I don't think we are ever going back to that, at least in this country, even were the virus to come back anew, full-strength, like it did last year.  Because we have comparatively weak national leadership, where governors, mayors, and even local sheriffs (as happened just one county north of Seattle, you may recall) can basically thumb their noses at enforcement (remember sanctuary cities) each jurisdiction has effectively imposed what level of control it demands/can tolerate politically, and that's entirely appropriate.  The illusion I think most of you operate under is that someone is actually in charge.

I am seeing some retrospective reevaluations of lockdown policies from some surprising quarters, for example

https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/coronavirus-covid19/22456544/covid-19-mask-mandates-lockdown-debate-evidence

and this state has recently adjusted its website to show vaccination rates by county (which of course tie closely with who they voted for),  we should be able to clearly see what difference vaccinations make, which is of course what people like me are hoovering to watch the hammer drop on all you scofflaws.  If the red counties which have basically ignored everything don't flare up this fall, people in government will begin to ask reasonable questions, and the people demanding that government do something will have to argue that those things actually work.

Weird. When Trump was in power there apparently were people in charge who crafted this Draconian lockdown and some of them got rich off it. Now that he’s gone they’ve all gone back to abdicating their responsibility again, huh? ???

"This Draconian lockdown" doesn't exist.  There is no nationwide lockdown in the European sense, it's your governor under his emergency powers.  There is no real national strategy except for border control and vaccine delivery.  It's only the blue states that tried to follow the CDC, the rest ignored it (and seemed to do no worse).

Yeah, and Antifa is just an idea.  ::)



Nice cover up attempt. Please! We’ve all heard it before.

Have you no shame? ::) ::)

Took a few tries but another person got the scissors to stick to her:


Neat!  I will try it with a pin, or maybe a needle.  There seems to be some polarity to it, too.

I can’t. The lockdowns drove her out of business. :'(

The 'two societies': 97% of new COVID cases are among people who haven't gotten the shots

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/the-two-societies-97-of-new-covid-cases-are-among-people-who-havent-gotten-the-shots/


You filthy coofers  >:( >:( >:(

Quote
What happened is Duchin had been noticing that disease transmission seemed to be increasingly located in spots across the county where vaccination rates were low.

Example:  In the 98022 zip code, in the Enumclaw area (where one of my Trumpy uncles lives) only 52.9% of  the folks there 12 and up had been vaccinated as of this past week -- which is one of the lowest case rates in King County.  n the two-week period ending in mid-May, that zip code also had the highest COVID case rate in the county, at more than 400 cases per 100,000 people.

...


Duchin insists it isn't true that everybody has had the chance to get a shot.  It's not time yet, he said, to assume that allhave made their personal health choices, and to just let the virus run.

But that day is coming.

(He said, with barely suppressed glee  8))

Quote
Some sizable share of people are going to refuse to get vaccinated, he suggested, and with the disease already so overwhelmingly concentrated among them, the "two societies" appears inevitable.

"We will have to live in equilibrium with a level o disease that results from having a proportion of the population unvaccinated,", hesaid.  Meaning:  Periodic outbreaks, hospitalizations, deaths, potentially cycling for years.

For reference, Duchin is the turd who wants us to keep wearing masks.  Since they apparently have zip-code-level data now, I expect to see overlay hotspot maps with 2020 election returns within a day or two.

So then, who cares? Let the virus do it's thing. I have chosen not to get the shot, and I'm not asking any politicians to protect me, I'm not asking others to wear a mask to protect me, I'm not demanding that society stay shut down to protect. me.

To keep things in perspective, I have a Sherman unicycle (I believe that fastest stock uni made) arriving this week. Is it more of a risk for me to mix with traffic doing 70 KMph, or to breath covid infested air? Exactly. I'll take my chances and know my risks (for both activities.) Don't get me wrong- the longer these jackasses keep things shut down, the more deserted the streets, and the better for my riding.

*The RS will move to offroad use, the Sherman will be for mostly road use and general travel. The star of the video below? The Sherman...

That is 🔥🔥🔥!  Yes I totally get the risk, it is so small to normal people that it can be safely used as a political football in a way it wouldn't be if it were something truly dangerous.  However your assessment of risk is entirely individual; here there are serious discussions about the "moral duty to not be part of a transmission chain" which play really well to us do-gooders but sink like a rock in the countryside.

Who cares?  That's exactly the point; Duchin obviously doesn't care (strange for a health director), is not coming for you, and is instead happily flogging it for a political score -- anyone here who hears "Enumclaw" knows exactly who he is talking about.  Duchin is such an ass, probably praying for the plague to strike.

Both sides have made their choices, can leave each other alone, and eagerly watch for disastrous side effects of the vaxx or the winter coof to thin the numbers of the other.  Just horrid  ;D

I say that because, looking at the zip-code map history put out by his office you can see exactly why he started talking that way, it's because for the first time the Enumclaw-area cases pulled ahead of what has been for months the real hotspot of South Seattle (black and brown people) where it is more appropriate to talk about barriers to access.

But the differences aren't even as stark has he would make out:  more than 70% of the 50+ in Enumclaw are vaxxed.  Like my aunt who quietly got the shot even though my uncle churns out antivaxx shizzle on facebook every day hahaha.  It is just a lot of noise.

This lady had to sue the damn hospital to get her Covid 19 coma stricken Mother Ivermectin. Crazy.

I think I have come up with a novel solution for a novel virus and a novel vaccine for society. I call it the "separate but equal" plan. In order to protect the virtuous vaxxed from the coofers, public and private facilities, sports arenas, dining establishments and places of worship would have two separate but equal areas.

For example, a stadium could reserve the lower section for the vaxxed and leave the nosebleed higher levels for the unvaxxed. Restaurants could reserve tables next to the washrooms and garbage dumpsters for the unvaxxed as a service knowing that they will likely require a place in which to be sick due to their diseased status. Transit could continue the regular routes for the virtuous vaxxed and run a parallel service four times per day for the diseased who would also be allowed to hitch a ride in the back of any garbage wagon that passes.

The white sands beach could be the playground of the immunized while a beach near the sewage outlet reserved for those who don't care about their health anyways.

I don't think that this idea of "separate but equal" has ever been tried and seems destined for success.
