Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

If they weren't dumbasses they'd be in the private sector.
I'm not so sure anymore, the way that public sector benefits far outweigh private sector benefits and they have increased their wages to "keep up" with the private sector. How many months of federal holidays do you offer your employees?

Good point.
 
On the edge of my seat here.

CDC expected to update mask guidance as early as next week

How is every level of leadership in government saturated with dumbasses.

CDC says they want local governments to make decisions based on local transmission. But then according to the CDC, the entire US is at “substantial” or “high” transmission rates. They define “substantial” transmission as 99.95% of people/100,000 not testing positive and “high” transmission as 99.9%/100,000 people not testing positive over a 7 day period.

I’m still trying to find where the definitions of transmission rates comes from. Or if it was just arbitrarily chosen.

A lot of ways to look at this.

Do they mean this as they need the entire population to test to prove they arent sick?

Or do they mean of those tested only that percentage can be sick.

Or do they mean of those tested against the entire population only a certain percentage can be sick?

Three completely different numbers and values.

This is the chart….

I can easily understand that point of view. The politicization of COVID form both sides has been shameful.
I have been on the side of moving back to normal as quickly as possible all along. I have lived my life that way over the past couple of years. I have been relatively pleased with GA's response - I think they hit the middle ground pretty well.
It was inevitable that some would want to take more aggressive actions than others.
I never really minded wearing a mask when it was required and never wore a mask when it was not. I'm going to a function over the weekend where masks are required. I think it is silly and unneeded, but I would rather comply than not go.
The vaccine issue became absurd. If there ever was a global pandemic that realistically threatened to wipe out 50% of humanity, I would support mandatory vaccines.

Who are you and what have you done with Luther?
 
I thought one of the therapeutic pills had like a 90% effectivity rate. How are 2000 people a day still dying in the US?
10 million doses due by the end of June. Another 10 million more by September. Not a lot out there right now. Only a couple hundred to some states. Too bad that wasn’t thought of earlier.
 
So, by this metric, if one kid gets sick during any given week in a school of 1,000, that's a "high transmission rate?" To reach low transmission, that would be the equivalent of 1-2 kids in the school catching the flu throughout an entire flu season.

Preposterous.
