It might also be just this stupid: Biden is pushing the line that you can keep wearing a mask or you can get vaccinated.
The dumbest possible vaccination push.
Americans: Im not going to wear a mask or get vaccinated
Biden: :shocked-pikachu:
Already seeing the effects of this bullshit up in Canada too. gas station clerk was maskless today even though we’ve only hit like 40% first dose vaccinations in Canada, almost no 2nd dose.
This is one of those jobs that immediately struck me as a 24/7 typhoid mary. Most people going into a convenience store are rushing in after touching unsanitised common surfaces at the pump. They’re from many different areas and some are breaking quarantine at one of the stops they have to make. Lots of cash exchange, rushed bathroom visits, and impulse buys that someone puts back after touching. The clerks are so devalued that they don’t care. Just a perfect storm of things that make me wary of supermarkets in a condensed form.
In the Rockies you’ve got major interstates running alongside and through the mountains as well as isolated mountain communities that have to drive an hour or more to the nearest real hospital. I’ve seen mask-free gas stations along those interstates in/next to cities with major outbreaks. At one point I drove an hour and a half through a canyon that’s semi-inaccessible for half the year to get to a town outdoorsmen frequent. Zero masks at either of the gas stations or the grocery, chuds flowing in by the hundreds and having illegal mass gatherings nearby before meeting in town.
I wonder if I’d be driven crazy faster as an epidemiologist or a climate scientist.
Most vaccines vary from 65% to 95% effective depending on how many doses are required and the variant of Covid 19 a person contracted. However the vaccines so far are 100% effective at stoping death or very serious illness.
I don’t believe the CDC was wrong about masks: they knew that it was the primary form of PPE for healthcare workers from the beginning. They chose to lie because they didn’t want to cause a panic.
They chose to lie because they didn’t want to cause a panic.
Which is in its own kinda dumb, because it really operates on very outdated and dumb ideas about managing public disasters.
Americans stockpiled fucking gasoline just because some edgerunners decided to hack a pipeline. They absolutely would have made a mask shortage
Masks were already sold out virtually everywhere by the time they made that dumb ass statement.
CMON MAN, I BELIEVE THE SCIENCE :biden:
In summary, high SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates act to increase the vaccine escape risk. Maintaining low case numbers using NPIs and vaccines is crucial at this time.
wait not that science :biden-troll:
You can easily spot on a stock chart when the mask mandate was abandoned. Day before? Line go down. Day after? Line go up. I think they’ve been saving this as an emergency measure for when the markets needed a boost. Pretty concerning that theyre trying this already, the line must be incredibly fragile right now
Well they keep using all their little tricks and boosts to keep it alive, and since they never do anything to actually structurally stabilize it (even from a liberal perspective, like resetting interest rates to where they were pre '08), they’re simply running out of tools. They always seem to find something though, so we could be here in this fake economy for another decade.
dude they were literally doing donation drives where people brought in spare n95s from their houses and shit
