spewed about a half a gallon out of my tank and onto the ground. [18:51] DaemonFC[m] Ugh. [18:51] DaemonFC[m] I need to get my groceries in and take a shower now. ● Feb 13 [19:03] DaemonFC[m] I guess I might as well keep Mandy registered in Lake County AllVax, schestowitz [19:03] DaemonFC[m] It will tell you when you can make a COVID vaccine appointment, not make one for you. [19:04] DaemonFC[m] So it will send me an email about Mandy and then I'll know exactly how long we would have had to wait. [19:04] DaemonFC[m] No harm done because if the appointments fill up them you're not causing scheduling issues for anyone else. [19:06] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: My biggest fear was that we'd have a fourth wave because of all of these new COVID strains. [19:07] DaemonFC[m] Causing this dip to be another mirage because the new ones spread so fast. [19:07] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: Also, the banks appear to not like Brave, even though it says it's Chrome. [19:07] DaemonFC[m] Not sure if they're ganging up on it or just more UA fragility. Like, it doesn't report the very latest Chrome or something. [19:08] DaemonFC[m] We're back to IE 6 with banks. [19:08] DaemonFC[m] "Oh, you're using Firefox? Upgrade to IE 6 to stay secure!" [19:08] MinceR lol [19:10] DaemonFC[m] MinceR: I put in user agent overrides so it reports Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, and it lets me do my online banking. [19:10] DaemonFC[m] So it whitelists Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. [19:10] DaemonFC[m] But if you're even slightly behind the latest release of Chrome, it starts barking at you.

It cost about $500 in repairs all last year, and that's like one car payment, not to say anything about the extra $100 insurance each month.

[20:29] DaemonFC[m] "It's still the law and the vaccine fails to protect about 1 in 10 people that get it." [20:29] DaemonFC[m] According to the Israeli government, out of 520,000 people who have had both doses of the Pfizer shot, 523 have later been diagnosed with COVID, but nobody in the 523 got a serious case or was hospitalized. [20:30] DaemonFC[m] I saw another report that those who still get COVID anyway after both shots tend to have about 25% the viral load of an unvaccinated patient who tests positive. [20:31] DaemonFC[m] So it appears that it's better at preventing the body from becoming overwhelmed with COVID than it is at preventing it entirely. [20:31] DaemonFC[m] The US is vaccinating about 18 times as many people per day now as new confirmed cases. [20:32] DaemonFC[m] But since each person needs two shots, you should really phrase that "The vaccination is moving ahead at roughly 9 times the spread of the disease itself.". [20:32] superkuh It's promising. [20:33] DaemonFC[m] The hope is that by prioritizing the people who come into repeated contact with others a lot without proper social distancing, then eventually, you break that chain of infection. [20:33] superkuh My extreme locale of 40k people has 4200 confirmed infections of sars-cov-2 and 5000 with the first half of their vaccination. [20:33] DaemonFC[m] You vaccinate one cashier at a grocery store and they might not spread it to 100 people during the course of an infection, who in turn spread it to others. [20:33] DaemonFC[m] You need to get it to the people who are spreading it to the most other people. [20:34] superkuh Unfortunately the people spreading it to the most other people are those that disregard precautions. [20:34] DaemonFC[m] mjg59 was incorrect in saying we should prioritize the people who will probably die, because by the time we get done dicking around with them, we'll have uncontained spread that will cause as many or more deaths anyway, and younger people will be the ones dying. [20:35] DaemonFC[m] And since there's not enough to go around, you should really prioritize people based on how long they statistically will naturally live barring accident or injury or something. [20:35] DaemonFC[m] Most of the people at CVS yesterday were old people, cashing Social Security checks and staying home all day, most likely. [20:36] DaemonFC[m] Maybe they're at risk during the grocery shopping if they don't do it online, but other than that, not really. [20:36] DaemonFC[m] And we'll never get this economy going again by just doing them, and so more suicides. [20:37] DaemonFC[m] They should be focused, laser focused, on getting those doses to senior citizens, factory and warehouse workers, truck drivers, and people working at retail who come into repeated contact with many strangers each day. [20:37] DaemonFC[m] But if we have to prioritize more than that, it should be senior citizens who are out of the loop until there's more. [20:38] DaemonFC[m] Part of the reason why we had a glut of unused doses even with a shortage is they'll let fucking anybody be a nurse these days, no matter how little they regard science. [20:39] DaemonFC[m] And old people are sitting around watching Fox and Newsmax and think the black helicopters are coming from the North American Union to give them microchips. [20:40] DaemonFC[m] I have mixed feelings still, but the nastier and faster spreading variants out there tell me time's up and in lack of a better option, this is what we have. [20:40] DaemonFC[m] And it seems to not be as bad as it could have been, so far, given how little time was spent on research. [20:40] DaemonFC[m] If anyone is going to have to put one on the shelf, it'll be the UK. [20:41] DaemonFC[m] I mean, unless they can keep the South Africa variant out of the country, the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine isn't going to help them very much. [20:41] DaemonFC[m] The government of South Africa itself canceled the vaccination campaign because the Oxford-AZ vaccine does so little against it. [20:43] DaemonFC[m] As far as MinceR saying less pollution, not really. [20:43] DaemonFC[m] The virus only kills 2% of the people it infects, and it's lopsided to people who only had a few years left anyway. [20:44] DaemonFC[m] Even if something killed 99.9% of the humans on the planet, and only 0.1% survived, we'd be back to 7 billion people in 10,000 years or so. [20:44] DaemonFC[m] Now, I suppose you can say "Well, the recession is causing birth rates to collapse.", but it won't be enough and whenever we get this figured out and the economy improves, history suggests there will be a rebound that overcompensates. [20:46] DaemonFC[m] Plus, it's resulted in the need for inefficient travel to get the vaccine, as schestowitz pointed out, because the morons in charge are sending it all downstate. [20:46] DaemonFC[m] Plus, people are fucking gross and throw their old used masks on the ground when they're done with them. [20:48] DaemonFC[m] I've been using cloth masks and just washing in hot water and detergent each time I get back (toss it in a bin and do a load of face masks), then I put them all in my laundry spinner to get the water out so the dryer doesn't degrade them. [20:49] DaemonFC[m] The big problem that reduces the efficiency of the mask for the wearer isn't so much of the mask as they're one size fits all and they're too loose, causing leakage around the sides. So I tied knots on both of the loops to make them fit tightly around my face. [20:50] DaemonFC[m] Outside of a medical setting, the KF94, KN95, and N95 are overkill. Plus, you see people out in public with these under their noses now. [20:50] DaemonFC[m] These are the people who put condoms in the dishwasher. [20:50] DaemonFC[m] They're pointing themselves out.

