Living in Kansas inspired me to learn more about meteorology.

My adopted family originated in Kansas and Oklahoma, that inspired me to never go there.

College students admitted to police they had COVID-19. They threw a house party anyway.

The Sturgis Biker Rally Did Not Cause 266,796 Cases of COVID-19
The huge figure immediately hit the “confirmation bias” button in many people’s brains. But hold up.
But if 1000 cases came out of there, it's 1000 too many. Or 260 (the last number I heard a couple weeks ago) or 5000 or 10,000 or what the fuck ever.
I can't go to a goddamn Pirate game because MLB doesn't want people getting sick, but a bunch of nitwits can hook up with political T shirts and pretend there's nothing to worry about.
We may currently be the stupidest country on the face of the earth.
I'm ordering more dix lover masks, fall is coming fast. Personally, I think it's going to get ugly.

Interesting article based on new england journal of medicine article. Why did I have to find this on a uk site?
Wear your damned mask. It could be as useful as a vaccine.

Wear your damned mask. It could be as useful as a vaccine.
Face masks could be giving people Covid-19 immunity, researchers suggest
Mask wearing might also be reducing the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic

That was my point. Although the figures are speculative they highlight the point that no matter the absolute number we are paying a price for this disease and not just in human life.The Sturgis Biker Rally Did Not Cause 266,796 Cases of COVID-19

The severity of the illness is dose dependent on the amount of pathogen in the exposure. I wish I could say I don't understand why that hasn't been discussed. Then I see this:Interesting article based on new england journal of medicine article. Why did I have to find this on a uk site?

Caputo also said that HHS was appropriately reviewing the CDC's reports. “Our intention is to make sure that evidence, science-based data drives policy through this pandemic—not ulterior deep state motives in the bowels of CDC," (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/11/exclusive-trump-officials-interfered-with-cdc-reports-on-covid-19-412809)

I think that's due to the fact that most of the new infections here are people under thirty. Mayor is talking about shutting down the strip clubs because of recent outbreaks.

Yeah. Makes perfect sense if you are loking for a reason to close something you don't like. Crowded restaraunts with clothes = ok. Bars with clothes on = ok. Bars without clothes = bad. Uhh-huh.
Not that I have any love for strip clubs. But some politicians will use any crisis to push pet hate projects.

I still haven't been to a restaurant or bar since this all started.
313 new cases in Ontario today 112 in Toronto, up from 202 yesterday. Our highest number since June 5th, I think we're going to go into lock down again.

| Predictions for even just the us aren't all that rosy either. We have close to 300M people. It's thought that each person will need two doses. And some of the vaccines need to be stored at really, really cold temps. They still don't know for how long the vaccine will work. Will yu need a different strain every year like the flu? The logistics of this are crazy. Not to mention the expense. And until a sizable portion have received it, it will rage on, year after year. Not enough Covid vaccine for all until 2024, says biggest producer Source: Financial Times Stephanie Findlay in New Delhi and Anna Gross in London The chief executive of the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer has warned that not enough Covid-19 vaccines will be available for everyone in the world to be inoculated until the end of 2024 at the earliest. Adar Poonawalla, chief executive of the Serum Institute of India, told the Financial Times that pharmaceutical companies were not increasing production capacity quickly enough to vaccinate the global population in less time. “It’s going to take four to five years until everyone gets the vaccine on this planet,” said Mr Poonawalla, who estimated that if the Covid-19 shot is a two-dose vaccine — such as measles or rotavirus — the world will need 15bn doses. Based in the western Indian city of Pune, the family-run Serum Institute has partnered with five international pharmaceutical firms, including AstraZeneca and Novavax, to develop a Covid-19 vaccine and committed to produce 1bn doses, of which it has pledged half to India. The company may also partner with Russia’s Gamaleya Research Institute to manufacture the Sputnik vaccine. Mr Poonawalla said that the commitment far exceeded the capacity of other vaccine producers. “I know the world wants to be optimistic on it . . . [but] I have not heard of anyone coming even close to that [level] right now,” he said in a video call from London. Read more: https://www.ft.com/content/a832d5d7-4a7f-42cc-850d-8757f19c3b6b |
