This is an amazing response to a tough situation:
I hate liking posts like yours because I actually hate posts like that but it’s the only way to to say I’m with you and our states suck.
Same and back at you…
A neighbor is working for a Gesundheitsamt in a large city. I so do not envy her.
Tempting fate is never a good idea.
Well he got his wish, he was never vaccinated
How to make it all the way through life without ever getting vaccinated…
God, this whole pandemic is depressing…
Less of a “like”, more of a fistbump of resigned solidarity.
NOW WHO WILL GUARD OUR BILLION-DOLLAR-PER-PRISONER EXTRAJUDICIAL DETENTION CAMPS CLEVERLY HIDDEN IN HOSTILE FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Two resources I wish I’d seen earlier. The first is very approachable for general questions about COVID-19.
COVID-19 Rapid Evidence Access Link - University of Toronto - Dala Lanna School of Public Health
REAL Notes are brief, high-level summaries of existing evidence and guidance that are prepared by our team in consultation with experts, drawing upon trusted sources and curated collections of COVID-19 research. We will consider questions that apply in general to population and community health as well as about the healthcare system
The other is from McMaster University, which has one of our leading Ontario research and teaching hospitals. This is much more detailed and oriented towards health policy decision makers.
We could have used these 2 years ago, eh?
I really wonder what China’s endgame for dealing with the virus is going to be, since they are still pursuing a strong “zero covid” policy which likely can’t last forever. If they do eventually lower their guard and allow it to spread as an endemic disease it’s likely that much of the effectivity of their (already not-great) domestic vaccines would have waned significantly by the time large numbers of people get exposed.
Pretty rough that the folks in Xi’an (with a population larger than all of Denmark and Norway combined!) can’t even leave their homes every couple days to get groceries. Imagine the logistics it must take to deliver food to that many homes.
Talk about a plot twist!
Not so great for the main protection, but a good booster. Huh.
Omicron’s ride or die Gov. Ron DeSantis appears to be M.I.A. He was last seen nearly two weeks ago
Think this might have something to do with it?
Holy shit, do these charts look terrifying.