[23:11] DaemonFC[m] I told the lady at the desk, "You know that this will catch less than 2% of the people who have COVID-19, right? And that they've all been going through the building talking to people and touching things up until this point.". [23:12] DaemonFC[m] Only about 30% of people with COVID who have symptoms ever run a high fever, and most of them only do for about 1 day out of the 15 or so that they're highly infectious. [23:12] MinceR the sinopharm vaccine is so bad the government of nazi hungary didn't even dare let the hungarian authority approve it [23:13] MinceR they allowed it based on the word of a politician [23:13] DaemonFC[m] Then you'll have people who know they have COVID but also don't want to miss their appointment, so if they are running a fever that day, they take a few ibuprofen tablets. [23:13] DaemonFC[m] So, catching 2% with a thermometer might be optimistic. [23:15] DaemonFC[m] 80% have no symptoms. [23:15] DaemonFC[m] Out of the 20% who have symptoms, 30% of them have a fever, usually for 1/15th of their infectious period. [23:15] DaemonFC[m] Then you subtract the dishonest people who pop some fever reducers. [23:16] DaemonFC[m] Then you take low wage employers who are doing this and will force people off for two weeks with no pay if they run a fever. [23:17] DaemonFC[m] Now you know how things got so bad. [23:17] DaemonFC[m] Wasn't just Trump. It was a nation where Trump was even possible. [23:17] MinceR sadly, trumpism is not limited to the usa, far from it [23:17] DaemonFC[m] 46% voted for this a second time. [23:18] DaemonFC[m] It doesn't take nearly that many unenlightened selfish dimwits to undermine Coronavirus response no matter what the government feels like doing. [23:18] DaemonFC[m] No, Hungary is even worse, because the legislature has super-majorities of the same party, always. [23:19] DaemonFC[m] Getting a bad president is survivable assuming everything else holds. [23:19] DaemonFC[m] Having the other branches of government as rubber stamps is what makes things impossible to fix. [23:20] MinceR indeed [23:27] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz: All of the CVS vaccination sites are now fully booked. [23:27] DaemonFC[m] I mean, nobody verified anything. I could have lied and said I was in group 1b and I'm sure people do. [23:28] DaemonFC[m] I realize that there are people in higher risk groups and I don't want to skip ahead. [23:28] DaemonFC[m] I would take it if there was plenty to go around, but there's just not right now. Maybe that will change in the next few months. [23:29] DaemonFC[m] Until then I'm just going to have to get Mandy vaccinated so he's not at risk and not a risk to me and keep my head down for a while. [23:29] DaemonFC[m] It's actually not much better right now than it usually is. [23:30] DaemonFC[m] Walmart shelves are looking a little better than they have been.
