COVID-19: Chapter 9 - OMGicron

Some hospital in MO? Has issued staff panic buttons for when these covidiots show holdup making chaos and threats.

Panic buttons? The only thing that’s gonna work is a Seal Team Six that tases these fucking morons. We’re totally unprepared for a a John QAnon insurrectionist takeover of public hospitals.

Delighted to report I’ve been recalled to my physical office to perform the job that I’ve been doing fully remote for 18 months on Monday. Get to enjoy being masked all day and sheltering in place and not being allowed to gather with other employees for meetings due to the danger (yet I am in shared office space), been issued a web cam so I can video conference with my colleagues who have also been recalled. Confirmed some co-workers are anti-vax, no mandate, only weekly testing for unvaxxed. And this is higher ed.

Cool, glad the pandemic is over, except not over, but also over.

Sounds like you need to report to the Business and Management thread and/or the Great Resignation thread.

Hey we need you to come into work to go on this webcam and video conferencing everybody is not something I can do without blowing a gasket and possibly getting fired so you’re better than me.

You might have missed this

Sage expected hospitalisations in England to peak somewhere near the lower range, namely 2,000 a day, but no sooner was the modelling complete than hospitalisations began to fall. The decline was unexpected. What it suggests is that – for now – the effect of unlocking on fuelling the epidemic is more than offset by the combination of people’s behaviour and immunity, whether from vaccination or infection.

I thought a runny nose meant it wasn’t covid?

How is this relevant?

How is it relevant to a discussion in a covid thread about how covid admissions are showing a sustained decline?

lol?

Relevant to my post obviously. Thought I missed some reference you were making but it seems like no. :+1:

This is my shocked face

Wait so one of the bona fide caliphates of the anti-vaxx movement was a producer for the show The Doctors?

Wouldn’t that make the person the most medically qualified antivaxxer in the world?

Probably in the same way that Michael Bay would be considered an expert on combat.

It’s so hard to isolate out when there is an unvaxxed population side by side. How well vaxxed can transmit to vaxxed is the question without any major spewers running around.

Is that shitshow still on?

Yes and apparently it’s a Dr. Phil brainchild.

not necessarily though. The error bars around how infectious delta is are still quite large, and even more so for specific subgroups like those who have been infected and those who are vaccinated. We’ll see.
