Just more pointless mitigations that won't solve the problem.
Every bit helps. If you want to risk ED, go right ahead.
The vaccine works. I'm probably going to fuck the shit out of my wife tonight. It's 70 and sunny here. Just landed a promotion. It really sucks my brain is broken though.

Same people who have protested every CDC recommendation to date, not pouring in to demand that governments IMMEDIATELY follow this one.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

NC immediately lifting all capacity limitations and masking/distancing requirements with the exception of public transportation, daycares, schools, and prisons.

The first thing people need to think when they see a masker outside is "that person is an absolute moron" , not "yes, orange man bad".

I was wondering where all the respirators made under the defense procurement act went... I mean... did we ever actually retool factories to make any of those?
The ventilator that kept my dad alive was made in June 2020. The hospitalist said several of their older vents were sent to rural hospitals and the coasts. I'm sure there was a need for them somewhere.
Damn, I sincerely hope he made it out ok.


Here's the broader answer:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business ... stockpile/ (Paywall)
Thanks for the links.

My dad is just now at an acute care facility to get his physical strength back. Will likely need oxygen for the foreseeable future as his lungs are still ravaged. We are eying a late May/Early June release to home care, which would be almost 5 months of hospitalization when it is all said and done.

He was taken off the vent officially and his trach was removed about 18 hours before my son was born last month. It was an emotional day to say the least.
Good to hear about your dad. I hope everything works out ok. He has a new grandson to look forward to

Moving on...
The C.D.C. said that as of April 26, of the more than 95 million people in the United States who had been fully vaccinated, it knew of 9,245 breakthrough infections. Of those, there were 835 hospitalizations and 132 deaths.

Beginning on Friday, though, the C.D.C. said it would change the way it reported breakthrough infections to only those who were hospitalized or died — the two most severe outcomes from contracting Covid-19. In other words, the Yankees’ cases wouldn’t fall under that category going forward.
The Yankees were vaccinated with JNJ vaccine. The JNJ vaccine is 66% effective at preventing moderate/severe disease. They never claimed that you wouldn’t test positive. What’s the surprise here?

I'm gonna keep wearing a mask in an effort to disrupt facial recognition, just in case they're coming for my guns.

When governors like Cuomo and Murphy keep mask mandates why is there never any follow up from the media? Seems like it would be pretty easy to ask them about THE SCIENCE they are using to justify continued tyranny.

When the CDC advocated for restrictions THE SCIENCE was always sound. Covid is the fastest growing new religion in the world and we must smite the heretics.
