The mask mandates have expired here in Oregon this weekend. It will be interesting to see if Covid rates rise again. Our family will continue to avoid other people and will continue to wear masks when contact is unavoidable.

The consensus that might be emerging is that covid will become endemic with at least annual booster shots necessary. This might be a good time to mention again that infections and vaccines do not provide immunity. What they do is prime the body's immune system to fight off the next infection, should there be one, making it less likely that it will become full blown illness. We are at 6 months since our boosters, but figure what kept us from getting it during the previous waves will keep working... isolation and masking. Curb side pickup for groceries has remained my wife's favorite mode.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Yeah, we may see a fee for curbside. I find that if I am at the store when they open I am the only customer. This usually a quick stop to pickup just a few items.
At Costco there are always 30 or 40 old people like me waiting. I can be in and out in 15 minutes and I only have to pick up things there once every 3 months or so. During the pandemic they dropped several of the products I liked to get there because of volume and price, so I have found those sizes online with free 1-2 day shipping.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

quote: I'm not sure where the other 58,789,105 cases are. (Worldwide cases- recovered-deaths)
jar writes: The good news is that the death rate is still under 2% of the known infected population; just over 1% in fact. Since it's most likely that the known infection number is grossly understated the actual death rate is more likely under 1%. When you look at the overall numbers it looks like we got lucky. Trying to imagine a death rate of 5% or 10%... Seeing hospitals overwhelmed with patients and dead bodies though made it seem worse, to me , on a personal level. We can see pretty clearly now that a pathogen with a long symptom free incubation and contagious period cannot be stopped from becoming a global pandemic.
jar writes: That's still unacceptably high and ignores the still developing long term effects of Covid-19 but better than might be expected. I will not be surprised if we find that Long Covid may effect most survivors. And lets hope there isn't some longer term Gotcha like Shingles from Chickenpox.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

I know the pathology leaves a lot of vulnerable victims to the stupid but the majority of the deadly cases should be among the stupid themselves who will not follow health guidelines because, freedom. And it appears to be mostly a red state thing (deep in the heart of Trump MAGA land) so I say let nature take her course. Well, the vulnerable victims keep this from being a silver lining, but I think of it as a shiny lining. Lots of the vulnerable now have lots of valuable data from 2 years of this pandemic to make informed decisions about staying uninfected. It's looking like more and more of the infected are also the stupid. I keep reading articles about possible super vaccines that will target multiple vulnerabilities of all variants SARS-CoV-2 virus, but also the same for all Coronaviruses. We clearly have the technology and all the variants' genomes have been sequenced, so why aren't these developed yet and in clinical trials? That reminds me I'm going to schedule the 1st shot of the newest shingles vaccine this week.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Looking this up, the high death rate seems to be because of the huge number of deaths early in the pandemic before vaccines became available. That seems most likely to me too. Plus there were huge shortages of ventilators and other key medical supplies. And there was hardly any experience at treating Covid.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

And NYC was at the center of the 1st really big outbreak in the US. Remember Cuomo on TV every day begging for ventilators? I can remember thinking it was going to be like that where I live and being SO FUCKING ANGRY AT TRUMP!

Scheduled for #4 Monday. My wife and I are scheduled this week too. We got Pfizer for the 1st 3 shots but are going with Moderna this time.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

I ran across this article yesterday that seems to confirm my feelings of doubt about the reliability of the CDC. Watching the CDC become a propaganda instrument for the Trump Covid response during the first year of the pandemic was alarming to me personally. Trying to figure out what was actually happening inside the CDC was impossible because all we got was statements from a couple spokespeople about the severity and what we as individuals should do to protect ourselves that seemed to defy obvious public health guidelines. Facemasks clearly work to protect the wearer AND others.
Anyway, my trust in CDC increased after Trump, but as the pandemic has continued, while strongly advocating vaccination their other guidelines kept raising doubts in my my mind.
The CDC is beholden to corporations and lost our trust.

My arm aches like hell!!!!! And woke 2 hours early with a headache.
I transfer files from my imaging computer to my phone and laptop via email, They are all ~1mb jpegs. The imaging computer is only connected to the web via cable and only when I boot up and start my Adobe Photoshop suite, download a new virus definition or want to transfer files. When I was working I had the only PC in the whole department (to run my imaging system), but they made me have a Mac laptop also. I kept it in a desk drawer and used it to enter my time sheet at the end of every month. I kept backups of my files on their server, but also on external hard drives so I could bring stuff home to work on it. Not a single IT person knew anything about PCs so I had to do all my own trouble shooting. The Apple network routinely deleted files and seemed like it fucked up productivity continuously. They tried to make me use an I-phone but I never charged it so they took it back. All that bullshit about Apple being better on graphics was a huge marketing lie. And no one writes software packages to connect Macs to instruments. One crazy thing though, they could update the Mac operating system on my laptop, even when it was turned off in my drawer, via the building Wi-Fi, spooky.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.
