nah, while covid is killing a shitload of people, it's not coming close to taking enough to make a difference in pollution or carbon production...although it does seem to be taking a high proportion of people who favor bad climate policies...hmm, maybe you're right, afterall
Logic doesn't work with some folks, so I use a large amount of sarcasm. Like when you encounter all the folks outside an office smoking, stop and tell them how much you appreciate them saving Social Security. I may not have got anyone to stop smoking, but they did have to think about their morbidity for a minute.

Colorado Governor signs order saying that people can be turned away or sent to another facility in case of over crowding...says nothing about your vaccine status...

too bad, they should be able to turn away the unvaccinated...they had literally thousand of opportunities to get vaccinated, and they declined, so hospitals should be able to decline to treat them, in favor of the vaccinated
was it singapore that says unvaxxed would have to pay out of pocket for hospital costs?? i like that idea. don't let insurance cover it.

Shaking hands is dumb. I remember people started doing it in high school. That's when you knew the person was going to be an asshole. Same with most of my 20s.

Unless we are both wearing dress shoes, there is never a reason to shake my hand.
My old bones are all painful, but especially in my hands. My Monday night customer is a squeezer when he shakes hands, so I've had to get him on the fist bump bandwagon. He means no harm, but my hand can be sore for days afterward.

I have been getting the feeling lately that the people who still want to shake hands are also the of the no-mask mindset.

I have a hard time not dialing it back and find myself going back to my wrestling handshake in these moments.
That's what was so weird, masks are fine. Nobody complains, they all like to have their little personalized designs or whatever. Even bust each other's chops if anyone forgets.

Shaking hands is all they know and they were all just stoked to be at in person meetings.

Austria will enter lockdown and make COVID-19 vaccines mandatory

VIENNA — Austria will go into a national lockdown to contain a fourth wave of coronavirus cases, Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced Friday, as new COVID-19 infections hit a record high amid a pandemic surge across Europe.

The lockdown will start Monday and initially will last for 10 days, Schallenberg said.

And starting Feb. 1, the country will also make vaccinations mandatory.

With vaccines, antibodies, anti viral medications, other treatments, sensible public policy and masks, covid is becoming somewhat manageable. The wise will be well enough protected soon with boosters and other treatments, but it will continue to kill and fuck over the fools. There is vaccine pill and antibody pill that can give 6 months of immunity on the way too, so maybe more will take an oral vaccine or booster. We are about 2 years into this shit and there are now several vaccines and an expanding menu of treatment options. We are in the scientific payoff period now and we are starting to see the results from multiple lines of research, everybody is throwing a lot of money and time at this issue and there will be plenty new treatments and vaccines, as well as spillover benefits for other diseases.

Great, so stop and frisk for Covid papers. I wonder how many American minorities would be killed by police because of increased contact.
