COVID-19 in America

i thought maybe i had the parameters of the anti-vaxx garbage clocked. i was wrong.

I'm a schoolteacher, we of course do contact teacing all the time. at least, here in NYC we do.

" “The teachers are not even allowed to do contact tracing. If they send Johnny home with COVID, they’re not allowed to call the parents that sit close to Johnny to tell them he has COVID,” she said. "

 
high time eh.

Eventually, Board President Marlys Davidson told Roupoli her time was up, according to public video of the meeting, and called up the next parent. Roupoli concluded, and Davidson mumbled under her breath "f--- you," which was picked up by her mic.

Attendees of the meeting, who had been applauding Roupoli moments before, fell into a stunned silence, along with the board.

that would be better, since it would clearly voice the thinking not just of yourself but of the whopping majority of us ovah heah, but get terrorized with death threats against your children as a result.

Not sure if the stats in this clipping about vaccinations are really a surprise, a bit saddening, maybe ?

eu.usatoday.com

Atheists, agnostics and humanists much more likely than Christians to get COVID-19 vaccine

Atheists are more likely than the religious to be vaccinated against COVID-19, even as they grow in number and struggle to find acceptance in the U.S.

It certainly doesn't surprise me that religious people, especially the evangelical types, are much less likely to be vaxxed over there, but seeing the effect in the fact that only 'close to 58 percent of the population have been vaccinated', is a bit shocking.

It's indeed a bit shocking, but I think that's the figure the Johns Hopkins tracker gives for double-vaccinated people among the entire population, including children 5 to 11 who only became eligible a day or two ago - the equivalent figure for the UK is 68%, according to Johns Hopkins.

The States of America look set to break the 800,000 covid death toll very soon, possibly by this weekend, figures, again, from the ever reliable World-O-meter

From the same website the projections show February AND March next year as being two further highly significant milestones - and to further note the projections are actually lagging behind the death toll total so February and March may well be optimistic

If it hits a million all these dead anti-vaxx ’patriots’ will have truly owned Biden. What a fucking pointless sacrifice.

And, very largely, preventable ... if only these people would get the jabs.

The loss of GOP voters is, so far, insignificant on a national scale. Locally, maybe in some "marginal" counties, it could prove interesting if the deaths continue.

They know this, but are continuing to push vaccine hesitancy through media surrogates because they know it’s more damaging to the Democrats politically for Biden to be seen not to have got a grip on it, for him to avoid the victory over Covid bounce.

They only have to keep it up until the mid-terms because if they can make modest gains there they will have control of the chambers and be able to obliterate his program, and use the lack of progress on it as a weapon come the next presidential. They know exactly what they’re doing, and losing a few hundred thousand voters is an acceptable price, especially as the families of the victims will likely blame hospital procedures, lack of invermectin etc. rather than their own suggestibility.

Except that they've already unleashed a beast that they can no longer control. The anti-vax, Qanon-shite has also got a life of its own now. The virus isn't going to stop killing Republican voters when the midterms have been and gone. The Qanon movement is starting to eat itself. And a lot can happen between now and the midterms.

The US anti-vax demographic is way broader than Qanon loons, it’s also mainstream news channel stuff (Fox etc.), plus a smattering of new-age pillocks and also cautious types who are able to find enough justification through much-shared bullshit to discourage them from participating. What‘s the vax rate, something like 67% overall? That’s almost a hundred million not jabbed, not all will be fruitcakes that they’ve lost control of. We may only see the kooky idiots because they’re the ones getting shared and laughed at, the everyday skeptics aren’t interesting enough to get pilloried on Twitter or wherever.

Even with over a million dead in the US, it’ll barely make a dent in the republican numbers as a lot will be offset by earlier waves affecting mostly urban communities. They’ll also gain more votes from people angry that Biden hasn’t been able to shut this shit down yet, frustrated with the persistence of shutdowns and mask mandates etc. They have done the maths on this. Remember they’re evil, not stupid.

Updated total from World-O-meter, as of yesterday, already 40% towards the next milestone

With new daily infection totals for the States of America and the Kingdom topping 300k 2022 is set to be "fun"

Embarrassingly when the Kingdom's total is factored up to account for different population size we make America look positively marvellous
 
Pressures on society, services and businesses caused by sheer number of cases mean that it is unsurprising to see that the USA decided to change the self-isolation timer periods. But they've done so without adding more testing to the mix, and they have indulged in stupid claims that the new guidance was "motivated by science"....

The guideline for asymptomatic cases is expected to ease disruptions caused by staff shortages.

Uncounted: Inaccurate death certificates across the country hide the true toll of COVID-19
Mmissouri Independent. December 22, 2021
In Cape Girardeau County, the coroner hasn’t pronounced a single person dead of COVID-19 in 2021.

Wavis Jordan, a Republican who was elected last year to serve as coroner of the 80,000-person county, says his office “doesn’t do COVID deaths.” He does not investigate deaths himself, and requires families to provide proof of a positive COVID-19 test before including it on a death certificate.

Meanwhile, deaths at home attributed to conditions with symptoms that look a lot like COVID-19 — heart attacks, Alzheimer’s and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — increased.

“When it comes to COVID, we don’t do a test,” Jordan said, “so we don’t know if someone has COVID or not.”
