    New and Unsurprising Study from Yale School of Public Health to Be Released

    in General Discussion

    Just got my (delayed because of a case of shingles) second booster last night, so I'm a little loopy today. If this article has been posted already, please let me know and I'll delete this.


    My favorite paragraph in the piece: "In Texas and Florida, SARS-CoV-2 variants caused over 44,000 and 40,000 COVID-19 deaths respectively, more than in any other state. On a per capita basis, West Virginia and Kentucky suffered the highest number of variant deaths, with 229 and 212 deaths per 100,000 people, respectively. The findings likely reflect differences in vaccination coverage, prior immunity, use of non-pharmaceutical interventions, demographics, and social vulnerability."

    Study: COVID-19 variants responsible for nearly half of one million U.S. Deaths
    COVID-19 variants were responsible for approximately 460,000 deaths in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic, according to a new preprint study released this

    To my mind, here's the money quote: “The findings reiterate a basic truth that the U.S. has tragically tried to ignore,” said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen. “There will be no end to the pandemic here in the U.S. until there is an end to it everywhere. For our own national interest, not to mention for humanitarian reasons, we must lead the way in providing full funding for the global effort to vaccinate, test and treat everyone.”

    Rats, I was just now over on Reddit HCA, reading that health workers are being coerced into working whilst Covid positive.

    What hope is there for immunosuppressed people?

    This is alt-Reich, Social Darwinism in action.

    I believe they think that getting rid of "useless eaters" will boost the economy. Talk about dystopian!

    My gawd. I have to get that 5th dose asap.


    The absolute truth is that very, very few people are testing anyway. And if they do test it looks like the at home ones just aren’t picking up the Omi. So even best efforts are failing which means unintentional spread AND intentional. We order all the free test kits and I test religiously because I’m exposed to morons constantly. I need Paxlovid immediately if I get it so I don’t want to waste any time. I was just at the public library on Thursday and they had a whole table full of free test kits. 2 per customer. I was the only person that took them. People are just stupid AF in the USA. I was pleased to see a lot more masks on Friday, though. I’d say maybe 30% were masked. Definite bounce upward. But I’m in a blue state and it’s still majority behaving as if it’s not a pandemic. I heard someone last week say it’s over, another said “post pandemic”. I just want to write a dark comedy screenplay where this was a zombie virus and just use actual quotes from Republican politicians as the slow motion horror plays out.

    I am ENRAGED. A dear friend reached out to me this afternoon; he's a recent cancer survivor, vaxxed and one booster (he was scheduled for booster #2 but now has had to postpone that), and he caught Covid from an unmasked coworker. The coworker and the coworker's wife both have Covid, and the wife was threatened with firing from her employer if she didn't show up at her job in a local grocery store WHILE HAVING AN ACTIVE CASE OF COVID. I called the store manager and gave him a piece of my mind, and he shunted the responsibility to the owner. I told him I would let everyone I know in that town what the deal is with the store's shitty Covid policy, and I made good on that. In the meantime, my dear friend just started Paxlovid, but I'm truly afraid for him, and I know he's scared, too. He was masked with KN95 at the office, but the coworker was coughing and sneezing all over the place. FUCKING FUCK.

    STFU! WTF is this shit?!?

    Butch, I am so sorry to hear about your friend and I hope that he will be ok with the antiviral, maybe he can get other treatments as well to help him thru this. I am so very glad he has you on his side and I am glad you spoke up and out about the grocer. I would love to know how you let peeps know what was going on and what the response is?

    I am so sorry I don't know you in person, because I would totally have you back!!

    Please know that I am thinking about you friend as well as you in Colorado!🤗

    Also, fuck those fucking fuckers!

    @Liverpool - My friend and I are both in western Massachusetts, not in Colorado. DeathofRats has the scenario exactly correct, and it's nationwide.


    As for how did I let peeps know? I PMed them via Facebook's Messenger app and let them run with it. There was universal rage/anger, and I imagine there were phone calls to the grocery store.


    My friend is 30 hours into Paxlovid treatment. He said last night was the worst: very high fever, chills, coughing, hallucinations. Mid-morning today, his fever broke. He is very weak. I check in with him every four hours. He lives alone. His ex-boyfriend is a caterer and is dropping off pre-made meals on the doorstep. I am very, very worried, but glad that the fever is broken.

    Thing is, the fact that the death rate isn’t going up like it has during other surges is making people lower their guard even more. I still mask up when going inside stores, but I never see anyone wearing masks anymore. I going to end up the town pariah because I still wear them. People look at me like I’m daft. But I don’t want a case of COVID and I certainly don’t want long COVID. There are other outcomes besides death that suck.

    Thank you, 'Pool. It's been 8 weeks of agony, which only started letting up this week, and I finally felt strong enough to get my 2nd Pfizer booster. In early May, I got completely overwhelmed by all that was going on in the real world and, compounded with feeling so damned ill and conducting a major job search at the same time, I stepped off of all social media and SAV to try to get myself in hand. I am doing better now, I just accepted a job offer with a wonderful, local non-profit organization, and I'm carefully returning to the online world. I live in Massachusetts, which is a far safer place to live, particularly as a queer person.

    @Liverpool My own experience with Shingles vaccine, (1st shot, just 2 weeks ago): it seemed to cause a mini-recapitulation of my MS symptoms -- my legs went totally rubbery, plus vertigo (I was walking into walls), fatigue, and weakness. But only for one day. (Totally, 100% worth it, IMO.)

    My second "Shingrix" shot, which people tell me often hits harder, is due in 6 weeks. I'll make sure to schedule it before a day off from work. $.02/ymmv

    First off, OMG, you poor thing!! Seriously. I am so sorry you were going thru all that. "Shingles", I horrible, and I am so glad that you are feeling better now. And YAY!! So glad you got your second booster, that's awesome! Well, I am sure the side effects will wear off soon, and you'll be back to yourself. Yeah, I was wondering where the hell you were at because I hadn't seen you in a really long time, so I am super stoked you're back, and feeling a lot better.

    Now, for the article, OMG, dude, I hadn't seen this one before, I mean I knew there had been an epic amount of death in both states, especially since Floriduh has Ron DeathSentence as Gov. And Texas, I mean what a better way to do population control. Hopefully, you don't live in either of those states.


    ***Even if the article had been posted, which, I am sure hasn't, please DON'T TAKE DOWN, your posts because it then removes ALL the comments, yeah, besides that it's great you are back!!***😉

    There's still the question of Omicron var. b4 and b5. They haven't caused excess death in South Africa, but USA conditions are different.


    Also the terrible conditions for the poor peasants in North Korea; no vaxxes, no treatments. The WHO has said that is a worry for emergence of new variants.
