Just saw this bit of scare-clickbait earlier:

Unvaccinated people can get infected by coronavirus every 16 months: Experts

Coronavirus cases are once again increasing in the UK, and several patients have reported getting infected for the second or third time. This has led experts to believe that people are bound to get re-infected every 16 months of they are not fully vaccinated.

A new analysis has suggested that people who have chosen not to get vaccinated against the deadly coronavirus can keep getting re-infected with the disease every 16 months.
 

What is that crappy article? Later on it says:

However, experts believe that it is not just once or twice that the re-infection can happen. Unvaccinated people are expected to get re-infected after every 16 years, on an average.

What they whinging about, 16 years ain't that bad!

So many typos and errors in this article.
 

Michigan counties that voted heavily for Trump have more COVID-19 cases, deaths​

COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University​

I love that the Science Believers are logical robots immune to magical thinking.

Now if you'll excuse me, BAD ORANGE BAD. VOTE ORANGE BAD MAN MAKE DIVINE COVID PUNISHMENT CREATE CASE SPIKE. ORANGE BAD BAD. EVIL ORANGE FAT UGLY POOPY BAD BAD.
 
Here is source article for that:
“If we had no infection controls, no one was masking or social distancing, there were no vaccines, we should expect reinfection on a three-month to five-year timescale – meaning that the average person should expect to get Covid every three months to five years,” Townsend said.
Although vaccines are suppressing the level of infections, the UK reported 49,156 Covid cases on Monday, the highest figure since mid-July.
“The major implications are that if you haven’t been vaccinated, you should get vaccinated, and if you’ve been infected, you should go ahead and get vaccinated anyway, because that will extend the duration of your protection.”
Griffin said: “If you don’t clamp down on prevalence [in schoolchildren], you’ll get the spread of infection and possibly reinfection, which will then potentially spread to parents whose vaccines may be waning, and more critically to grandparents and clinically vulnerable people.
So, COVID vaccines for every single person, baby to deathbed, at least every 6 months, forever, right?

I'm in Europe, but someone had the radio on at work the other day, and a local (private owned) station was advertising a "science discussion" program they have, where they have "scientists" on to discuss various topics in a, uh, scientific way or something, reviewing latest peer-reviewed publications and such. Because scientific communication is especially important these days. And at the end... "Sponsored by Johnson & Johnson". But yeah it's all a conspiracy theory and I should just go back to my mother's basement.
 
At this point I'm genuinely hoping for a hard economic crash. Brutal worse-than-2008 level stuff.

Why? I want people to be made to face reality. I want people to suffer. I want people to realize that they simply don't have time for this nonsense anymore, and that they need to focus on fixing the system rather than wallowing in all this nonsense. I want the entire engine that keeps this artificial gibberish afloat to be smashed at the foundations, so all the silly agreements and under-the-table deals which enable this fake pseudo-economy to function are knocked down all at once.

I'm ready. I'm secure. I can deal with this. I'm tired of the lies.


The problem is that we have too many safety nets anyway and people have been raised to worship their reflection but fear their own shadow. A generation of narcissist dependable cowards. They will still find a way to make all this covid shit their living priority. I see parents leaving their cars with their toddlers with masks on. TODDLERS!

These are the people that would rather die than to admit they were wrong.
 
There's a relatively new radio tech named LoRA that gives you ~300 baud over several miles in a dime-size $11 $15 package with near-zero power consumption. Several new mesh network projects have popped up with it and I'm excited to see where some of them go in regards to local area chat networks and evolutions of the ham data protocols.

If you want the hardware for the apocalypse, here you go.


I don't think this really needs an edit - it's enough that the fat guy is drawn in a standing pose in frame 2. Reads a bit differently if you assume the water is waist deep.
The LoRa modulation protocol is actively being used in the RC hobby right now thanks to the ExpressLRS firmware for radios. I've installed it on my quadcopter and plane and can confirm it's pretty awesome. I used to worry about range and it's basically a non issue now with the antenna setup and area I fly in. I haven't done any range tests, but using only 100mW I have no qualms flying past line of sight. Basically, can confirm LoRa is awesome. Low power and high baud over long ranges is a win win.

They ("experts", politicians, the media, various business interests) really, really, really don't want to let this thing go.

Saw this headline on CNBC:

The UK has one of the highest Covid infection rates in the world right now

Not mentioned in the article: 90% of the UK is vaccinated 🤔

But they did mention this:

That's because we now know — due to an increasing body of data — that immunity in vaccinated people wanes after about six months.

Idk because I'm not a doctor or nothing, but I've never heard of such a shitty, useless vaccine in my life. And I've never seen this kind of hysteria and desperation to bully people over a virus. The AIDS scare of the 80's had nothing on this. The whole thing is creepy as fuck.
 
More idiocy from California. Not even the North Koreans would do this to their kids. Time to start shining chains.

Yeah, the way they are pushing this vax is scarier than Covid. It makes no sense why they are pushy a leaky vax and wanting to mandate it, rather than encourage people to get this one and let people know they are working on a better version.

It's not like the shitty vaxxes out now are the only ones in the world. There are companies doing research for a vax that actually stops transmission. I ain't here for this bs they are peddling right now.

I'm not sure such a vaccine is possible, not with our technology anyway. We've not managed to cure the common cold yet have we?

83% vaxxed Singapore just broke new heights today. Do you know what else broke new heights today....? Bitcoin.

It's all so simple now. Bitcoin was the virus all along
 
More than anything.

I work with people whose ability to grasp the outside world is pretty diminished, so I was un-surprised that I had to explain over lunch one day that China's real estate market was going tits up, 2/3rds of the country was without power, alongside India, fuel was going through the roof and that the global supply chain was breaking down.

The looks of utter confusion on their faces signalled that when the crash hits (I'm hoping in the next week) that they're all going to freak the fuck out and panic. I'll probably head to the pub one last time before I'm prevented from drinking at restaurants.

I wonder who will fuck it up worse? Your idiot Prime Minister or ours? The upshot being that no one will give a shit about this pandemic until the ADE kicks in hard.
Were they shocked because they thought everything was fine, or are they the type to only see problems in their own country, and take the propaganda of every other country at face value?
