Plenty of pear reviewed papers saying the virus can’t survive any occupancy rate below 42.3%.

I think it can be read either way. How about this (re: whooping cough)
"In the 1950s, highly successful vaccines based on inactivated pertussis cells (the bacteria that causes whooping cough) drove infection rates in the U.S. below one case per 100,000 people. But adverse side effects of those vaccines led to the development and introduction in the 1990s of acellular pertussis vaccines, which use just a handful of the bacteria’s proteins and bypass most of the side effects. (Currently given to children as part of the Tdap vaccine.)
The problem is, the newer vaccines might not block transmission. A January 2014 study in PNAS by another research team demonstrated that giving baboons acellular pertussis vaccines prevented them from developing symptoms of whooping cough but failed to stop transmission.
Building on that result, Althouse and Scarpino used whopping cough case counts from the CDC, genomic data on the pertussis bacteria, and a detailed epidemiological model of whooping cough transmission to conclude that acellular vaccines may well have contributed to – even exacerbated – the recent pertussis outbreak by allowing infected individuals without symptoms to unknowingly spread pertussis multiple times in their lifetimes."
And:
"Public health experts cannot rely on herd immunity to protect people from pertussis since:
- Pertussis spreads so easily
- Vaccine protection decreases over time
- Acellular pertussis vaccines may not prevent colonization (carrying the bacteria in your body without getting sick) or spread of the bacteria"
For those of you that think you may miss FB. I see 10-15 of these a day in the wonderful State of SC🌚
My building in Long Beach (CA) was built in the 20s and I have one.
Mind fuck alert, we’re in the 20s

This isn’t a read it the other way. You’re flat out wrong about chickenpox. Your evidence for whooping cough isn’t close to compelling either, nor is it directly contradictory to anything said.
Lmao
I see 2857 with a few states left including Kansas which has been a bit high of late. 2900 for sure. 2950 maybe. Outside shot if weekend catchup of 3000
Just 2020 headlines:

My province went into full lockdown today for 4 weeks including Christmas. No social gatherings or family gatherings allowed.

I just got a big scary alert on my phone from CA or LA I forget - to the effect of don’t do all the stuff you’re not supposed to be doing anyway.
Drove by my gym and it’s still completely packed.
I mean, I guess it’s possible that NYC radiators are louder than any other radiators but there is no reasonable theory for it and even if this is somehow true it’s not because NYC’s radiators are uniquely designed for pandemics.
Every place I’ve lived that had steam radiators required you to open the windows in the winter and they all made ungodly noises (and they were all heated from central steam, as most radiators in NYC apartment buildings are).
This is just another case of NYCians thinking they’re special

So … what are they going to do when Albertan Patriots have a bunch of parties and family gatherings at Xmas?
The tweet just addresses New Yorkers. It’s not claiming only NYC radiators were designed for this. Not sure why you guys are getting all hung up on the NY part.
Realistically nothing.
This is like everyone thinking the city they live in has the worst drivers.

Can add D-Day to that at around 4400 US KIA n/m don’t do that, that seems to be the total Allied KIA number. It surprised me it was that low.
