to get tested because I don't have respiratory symptoms Probably just a staph infection anyway, no worries RIP
We're gonna lose somewhere north of 500K people and probably much more... For the dumbest reasons. This really is an awful country. How many more people have to die because Americans are idiots?
Schumer tweeted and then deleted this. I'm sure the vet's family will be comforted by new 800 phone lines.
Amazing how people like Chuck and Nancy are taking all the wrong lessons from this shit. Just out of touch rich cunts.
It's the most gimme layup to advocate for aid to individuals, both in legislation and on social media. And this is what they come up with.
Democrats are as big on that boostraps bullshit as the Republicans are. That's why if they get Trump out people like Chuck and Nancy to be next on the block. All these old democrats who haven't done shit for any of us need to go.
