In case some of you are worried we have to wait for a vaccine, good news. It is going to go away on its own.

Hospitals probably turning away child gun shot victims because of Covid.

I just did my bi-weekly visit to my office in the Hancock Park area, coming from Glendale. Traffic has definitely gotten thicker. After over a month of so few people on the roads I find myself absolutely enraged by any traffic at all.

I’ll admit, when I first read this, I thought she was talking about kids in cages. Lol @ her.

My concern with a vaccine is how do you distribute it after it’s developed? Even a random flu shot at Walgreens takes a half hour. How are we vaccinating 300+ million people quickly?

It will probably involve the military or national guard. It also won’t be 300+ million people quickly. First it’ll be the politically connected 1%ers, then it’ll be the frontline medical workers, then it’ll be cops and military, then we’ll do some kind of lottery probably. The military/national guard will be involved to enforce the lottery. It’ll likely also be rigged.

The seasonal flu doesn’t kill .1 percent for the same reason this doesn’t really kill 6 percent. The .1 percent nubmer thrown about is confirmed cases who seek treatment. The true IFR of the seasonal flu is more likely in the .01-.02 rate.

Seriously we need covid response workers for testing, maintaining social distancing, delivering food to hospitals and shut ins. Administering shots. Heck make PPE or whatever else we need.

It’s not like we don’t have a shit ton of unemployed people.

This is ripe for a new deal style public works program. How popular could that be?

Dammit, forgot we are the nazis now. Silly me.

Please cite that flu counts are 1/10 of diagnosed.

Yeah I agree with almost all of that, the problem is though with anti-vaxxers is the mountain of proof showing it’s super safe. AFAIK there is nothing in the world with more evidence than most of these vaccines. I mean some bad shit does happen sometimes but it’s .001%. And it does put your kid at risk when you don’t do it. Most of these things had herd immunity but in some areas they don’t anymore because of this movement. I remember a bunch of kids got super fucked up and sick at disneyworld because a bunch of the kids were unvaccinated. Hell I think they have settlements where all the unvaccinated kids live together.

So yeah their approach is kinda understandable but still super bad.

Alright Stu lol. I’ve probably had some small medium sized K high and Q high on good boards but damn at T highs. Live misclicks that you’re taking credit for imo

Yeah I’m not at all condoning anti-vaxx. It’s terrible. It opened my eyes a bit that a lot of the “woke” types who are anti-big-pharma and pro-plant based diets aren’t these super intelligent woke types, they just happened onto that and can be convinced of damn near anything.

Haha, no misclicks. Throwback to 2p2!

The ones I know stumbled on it via LSD lol. Honestly I’d bet thats a huge percentage of them. Really it did make me want to be way healthier and kinder and eat healthier. I was already a pretty nice guy but after LSD I went out of my way to try and be super nice because it makes you feel like everything and everyone is connected in some way.

Not enough to give up meat though. I’ve considered it a few times but unfortunately I don’t really like veggies and have to get mine via making smoothies. If I liked a huge variety of veggies I would have done it for moral reasons.

I didn’t really like veggies until I tried, now I’ve found a few very enjoyable dishes and don’t really miss the meat - plus I still eat it once every 2-3 weeks, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

My brother was Err Vegan until this week, he’s changed back for the duration of this pandemic in case he has too if supplies dry up mostly fish though plus the extra protein.

What’s “Err Vegan”?
