They certainly scored some Renegade points today

Can't say I completely disagree lifting much of the lockdown but walking back all regulations is strange.
Maybe they know something we don't.

My investigation into the delta varient continues.

I have observed a 98% mask usage in the street and disinfectant is plentiful.

However, bars and restaurants are full with little distancing.

Perhaps there is some connection between these observations and the increased spread?

There is a lot of good alcohol here. I am drunk. This explains the spread

My local county, the days leading up to mass July 4th gatherings case counts basically back to where they were pre-vaccinations for everyone under 65 (which started in late April).

Definitely prepared for the next month to get pretty bad here. Gonna start being more careful.

Not really, it's mostly the young people.

Our government opened everything and scrapped most regulations 3 weeks ago but now clubs are going to close again.
The youngsters were trading QR codes of negative tests and such and cheating on their COVID tests.

Also with our pace of vaccination the 20 - 25 year olds are just now getting invites for their first shot.

Also we're doing much more testing and thus we have more cases according to my boi in parliament who says everyone has gone c r a z y

I had heard that the struggle in the US is that 30% of the population are too crazy/lazy to get vaccinated

what's the percentage in the UK?

I mean does it turn out that everywhere in the world has about the same proportion of fucking morons

Pissy F Benny · « **Reply #13476 on:** July 09, 2021, 12:22:17 PM »

68.4% of the total population have had at least one dose, but under 18's aren't eligible yet, so god knows what the % of eligible people is.

Totally pulling this out of my arse, but I'd guess the % who won't have it for most countries being somewhere between 10% and 20%, probably lower for some of the more 'complaint' nations.

It's funny, whenever Trump starts to take credit for the vaccines at his rallies no one claps and he keeps waiting for the crowd to cheer.

Ontario is doing really well right now with 79% adults with first-dose and 53% second-dose. We are also vaccinating 250,000 a day. We are just getting to the point where it is fairly easy to get an appointment. A lot of current restrictions like no indoor dining and theaters are coming to an end next week after being in place since October. Overall Canada is doing good. We should surpass the US in second-doses next week and we are well above in the first-dose which is a very good sign for vaccine compliance.

I finally get to go back to the office Monday which has been closed since Sept.

Our government ran the most insane ad campaign I've ever seen.

DancingWithJanssen
Which basically meant that if you took the Johnson & Johnson vaccine you could instantly go out and party again and many did.
Plus, I haven't seen anyone 'socially distance' or wear a mask since June 26th when all regulations were scrapped.

When asked if he should resign our health minister of course said that was a 'ridiculous' question

383 new deaths vs 29,800 cases is pretty good to be honest.

Even if it was 383 new deaths vs half of that, 14,900 cases, you'd be looking at a current death rate of 0.03% (rounded up) - in comparison, the BMJ talk about a median 1% fatality rate during an influenza pandemic (source below). Granted, the current low Covid fatality rate is because of the rapid vaccination program and the actual virus itself is still a bishoptl tier cunt but that aside, the available data does support government schemes to start easing lockdown and allow herd immunity to develop.

It is therefore not surprising that for influenza, as for all viral diseases, there are huge variations in reported case-fatality rates. In a systematic review, the median was about 1% for laboratory confirmed influenza during the mild influenza pandemic in 2009 and the following years (estimated by me from figure 3 in the paper) (7).

A former colleague of mine had news from Australia that her father is in hospital from pneumonia.

Two days of frantic calls later, she arranged an emergency flight, paying through the nose in business class.

She got to Australia and started a mandatory quarantine. On day 2, she tested positive. She's now in hospital, despite being double vaccinated.

We're back to 5k - 10k positive tests daily. Going straight for the moon.

I do remember that when they were the poster boy for massive corona, they peaked at 1000 deaths/day.

Today? 13 deaths.

Is she in the hospital due to it being absolutely dire, or is this just how quarantine is handled in Australia?
