There's an extra layer of misanthropy in recommending that people contract a disease in a country where tens of millions of people are uninsured.

it's amazing to me that people would think getting the virus is less of a burden than wearing masks   :brain

I have top tier bad asthma and I'm kinda afraid I'll never be able to leave my house safely again, but on the bright side I got a promotion and a new job during the pandemic and I'm finally making a decent salary so it's pretty much all worth it am I right?  :doge

Considering how he's acting and that immunity may last only 3 months, he's about due for another reinfection.

The government declared another nationwide lockdown on Sunday and pleaded with the public to cooperate if a second wave of coronavirus infections is to be stemmed.

Jung Eun-kyeong, the chief of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "Government officials and administrative orders alone cannot stop the daily activities of citizens. We urge the public to practice complete social distancing over the next week."

The number of new infections in the Seoul metropolitan area increased even after the government gradually tightened social-distancing rules since Aug. 16, including keeping schools closed and banning gatherings of more than 50 people.

Quote
New cases there surged from 66 a day from Aug. 9 to 15 to over 240 a day during Aug. 23 to 29. Across the country the number was over 300 per day last week.

But acting Seoul Mayor Suh Jung-hyup asked the capital's 10 million residents to "freeze" their activities as much as possible until Sept. 6.

Coffee and other franchise outlets can only offer takeaways. Restaurants and food trucks must close at 9 p.m. Jeju Island has banned gatherings of more than three people.

Meanwhile, Daegu in the southeast, which was a hotspot of the epidemic earlier this year, reported 30 new infections on Aug. 29, the most since March. A member of a church in the city attended and anti-government rally in Seoul on Aug. 15 and appears to have spread the virus among fellow worshipers, according to health officials.

As of Monday morning, Korea reported another 248 new cases, bringing to the cumulative total to 19,947.

Top White House officials rang the alarm bell during a call with the nation’s governors on Monday, pleading with them to advise college presidents in their states to keep COVID-infected students on campus or risk another major outbreak.

“We know that what happened across the South [in June] was primarily driven by 18-to-25 year olds, across the South, with asymptomatic spread,” said Dr. Deborah Birx, the Coronavirus Response Coordinator for the White House Coronavirus Task Force. “Sending these individuals back home in their asymptomatic state to spread the virus in their home town or among their vulnerable households could really recreate what we experienced over the June time frame in the south. So I think every university president should have a plan for not only testing but caring for their students that need to isolate.”

The comments represent one of the most explicit acknowledgments to date that the White House’s aggressive push to bring students back to campus this fall has created serious risks for increased COVID transmission. It also underscores just how fragile the current situation is at college campuses across the country.

I'm glad they are moving away from the Corona topic. I kinda snoozed through those as it sort of seemed like if you didn't listen to them right when they came out, new information would come out and then the episode wasn't all that relevant anymore. I mean the show tackles topical subjects fairly often, but not issues that are so fluid and constantly updating like Covid-19.

Imagine living in a world of a global pandemic, where schools are housing sick kids in a private hotel floor with other regular guests (who probably don't know it!) while the US guvment rejects joining a global response front.

Also where potus is fucking high as fuck all the time, and doesn't even know he has covid.

Can you explain the "200,000 excess deaths" you referenced in your recent tweet?

We can observe trends from the number of deaths reported each year, on a weekly basis. When we see large deviations in the numbers for a time period, we call that excess deaths. Looking at 2020 since March, the raw number of excess deaths is 200,000 more people than a normal year. When we try to understand that, COVID-19 is the most rational and likely explanation. If you don't believe it's COVID-19, try to pinpoint why this year has been so different than any other. Why would a new disease that kills people not be the cause?

Yeah I don't see how after all that you come to that conclusion. Like I could see one do so if they catch it, but their experience is one of "I felt sick for 3 days. Didn't feel too great, but just waited it out in bed and voila."

But this guy was not too many steps away from death and yet that's his great takeaway.

I feel pretty bad for these athletes.  They work really had to get a chance to play while their in their prime then they either have the option of not playing and risk various consequences like aging out or being black listed if they prioritize their health or they can play in an unsafe environment and get so unhealthy they can't play for life.  I mean sure this is standard in the NLF when it comes to concussions but at least concussions are not contagious.

How does one determine if the myocarditis is from the virus and not the sudden weight gains these kids are going through? Either through intentional "bulking" or steroid use (or both?).

Didn't realize with the latest trailer that they still have more to shoot. I thought the late 2021 release was just due to Covid-19 and not because there was still more to be filmed.

So it looks like the US did in fact peak on July 24, which just so happens to be shortly after July 4. Deaths peaked a week later, on July 30.

We should be down to 30k daily soon, which puts us at....the April peak. Deaths are still around 1k daily though.

Cuomo fucked up big time with the nursing home situation, but the rest of his leadership was very good. NY got on the mask mandates pretty early, shutdown hardcore for April, free drive-through testing sites were made available quickly (and service workers like haircutters, nail salon workers, all were encouraged to get testing at least once every 2 weeks), and then things gradually reopened in a controlled manner. Non-NYC NY has indoor dining (at reduced capacity) and now even has gyms open (also at reduced capacity) but I'm fine eating outside for now.
