Mother Moon was smiling bright this morning in my meditation and to be very honest Evil, today is a great day for many reasons. You dumb, that's it. The reason crush and miss crush happy today? 1. I dont have to leave California after all. 2. Looks like I got a really good gig 3. The two ladies want me to help them with their new biz idea and their willing to pay me to use my brain. 4. The sun is shinning bro and I work from the beach. 5. I am super in love with my wife. 6. My dd is growing up so fast and I'm so proud of her. 7. God is amazing

Glad to hear. I may be dumb but don't think you can go too wrong by wherever possible turning up the volume.

There's a joke in here somewhere....if I were just smart enough to think of it.

Even more compelling.
Calling them morons is letting them off the hook. The people making kids wear masks and shutting down their activities know exactly what they are doing. Everyone knows children have less than miniscule risk from Covid. When you point that out to the children punishers they may even admit that, but they say its to prevent "community spread". "Community Spread" is their euphemism for "I don't want to get Covid from a child". So instead of putting the responsibility on at-risk adults they put the responsibility on healthy children. It's part of our new upside down society.

Looking forward to the gist of it when you are ready.
Can you name anywhere which lowered death rates solely by putting the responsibility on at-risk adults? All the examples I can think of have high death rates.
A solution which has failed everywhere it was tried is not much of a solution.
If you want to say that we should put the responsibility on all adults, then I agree. But that means we all have to mask up and we all have to get vaccinated.
Not my claim and I don't know if that is true or not. It's irrelevant and you miss the point. You're still hung up on Covid being the only measure of successful health policy.
If we just want to talk Covid, how many mask less children have infected and killed adults? Or how many lives have been saved by closing schools and playgrounds?

That was it. Not that far in the rear view mirror compared to the 55 million years that Corona has evolved and us with it when we finally showed up.
By that standard sanitation is a relatively new development. I don’t begrudge that development in the least…though the streets of San Francisco may be regressing to pre sanitation standards due to lack of public dedication mandates.

A lot of the folks you talk to, whether online or in real life, have a superficial and uninformed opinion of the virus, what works, and what we ought to do.
To this day many if not most people still think the numbers go up and down according to people's behavior. When the numbers go up, that means people are misbehaving. When they go down, people must have started listening to public health officials again.
The fact that people in completely different states with completely different policies see their numbers go up and down at exactly the same time doesn't faze them at all, because they don't bother to inform themselves about what's actually happening.
As if this needed refuting for a thousandth time, I present to you the hospitalization graph for the southern states around the time of the recent spike:
Can you tell which of these states has had a mask mandate during this time?
Can you tell which one has the highest vaccination rate? The lowest?
Of course not: the trajectories and in large part the lines themselves are all the same.
You would think we would be having a discussion about why this should be. Why do these states look exactly the same despite their varying policies implemented at varying times?

Anybody wanna guess what the National graph looks like for cases and deaths?A lot of the folks you talk to, whether online or in real life, have a superficial and uninformed opinion of the virus, what works, and what we ought to do.

The basic model for infectious disease has a fixed point at the herd immunity threshold. It is an attractor: cases rise if you are below, and fall if you are above. Most diseases you know are endemic: they hang out at the herd immunity threshold. Covid will one day become endemic.
There. Now you can skip the video and use the six minutes to make some coffee.
Flu doesn't. It mutates enough so that each new variant is considered essentially a new virus which resets the herd immunity threshold for at least part of the population. And that's before you get to zoonotic reserves.
The issue is that COVID may be like flu instead of chicken pox, or even an entero or adeno virus.
Just making shit up again?
You seriously claiming there's a herd immunity threshold for flu? Because as far as I'm aware, it's still around (despite vaccinations and repeated bad flu seasons)
