Is this the one that worked for SAP? Talk about coughing away a good job.

Conventional wisdom seems to be that COVID-19 is going endemic, which may not be as scary as it sounds.

The Rockies may tumble,
Gibraltar may crumble
Theyā€™re only made of clay
But our love COVID is here to stay

At this point, Iā€™m more scared of the next pandemic. Weā€™ve shown our cards as to how we (collectively) are going to handle it, and itā€™s not good.

I will say that this is a rare society wide problem that directly impacts the affluent technocrats. One trend that was on the rise pre-COVID was the top 10% pulling the drawbridge up behind then and abandoning everyone else in service to the top 1% who are in service to the top .1%, etc. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if the next step from the affluent class is to build a set of controls that allow them to separate themselves in security in the next pandemic. Iā€™m not sure what that looks like but they arenā€™t going to try to build a broad based pandemic safety net. Theyā€™re going to think of how to better protect themselves and their lifestyles.

Iā€™m really worried about a new generation of anti-vax offspring that create a foothold for shit like measles to come back. The same guys who refuse to get the COVID vaccine because of Facebook disinfo are going to find that itā€™s pretty easy to opt out of childhood vaccinations for BS reasons. Itā€™s clear that we have unbelievable technological solutions for stopping these things and absolutely zero political will to implement any of them.

Play chess? Take pictures? Wtf Howard.

It is from westerns. The good and bad guys were often delineated by the color of their cowboy hat.

Oh boy

I work with some people on the front lines of variant monitoring. Delta has outcompeted lambda ~everywhere in the US. Iā€™ll check in and see if thereā€™s evidence of mu starting to outcompete delta. It was pretty much inevitable that mu was going to be found here, given our severe lack of travel restrictions, but itā€™s only all that scary if it starts outcompeting delta.
