Coronavirus

[Rubashov]

I would think skewed in a pretty massive understatement

Has this triggered any kind of conversation over there about what a bunch of incredibly unhealthy fat bastards you are ??

As a fairly unhealthy fat bastard i say **** you salad boy, i'll eat your corpse

So I've been maintaining a spreadsheet with both our national and Utah numbers. Here are a few snapshots...

October


November


Monthly so far


One thing I found interesting about yesterday's 11/4 numbers in Utah was that the "rest of the state" new case count exceeded the new case count from SL county. I don't think that's ever happened before. I reflect back on all those morons in St. George and other rural areas resisting mask mandates with claims that, "This virus isn't here!" Cool. But it will be. Wear the mask to prevent its transmission. Clearly, that didn't happen and all those packed rodeos, football stadiums, parties, restaurants, church meetings, etc are having a toll. I really don't understand why gyms are still open, indoor dining is still a thing, high school football is still going on with spectators, and why the LDS church hasn't acted more proactively (like they did in the spring) to help stop this thing from spreading... But whatever, I'm just a science believing lib in a sea of red stupidity (herd mentality) in Utah.

2,807 cases today. Just when you think there's a ceiling, we blow through it.

Taking my daughter to get tested this afternoon. If she's positive, will assume I have it as well I guess.

 

[Eminence]

Utah's got rookie numbers, Iowa almost hit 5k cases today.

 

[Avery]

Don't be surprised if the governor throws a curveball and decides to close all Utah schools for two weeks for distant education.

We are planning on schools not going back after the new year.

We are just under 3000 today. We're working on catching up to you.

That emergency alert just barely seems late. Statewide mask mandate incoming.

 

[The Thriller]

He can’t mandate stuff! Freedom!

 

[Avery]

In watching this, none of this is going to matter. Most counties have a mask mandate and they will delay school sports, but not football games. Social gatherings will be ignored.

Don’t expect any of this to move the needle. We will just continue to beat ourselves up.

Nice call

This certainly sounds encouraging....

Pfizer says early analysis shows its Covid-19 vaccine is more than 90% effective | CNN

Drugmaker Pfizer said Monday an early look at data from its coronavirus vaccine shows it is more than 90% effective -- a much better than expected efficacy if the trend continues.

Much better than the efficacy rates they were talking about of maybe 60% - 70%. We'll get more people to take the vaccine if we can prove the higher rates.

This is a comment on KSL for the story about this vaccine... Some people and math.

ShaveTheChildren · 7 hours ago
90% effective sounds really promising.But consider this. In nearly a year, only 4% of the population has tested positive. Many of those were asymptomatic, so even fewer actually got sick.That means social distancing and masking up is 96% effective

I’ll be down, but we’ll have to deal with this, from out of the conspiratorial stew...

Pfizer Said a Vaccine Was Almost Here. Anti-Vaxxers Lost It.

After burrowing on anti-lockdown Facebook groups and other social-media channels, conspiracy theorists were ready to pounce on promising news about a coronavirus vaccine.

www.thedailybeast.com

Claire Wardle, co-founder of the disinfo-busting nonprofit First Draft, said vaccine opposition has bled over into other conspiratorial movements during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a forthcoming report on the state of the anti-vaccination movement, she and other researchers found anti-lockdown Facebook pages to be a hotbed for vaccine resistance.

“It’s the same arguments being used about masks, it’s the same arguments being used about excessive quarantine that fits into that broader movement,” Wardle told The Daily Beast.

She noted that, in the past, anti-vaxxers tended to focus on debunked claims that vaccines cause autism. “This time last year, if you and I were having this conversation, there wouldn’t be such a natural home for these narratives to live,” Wardle said.

Now, she explained, anti-vaxxers are talking less about science and more about their “freedom” to refuse immunization. Blame a year full of lockdown opponents who claimed coronavirus protections, like masks and social distancing, were the pinnacle of government tyranny.

Wardle pointed to a convergence of conspiratorial tendencies around anti-lockdown Facebook pages, where members can now find anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, QAnoners, and anti-government militia members in one easy location. “The excessive quarantine Facebook groups have really become this umbrella space,” she said.
