    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Someone tell them that nobody cares about Covid any more. We are all watching rooting for Ukraine right now.

I a related story, Florida also became the first state to require students to be on bath salts to receive a high school diploma.  "Our job is to prepare the young people of Florida to fully participate in the Florida economy, and our research indicates this is what it takes to put them on an even-footing with other Floridians," said Florida Education Commissioner Dr. Algernop Krieger.

Wtf are they even protesting at this point? I'm in SoCal & we don't even have mask mandates.

Fucking dammit. Masks while traveling commercial for another month at least. It’s become hit or miss whether the flight crew enforce masks now in my experience.

 I was ready to be done.

Quote

The key factor determining how Americans have handled COVID-19 — more than race, education or even political affiliation — is where they get their news, according to an analysis of two years of data from our Axios/Ipsos Coronavirus Index.

Why it matters: Partisan divisions weaken U.S. leaders' ability to deal with such existential crises — and the modern media landscape feeds that cycle.

By the numbers: In March 2020, when everything changed, roughly nine in 10 Americans, regardless of their preferred media outlet, said they trusted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

Quote

Within weeks, though, that trust was plunging among Americans who mostly watch Fox News or other conservative outlets, as well as those who cited no source.

By the end of last month, just 16% of those who said they get most of their news from Fox or other conservative outlets still said they trust the CDC, compared to 77% of those who favor network news and major national newspapers and 87% of those who primarily watch CNN or MSNBC.

 

Quote

People who primarily got their news from Fox or other conservative media outlets were also more likely to be unvaccinated, and to report that they had tested positive for COVID-19 at some point during the pandemic.

By the end of last month, 77% of respondents overall said they’d been at least partially vaccinated. For Republicans and for watchers of Fox and other conservative media, it was about 10 percentage points lower.

The highest vaccination rates among respondents were Democrats (87%) and those whose primary news sources were network TV or major national newspapers (86%). The lowest vaccination rate (57%) was among those saying they had no primary source for news.

 

 

Spoiler

Americans' perceived risk from COVID peaked during the spike in cases in November and December of 2020, when 71% of respondents said returning to normal pre-COVID routines was a large or moderate risk.

The lowest perceived risk was June 2021, after vaccines became widely available but before the Delta wave, when 29% perceived a large or moderate risk. We are now somewhere in between, with roughly half (48%) of Americans perceiving their old routines to be risky.

 

America changed because of the pandemic, and the way we view health, education and the workplace may be permanently altered.

A significant segment of society is still masking outside the home with all indications they'll keep doing so on airplanes, in crowds and if they feel ill, even after mandates are gone.

The crisis sped a technological revolution around work. Expectations about remote and hybrid work may be forever changed.

The pandemic — and public health officials' and employers’ push for vaccinations — also challenged people's perceptions about the freedom to make choices about their own bodies. And it underscored the differences between individual states and between urban, suburban and rural attitudes.

What they're saying: "This is the biggest forced behavior change we've seen in American history since World War II," said Ipsos pollster and senior vice president Chris Jackson. 

"But there's also ways that preexisting American society imposed its structure on the issue," he said. "America was a very divided, partisan country before COVID came along and that structure really imposed itself on how we responded.

"It does illustrate the power of elite messengers to shape public opinion," from former President Trump and President Biden to dominant media personalities, Jackson said. "That shaped how America viewed the pandemic." 

"America changed and is still changed," said Cliff Young, president of Ipsos U.S. Public Affairs. "We will always be marked by this." 

"We are super-divided, hyper-partisan. We live in these split realities and that's a fact of life and it will be a fact of life looking into the medium or long term, whether it's a pandemic or some other crisis," Young said.

"The counterpoint is Ukraine right now. We still have partisan differences but a tendency for convergence.

"Maybe it's the type of existential threat that cuts to people's views of individual freedom — a fundamental value of 'don't tell me what to do.'"

The 7-day case average ever so slightly ticked up in Texas this week. Hopefully it's just a tick and not a trend upward again.

So, re the Europe spikes (seeing Germany, Austria, Netherlands).....what's up with that?  What's the current analysis/hypothesis?

He is just pissed that he starred in a show with Jason Bateman who was more popular than he was and had a better career. He also starred in a movie with Brad Pitt, where Brad Pitt surpasses him in that movie (and in real life).

While Pitt builds homes with Habitat for Humanity, he rides with truckers protesting shit that doesn’t exist. Just like his career.

It’s not entirely Biden’s fault. Corporate pressure to resume normalcy, pretend the pandemic is over, and get back to business as usual has clearly won the fight in the public policy realm. The Biden administration’s recent handling of Covid isn’t entirely different from Trump’s. Credit claim the economic numbers, ignore the ongoing mass death. Capitalism requires a blood sacrifice. It is what it is.

hey, pick up your mask.

hold on to your butts.

So, I'm to the point now that what I want to know is 2 things....#1, what are the hospitalization rates looking like with these upticks?  If positive tests are going back up but hospitalizations aren't, that's a pretty important data point.  Also I don't like roller coasters.  #2, where we saw this going crazy first was in South Africa, what's their chart look like?
