COVID-19

Gate guard at the compound as I’m swiping in:
“Do you have a mask?”

Me: “Uhhh, yeah, in my pocket?”

GG: “You have to wear it anytime you are outside your car on compound...”

Me: “ “Okay...””

Got inside to see the new Memo “all masks, all the time, everywhere....”

so fucking stupid...glad I am keeping the cars outside safe at 0645, they are the only thing I see between my car and the front door...

Fun watching the DoD slowly ratchet to full retard on this.
 
This will help with tracing and tracking the spread.

Fear of new virus variant pushes U.S. toward more genomic sequencing

The United Kingdom’s use of genomic sequencing to identify a more infectious strain of SARS-COV-2 has largely served as a wake-up call for inadequate use of...

"Growing concern about “hyper-transmissible” new strains of SARS-COV-2 has raised more awareness about the nation’s lack of federal funding and development of the kind of genomic surveillance that helped the U.K. identify the B.1.1.7 strain and South Africa pinpoint the B.1.351 strain in December. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Jan. 15 it’s likely that B.1.1.7 will become the most dominant form of the virus in the U.S. by March.
“We simply do not have the kind of robust surveillance capabilities that we need to track outbreaks and mutations,” President-elect Joe Biden said Thursday, when he called for a dramatic boost in genomic sequencing and surveillance as part of his proposed $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.

Up until mid-December, the U.S. had sequenced about 0.3% of its COVID-19 samples, a percentage that is significantly lower than other developed countries despite the fact that it has one-fourth of the world’s cases.
In comparison, the U.K. is sequencing about 10% of its samples, and Australia aims to real-time sequence all of the relatively limited number of positive COVID-19 tests there. "


This may become the new concern. E484K is called an escape mutation because it helps the virus slip past the body’s immune defences.

Covid-19: The E484K mutation and the risks it poses

The mutation E484K, first identified in the South African SARS-CoV-2 variant, has now been identified in the UK fast-spreading variant, prompting fears the virus is evolving further and could become resistant to vaccines. Jacqui Wise looks at what we know so far The E484K mutation is not a new...

Yep. Said that almost 3 weeks ago.

I think this will become a bigger issue going forward.

This will destroy the airlines and severely damage the economy with it. “They” need to stop the narrative of asymptomatic spread. Reference earlier posts with studies saying an asymptomatic spreader is more difficult to find than a needle in a haystack.

And I’m sure they will still require masks anyway. You know, just to be super duper sure and safe. “Didn’t I just test negative, along with literally everyone else here?” “But the tests could be wrong!!!” “Then why did we even bother in the first place”. Coronabros are very good at circular logic like that.

This x 1,000,000,000

I live in Loudoun County in Northern Virginia and the parents of school aged kids are becoming unglued, literally by the day. The lockdowns and school closures were, and continue to be, an unmitigated disaster. The Libtards own this - 100%. And they are starting to figure it out. Too bad for the kids though . . .

Now, in places like Chicago the democrats are fighting against themselves. Mayor of Chitown wants kids back in the classroom, but the teachers unions are saying Not so fast...

Covid-19 Pandemic Pushes More Parents to Go All-In for Home Schooling

The number of families home-schooling their children has jumped during the pandemic.
www.wsj.com www.wsj.com

^ This is an absolute travesty. The federal government should adopt a nationwide school vouchering system immediately, requiring all state and local jurisdictions to return all per-student costs of K-12 education to parents who choose to homeschool their kids rather than put up with inadequate zooms/classrooms. But this administration won’t, because of teachers unions.

We were homeschooling years before all this craziness started. People seem to be catching on as if this were a new thing. People ask how doing school at home is going, we just respond..uh, just like normal?!?
 
Open at least one day a week? Hope they’re going for the whole undersell and overdeliver routine with this but wow.

Keep in mind these kids will have been out of school for over 400 days at this point. Would love to know how many of the coronabros have school-aged children on here. Or did, for that matter. And could imagine having kept their children out of school for that long at any point. It’s unfathomable to me how politicians are willing to play with people’s lives like this.

My kids are 7th/8th graders, been out a year this week. Not going well...
My daughter is getting a 29% in one class, 3 F’s, 2 D’s, and a B (in science!) because they expect us to be up their ass every day over their homework/class work/random quizzes that may/may not work.

6X 30 minute classes, 2 hour lunch, they spend more time taking attendance than anything else.

Thankfully my son at least figured it out...

I want my fucking tax-dollars back. Wasted money on infrastructure I’m not using and teachers that aren’t working.

Not gonna fill out that gubmint teat paperwork the school district keeps harassing us about until they are full time back in school.
