@Coasterbrad

Reading the thread about covid is worse than currently having covid. And currently having covid really sucks.

Hang in there! Hope you feel better soon!

@Vict0ar

there is one side shifting the goalposts.

OK, let’s go to the tape.

@Vict0ar

@LFS

Vaxxed and boosted.

ya certain people tried to warn about this possibility and subsequently provided data showing this. they were called antivaxxers.

@Vict0ar

the fact is, yall massively underestimated how well the vaccine protected against infection. and if certain people that brought this up they were labeled an anti-vaxxer and attacked and banned.

@Vict0ar

my assertion was that this forum banned certain people for saying the vaccine did not stop transmission.

These aren’t the same thing!

[eyebooger]

N95 mask isn’t sufficient for these past few hours of posts.

[CaffeineNeeded]

lol dude no.

[anon38180840]

@Vict0ar

it was yall that were saying vaccine stopped transmission. the real world disgreed. at 16% at best.

Do you think that 84% efficacy means that 16% of vaccinated people catch covid?

@Vict0ar

thank you. finally. the fact that it did not actually eradicate in those populations is empirical proof (is that the right scientific term) that the vax did not stop transmission effectively.

No it’s not.

Quote me.

I know you won’t, tho, so here are some actual quotes:

COVID-19: Chapter 9 - OMGicron

Geez, good job cutting off the CN quote to include only the part that sorta makes you look good. From that same post: Risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection is minimal for fully vaccinated people. The risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from fully vaccinated people to unvaccinated people is also reduced. Reduced, not eliminated. Currently authorized vaccines in the United States are highly effective at protecting vaccinated people against symptomatic and severe COVID-19. Additionally, a growing body of…

Omicron, Boosters, and Asymptomatic Spread

He thinks he’s describing me, at least, and presumably also CN. See here: I’ve said that being vaxxed and boosted offers substantial protection against omicron. I still think that’s true. I think it’s true even if I also think that being vaxxed and boosted is more protection against delta than against omicron, and I also think it’s true even if being vaxxed and boosted is somewhat less protection than 2 shots against Wuhan (something like 90% effectiveness vs. say 85% effectiveness). I thi…

Christ Jesus, why

[Rivaldo]

Consider the lilies of the field
They do not spin
They do not weave N95 masks
But not even Solomon in all his glory was so arrayed as one of these!

[Rivaldo]

So, do not be anxious about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Let the day’s own viral load be sufficient for the day.

I love rockin’ tracks like John Coltrane love Naema
Like the student love the teacher
Like the prophet love Khadeja
Like I love my baby features
Like the creator love all creatures

[Rivaldo]

KRS?

[Trolly]

Nah, Black Star

What is the Black Star?
Is it the cat with the black shades, the black car?
Is it shining from very far, to where you are?
It is commonplace and different
Intimate and distant
Fresher than an infant

life is too short to argue with someone trying to troll you.

[superuberbob]

Think I’d rather have covid argue than get in a flame war

Couple day update. Still going fine, just a bit tired.

I think I felt worse before being positive, so its possible I just had it mildly and didn’t notice while at work.

My closest co-worker tested positive today, two others in our department/crew tested positive in between. Unsure if I was patient zero for us or another guy from another site (we all share a car when driving from mine-site to the major town to fly back home, plus spend some common minecamp time together (drinking, eating dinner etc).

I get two extra days off to make up my 7 days, thats nice. My actual home set up (me and the girlfriend live together, she has most of the house, I have the master bedroom, ensuite, and one spare room with a small tv, a Nintendo switch, and a chromecast for netflix etc… Food being delivered by her a few times a day is pretty damn good.

One coworker lives with three others and has to be stuck in his room only. That sucks.

Grunching but it sounds to me like Melkerson is having a prison consultation. Now the question is if he’s the prisoner or the consultant/attorney.

I’d put the mask on the sicko and KITN if they pull it down. Keep the air from getting saturated.

@goofyballer

Do we really need a Twitter thread to know that actively being mad at people who wear masks is fucking insane?

I mean there are a lot of people who are getting actively mad at anyone wearing a mask, so…

Problem is none of them are ever going to see a thread about it in 100 years.

But yeah I’ve been mocked in person to my face for masking like at least once a week over the last couple months.

[anon38180840]

Oh and if the GOP takes over after 2024, don’t be surprised if masks are banned in public. Land of the Free to stay at home if you don’t feel safe, libtards! But if you want to come out into USA#1, no masks for you. There are acceptable ways to protect yourself and the ones you love, we call them GUNS. If God wanted you to wear a mask, he’d have put it in the Constitution, dumbass!
