Coronavirus Thread V: A Shot in the Arm (READ OP)

[Ethel mermania]

Mrs mermania went for her second shot an hour ago. I get my second on Thursday

[Borderlands of Rojava]

Thanks to a stupid no good antimasker and her friend, I had to get my nose raped and a friend of mine and his family are in serious danger. Damn it.

Did you get tested i take it? Do you feel sick at all? Day of my test i did have an off throat, which was the first symptom that materialised for me.

I feel sore but that's probably from working out. And I feel tired but I always am tired after work. And I felt hot but that's cause I look like Kenny right now. Nothing was out of the ordinary and the test came back negative. My nose kinda hurts though.

Active COVID-19 cases in WV below 7,000 for the first time since Nov. 8

Additionally, there are only 225 people who are currently hospitalized with COVD-19 in WV, and only 59 of those people are in ICU. Zero deaths in the past 24 hours.

I suppose it's about time to mention it if anyone hasn't heard it before...sadly, the COVID Tracking Project is closing its doors on 3/7 and will not be providing any more data after that date. It will still be online but its sources and alternatives will still be available. This website has been a Godsend to me alongside the CDC and Johns Hopkins in terms of evaluating trends and data at various levels and will be sorely missed.

That being said, if anyone wants some humor to brighten their day, take a look at this: https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/was ... CJE63HYWE/

Doot doot lol...this has to be the stupidest, most ill-conceived form of COVID superstition I have ever seen.

"Nose raped"...come on, get over yourself Rojava, unless that person was actually symptomatic and in your presence for an extended period of time your chances of getting COVID are pretty much zero and unless you are basically on death's door your chances of anything worse than a mild illness is basically zero. Time to wake up and get out of the COVID bullshit zone. That terminology is also incredibly insulting to the huge number of people who have been victims of domestic violence, including sexual violence, during the disastrous lockdowns implemented in the US and other countries.

And unless your friend and his family are all 80-100 year olds with advanced dementia and COPD or a host of other life-threatening comorbidities there is no "serious danger" to them.

Well? Excluding the ex-president supporters; diid anybody think it would be over this year?

It already is over in the developing world where they don't have the luxury of WFH, Instacart and Doordash.

I was hopeful. Not so much anymore, though.

I wasn’t. I expect covid to morph into the flu shot for the year.

I was starting to get hopeful too. Should have learned from my past mistakes.

Don't ever get your hopes up for anything, no matter how promising it seems.

If a Danish study that is still in pre-peer review status is correct in its assumptions regarding the so-called flu pandemic of 1889-1890 this will become a new cold virus like its MRCA over time.

Let's all take a breath and remind ourselves that no matter what ultimately happens this isn't exactly the Black Death 2.0, though.

Seriously all, get over all this moping and pandemic-by-press release bullshit. The fact is, COVID is basically over in terms of posing a threat to its most vulnerable populations...whether via vaccine, treatment or just plaiin herd immunity hospitalizations are falling at an accelerating pace worldwide. Cases mean nothing if nobody is getting seriously ill or hospitalized.

This isn't the Black Death. We could have literally done NOTHING about it and survived as a species just like every other pandemic disease in human history.

Sixteen days until the one year anniversary of the stay-at-home measures being first announced in my county...

That was probably smarter.

Or, only get your hopes up if the scientists agree with you.

Two weeks to slow the spread!

What is interesting is the stay at home orders show how many people are truly pathetic.

I build a deck on my front yard. Somebody turned it into the city. The inspectors came out and said the work was great; however.....

They also said the complaints have sky rocketed. His workload has sextupled and most of it is BS.

Yeah you must not know about long haulers. While my chances of death are low, the chance of a very miserable event, hospitalization or becoming a long hauler are not, facts you often leave out of your propaganda campaign against stopping this deadly virus that killed 500,000 people in America in one year, but please tell me how i should not be worried while the first person confirmed to be sick in my inner circle fights for their life in a hospital.

I'm not even sure I want to get my hopes up for that. Seems like every time I get my hopes up for something I get let down.

Twitter to label COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, implement a 5-strike policy

The platform will begin applying the labels Monday, using human review at first and eventually using automated tools as well.

Labels may link to curated content on vaccines and official public health information.
Individuals will be notified if their tweet has resulted in a strike. Users will get five strikes, and the level of punishment will go from no action to different lengths of account lockouts to total suspension. Users can submit appeals.

JFC there are NSG posters on here that lost their family members, their friends, and their relatives to Covid. Your cold-hearted post makes me weep for humanity.

I've been sexually assaulted before. Stop weaponizing other people's experiences to push your anti-lockdown agenda. It's manipulative and rude and way more disrespectful than whatever Rojava's babbling about.

Rojava's probably worrying a little more than necessary, but that's neither here nor there. It doesn't excuse the condescending guilt trip you're giving him in reply.

In the context it seems pretty clear Rojava is talking about having a swab shoved up his nose.

Maybe if you hadn't misread it as "infecting other people with covid is rape" you wouldn't have got angry and got red ink on you? Rojava often uses coarse phrases, so your own safety might be best served by putting the fellow on Ignore.
