    Sigh.  I'm back to being discouraged as hell.

    We're obviously not capable of stemming the tide of cases in the US.  We're just not.  It's beyond us.  We're either stupid, selfish, or a toxic cocktail of both, at a high enough level to ensure that plenty of folks are going to continue to get sick, increasing steadily.

    The potential news that we may not get post-infection immunity is really fucking discouraging.  That it may also translate to a vaccine not working well is really discouraging.

    The news as to the speed of a vaccine being mass-produced is likewise discouraging -- even if it cranks through, maybe only 2 billion doses by the middle of 2021?  That leaves 5 billion people still susceptible.

    We're not getting back to anything near normal for not weeks or months, but maybe YEARS.  Physically, mentally, and economically, we're just at the BEGINNING of the suffering, with no end in reasonable sight.  

    I am going to get really drunk this weekend.

    The uptick we saw last week was primarily the Memorial Day weekend bump. This week when it hockey sticks up even harder, THAT's the bulk of the impact from protests.

    But yeah, I'd consider protesting against unchecked police brutality, murders, and racism to be far more essential than overpaying for miller/coors/bud lite and shitty well cocktails.

    I can't keep up, are we social distancing this week or not? Because last week and the week before, it was totally fine if we weren't.

    It depends....on whether your a protester or trying to save your business and make a living

    If you got one as a kid, you don’t need another, right?  Or is this some sort of booster?

    and let me understand this correctly- we developed the mmr vaccine in 1971 and inoculated children, but never bothered with adults?

    Never been there, sorry.

    After three months working full days from home, Son & DIL just drove down to SPI yesterday afternoon. The beach was not crowded at all at dusk:

    Kids occasionally get hyperinflammatory immune responses after illnesses like rheumatic/scarlet fever, Henoch Schonlein purpura or Guillan Barre syndrome. They’re rare complications of illnesses such as strep throat, flu, colds, chicken pox, etc. 

    Kids have been getting these reactions to viral and bacterial illnesses since the beginning of time and they shouldn’t factor in the decision whether or not to open schools.

    now you did it...you went and posted something "inflammatory"

    Yeah, unless you are quarantining the staff of those retirement homes, some of them are going to come home, handle stuff their snot-encrusted kids did, bang their spouse who may work with the public in some capacity, hang out with their friends watching the ballgame in a living room filled to capacity, etc., etc.  And if they are having to do lots of sanitizing at work, you can bet some of them don't want to do that shit at home.  

     

     

    Is that what they are doing for hospital workers? Are they self quarantining? All of the janitors, kitchen employees, business people, doctors and nurses are self quarantining?

    short answer......no

  7. this video shot off the Hwy  84 bridge Saturday evening between Post and Snyder, it the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos (usually a dried up stream) that feeds lake Alan Henry (Justiceburg Tx). Needless to say Lake Alan Henry is 2' into its flood plain. Next Lake down the river is Possum Kingdom I believe
