PhineasC Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If your viewpoint on all this was you were being a good citizen and would get a cookie from the government for taking the vaccine, and those who refused would get their comeuppance soon, I could see how this latest CDC guidance would really be depressing.

hammerz_nailz Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My haircut person retired so went to someone on a recommendation. As well as not being vaccinated she spent more time lecturing me on the merits of hydroxychloroquine than cutting my hair. She said most of her clients are older so figures she's safe dealing with mostly vaccinated folks. WTF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were willing to risk people lives in the here and now and keep the status rather than try to mitigate that. That guidance saved countless lives by mitigating the spread of an unknown commodity. We're still figuring out the virus day-to-day. I have no issue with the CDC updating guidance as the science evolves. Seems kind of ridiculous to have done nothing and let the virus just run it's course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countries that have good to great mask and "mitigation" compliance see the same kind of spikes. If masking shows a 1.5% decrease in cases, which their own CDC publication says (within the margin of error by the way) is it worth the consternation it causes? If so, people who want that 1.5% change must be for 25 mile per hour speed limits because we know speed kills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviewers asking her if it was even possible to beat her. She is very old for a gymnast. Team USA in general seems like kind of a mess, honestly.

It’s garbage guidance But it’s generally because they are not going to Trust unvaxxed folks to mask up so they do a blanket statement The overwhelming majority of Transmission is from unvaccinated people , that is the data , it makes no scientific sense to set the bar at zero transmission...so saying bc vaccinated people can spread the virus (but haven’t to a significant degree) that vaxxed are back wearing masks is nonsense scientifically . But making everyone wear masks is only way to make people who are more likely to spread it to slow transmission , thou it will still spread . That is what they are * really saying * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunafish Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 ^ I would counter that with this...what makes more logical sense to you? 'A new way to visualize the surge in Covid-19 cases in the U.S.' (ie, the rate of acceleration of cases)https://www.statnews.com/2021/07/26/new-way-visualize-covid-19-case-surge-us/New cases in states like LA & AR are growing even faster than last winter's 3rd wave. But looking at MA, which has had a 351% increase in cases over the last 14 days, one of the highest such percentage changes in the nation, case acceleration paints a different picture (see graphs in article).The Stat article didn't post graphs for every state. But if MA is any example, the higher immunized states do not seem to be on track for another big peak. Let's hope. I say immunized and not vaccinated because SD, which has one of the highest total infection rates per capita, is still doing as remarkably well as VT.

We're talking about the social distancing, lockdowns, capacity restrictions, etc... that were put in place. All those coupled together worked.
