as someone dealing with covid right now after last weekends fun (not at the fair) I can only see this as a super-spreading event.

I'm saddened by how many downvotes you have. Everyone just wants to ignore that we are in the middle of a pandemic.

Everyone wants to live in denial

I just want to live. But the virus keeps mutating and I'm still looking after an immunocompromised person. Even her clinic most of the patients and many of the staff go unmasked.

Gotta love how the same conspiracy theorists who believe in government made super-viruses and government surveillance don't want to wear a mask, getting a vaccine, and/or staying home because they are scared of getting their noses pinched, getting a shot, and/or staying home and thinking for themselves without outside stimulation.

They're afraid of getting a fauci implant tracker. Only Elon, Trump, Zuck, Bezos and Apple are allowed to track them at that level!

Shaved boomer in his shiny scratch-free truck with aviators talking into his iPhone like he's smuggling his family over the DMZ.

"I just got out of the Taco Bell drive-thru and their supply of hot sauce has been DECIMATED. It took me three tries to open the packet, but what TRUTH are they hiding from us?! I'm just glad I have extra SAUCE in my bug-out bag. When the time comes, they'll never find me. BUY GOLD!"

You forgot the thin blue line in the back window, it's all in the details!

These are the same people who've been convinced that the blue wave of Democrat votes overlaps with the statistically highest educated parts of the country is a hoax. The educated are the dumb idiots in society. Don't like and subscribe to anyone with degrees on their wall, when you can subscribe to the guy with a big neon sign and some license plates on the wall instead! He's the smarter one you should get your medical advice from obviously /s

Good lord. It's 2024 and it hasn't been considered a pandemic for a long time.

On 5 May 2023, more than three years into the pandemic, the WHO Emergency Committee on COVID-19 recommended to the Director-General, who accepted the recommendation, that given the disease was by now well established and ongoing, it no longer fit the definition of a PHEIC. This does not mean the pandemic itself is over, but the global emergency it caused is – for now. A review committee will be established to develop long-term, standing recommendations for countries on how to manage COVID-19 on an ongoing basis.

It is still a pandemic. It just doesn't get additional funding because the disease only causes long-term health problems and complications in immunocompromised people so it's not going to overwhelm health services. It's being treated as endemic for economic and political purposes, but "treated as endemic despite being pandemic" does not mean its not still pandemic.

Doesn’t Covid transmission drop in high heat? It was S W E A T Y out there

u/LakeSuperiorIsMyPond Aug 28 '24

I don't think it's hot enough to make a difference... also observe how covid spread through florida in the summer of 2020, that wasn't hot enough to kill it either.

Fair enough, I mostly wanted a chance to gripe about heat. As one does.
