This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

Picked-up take-out in Flemington last night ('cause I thought Frenchtown would get sucked up and deposited in Kansas), mask sign on the window and everyone in the immediate area also in masks.
 
I love how the Fox news watchers keep saying this is like the flu. Like the flu now? Like the flu when it first started in 1918 and it killed between 3-5% of the world’s population. Like the flu in 1975 where vaccines sorta worked but many people were still dying. What flu period are we comparing this new virus to? Which one best fits your narrative?

It is like the flu in one respect - it's not going anywhere unless it mutates to a completely harmless variant. We will have to learn to live with it - get vaccinated to protect yourself and forget about it or take your chances.
 
5th wave will peak early Sept then drop sharply. Only an idiot governor would shut down schools and businesses again so maybe it will happen in nj. Uncle Joe will continue to mutter about the good old days and read whatever cue cards he is given while veep Harris plots ways to invoke the 25th amendment.

No not what Q thinks I want what Rick thinks
 
I disagree with that decision as well, but I find it really hard to believe that it's had any significant impact on vaccination rates. I'd be surprised if most people even remember that pause.

Agreed. No significant impact there. -1 point from Rick for clinging onto that nonsense.

Ah so it was a complete coincidence that daily vaccination rates peaked the day before the pause was announced and immediately (and permanently dropped) the day after? Please...

I enjoy the “please” argument style. There was a blip as you both mentioned. But I would suggest that the people who were gonna get it got it, and vice versa.

This is all supposition so you know, we’re just punching the clown into the wind.

Blip? What are talking about? Just explain the data.

It gave people looking for a reason not to get it an excuse. And it reinforced the choice of those who were already against it.

Was it a stands alone game changing event?

Could used a bit more data with that plot.
What catches my eye is the tail. People being convinced? Or stragglers for second dose? Procrastinating?

Everybody masking here in LA inside. Many outside.

And it scared people off who were on the fence. Combined with the "vaccinated still need masks" waffling only made it worse.

I think the delta wave is fueling the latest increase in vaccinations - FL had a large weekly increase last week.

PS why are you up at 5am on vacation?? 😀
