  1. Sorry if this is beyond the statute of limitations for a reply, but tapa isn't good at notifying posters when you're mentioned or have a dm... This is the slide that produced the original story: link: MI COVID response Data and modeling update (michigan.gov) What I'm still unclear on is their methodology. Based on the footnote in the lower left, it seems as though they're counting cases from the 5-18 age group and then applying it to the public school area that those cases are originating in. So, in ATX terms, if a 10 year old in zip code 78758 gets sick, they'd see that as a case for a school with "masks required" even if that kid went to private school with a lax mask policy or was home schooled. So the article was printed based on that slide. Michigan then continued the study, as it's relatively easy to do once you have the dataset set up. Through 12/6 here is the same slide. link: MI COVID response Data and modeling update (michigan.gov) And this was presented really before Omicron took off. I'd suspect they'll update it again in the near future and the lines will still overlap. The second graph doesn't mean masks don't work, just like the first graph doesn't mean that masks do work. The study was flawed in their data collection. After doing some digging on why they weren't pulling data directly from school district data, I found my answer when I ran across this article: How many COVID cases are in Michigan schools? State has no idea anymore | Bridge Michigan Basically, if you really want to present an argument as gospel, there's a dataset out there that will support your claim (which is why we have crazies everywhere).
  2. Given that this study is pre omicron, I'd like to see the data refreshed. EDIT: Looks like they did update the data. By Mid December there was almost no distinction between districts with mandates, partial mandates or no mandates. Moral of the story is there are no absolutes, don't try to spike the covid football, and check the dates on story that show up as "new" https://www.michigan.gov/documents/coronavirus/20211214_Data_and_modeling_update_vMEDIA_743631_7.pdf#page=51
  3. What's the rule in NYC for international travelers coming into the city for vacation? I don't think French or Spanish 8 year olds can get the vaccine in their home country, so is their family shit out of luck or is there an exemption?
  4. How much were the tickets and how much was the food? $2 was probably low, but if a family of 5 went to a night movie, over half of that was on the tickets. We're tipping on tickets now?
  5. It's a bounce house rental place isn't it?
  6. I guess lowell and lance need some tape for their SEC network interviews?
  7. You dont want to hear the history of Licon doing the worm at Sul Ross?
  8. Refs need to get WEbber off the fucking court
  9. incidental bullshit. move on
  10. That chart has to be "based on eligibility", right? Many countries aren't vaccinating their youth. I don't think Mexico is vaccinating under 18, which makes up a good % of their population.
  11. good deal... Sould provide a good prevalence data set compared to the other area high schools.
  12. Are these random tests or people who don't go to McCallum and don't feel well and need to test?
  13. No, I'm currently morally superior to those who have caught it.. until, of course, I catch it. Frankly I'm surprised I haven't caught it yet
  14. I'll try to find it, but I thought I remember one of the legalization bills from a recent TX lege session was written by a hardcore Christian who argued marijuana was created by God, so it was fine. I could've been high at the time though. Edit:. Found it. From 2015....
  15. According to the WaPo, there's a comma in Gorsuch's quote. "Hundreds, thousands of people..." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/08/sotomayors-false-claim-that-over-100000-children-are-serious-condition-with-covid/
  16. what's the point Sotomayor is trying to make?
  17. Wordle 203 2/6 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. They also asked to double up your masks if you don't have those. Seems like a round about way to say cloth masks don't do much.
  19. I bet that dude is just going to keep catching all the variants...
  20. I read out of 1200 tests, one third were positive yesterday. Would like to know how bad or non existent their symptoms were.
  21. I dont think AISD can afford to go virtual. Plus, Elizade said AISD follows the science. It would be rather unscientific to stop in-person learning due to covid.
  22. The Courier font is a nice touch.
  23. Based on the CDC's revised prevalence of omicron, are most places still fighting Delta?
  24. Oh man, the VAERS database is riddled with that kind of stuff. "My 85 year old dad got the COVID vaccine. He fell and broke his hip two days later." Similarly, in the 5-11 aged Pfizer trial, one of the kids broke his/her arm. Obviously (to most people) that's not a side effect of the vaccine, but it still had to be logged.
