6ix, you sound like Agent Smith in the Matrix. Or the Joker is every live action version movie about the Joker. 6ix, that is your nihilism talking about the end of the world. I see the same in Evangelical Christians, too, with their talk of Armageddon destroying everyone not their particular brand of Evangelical.

Some leaders (Trump) and some members of the public actively work to spread disease. Indeed, during today’s pandemic, it’s impossible to ignore the stark contrast between what is being asked of health care workers and the unwillingness of many Americans to make even the smallest sacrifice to protect others. Seeing the difficulty with which many of our neighbors summon even a modicum of respect for others’ lives is discouraging to say the least, and at times makes caring for patients on the front lines feel futile for physicians.

Yanno, we could stop Covid-19 almost dead in its tracks, if we just made N95s available to everyone, and they used them in indoor public exposure. Also, if people limited their household contacts and didn't hold big parties.

AND we could have prevented 40% ... 40%!! ... of deaths if nursing home and assisted-living workers followed better infection control procedures: N95s when on duty and hand sanitizing between patients, as well as UV disinfection of central air handling.

Seems simple, and minimal impact on anyone's freedoms. The only problems would be for dine-in restaurants, bars/nightclubs, and gyms, where people can't wear masks and still dine, drink, or exercise. People could still go to church (with N95s), or go grocery shopping (with N95s), or go out and run with the dog (keeping distance), or work (with N95s if they work closely indoors with others, like meat-packing plants or assembly-line etc) and the economy would still roll on with minimal disruption.

When I grocery shop I'm highly aware that in a grocery store with 200 people in it ... which is the norm for big stores ... three people are probably infected and don't know it. So far, even with those statistics, I've not gotten Covid-19, altho I shop in two stores once a week (N95), go to pharmacy and post office a few times a month (N95), and regularly walk the dog and chat with neighbors (outdoors, at a distance, with surgical mask).

There's no reason to believe or disbelieve in God or an Afterlife.

Personally, I'm of the mind that there is nothing after death. No thoughts. No memories. No fire. No clouds. No you.

This is the best that we get.




I'm not talking about armageddon or any other science fiction trope.

Humans will survive, as will many of the animals and plant life. But we're way out of equilibrium. There are far too many of us, and we just keep breeding and spreading like cancer. The viruses that pop up and make it on our radar to this point are just failed T-Cells.

Covid got it wrong too. Covid didn't help with that problem at all. Maybe the next one will.

Somebody has been telling everybody that masks extremely limit freedom:

Ten years ago, Dr. Kristina Darnauer and her husband, Jeff, moved to tiny Sterling, Kan., to raise their kids steeped in small-town values.

"The values of hard work, the value of community, taking care of your neighbor, that's what small towns shout from the rooftops, this is what we're good at. We are salt of the earth people who care about each other," Darnauer says. "And here I am saying, then wear a mask because that protects your precious neighbor."

But Darnauer's medical advice and moral admonition were met with contempt from some of her friends, neighbors and patients. People who had routinely buttonholed her for quick medical advice at church and kids' ballgames were suddenly treating her as the enemy and regarding her professional opinion as suspect and offensive.


That wedge is splitting off health care workers from communities that desperately need them.

More than a quarter of all the public health administrators in Kansas quit, retired or got fired this year, according to Vicki Collie-Akers, an associate professor of population health at the University of Kansas. Some of them got death threats. Some had to hire armed guards.

"These are leaders in their community," Collie-Akers says. "And they are leaving broken." Collie-Akers notes these professionals also leaving at a terrible time. The pandemic is still raging. Vaccines still need to get from cities to small towns and into people's arms; public health officers are as important as ever.

And who, she asks, is going to take the jobs health care directors are leaving?

"It's not a secret that the position is open because of extreme tension between the health department director and the city commissioner, county commission, or because the person has required a guard," Collie-Akers says.

I think people don't manage their population for the same reasons they pollute the planet for the same reasons they strip-mine every resource for the same reasons the vast majority live in poverty while less than 1% lives in unimaginable wealth for the same reasons COVID-19 is running across the planet.

People have severe evolutionary divots in their thinking and instinctive responses: 1) they believe what they're told even at the cost of trusting their own senses; and 2) their basic instincts are as group dwellers in deadly competition with other human groups, 3) they react hierarchically to concentrated (easily controlled) resources, like Jane Goodall's chimps.

That's not to say people can't change. After all, there are the peaceable baboons of Kenya, and the courtly bottlenose dolphins of Australia. Surely we're smarter than the average baboon. Right?

They questions are, why haven't we changed even as we see the cliff we're jumping off of; and what would it take?

Ask your friend on Nextdoor who let somebody crash their house the other night what happens when you "change".*

The problem isn't just that there are too many "bad" people and that there is never any foolproof way to know this ahead of time. The real problem is that every single one of us is capable of doing very bad things given the right circumstances.

