Trump is no longer President, so there's that, but we have a pandemic, and all the conservatives who wanted the government to abolish civil liberties during the whole Ebola thing have done a 180 and insist they have a god-given right to infect everyone else.

Interesting, which Trump? Ivanka? She’s hot!

But that wasn’t really what I was asking. And maybe this should be a dm, but can we still get erections?

Yeah we have all been triple jabbed since September but Omicron could give two shits about that. Not sure where you've been but triple jabbed and sick is the new pierced and tattooed in New York.

Generally, all I have heard is mild sickness so far but I wouldn't go licking no toilet seats yet.

ETA, might want to work on getting that internet back up. All I have head about over the last three days is boosted people testing positive. Don't know how you've missed it.

Heard reports, but still don’t know anyone vaxxed suffering. But honestly, this is life now. The not vaxxed ain’t getting it. Maybe stuff will just fade like the 1918 pandemic, but either you go hermit, or Brave New World.

Most are asymptomatic to very mildly symptomatic. Boosted, whatever. If that's it, maybe this shit blows over.

Feel bad for people working in hospitals, and people who have to go for other reasons. Don't feel bad (sorry) for the unvaxxed in the hospital.

I'm triple jabbed since August.

Still not feeling particularly good about this with baby in utero. Pregnant women tend to have really bad outcomes. (Might be behind a paywall, so open in incognito mode):

Quote:
Pregnant women with COVID are five times as likely as uninfected pregnant people to require intensive care and 22 times as likely to die. Infected moms are four times as likely to have a stillborn child.
...
At least 150,000 pregnant people have been diagnosed with COVID; more than 25,000 of them have been hospitalized, and 249 have died, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

No mention in those stats about vax impact though?

Ms. Slothrop's ICU is mostly full of non-COVID patients, and I have no idea how they are going to keep the place fully staffed as nurses get sick.

No. It's been frustrating to really tell what my risk is. I'm acting as if I'm one level below what my immunizations are. So I figure I'm probably at vaxxed but not boosted, even though I got boosted in August.

I'm pretty much isolated this week, and next week I'm back to work from home full time for the immediate future, probably until the baby comes.

John Boehner explains why sugar costs twice as much in the US as everywhere else:

Quote:
Sugar was never really my fight, but I always thought it was a little silly that the sugar industry has all this power in Washington. But I liked to spend my time on issues I might actually be able to change, and I knew the chances of winning a fight with Big Sugar was basically zero.

At one point in the mid-1990s, I got fed up and decided to yank their chains anyway. I was on the Agricultural Committee and were getting ready to put together the 1996 farm bill. I walked into my office while this was going on and found a sugar lobbyist hanging around, trying to stay close to the action. I felt like being a smart-ass so I made some wise-crack about the sugar industry raping the taxpayers. Without another word, I walked into my private office and shut the door. I had no real plan to go after the sugar people. I was just screwing with the guy.

My phone did not stop ringing for the next five weeks….I had no idea how many people in my district were connected to the sugar industry. People were calling all day, telling me they made pumps or plugs or boxes or some other such part used in sugar production and I was threatening their job. Mayors called to tell me about employers their towns depended on who would be hurt by a sugar downturn. It was the most organize effort I had ever seen.

And that’s why don’t fuck with sugar.

Happy New Year, everyone. The eldest wee Slothrop has now gone and picked up COVID for a second time, but somehow the rest of us are still uninfected.

Hope all are well. Not uncommon. The person (that I know of) who brought Omicron to my office had absolutely no other contact test positive. Not even her husband.

He lives in a frat house, a sort of ongoing superspreader event, and we try to limit exposure to him.

My office has been open since June of 2020. I go in a few days a week, working from home the others. When I go in, I spend as little time as possible there, keep the windows open, wear an N95 and make sure to go out for a lunchtime run.

It doesn't appear there's any way to avoid getting infected with omicron. Almost everyone I know who gets a sinus issue or scratchy throat and a bit of malaise and can access a test is coming back positive for it.

There is the same way as in the beginning, not sharing indoor air with other people.

Everyone I know who tested positive recently, was allegedly asymptomatic, but tested for travel or for family get togethers or other reasons. All vaxed, boosted, etc.

This strain appears remarkably easy to catch and transmit. Even those obsessive about masking seem to be acquiring it.

But yes, part of its spread accrues from people not fearing it and being compelled to share indoor air.

Everyone I know is vaxxed and boosted. I'm guessing the asymptomatic #s are huge as no one can get tests here. The people I know coming down with it get something akin to a cold. Runny nose, sinus headache, achy, malaise. But it's rather quick.

I might've had it a couple weeks ago, before I was boosted. I felt like ass and had a headache for a few days. But there's no way to know. I tried to buy a test recently and the cashier's sarcastic response was, "Yeah, we sell them. And we're out."

ETA: The anti-vaxxers, OTOH, aren't having such a good go of things. Not unpredictably, they're taking up all the beds in local hospitals. And yes, those doing worst among them are... (wait for it)... the obese. Shocking.

I now know more people who have had it then haven't (all vaxxed/boosted). it has been very mild for those people (which I know I'm not allowed to say).

I think he thinks it is unwoke to say that Omicron is mild for the vaxxed because then the kids won’t take any precautions and they will go to raves where Covid particles are blown out of smoke machines, and do hits of Covid through shared bongs. But the fact remains that it appears to mainly be mild for the vaxxed. (I’ve heard that a bong hit of Covid produces a nice energetic body high, kind of like a good Sativa but with the added benefit that it makes you less able to smell your fellow rave-goers.)
