lol who? why should I care what this rando does?

Anyways, saw Godzilla in the movie theatre today. Yes, in an actual theatre. Didn't wear my mask the entire time because...obviously. According to branch covidians, I'm dead I guess. It was almost like returning to 2019, which was nice.

When I was in Utah in January I got to watch a screening of Alien with 100% virgin eyes in a completely empty movie theater. Best movie theater experience of my life.
 
I tested negative for antibodies, so I guess I have dodged the coof thus far, but I have had one friend who got it and viewed the temporary loss of smell and taste as a soul crushing event that made him contemplate suicide. I don't really get it. I'd just consider that a prime opportunity to de-fatty. Another friend got it, also loss smell for awhile, and generally felt really sick for a few days, but is fine. The boyfriend of my brother's ex-wife had it and barely noticed, also recovered. A 90 year old woman got it and survived, she was the only one who odds were really bad that I've known so far.

They locked my dad up in coof jail with the other deranged elderly for quarantine and he pulled through without even contracting it.

Of course, those are all anecdotes, and we all know what you really need is a year of individual stories collected by the state to count as data. Fortunately, I have that. My state collected data from all the reported cases, sorted by age and counted how many people died. So that was tens of thousands of cases per most age group, and for most of them around 20-30 deaths, with 11 deaths total in the age group between 5-29 out of 176,000 cases.

0-4 had a 0.0089% chance of death because one baby died while having covid out of around 11000 babies who had it. 30-34 year olds died at a rate of 0.03%,35-39 was 35-39 = 0.065%, 40-44 was 0.078%, 45-49 was 0.19%, 50-54 = 0.3%, 55-59 = 0.46% and we finally reach a 1% chance of death at 60 years old.

This was in a mixed population, so the fatties, the terrible health at any age, all blended in there. I imagine if you aren't a fatty diabetic 40 year old your chances are better than the average, but even if you are, you probably aren't that much worse off since most of you survived.

After 64 things really did get a lot worse, with it getting as bad as a one in three chance for 100+ year olds. So if you are a super old, you should be worried about the coof. Even if you are just regular old it's not great for you. My great aunt died to a normal cold when she was 80 though, and I've not taken that as universal proof of the deadliness of colds.

The average flu deaths for 18-49 year olds is 0.02%, and that age range for covid in my state was either 0.07% or 0.05% depending on how you weight the average (the death rate in the 45-49 year olds alone was the same as the total in 15-44, so one is the percentage of deaths from that age and below, and the other is the average rate of death by age groups counted.) Either way we see that covid is deadlier than the flu, but still a 99.93to 99.95% survival rate. Isn't that better than birth control and you frequently bet your life, or at least the next 18 years of it on that working?

TLDR: Covid isn't really that dangerous unless you are over 60, and even then that's hand wringing over a 1% death rate, but it only got intimidating from there on out. Yeah you might be at a 1 in 4 chance of dying when you are 80, but a cold or light breeze could kill you as well. The latter almost did in Biden last week.
 
Guess that my prediction from my source was right because where I am at we are going into Lockdown Again! They say it's not going to be bad as December, despite most of the fucking restrictions are going to hurt businesses more. Doug Ford is such a slime ball asswipe. Cucked Leafville people are going to let it happen though, despite the fatigue and general out cry of how ridiculous this all is.

Saw a movie theatre open for the first time since last year and it almost felt like nature was healing until I realized where I lived and got the sense of dread knowing they'll probably just lock down shit again next month just because.
Chile is literally the other fattest country besides Burgerland so it's no surprise they want to lock everything down. I just hope my friends there stay safe not from the virus but another overbearing government.

Coronavirus latest news: Pfizer jab produces 'off the scale immune response' likely to protect against Brazilian variant​

The Pfizer vaccine produces an "off the scale" immune response that is likely to protect against the Brazilian variant of Covid-19, researchers say.

The biggest study on antibody and cellular immune factors to date suggests people are likely to be protected against the Wuhan, Kent and Brazilian types of coronavirus following two doses of the vaccine.

The research, led by the University of Birmingham and including Public Health England's Porton Down laboratory, found 98 per cent of people aged 80 or over who had two doses of the Pfizer jab had a strong antibody immune response.

Professor Paul Moss, from the University of Birmingham and leader of the UK Coronavirus Immunology Consortium, told a briefing: "We've certainly seen in this paper that the antibody levels are so good, really after the first two weeks, that we are pretty confident that this should be very helpful against the Brazilian variant."

Asked if he is surprised how well the vaccines have worked in older people, he said: "We were. When we sent these samples to Porton Down they said 'we can't give you results right now because we've got to dilute them because they're so high, they're off the scale'."

The Birmingham study included 100 people aged 80 to 96 who received their vaccine doses three weeks apart, before the UK adopted a policy of stretching the time between jabs to 12 weeks.

Prof Moss added that it will be crucial to see how long antibody levels are maintained after people have had a Covid-19 vaccine.

This is what's called getting high off your own supply.

"When we sent these samples to Porton Down they said 'we can't give you results right now because we've got to dilute them because they're so high, they're off the scale'."
If you believe this then you're straight up nigger cattle.

Gee, I wonder why there is this sudden push about how amazing Pfizer is specifically to the UK market. It's not like a coordinated propaganda campaign has been going after their non-mRNA competitors. Astra-Zeneca and J&J really haven't learned their lesson. Time for more stories about to get pushed about blood clots and skin sloughing off someone. I mean, Pfizer does pay well. Wonder how much it cost to get this little dig in the same time that skin story came out.

Big Th0nks for me. No Th0nks for nigger cattle. Don't be nigger cattle.
