They've gone their first year or so pretty much never seeing the face of anyone but their parents at home.
Kids are playing on playgrounds in Florida, even in the pozzed blue parts. Maybe in 15 years we'll see a tide of maladjusted autists in California, but I'm doubting you could even tell the difference at this point. That place is fucked.
 
Notable.



The latest bullshit from the county I live in.

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CARMEL PINE CONE

March 12, 2021, 1:15 p.m.

STATE RAISES RED TIER THRESHOLD TO 10.0 — MONTEREY COUNTY'S 7.2 MEETS IT COMFORTABLY

• Businesses could get green light to reopen Wednesday, March 17

Citing increased vaccination rates in California's hardest-hit communities, the California Department of Public Health today announced changes to the tier structure that has regulated the state's economy since last summer — changes that make it easier for counties, including Monterey County, to move from the Purple Tier (most strict) to the Red Tier (less strict). (This is because Newsom told them to make the changes, getting more scared every day he'll be recalled. You're going, bitch. - JS)

Previously, a 7.0 case rate per 100,000 residents was required to qualify for the Red Tier, but the threshold has now been increased to 10.0. (Big fucking deal. All politically-motivated. - JS)

The change puts Monterey County into a sort of candidate status for the Red Tier, by virtue of its 7.2 case rate of new infections per 100,000 residents. If that score is maintained next Tuesday, the county would officially move into the Red Tier, making it possible for indoor dining, gyms, movie theaters, museums and some schools to reopen effective Wednesday, March 17. This is a major change from what was expected until today's announcement. (Big fucking deal again. STILL won't be at 100% capacity. No idea how most of these places will make any money. But any cash flow is better than none. In no hurry to go to a restaurant myself. - JS)

The text of the CDPH announcement can be found here. Please read it carefully. (I'm not reading it at all. Total bullshit, anyway. - JS)


A couple of Reason articles.

This cocksucker needs to resign NOW.






 
Correct me if any of this is wrong, this is just stuff I've heard, and dots I've connected, but it's hard to talk about it with people in real life, and I'm not totally sure if it's right or not. So, I recently saw a clip of Saint Fauci talking about how any PCR test that returns a positive result above a 35 can be thrown out as a false positive. Whatever it's picking up by that point isn't Covid. But, we've all been testing regularly for the past year at up to 45 cycles, which is why that can of Coke in Australia tested positive, as did the goat and the papaya the President of Tanzania claims he got positive tests from. So, how many positive cases of Covid were based around that 35+ false positive reading? Hundreds, thousands, Hell, even millions? And now that the threshold for what constitutes a positive test is higher (or lower, I suppose, in that I think they dropped that 35+ number to something more realistic) than before, that explains why the numbers appear to have dropped off a fucking cliff.

The other issue I've had is how the deaths are counted. I'm not sure about how they're counted everywhere, but if I recall correctly, a lot of places consider a Covid death as any death that occurs within 28 days of testing positive, and I've even heard some places going as high as 60 days. So then, you look into who's actually dying of Covid, and it's primarily people over the age of 70, as in, people already knocking on death's door, without Covid. When you cast such a wide net as to what is considered a Covid death, how many of those cases should truly be counted? The reality is, old people fucking die, for any number of reasons, a lot. So when you go with something like, within 60 days of a positive test, for a virus said to only last for about fourteen days, and have a staggering amount of false positives due to counting 35+ cycle readings until just a couple months ago, how many of these alleged Covid deaths are actually Covid deaths, and not just old people dying of, I don't know, cancer, a stroke, heart failure, old age, etc.? I don't deny that there is a virus out there, and for some people, sure, it's pretty deadly, but with how they seem to be pulling some creative accounting shit with the numbers, I'm seriously thinking that the politicians and the media have blown the numbers wildly out of proportion.

And then, people are giving so much shit to all those states about reopening, but I go and look at the numbers, and every one of those states has been on the decline for cases, and deaths, for months, including Florida, which should be, a mass graveyard, due to an aging population, and incredibly lax rules. Hell, even in my native Leafland, the numbers have been steadily declining, and yet, nothing seems to be getting any better. I don't think this is about a virus anymore, and I wonder if it ever truly was.

