    Do two year olds learn how to communicate with others through their assholes?

    You really think the limited amount of time two year-olds might be wearing a mask would prevent them from learning to communicate? Where are all these stupid fragile kids coming from?

    Good point. I’m talking more about preschool aged kids.
     

    I think masking kids elementary and up is stupid, but probably not deleterious. 

    I guess it harms them to make them wear pants when they don’t want to as well

    Good catch. I did forget about the masks. In preschoolers there’s really no reason to force kids down to 2 years old to do that.  We’re the only country on the planet that recommends that. And it probably does harm them. 

    If a child gets emotionally traumatized from a mask that child is never going to pull himself up by his bootstraps

    How does the wealthiest country in human history run out of hospital beds? This has happened before during flu outbreaks. 

    How much excess capacity do you want to pay for to sit empty waiting on another bad flu season or pandemic? I mean you and yours don’t even want to pay for routine maintenance on the O&G / electric grid infrastructure, and it gets below freezing in Texas at least every couple of years

    In a couple weeks, the gaslighting will start.  Dems will claim they were against masking mandates and vaccine passports all along.

    3,000 people a day are dying.  Much higher than when "Deathsantis" got rid of mandates.

    Hypocritical pieces of shit.  They should be lined up and shot for what they've done to kids.

    You’re not really this stupid are you?

    Here's a news article.  I'm not aware of whether there has been peer review, etc.  It's possibly just a snapshot, and it could be wrong.  You're much more adept than I at reading between the lines.

    Omicron immunity

     

     

    I don’t put much stock in non clinical studies. If we see a re-emergence of Delta after omicron burns out then that study will have some credence. That’s not generally how these things work though

    There are indications that omicron doesn't confer long-term immunity, at least to the degree alpha & delta did, except perhaps to omicron itself.

    Link? There is no rational basis to think this would be correct.

    I can hope that it will be. And I suppose I could make a reasonable prediction that it will be. But I wouldn't set my confidence at anything significantly above 50%. And if I'm the person that is going to be responsible for a concert where thousands of people are going to congregate, I might not be willing to rely on that assumption/prediction. Again, folks have been claiming from the very beginning that this thing is just going to peter out any day now. I think I'm justified in being skeptical of anyone who has a high degree of confidence in that conclusion at this point. What I'd want to see is a very solid downward trend before I'm going to put a high confidence value on that prediction. 

    Absent a breakout variant that causes much more severe disease this shit is over. I’m 90% confident that is what we will see. Hospitals are wide open for elective cases. Reported infections from the omicron surge are plummeting and hospitalized, ICU, and deaths will follow. Anyone canceling a nationwide or worldwide tour at this point is worried about shit other than Covid

    Fuck anti vaxers and anyone who has helped prolong this shit. Found out this morning that yet another show i had tickets to April is now canceled. I've been doing my part and being good. I'd like to go to a fucking show, but the "muh freedoms" assholes won't allow it

    Why cancel a show in April? Sounds like they are using Covid as an excuse for something else

    Somebody I occasionally follow is saying that with Pence making the statements he did with the audience he had, and now Mitch and some other Republican Senators making these statements about the RNC and about January 6th, that it feels like some Republicans are trying to get way ahead of something big.  He thinks that Pence, Mitch, etc. are hearing things out of the Jan. 6 Committee that have not hit the media/general public yet.  He pulled the "check back tomorrow where I'll discuss it in more detail" crap.

    Is this the Mar-a-Lago document bullshit, or does it feel like something bigger?  He could just be bullshitting (insert narrator) but it is interesting timing, and Pence, Mitch, etc., would definitely know what is going on within the Committee and/or what they have seen and/or are getting from the National Archives.

    It’s piss
