I still don't think the vaccine has been studied enough /s

Another one of those sad stories we are going to see more of, esp. in certain areas...a 73 year old with heart problems had to be airlifted to another state, because the 43 other hospitals they tried to transfer him to didn't have an available cardiac bed. Needless to say, the delay probably was...

That's actually a huge problem...just telling people it is "the right thing to do" & that it is free, and/or telling them to go to Walgreens/CVS whatever (stores I *never* go to) isn't going to work. They need to do outreach/marketing/whatever. If this was a private firm and they could make...

There are treatments for needle phobia ("trypanphobia") https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4900415/ Of course, the number one effective treatment that won't cost you money for psychotherapy: LOOK THE OTHER WAY WHEN THEY GIVE YOU THE SHOT lol

I can't wait for Cyberpunk Resurrected! thanks, I was being facetious...I immediately tossed in my Matrix DVD and watched the first third again, last night... I didn't know about the right-wing polittical nutcases co-opting the whole thing; very sad.

Is that a euphemism for "old'? All those pills looked like the naproxen I take for pain, lol

No political weirdness? That's more than half the fun! This article explored vaccination in a rural part of the US...very interesting for a number of reasons, I could go on about it for hours for thousands of reasons, but I'll just stop and give you the link...

at least with Firefox, it isn't the next post, it just scrolls down the entire screen. I usually use the arrow keys anyway, much easier.

What's wrong with social pressure? If somebody is being a dumbass, why not call them out? I don't get angry, I just have to let them know, and I have to categorize people, so I don't have to think everytime I encounter that person or type of person. I remember an interview with David Robinson...

I think this is the start of a bad trend: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/09/idaho-begins-rationing-care-as-hospitals-crumple-under-covid-load/ I don't have time to pull together all the graphs and ICU bed availabilities, but unless there is a downtick in COVID cases *soon* (like, this...

I'll have to set an alarm for my 15 year anniversary...the game should be entering beta by then, right?

^ total "whataboutism"

Another one of those sad yet predicted problems...some poor person with a treatable medical emergency totally unrelated to COVID died because he couldn't get a hospital bed...

A surprising number of people seem to think that they can still get the vaccine & it will do something for them AFTER they have contracted COVID. Sadly, that is not the case, you gotta get the vaccine first... Yup, once your lungs are gone (or any major organ), the rest of the body is just...

Interesting epidemiolgical "experiment" --> a teacher (one of only 2 unvaccinated teachers in the elementary school) in Marin County, PRC (People's Republic of California) felt sick for two days...still went to work, teaching the *unable to be vaccinated* young children...despite school policy...

The hospital is out of options? Do they all know there is a vaccine for that? Oh, right...

the other part of the "worst case scenario" prediction is coming true: https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/26/us/covid-florida-doctor-cancer-patient/index.html

And another one bites the dust... https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/21/us/conservative-talk-show-host-phil-valentine-dies-covid-19/index.html What a boomer...he wrote and sang a parody called "Vaxman" (to the tune of the Beatles "Taxman") and sang it on the radio (what is that thing called...

I've never understood the Apple hate...I get that fanboi's are annoying, but if somebody is trying to make a decent or better product, why do you want them to fail? Plus, all the ground level people who are just trying to earn a living? It's like...it's like people hating Star Citizen, lol

Well, this is a new wrinkle...Orlando is asking people to conserve water, in part due to the demand for making oxygen for treating COVID patients...I hadn't expected this. First they wanted me to wear a mask, and now they don't want me to water my lawn? We might as well be living under the...
