Wrong thread. -_-

Indonesia is threatening fines and refusal of social aid to those who refuse vaccination.

Eh, more old people are also being condemned to life in old people homes these days too.

Like when Cuomo made NY old folk's homes take in COVID patients and then lied about how many people were infected? Spoiler: it killed about as many people as you'd expect.

[TamerVirus]

Now NY's got it's own variant of it's own!


Aw fuck

[McTraveller]

I'm hoping that is the official name of the variant. 

[LordBaal]

Cuomo strain?

I see the caseload numbers rising again after we barely flattened the curve from the winter festivus, and I want to cry. Saw someone on Twitter, about 35 years old, who said that he knew 5 people who died, and someone replied to him saying that 6 people they cared about had died of suicide in lockdown.

I don't know what to say, I'm grateful I haven't lost a single person, I actually only seem to know one friend who has even had it, and a different friend who had a contact who died. But in my circle, we're healthy. I'm very tired.

My mother's cousins have all had exceptionally bad cases. No sooner than one was let out of the ER (having barely survived, and no doubt owing their life to the first dose of the vaccine they got a few weeks prior to infection), then her husband and son were hit with it, hard (and neither had gotten vaccinated yet). The husband has passed away, the son is in the ER in the room next to where his mother was staying.

On the, uh, brighter side my mother and sister are scheduled for March 11th and 12th, respectively, while I just received mine today. Moderna. Feeling fine so far! Big needle though. Flashbacks to getting vaccinated for Bird Flu as a kid.

Got my first shot, Pfizer flavor.

Wife now has both shots.

My mom got her first today. My town is at 20% vaccination right now. I will probably wait a while longer yet before I sign up. She's in her 60s so I imagine that's the segment of the general populace we're at for the moment.

Two kids in my school left with fevers and I was there for the "sanitization" of the classroom. A dude in sandals sprayed bleach-water around the desks the kids sat on. Not the chairs or even the tops of the desks... I'm feeling a bit less confident about how well they'll manage the next wave here.

I wouldn't worry about it, since the virus is not transmitted by surfaces anyway.

[LordBaal]

Here the first vaccinated are of course the higher members of the party. Medical workers or priority people be dammned.

There is already gossip of regular mortals like me paying to get ahead in the queues (or vaccinated at all), in big fat dollars.

COVID-19 spreads less commonly through contact with contaminated surfaces

    - Respiratory droplets can also land on surfaces and objects. It is possible that a person could get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes.
    - Spread from touching surfaces is not thought to be a common way that COVID-19 spreads

Enough of the bullshit.  Someone could die as a result of your misinformation.  Many thousands have already died because political players couldn't convey accurate information, let's not sink to their level.

Cheers, this was basically my concern - kids spit and are dirty. I know my school was just doing it as a precaution and didn't expect the students to be transmitting Covid (photos were also taken to prove the school is taking precautions - pretty common practice in China. The photos included several of sandalsman not even spraying and just waving the machine around) but yeah, not inspiring a lot of confidence. I don't expect my school to be the worst, either. We're new and have a lot of investors so the head honcho is pretty carefree with spending - while other schools may cut corners on things like this.
