    There isn't one really... least you (meaning society) can't really force the issue. So ignore it as he suggested.

    Just that Poland has been experiencing some problems from right wing anti-vaccination activists. I found more information from Bloomberg than from a team I work with in Poland, they didn't know anything this morning.

    He's describing exactly what he said. Herd Immunity. You must have missed it.

    Tank(Nova) VS Ballista

    Originally I just bought the A2, which came with a tonk on concept... who knows maybe it still does. Then they released the Ballista. Then I bought a C2 and M2... and my bank account said "You're done for a while... maybe a long while"

    Read this, before you read anything from Fox or CNN (my advice). This describes what scientists mean when using the term gain-of-function research. Pay special attention to the last two paragraphs - but read the whole thing...

    Thinking about GPU options...

    I have no idea about AMD pricing, but you certainly don't have to aim at the latest and greatest. Example, I'm still using a Nvidia 1080Ti. I can get up to 50 FPS in SC, but it depends on which monitor I'm using and which resolution. I get 30 FPS at 3440 X 1440. That is the highest...

    Tank(Nova) VS Ballista

    So can I, in fact I have 3 Hercs. That's not the problem. To Tonk or Ballista, that is the problem: Whether 'tis nobler in the body to suffer The shakes and clanking of outrageous vehicles, Or to take Missals against a Sea of enemies, And by opposing end them:... Not really great, I kind of...

    I'm not making a distinction, and I didn't mention masks. What I said was a the event was the wakeup call for the CDC. You're putting an awful lot of responsibility on Dr. Fauci and the CDC that isn't theirs to bear. The CDC has nothing to do with the vaccines. They didn't develop them, the...

    That's pretty much what I said... For the record, there is a large gulf between people getting sick, and people getting hospitalized.

    We are experiencing a wave of Delta in the US. The July 4th event he spoke of was the wake up call (Provincetown July 4th event). That was Delta. 882 people got sick, 75% of whom were vaccinated. The outcome of this was the CDC recognized that the Delta variant was able to infect, and be...

    lol... Yanno, the way the medical system works in the US is interesting. Expensive, but interesting. Remember I come from a place that has a health care system much like yours.

    I think the point is, the smoke has been noticeable for a lot longer than COVID has been around. I can attest to that from first hand experience. It's been a systemic issue.

    My hat's off to your uncle. A paramedic can be an unsung hero in the best of times, let alone during a pandemic.

    I totally agree. The evidence is that this young lady was being dramatic, it's understandable given the stress load many health care workers, nurses, and doctors are under. But it's still just drama. That said, 3% of ICU availability is a problem, overcapacity in ICU is a crisis you want to...
