    AbeFroman You touch me, I yell RAT!

    So, you know in Footloose when Chris Penn's character is a good fighter but his girlfriend is always telling him not to fight? And then at the end when he gets jumped she lets him go and he kicks ass? That's you, right now. You're doing the honorable thing.

    That said, I would start preparing a scorched earth diatribe in my head right now for when my wife finally unleashes my fury.

    ^ Yeah. Life's too short. When someone is ignoring hundreds of years of infectious disease science, there's not much you can do to fix that dumbassery.

    Do we know yet how booster shots will work far as being administered? Got my second shot back in February so I'm due for a booster but I did it at a place about 2.5 hours away. There's a county vaccination clinic next door to my office so I'm really really hoping we don't have to go back to the same place that we got the first two and can go to a new location.

    Boosters are not yet authorized for non-immunocompromised people in the US

    He’s probably right. I’m hearing increasing confidence in the oral Merck drug data forthcoming. That said, COVID-19 will continue to impact a lot of people for years to come even if hospitalization and Deaths are preventable

    isnt tamiflu really terrible at treating the flu though?

    the doctor I had said it might knock a day off of the symptoms because for it to be effective you have to take it within 48 hours which is a hard time table

    I dunno. Based on your posting, it seems like your wife may have taught herself how to be a good person more than the family :twocents:

    My in-laws are pretty damn Republican, but luckily they never got close to going down the anti-vax road. You’re a stronger person than I for all the restraint you’ve shown.

    I wonder what the deciding factor is on being a republican and anti-vax. Like there are some Rs who got the vaccine immediately when it was first available and then there's ones who've had family members die and still won't get it.

    This is just anecdotal but my whole family is R leaning and all got the vaccine, including kids of age. My wife’s family is all R leaning and well, we all know how that is going.

    The Republicans in my immediate family got it right away, mostly due to their own health risks (stepfather had open heart surgery three years ago) or risks to close loved ones (my MAGA aunt has a special-needs daughter). Extended family, not so much. My dad’s cousin and her husband refused to get the vaccine until the husband got COVID and had to be hospitalized. The moment he went to the hospital her and the holdouts on his side of her family rushed to the nearest clinic to get the first shot.

    So I think it’s based more on being affected personally that anything else. Republicans generally don’t give a shit about anything dealing with the greater good unless it directly affects them.

    There was a very long time it was considered a "city problem"

    Also a vice problem. Remember when trump fucked around getting in close with old WW2 vets during photo ops and he said no way they'd catch covid, they're so pure and nice

    In the earlier batch of stories where conservative communities started threatening med personnel, the rationale for not masking or distancing was " well ive known my neighbors for a long time and theyre good people and i trust them"

    Lotta just-world fallacy

    I like this but we’ve done nothing to prepare us for the next time this happens. And my guess is that we’ll see another pandemic within 20 years or so.

    I've been consulting a three letter agency on their data management and reporting procedures, the shitshow described in this expose is consistent with my experience. Just replace all the medical data with taxpayer dollars and it's pretty much spot on. There is no bottom to the government's ineptness.

    federalism and starving the best largely make the US unable to handle large scale projects with any efficiency at all (plus no national healthcare system or even national medical record system)