Again, if my information is wrong, please correct me, but this is based on what I've read, and seen, and I want to be accurate

I think the other thing to keep in mind, is governments are slow as fuck to change anything, the bigger they are the longer it takes them to change course, and then you have to consider what percentage of govt consists of pension seeking yes-men, and literal mouth breathers. Then, take into account how much they fear the "media" coming after them. I guess what I am saying is, by the time the pandemic is declared over, everyone and their dog will have moved on and forgot about it.

The government works slowly unless it's starting the lockdowns, of course. Then things change pretty much instantly.

Don't forget about that time in February when we were sending our PPE supplies overseas, only to then struggle to supply our own people. Also don't forget the Italian govt's descision to fund a campaign where people "hugged Chinese people" to show how not racists they were. Notice the date on the video, this was before they nuked their old people population in the North. Slow to respond, slow at everything.


Edit: Unless you owe the Gov't money, then watch how quick they move.

Gyms (and movie theaters) are finally being allowed to reopen in LA: https://ktla.com/news/local-news/l-...vaccine-doses-to-residents-in-hard-hit-areas/

My nurse friend is a vaccine administrator now, and he reports that they are seeing bad reactions to the vaccine (to the point of sending people back to the hospital), although most people are fine. He says that they're seeing allergic reaction/anaphalactic shock issues, and that they're being pressured to keep it quiet.

That gives me mixed feelings.

2nd guy sounds like my boss since Abbott revoked the mask mandate in texas (and my county did away with it as soon as Abbott spoke about it figuring that a week didn't make much difference).

The covidians at work have just gotten worse and worse and I'm kinda looking forward to seeing the business fail more and more. Even though a majority of the managers dont wear masks unless they're out on the floor but they're Johnny on the spot being on the intercom about "how to properly wear a mask" if they think they see someone wearing it improperly.

Even Elon is suspicious. Something for the almonds.

My sister, brother and brother in law all got the shoot. My bother in law got the Moderna one. Should they put me in their wills when they die off in a few years from them?
Maybe we should all get in on that scheme that motorcycle clubs do where they pay for your starter gear but in exchange you have to let them take out a life insurance policy on you. One of them has to pay off, right?

If only it was just the “quarantine 15.”

Most people have struggled to maintain their weight during the pandemic, with 61% of American adults reporting undesired weight gain or loss since the coronavirus outbreak. That’s according to a new American Psychological Association (APA) survey of more than 3,000 people released a year to the day since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

Prior to the pandemic, about four in 10 Americans (some 93.3 million adults) were already obese, according to the CDC. And according to the APA’s latest “Stress in America” report, more than two in five of the surveyed adults (42%) revealed that they gained more weight than they intended over the past 12 months. And they put on 29 pounds, on average.
In fact, one in 10 said they gained more than 50 pounds, which the APA notes is a textbook sign that people are struggling to cope with mental-health challenges. (Indeed, the report also found that one in three Americans is sleeping less during the pandemic, and more than half of parents said the level of stress in their lives has increased.)

Disgusting

Spoke to a vendor from work. He's been dealing with his grandmother's death for the past 2 weeks. Apparently she was in an assisted living center and contracted covid even though she wasn't around people and would only take visitors in a similar way one would in prison. Anyway she felt fine and didn't know she was sick because she felt normal. After recovering the nurses gave her the jab and she died in less than 48 hours.

I brought up how it seems like if you've recovered from covid and get the jab soon after then there's a severe reaction. He was all "I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this is what happened so it could be true" because my boss is a fucking cuck even though he constantly bitches about the younger generations and how awful they are. Didn't wear a mask at all as we shot the shit as normal and made plans for work shit to be done (it was fantastic).

In other news, my boss's wife had a severe reaction to the moderna vaccine about a month ago where it almost killed her (not surprising seeing as the woman has a bunch of medical issues and a list of allergies longer than mine) and she's still dealing with side effects while boss man got the Pfizer one and didn't have a negative reaction to either dose (kudos).

I told my boss that due to my age and the struggle of supply and demand that I'll pass on getting it for now (read forever if I can help it).
