I love that movie but I will fight you over it. Douglas Fairbanks is the best.

Sometimes I get a creepy feeling, and wonder⌠what if the silly summer hypothesis was somewhat correct. What if our 1000 deaths a day are the expression of a warm, summer climate with everyone outdoors more and less enclosed contact?
What will happen this fall, when everyone retreats back indoors, the entire nation exposed. Will every major city turn into New York as it was in March?

Now take that thought and combine it with onrushing flu season. I am concerned that this fall will be brutal.

Well, looking at average temperatures, at least where I am, November is a mirror for March. If there is a cooler-weather resurgence, I hate to think of what that will mean for the election, as well.

Maybe it will motivate reasonable people to catch up on their vaccinations and not just prevent those diseases but provide some additional protections to their families.

My local news reported on this morning (wgn9). They briefly mentioned the study and neck gaiters at the start, then showed a picture montage of people wearing a variety masks while saying âthey dont workâ. They were referring to the gaiter variety but anyone who missed the two-second intro would easily assume all masks are bad.

If states return to lockdown mode after the spikes, I hope that would reduce the risk of flu, too. Iâm hearing people saying they wonât go out to a doctorâs office to avoid coming into contact with others, so less people might get the flu shot.

The covid precautions have dramatically reduced the routine URI-type stuff we usually see at this point in the year. So it will depend largely on how many states and localities take this seriously, and how many just follow âit is what it is.â You know, âWhat the hell, Maude. If he dies, he dies!â

This is an interesting read, not for the actual data, which is squishy, but for the clarity with which it lays out just how bad we are at collecting data. It is true WDKS, but part of that is because, apparently, we do not want to know shit. I had not previously realized just how bad it really is. Some form of standardization would be nice, but that would require leadership, and well, yeah, that ainât happening. After all, âitâs just going to go away, like magic.â So who needs accurate info on something that is just going to go away?
Of course, there is also this nonsense

Long before Sheriff Billy Woods decided to endanger Marion County by ordering his officers to stop wearing facemasks, he grew a stupid mustache and swanned about in public showing it off.
When people show you who they are demonstrate criminally poor judgement, believe them donât fucking elect them Sheriff.

If they want to die, why do they have to take others with them?

I would be rooting for him to catch it first and worst, but he might spread it to others, so perhaps an accident unholstering?

If you search upstream, youâll find somewhere a test from very early on in the mask debate which looked at different materials. Cotton plus a synthetic or cotton plus silk were the best performing materials, and the appendix of the paper even gave the exact sources for the material tested.
Maybe that helps.
ETA:
Correct.
I just remembered, paper I mentioned is not upstream in this topic (or its predecessor), but in a mask topic. Will look for it. If anyone is faster than me, please feel free to insert.

Death cultâs gonna death cult.
Iâm pretty sure they have a trading card game- the title of this card is Murder-Suicide by Cop - Pandemic Style.
I read this as â⌠perhaps an accident upholstering?â which was puzzling and hilarious and kinda made my morning.

They saw that this hits minorities harder that whites, and so they want full infection. Theyâre not weird, or delusional, or crazy. Theyâre genocidal.

Pinging @DukeTrout, @aLynHall, @anon87143080, @d_r, @subextraordinaire, @gatto, @Ratel, and basically everyone who is going to have people asking them about masks because of the recent âgaiters/masksâ thing.
HTH.
It does have a bloody âshopping listâ, and just look at the time it was publishedâŚ
