Covid-19

[AWP]

One good thing about the election: we aren't being bombarded with 'Rona "news."

A co-worker's 48 YO ex-wife, smoker for 30 years, tested positive. She's lost her sense of taste and smell and their 16 YO son is sick as a dog, but they aren't testing him because "it's probably the flu."

Let's just say that the people who run the University of Manchester (UK) are bumbling idiots. Mid last month a student takes their own life. And then last night, they installed a lockdown fence. After the angry reaction from students and parents this morning the University admin was like: "Oh, sorry, we stupid, we'll take it down." The student body said, no, we'll take it down for you.

"What's the best way to protect our citizens?"
"Lock them up against their will?"
"Brilliant!"

Executive Order 9066 has entered the chat

Definitely seems like a very detached governing body; too insulated during their thinking process

Is the election over already?! <Checking the news and the calendar>

Clearly it was never about the virus and all about who was in office.

I may have mentioned this earlier, but your chance of exposure on an airplane is extremely minimal because of how often new air is circulated into the cabin and old air is flushed.

True, wife is a AA flight attendant, forced air circulation and updated filters. She has been flying a full schedule during the Corona...no issues.

With this new data on air circulation on Jets.....I have that much more respect for the level of commitment those Burning it down and passing out on the early flights out of Las Vegas have when you smell their farts all the way to RDU.....

And now Utah is shutting it all down. Another 14 days to kill the 'Rona!

I’ll never be able to articulate this the way the scientist did that I just listen to, but doing the shut down thing only slows the spreading of the virus, it does not kill it.

At the end of the day, we are trying to outsmart nature. Simon says, that never works.

I forget his name off the top of my head, but I remember the one epidemiologist on Rogan months ago saying (paraphrasing here) "A two week or so lockdown could kill this, if you managed 100% compliance, which is a Herculean task to get people to do."

Bret Weinstein was his name.

I mean, the Chinese could have killed this if they didn't lie to the world about it. But they did and then they did tons of shit to their own people while the rest of world fought COVID. Not that I think the West would have done a damn thing for the people of Hong Kong or the Uyghurs. Suffice to say, their response to SARS-COV-1 in which they also lied about, was much more rapid than this.

ETA: I'm struggling with the idea of this SARS-COV-2 vaccine being 90% effective, which is 30 points more effective than the flu vaccine.

Pfizer says early analysis shows its Covid-19 vaccine is more than 90% effective

With the way things are going here, something similar could be about to happen in New York. I heard this morning that we're at the highest infection rate since June.

@Salamie3 has the right of it, I think it was when Weinstein was talking about New Zealand's success in being able to do just that due to having much fewer people.

He's a biologist, though - you might have been confusing him with Michael Osterholm who, as it turns out, was just named to President-Elect Biden's Covid-19 Advisory Board.
