Ugh last run thru the news and twitters before bed:

So is it possible you could have caught the less infectious version and still have immunity to that, but then still catch the more infectious version?
Every single place in the US is going to get hit hard eventually if we don’t change course. Talking about seasonality in the USA is about as meaningful as arguing over how flooded your house is at 100 gallons a minute vs. 200. You are fucked either way.
The only proven strategy so far to combat Covid is social distancing, masks and testing/tracing. Like maybe the seasons matter some but it is a real long shot it gets better in winter and we know it is plenty bad in spring/summer so some people’s fixation on it seems really odd.
I haven’t followed the news this weekend but stonks are up, so I assume things are looking better.
Good post and a good reminder that there is still plenty to enjoy safely in Covid times. Hike, camp, cook good food, drink great wine, see family and friends who are taking things seriously on your patio, etc.
I dunno, seems unlikely but plausible.
Maybe! But yes.

Great White finding new ways to kill their fans.
It’s clear, as morbid as it is, nothing changes unless covid starts killing 10-100x more people.
I don’t really have anything to add or say other than god fucking damnit. Jesus fucking christ.
I hope there’s some good news on the horizon because for somebody that has been very mentally stable my entire life, the US outlook going forward is starting to cause me issues. Wife is starting to notice.
Also this, weekly counts from my county:
Seems unlikely. Unless the protein that induces most of the immune response is also the one that is altered to allow greater transmissibility.
We know (I think) that people who got SARS seem to do better with COVID, so it would seem that whatever is responsible for the immune response is at least somewhat conserved among various coronaviruses.
Ew, no. Great post overall, but truffle oil is gross. There’s basically zero actual truffles in that stuff. It’s just cheap vegetable oil and artificial flavoring.
“ Apparently they were playing to a crowd of COVID positive people experiencing the symptom of no taste.”
This is accurate. Still a ton of otherwise smart people out there making daily bad decisions. The mask thing is almost a joke. What % of masks are actually helping? I know they are supposed to help but a fair amount of people refuse to wear them correctly. Too many people are just not interested in going to the proper lengths to secure anything but a nut low outcome.
“ Omg imagine dying just to see Great White how embarrassing”
It says that 2 of the 3 monkeys without the vaccine got pneumonia and that all 6 of the monkeys given the vaccine didn’t get pneumonia. That sounds pretty good.
Hello this is Straya, we have run out of freedoms. Please send halp.

NO PUPPET, YOU’RE THE PUPPET
Funny considering scomo has endorsed ‘Dictator Dan’ 's decision and he’d basically blow Trump.
Also good chance she thinks the Liberal Party are liberals haha
Not sure how big your county is but my county is getting daily counts half the size of your cumulative total and we are about 500k population
