COVID-19: Chapter 6 - ThanksGRAVING

Come now, we arent children

I CALLED IT.

CNN has a five minute story on two fucking people who had allergic reaction to vaccine. Two! Of course they then mention these two carry allergy pens as they have a history of severe allergies.

Fuck the media so hard.

I follow a few YouTube channels on cruise news and it’s actually hilarious. It’s basically

Video about cruises going again
Video about cruises stopping

Repeat for nine months.

International vaccine market? Sheeeeeeit. How about our local markets. There was a news article in the Palm Beach post (south Florida paper) about how no one in the state knows how this thing is going to be distributed because DeSantis isn’t telling anyone. I think there’s a lot of places here that are going to see bad shit happening locally. And of course the people
Clambering loudest to get the vaccine first are almost certainly going to be the ones who have been yolo’ing it up and fighting all the public safety measures.

Yeah. I can imagine the vaccine line with most people wearing masks, but others refusing to wear them, and refusing to get out of line. That should be fun.

Yea I saw on Twitter England is telling those with severe food allergies not to get vaccinated. I’m allergic to shellfish. No idea if that would apply to me.

HHS has released hospital-level data going back to August. You can find it here:

Based on my initial look at it, it’s super messy/complex. So I’m not even going to try analyzing it at all. For those interested, here’s an FAQ with some suggested metrics:

The University of Minnesota has put together a visualization, but the site isn’t responsive:

Looks like the Thanksgiving surge is gonna start now. A friend of a friend had Thanksgiving with her family at Cracker Barrel. 6 out of 8 people are now pozzed. Apparently she went to the mall the same day she started feeling sick and was Christmas shopping/having pictures with Santa. This is in Dallas so who knows how many Typhoid Mary infected.

No idea why it would and the guidance about anyone with severe allergies is a temporary measure.

Alright thanks. That makes me feel better.

Shit is gonna get real bad in the Czech Republic. The state of emergency extensions are becoming very unpopular and the opposing parties are starting to not support them.

Thing is without a state of emergency, the government can’t legally do the things it’s doing now to slow down covid (masks, social distancing etc).

Looks like the country will get one until Christmas but after that who knows.

it’s as if overlapping pandemic legacy and twilight struggle games are unfolding in front of us in real time. with twitter providing both play-by-play and colour commentary.

Yeahhhhhh this is what I’m worrying about. And that’s in a country about 1/10th the size of the US.

Essentially, buckle up, the long haul is not changing any time soon.

I think that congress seriously considering stimulus still is a good sign that they know that the vaccine is not close to an immediate fix-all

Tell Nancy that. She straight up said because the vaccine and Joe winning we don’t really need much stimulus now lmao

It’s crazy. There is no way we get 90% compliance in 2021

i thought the point she was making that with joe it’s more likely they can pass other bills to cover the gap between $900b and $3.3t.

if trmp took re-election more seriously, he should have supported the bigger stimulus in sept/oct. then he could literally cut every safety net for four another years. and nancy wouldn’t be able to get a dollar more from them.

but mitch and trmp are too greedy and stupid.
