December 23, 20214 yr The WHO out today accusing "rich nations" of prolonging the crisis by distributing out boosters instead of ensuring that those doses go to the countries with super low vaccination rates.

You are supposed to put your own oxygen mask on first when the plane is going down. Then help others.

Their assertion (correct or incorrect) was that the oxygen mask is already on now stop consuming all the oxygen and help others get their mask on. btw - I'm due for my 3rd jab in January.
December 23, 20214 yr Millions of vaccine doses have been destroyed due to expiration. Poor management or people opted out ?
December 23, 20214 yr There are only two ways this thing ends. One is that we hit a herd immunity level worldwide at approximately the same time thru vaccination thus stopping the virus in its tracks and preventing further mutation. That approach seems more like a nice theory than something that could actually be successfully implemented. The second way is for the virus to naturally produce a dominant variant that isn't particularly deadly/serious but highly contagious in which case we hit herd immunity thru the natural process of evolution. If we are lucky Omicron is that variant. In the meantime, we will continue to try to live with this thing and adopt policy in various manners in various places. No one approach is perfect. They all have their pluses and minuses. Anyone claiming to have "the truth" is no better than some dumb ass religious nut bag.

The link above is just South America. They didn’t call out the US specifically. None the less, I think they would say if one is already putting masks on others then the job is to do more of that. A reasonable position to take from their point of view. I plan to get my 3rd jab once I am eligible. A reasonable position from my point of view.

Yeah, I'm sure it's just a complete coincidence it just happens to use the exact wording you posted and is a site that directly caters to your demographic (dumbF trump fans). What are the odds?

Because at the altitudes you’re flying at, you have a very short time until you black out. The pressure is low enough that it actually sucks air out of your lungs. So if you’re fiddling with your kids mask before yours, not only will their mask not get on because you’ve passed out before it goes on, but your mask won’t be on either. Ultimately though it depends on how quickly the pilots get theirs on. Normal procedure is to drop altitude as quickly as possible, say to 10,000ft, but yeah. Once there’s a decompression event, there’s no air to breathe, anywhere. Now for this analogy, once we get our end under control we can help them out. Otherwise the @vikas83 paradigm applies: don’t be poor.
December 23, 20214 yr Wow even though they vaxxed the hardest out of almost any country in the world, sounds like they should have vaxxed a little harder. dopes.
December 23, 20214 yr Does anyone here remember when the Trumplikins did a complete 180 and went from focusing on covid deaths to focusing on covid cases? I wanna say it was right around the time the vaccines really started rolling out.
December 23, 20214 yr If "we're all in this together" then you should get vaccinated if only to keep your stupid ass out of the hospital so you're not a drag on the medical professionals that are tired of wasting time with selfish Fox News watching morons.

Given my age and BMI, the chances I wind up in the hospital are very slim. That's if we're talking about the Delta variant, btw, if I get Omicron it's more likely that I don't even develop symptoms than I end up hospitalized. So no, I don't think I will. Enjoy your 4th booster in about two months.

Oh, there are a gazillion reasons for those numbers during that timeframe. Record low mortgage rates sparking a housing boom (Lets retire to Florida!). Companies moving their headquarters to Texas. (Lets leave Cali for lower taxes!) Your face. (Your face!) The fact that its posted in this thread as a way to imply its purely covid related is stupid.

I would be interested in seeing the same timeframe from 2019-2020 or 2018-2019 for a real statistical analysis.

July 2018-July 2019 Midwest: -161549 Northeast: -294331 South: +407913 West: +47967 Thus continuing the trend of US Population moving South and West, that started right around the invention of air conditioning.
