Coronavirus (condo, living in, bus)

The average deathly average is barely hitting 200 daily per week and is still dropping. At some point we're going to be below influenza numbers.

Getting kids back in masks in schools won't happen outside a few extreme left wing zones (maybe the Bay Area and LA but the rest of the state sure won't agree).

That mostly ignores the point. All the data points to a significant rate of post-COVID complications. Just because some of you don't know people like that (or don't know them well enough for them to share the news with you) doesn't make them rare. Plus, as people slack off on vaccinations and the virus spreads to numbers probably many times more prevalent than it is now, deaths will increase.

It seems like too many people are flying, part of a societal attitude of entitlement to any and all leisure. Time to make it more of a hassle.

400 million people are now in lockdown in China. That's more than our entire population and there's no evidence covid will ever go away. So what are they doing? Destroying the economy, mental health and killing people and begetting social unrest for an unachievable goal.

Covid is here to say and is contagious. And cloth masks or school shutdowns aren't going to affect overall spread much if any.

But this isn't China, the use of cloth masks has been discouraged since Delta broke out last summer, and there haven't been school shutdowns in over a year.

Oh sure, HI, please the lockdown capital of the US outside of CA/NY. So how did those lockdowns work in HI? Don't care what HI has to say.

Uh, yes, it likely makes people with long covid rare, especially since the media will do all they can to point out all the people with long covid to keep their narrative going. So, pretty sure we've heard about all the long covid out there and the long covid cases reported is quite rare compared to total number of cases. Must suck living in fear. Enjoy!

"The San Francisco Bay Area has California’s highest coronavirus case rate — nearly double that of Southern California — and coronavirus levels in sewage for much of Silicon Valley have more than doubled over the last two weeks.

“They’ve been steadily climbing for about a month, and they’re above what we saw at the height of Delta,” last summer’s dominant variant, Dr. Cody said of viral levels in wastewater.

California state epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan reiterated that Omicron can still be dangerous. While much has been said about Omicron being less likely to cause severe illness, its extraordinarily contagiousness means a lot more people can be simultaneously infected, and more people died during the fall and winter Omicron surge than the earlier Delta wave."

It does because pretty much everywhere else will not mandate masks even with similar case rates. City of San Jose already did.

It would be if some people had their way lol.

I think a lot of people are still in that stage of fear but after hearing about the condo in Florida that collapsed in June of last year, I wonder if it's worth it (living in fear). All those people killed in that catastrophe did everything they were supposed to for over a year of covid only to die when the place they were living, fell to the ground. You never know whether it will be covid or some other disaster that will "take you out."

Sure, researchers just made the numbers up. And made up post-viral syndromes from polio, flu, strep, etc.

DENIAL.

Here's one complication affecting probably millions, hair loss.

I hadn't thought about it much in a while, having assumed it's unlikely from Omicron or if vaccinated, but maybe the difference isn't much. It's not like it causes extreme hair loss (except in very rare cases) and like Long-Covid people don't go around announcing it.
