NYC is over 70% vaxxed. Magic number. Herd. This is over now.
70% was always the low end hopeful number for herd, and that was put out there before delta (and now omicron).

As has always been the case, it comes down to hospital capacity, and following worst case scenario projections, even if they’re (hopefully) wrong. No one wants to turn away sick people.
Nice tweet where his focus is on creating fear rather than celebrating reality.
his tweet is the actual reality. putting your head in the sand hoping this will be a nothing burger isnt the truth
The only par of the tweet that was reality was 86. The rest was conjecture and fear mongering. That conjecture could turn out to be reality a week from now, but for now the reality is 86.

Kinda bullshit that something like the :roll: emoticon doesn’t come through when it’s the only content in a quoted post.

I acknowledged these are worst case projections in my post.

PS - Fixed your emoticon, Bammer.

the only ones who pretend to be are the ones who are skeptical of the numbers.

i readily admit im no where near smart enough to know all the ins and outs of covid and its transmission. i let other people who have dedicated their life's work to study it.

God, I fucking hate that I went to my son's wrestling tournament and there was a 5% mask rate despite a school district policy and a county indoor mask mandate.

He's vaccinated, masked, and sitting away from the crowds, but that gym is going to be an unmitigated public health pain in the ass come Friday. Poor county employees are going to be coming in on Christmas Eve to call families all over the state.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I assume the problem here is the same as most places: No real enforcement of the policies.

The mandates here were such a joke. Certain retailers publicly disregarding them and no recourse brought to their owners.
It wouldn't piss me off so much if they'd done even the minimum to address it.
- Tell coaches of visiting to not show up if they're teams won't mask.
- Tell people coming in the building or into the gym to put on their mask.

I wish the Governor would require vaccination for student athletes, but absent that, I'd take those two pitiful attempts at safety that I listed above.

problem with this is omicron becomes contagious after 2-3 days, as opposed to previous strains taking more like 5-6 days. a negative test in past seven days won't catch plenty.
