So you’re abandoning your belief that schools should open because pubs and restaurants are also open? Or do you still believe that the same standards for opening should apply to each of them?
I didn’t notice the dates. Yes much higher if we go back a couple of weeks.

Gonna be so sick if the vaccine drops like the day before the election and Trump somehow convinces America that Biden will charge people for it while Trump will give it away for free.
The two types of ‘acceptable’ current day Trump supporters are:
a) Rich
b) Racist

I think it’s time for us to accept that qAnon is going mainstream over the next couple of years, and it’s going to be a socially acceptable point of view.
Which we clearly cannot.
That’s your opinion, not a universally accepted fact.
Embrace it, it’s happening. I’ve decided I am going to be okay with it when it happens, because if he’s re-elected my life expectancy is short anyway, and my quality of life will suck too. Might as well embrace the variance and take the TrumpVaxx.
That’s my understanding.
My friend ignores my covid takes and then sends me Nate’s tweets cause he’s so goddamned smart about covid. I’m totally okay with that and not at all angered.
We live in a death cult. Embrace it.
The good news is we’re either going to get a really great peace or the peace of death.
My main concern is the timing. We can’t be doing the lol celebrating in late October or we’re fucked.
E Pluribus I don’t care.
Because in America to be super successful, you are most likely a super privileged white male first and foremost. Then it helps if you are sociopathic and exploit others, and are a risk-taker.
Me too. Took like 6 days off this thread and figured I’d catch up once a week or so. I’m about ready to go headfirst off the roof and I’m not even halfway caught up yet. Fucking depressing.
You’re thinking about this wrong. It’s a function of R0 and active cases. You’re only thinking about R0, which is affected by SDI. There are no bonus points, but the relationship between SDI and R0 may not be linear. The relationship is not between time and R0, but rather time is a function of R0 and active cases.
If we leave them open all year this is a good estimate.
America has been brought to its knees, and half the country thinks it’s about to get a blow job from Lady Liberty and can’t unzip fast enough.
Sorry for the sexual analogy, but if that doesn’t sum it up…
Hey dumbass, I know you’ve been told this before politely which is why I’m now being a fucking asshole. Nobody else in the developed world opened schools with cases at their peak. Herp derp I wonder what will happen??? DoNt Be So NeGaTiVe GuYs OtHeR cOuNtRiEs oPeNeD tHeIr ScHoOlS!
Now shut the fuck up with your misinformation.

Cuse The Asshole Who’s Had Enough Bullshit
Fuck this shit, and I’m a stockholder. Fucking assholes.
I’ve had 8 of the 10 most common in the last couple weeks, and 16 of the others. Probably stress, though. They’re all so generic.
BUBBLES??? THE KIND YOU BLOW??? THE KIND KIDS SPIT ON WHEN THEY BLOW???
I have a friend who cares deeply about others and being a good person, and he told me recently he had COVID in March and still has symptoms. He took two weeks off work (driving an Uber), then had no choice.
He lost low-mid six figures of his net worth paying his mother’s medical bills cause USA#1, then lost his income (poker and marketing) from the pandemic, and had to drive Uber. Used a mask but still caught it, took two weeks to avoid spreading it, and used a mask after as well.
His choice was be homeless/hungry or work with long hauler symptoms. Being homeless with long haul covid is damn near a death sentence, so it’s hard to blame him.
Break is going great, I have no clue what you’re talking about!

Whether this answers this I don’t know and Dan can correct me if I’m wrong, but my assumptions are always that SDI score produces the Rt. Lower SDI produces higher rate of transmission, lower Rt does not produce more SDI. That is a function of active cases. If there are fewer active cases, there are fewer chances of spreading even when SDI is bad. When I’m talking about ‘bonus’ points, I don’t mean in places like Maine that have very few active cases, I mean in places like Texas, California, and Arizona where something else is clearly bringing case numbers down outside of SDI with the only explanation being mask usage (lack of testing does not explain it in any of these places). That produces a lower SDI need to reduce spread, in my opinion, hence my reference to that as ‘bonus’ points.
SDI is a separate measurable, and while I once thought it was interesting to tie SDI and R0 together, I think R0 and active cases are the only things that should be tracked together. SDI shows you what’s going to happen in the future, if anything, and there for sure will be ‘bonus’ points by doing actions that reduce Rt that are not tracked, such as mask usage. You can say a place’s score goes from 30 to 35 with mask usage, or you can say the necessary SDI to reduce spread can be reduced to 30 from 35. Either way, those are ‘bonus’ points in my book.
Ok I would have worded it differently but if that’s what you meant, I agree.

Seems fine because STONKS and NASDONK
Here’s a tip re: taking a break.
Don’t read every post you missed when you eventually return. Just skip ahead to the most recent and act like the ones you missed never happened. If anything super important was discussed you’ll hear about it eventually, and you’ll save yourself the dread overload from binging to get caught up.
I’m serious. It makes a huge difference to just totally not read the thread for a day or two.

I skimmed other threads but didn’t want to miss any new COVID studies or anything.
I chose poorly.
