I think the NY Times has a pretty good tracker.

Sure. Thatâll do it lol
Theyâre tip top athletes in extraordinary physical shape. Theyâd fuck on top of a burning stove if they had to
Me: so you went to Vegas, unvaccinated, without a mask, youâre not feeling well now, and youâre asking me if you should isolate from your wife who is also unvaccinated and on immunosuppressants?
Pt: Stupid is as stupid does.
Me: âŚ
Me: yeah you should isolate

I also dont get the math. Do they have different cardboard for different sports?
The open division weight lifters are 3 times heavier than the lightest female athlete.
I mean. Its japan. So theyve probably thought of thatâŚ
Some good graphs in here:
They should get rid of enclosed spaces like individual rooms and just have a large, semi-open, well-ventilated area with beds and lockers divided by those Japanese screens.
You can fuck, but everyone else is going to know youâre fucking.
At some point the fear will kick in.

"The three who have tested positive on the rapid tests will receive a PCR coronavirus test, a more sensitive and accurate version of a COVID-19 test. The positive members will isolate for 10 days.
The three members are vaccinated."
âThere was a notable increase in the use of face coverings among lawmakers and Democratic staffers at their hotel Saturday morning. Since members arrived late Monday, masks have been used sparingly as they moved through the lobby and held meetings around the city.â
âTexas Democrats have met with a slew of Capitol Hill Democrats this week, including U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Vice President Kamala Harris also met with them on Tuesday.â
One personâs conspiracy is anotherâs tea leaves.
Iâm in a similar situation (5yo due to start school in a few weeks) and started to get pretty anxious about this a few weeks ago. Ultimately, though, it just has to be the case that the harm to your child and family from them losing another half-year+ of school until they can get vaccinated is a lot bigger than the risk to them of getting COVID. (This is a bit age-dependentâmight be less true for older kids, at least if they can cope well with the mental health aspects of being out of school. Also assumes a child without serious health problems.) The case for closing schools has always rested in large part on the risk of kids transmitting the disease to older folks who are much more at risk from it, and the people who are most at risk have largely gotten vaccinated. Most of the rest have had plenty of chance to get vaccinated and donât really have much moral standing to demand consideration.
Letâs be honest. Breaking a bed wouldnât be a hindrance; it would add to the thrill.
Iâve been going maskless to the grocery store but thatâs over with.
I was weary of every experience outside of home taking on the feeling of a dystopian wasteland. I was actually weighing the value of a smile.

Under normal circumstances, perhaps.
But these things are going to break before you even get started. No sense of accomplishment in that.

I wonder if the worldâs best athletes can figure out how to have sex without using a bed?
I think too much is being made of âworldâs best athletesâ. I suppose thatâs helpful, but at the end of the day youâre looking at horny 20somethings give or take. Horny 20somethings will find a way to fuck whether theyâre athletic or not. Iâm sure a broken cardboard bed on the floor will be more than enough to get the job done.
I bet youâre fun at sex parties.

From UK forecasts, which are quite rangey, those odds look the wrong way round.
