November 10, 20214 yr Ya it's super weird that the seasonality of August might be different than November. Then again, if you're a moron who doesn't understand literally anything about the world we live in, it might not be that weird.

Yeah, it's super weird that Florida has experienced peaks in consecutive summers. I wonder what it is about Florida that might make a summer "seasonal" peak more likely than in other places in the country. Hmmmm. This is a toughie. Nope, nothing is coming to me. Love it when little man goes full Napoleon when he's this wrong.

You can't post anything because there's nothing there. You went full Napoleon and got wrecked. Period.
November 10, 20214 yr I was in home depot yesterday with my wife and baby. At check out, some random dude approaches me and says "Excuse me, it's really great to see some young people not wearing masks, there's just something about this area and the young people..." I just said "oh, uh have a good one man" and walked out. Personally, I don't wear one unless required because I'm vaccinated and don't think walking past people in home depot is how you catch coronavirus. However, I'd rather not discuss it with randos at stores. It amazes me that these are the people who complain about everything being politicized, yet here is this dude approaching me in a store to try to discuss in solidarity mask resistance.

Keep fighting the good fight my man!!! Just kidding.
November 10, 20214 yr Should also be no surprise the Germans recommend prized/BioNTech since they’re basically the ones who invented it 😂
November 10, 20214 yr There are clearly some confounding factors that are hard to account for when it comes to outbreaks. Some of it may be related to weather - both directly and indirectly through changes in human behavior (being indoors or outdoors more, etc.), some is just plain luck on whether the virus is able to take hold in a particular population at a high enough level to result in an outbreak. There are things that can be done that can frustrate outbreaks. The vaccine has an effect, as does mask wearing. But there's no combination of tools we have right now that will guarantee us protection from an outbreak. That's where it gets challenging to message on this, because the reality is that you can do everything right and still get COVID. A community could do everything right and still have to deal with an outbreak. All other things being equal, the community engaging in more aggressive mitigation efforts (masks, etc.) is less likely to have an outbreak, and if that community is 100% vaccinated the hospitalization and death rates will be significantly lower than in an unvaccinated community, but there are too many other variables (up to and including how individual members of a community may interact with people outside the community for example) to guarantee anything. Where people go off the deep end is reading it as "well if there's still risk what's the point of vaccinating and doing all this mask wearing etc.?" .. the message sounds mealy mouthed because "your chances are better with the virus and with mask wearing" isn't as reassuring as "if you do x you will be safe" which is what people want to hear.
