    fuck it is sad that this simple concept is completely lost on some folks.

    I’m on team, this peaked Aug 11th. I have nothing to qualify this with other then the study posted pages back. This virus seem to really do it’s own thing. Mitigation efforts seem to move case load somewhat but overall trends seem like they do what they do. Let’s see that Frikin steep decline of positive cases please.

    Aug 11 is the foretold peak!

    You would be crazy to. It is entirely too humid. Retirement should be in the mountains during the summer and on the beach in the winter.

    Not quite. A Newsweek article explained this pretty well. Thankfully the spike protein on the virus can only undergo so many changes before it becomes non functional. Of these hundred or so changes a handful might make the virus nastier, i.e., Delta. The article notes an important difference between Covid and the Flu virus is Covid cannot mix and match genetic material between different variants so Covid should not require a "guess" on what vaccine to manufacture to maintain efficacy. And in my expert opinion there are only so many letters in the Greek alphabet. So we have that going for us.

    You need to watch more doctor dramas on TV.

    Cloudcroft. Great place. You can be snowed/hailed on and 30 minutes later be sweating in White Sands.

    Are you an MD? That's why i was asking Sawbonz. 10 4. My bad. Enjoy Colorado.

    You don't think the risks are bad for vaxxed people? Serious question. I'm also considering putting the gym on hold again. I personally do not. I had a breakthrough and the only reason I know is I had to get tested after a conference to go back to the office. It is crazy how much the symptoms vary from person to person but for me it was simply a dry cough. No fever. No aches. Perhaps some fatigue. I still did cardio with no problem during my time at home. I don’t think I’m anything special. Especially seeing some very athletic people that were struck down by this disease. I’m sure the vaccine is what helped. Not that it means anything but my reaction to shot #2 was fairly bad.

    Haha. I’m aware. It’s something I think about when flying my own plane with my current skill level. What are the odds? I keep going up. You are right. If air travel had 2% chance of crashing people are not going. Thankfully being vaxxed I’m sure my chances of becoming a Covid fatality are very very low.

    How cheap is the flight and where is it going?

    That is a good point. Another variable that makes drawing parallels difficult is our vaccinations are not equal across a much large geographic area. I'm sure the U.K. has areas where vaccination rates are much lower but when Texas alone is almost 3x the size U.K. the spread will behave different.

    @Brisketexan Let's hope we get through the burn through quicker then numbers published out of India. India: Estimated start of Delta increase to peak is Feb. 28 (perhaps a few days earlier) to May 8th is 70 days. U.S. chart: July 5th could be considered the beginning of the rise of Delta. 70 days takes us to Sept. 13th but we are have a much higher rate of vaccination then India. I hope we are very close to peaking and watching the Delta #'s fall of a cliff soon (I'd really like that tweet referenced earlier to be right about peak on 8/11). The U.K. peaked and fell off from high after ~32 days with 58% fully vaccinated to our 50% according to NYT.

    I am curious how ICU beds are classified in that tweet. I thought this infographic from TMC was helpful breaking out ICU status for the med center. Either way it is getting gnarly in not a good way.

    Live look at (some) schools contract tracing:

    Oh I know you are right. I got three solid weeks with the toddler and infant in WY over July which was amazing. The work piled up during my hiatus and I did not anticipate having to quarantine for two weeks once I got back. My only productive time has been nap time. As I write this I should probably be off Surly right now.

    I’m so happy I work for a small company and we only have 8 folks in the office. I’ve been working from home for two weeks now and it’s driving me crazy. Next week I’m back in the office. I miss my 15 minute commute routine and not being interrupted by my two year old yelling, “Daddy, where are youuuuuuuuuu???” every 5 minutes. Developing API integrations is not conducive with a toddler and infant.

    That is awesome. And…

    That usually happens when the guy running is the WR holder and he sets a new WR.

    That is what I heard too so I probably had it. At this point just glad to be vaccinated and as far as I can tell I did not spread any virus to anyone else.

    The WSJ article is not a troll post (perhaps the delivery was trollish). My career has pivoted to "green" energy so I am all for increased adoption and the amount of money I see being thrown around makes me believe we are going there. As I have come to find out there are many different shades of green as we transition to "new" energy sources. A lot of this green, zero net carbon, use clever marketing and hide some inconvenient truths.

    There is no free lunch. Negging the post is a bitch move.

    I supposedly got a breakthrough infection (Pfizer. Last shot in May). Only symptom was slight cough. Work had everyone who attended our last conference take a test. This is my 4th test to take since last year and I’ve been positive for 3 out of 4 so not sure I trust the rapid test that much. Symptoms (cough) lasted 4 days. I never had a fever or anything else. Thankfully the rest of the family has yet to develop anything. They are 8 days in now from when I was possibly symptomatic with a cough. edit: I should add this is the first time taking a test with an actual symptom. Other times I was tested to visit my grandmother in a nursing home. I had to push that visit back 2 months because of positive tests.

    First time I’ve seen either of those establishments sober. Weird.

    When it is beach volleyball I am definitely on Team Canada.
