How can there not be a COVID-19 thread?

WRT my previous post here, it is interesting that this just popped up

Some other stupidity

I am disappointed DeWine
A naturopathic is NOT a physician.
 
You know that billboard that keeps a running track of the national debt?

There needs to be one that estimates the number of Covid deaths caused by disinformation from the Republican Party, right wing news and Trump.
I don’t actually but I understand the concept.
 
So this keeps getting better:


Collectively 277 private hospitals in Thailand have accepted pre-payments for 9.2M doses of Moderna, at about US$50 / dose....

So of course, based on that figure, the Private Hospitals Association which they're all members of, has organised for an order through the government (because they have to apparently)... of 5M doses... except 1.1M of those 5M are going to the Thai Red Cross to give away for free... So, 3.9M doses... after accepting payment for 9.2M doses. Each hospital gets 10K doses base, and then those that requested more than that many, will get a share of what's left based on demand.

Based on where we are, and how quickly we responded to the announcement from our hospital about it being available to pre-pay, I'm somewhat confident that we'll get ours, but its just another example of how fucking ridiculous shit is here.

I'm not saying they're all a bunch of incompetent money grubbing assholes and that I cannot wait to leave this fucking place...... but I'm certainly thinking it very loudly.
 
Anyone want to discuss the 3 TX House members who tested positive after flying maskless in a plane?
 
What do you want to discuss? That masks don‘t work? That vaccines don’t work? That Texas House Democrats don’t work?

Well, masks don't work if you don't wear them.

All I know is I declined to go out west to a conference because I wasn't willing to wear a mask for 6 hours (airport time plus flight), but these legislators all got on a plane together and even took a maskless "selfie" and posted it online. And now 3 have tested positive.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

No.

I’m concerned about this:

People need to get vaccinated. The Delta variant is more contagious and more dangerous to one’s health. For people refusing the vaccine, they need to wake up to reality - a concerted push by conservative media to encourage vaccination and stop lying about it could make a huge difference.

For people who are in a community where it just isn’t available or they cannot take a day off work to get it, or something like that - the government needs to reach out to those communities and make sure that nobody is getting left behind.

The sooner we get this done, the less likely it is that an Epsilon variant will emerge.

Aren't you bored about your own whining about your having to wear a mask?:) So just you know how sympathetic I am about your not wanting to wear a mask for 6 houts, my wife pulls 12 hour shifts in an N95 (the one with resistance) and my 3-year-old managed to finish a 12-hour plane trip without a single word of complaint.
 

Why not? Because Dems looked as dumb as they possibly could? Had that been a plane full of Republicans this place would be full of posts condemning them.

My concern about the DV is that I have the Pfizer jabs and it doesn't seem to be as effective against it.

Not whining. I simply made a decision not to go. And I'm Ok with it.

As for your wife, if she is in HC, then bless her for her sacrifice, but it also was a career choice. She should have known what she was getting into.

Stupid argument. The virus couldn't give a rats ass about what party you are in. And do you really want to litigate which party is the most irresponsible for the spread here? Get real.
