We need the COVID Awards to replace the Darwin Awards. Winners determined by not just getting COVID, but getting it after being particularly fucking stupid about not getting vaccinated.
Viole's days are numbered. I've read the book. Gersen will track him down and get him eventually. But please don't tell him I said that. The man is hypersensitive to slights.
I already live on an island of mostly vaccinated people. It's called Manhattan. Unfortunately, we're a ferry ride away from another island of mostly unvaccinated yahoos who vote Republican and have shit for brains. It's called Staten, and the Delta variant is spreading widely and wildly there.
Yes! I followed a garbled IPCC distress call - something about the Wankh causing trouble on Old Earth. On arrival I found only wankers like the anti vaxxers above!
You have good taste. Vance has a unique voice and is one of my all time favorites. There are a few of us posting here - Viole Falusche shows up once in a while.
The research/study and discovery of the new variants, "∆+", should coincide with "boosters", with improved "boosters" or completely different formuli, to quell varients of CV.
We already have a foot-hold on how to conquer this beast we face.
It's a matter of time , and I think soon,, that this deadly threat will become as innoculus as malaria (then hydrox...may help), and mosquitos.
We're working on it, while naysayers do the best to make things worse. No time left for them.
Especially those Pharma commercials that tell you all of the possible side effects (how can taking a pill cause parasites?). The latest big Pharma things is once the all-clear is given, they are going to ramp up the cost of the vaxes for incredible profits - part of the reason they do not want to allow a temporary pause in patents for 3rd world countries
There is a death-rate of about 30% for those ventilated (stat from last year, YMMV); the process is so painful that the patients are put into a coma (drugged) until it over or they die
NOLA here as well, and second dose of Moderna in April.
While the great state of Louisiana wallows around at 30%ish vaccinated, NOLA itself stands at 52%. So there's that. Also, what do you think the actual rate must be for the rest of the state outside of New Orleans to drag that 52% down to the 30s? In the 20s? Low 20s?

Fuck 'em, let 'em die!

That is one gorgeous aquamarine cluster. One of my very favorite stones.

Sometimes I regret not having cable/equivalent - but, mostly, I would never have the time to watch all the weird wonderful stuff available

Hey, bro! Me, too, in N'wlins! My vax-time, 2x, was in Feb. (VA)! Still wear a mask indoors in public!
And 'dey t'hot we was stupids!

If he's talking about any time on Mud Island, I'll pass, for now!
I'd watch it (I had the same thought)
Anyone who is unvaccinated solely by choice can just go ahead and catch it and devil take the hindmost.
In my time in the Navy, I had a friend from Staten Island...He was moontan pale, blue-eyed, young...
He did his best to be well-liked among his fellow-sailors of different races, ethnics and beliefs,...
He succeeded in breaking away from his up-bringing.