Combined with this problem is the fact that outside of some things that are so abhorrent that the can be universally agreed on as unquestionably bad, the definition of "bad" can usually vary greatly from person to person. Hell, I'd guess that if you did a study where you asked 100 people what is "bad" on a list of 100 things once every decade throughout the course of their lifetime that you'd find their own answers vary greatly the longer that study went on.



*As an aside, after your Nextdoor post I went into some detail about the last time I had picked up a hitchhiker and recommended that nobody ever let strangers sleep in their house or get a ride in their car. This was the second of two bad incidents that made me stop picking up hitchhikers. The first one saw me convincing cops that I wasn't the getaway car for a guy who had knocked over a liquor store earlier that night...

What I didn't mention though is that I'd given rides to strangers many times in the years leading up to that and met some interesting people and had some interesting stories to tell because of it. But the window has closed on that opportunity in the future because it's just not worth losing your life over.

344,877___+3,076

December has been the nation's deadliest month since the Covid-19 pandemic's start -- with more than 63,000 Americans lost to the virus in the past 26 days.

In comparison, the entire month of November saw about 36,964 deaths.

I'll say it again. If you don't find this troubling you're a piece of shit and it's time you realized that. I think one of those many souls we lost this December may be our own Sister. She’s posted here since I’ve been here and before, practically daily. She always offered a kind thought. She came to be in my mind like the comforting weather girl recording in the movie Doc Hollywood Michael J Fox would listen to when he missed being home.

Sister posted covid had found a way into her home. She had already shared she had cancer. She hasn’t posted since December 16. All my hopes is she’ll get back to posting soon but I have concerns. One of my concerns is, like Oonjerah, she’ll have passed without hardly a notice after being the kind of Browncoat we should all aspire to be.

I hold out hope she’ll be back. I hope you do as well.

Poor Jack, he gets so irritated and distressed when he is shown to be a fool that he looks for any reason no matter how small, to avoid the gist of what was posted. In this case he seizes onto the word too. Well Jack, I hate to disappoint but a Microsoft word spelling & grammar check says the sentence is good to go. What’s the gest of that? It’s good enough for these threads. And, it’s good enough to make you look stupid once again. That is where your real talent rests.

Wow, as is the case most times, you manage to grab onto something that makes you look stupid in multiple posts. Way to go Jack=ass.

Yes, Jack. Everyone does die but you keep singling out the old. And death isn't solely the purview of the old. Babies die all over the world every day and some of them while still in utero without having even taken that first sweet breath of life.

Children of all ages and teenagers of all ages die every day all over the world. Some through accidents, some through undiagnosed medical conditions, some through war, some through criminal activity of their own doing as teenagers. Some because adults are being a-holes.

People in their 20s die every day all over the world as well from accidents, undiagnosed medical conditions, through war, criminal activity and some because other people are being a-holes.

Same thing for people in their 30s and into their 40s like you Jack.

And I for one am offended by your tag line. I do not need to justify my surviving something that would have put others into the ground.

Brenda never mentioned her "heritage". And you're so obviously twisted up with how you never got all the things your "specialness" entitled you to, that you can't even read straight.

Oh, and fwiw, next time you whinge about how the "economy was destroyed over nothing" or how people will commit suicide, I'll just point and laugh, and remind you that people lose jobs and commit suicide every day.

Because you don't give a fuck about anybody's death, so why would you give a fuck about their jobs, or their depression/ suicide.

You have to love the obvious when it comes to Sig. She refuses to acknowledge or state the apparent, Jacks a troll. The guy has no redeeming virtues whatsoever. She can't because she realizes she shares the same lack of ethics. It also opens her to an attack from Jack=ass she can't win. That she too is a troll.

’Inexcusable’: Sen. Mitt Romney slams feds' COVID vaccine rollout

As state and local governments struggle to vaccinate Americans for COVID-19, Sen. Mitt Romney blasted the federal government’s vaccine rollout plan Friday, calling it “incomprehensible” and “inexcusable.”

I wouldn't be so sure it's incompetence and not purposeful negligence, like slowing the mail. "Let's not be in too fast a rush... make sure we do it right... wink" its another way of putting his foot on the brakes without seeming to do so. He's been in a murderous mood lately - power tripping every time the numbers of dead people (Americans in this case) go up. He's a saddist - just another one of his *character traits.*

True G and also he has to own the news cycle. He's so sick a part of it may be that. Which, yes makes him a sadist. I'd add, there are a myriad of other things he's done that qualify him as being that as well.

Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, pushed back on claims by President Trump on Sunday that the federal government has "exaggerated" the COVID-19 death toll.

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” Fauci was asked by guest host Martha Raddatz about a tweet by the president calling the coronavirus case and death toll “fake news” and blaming it on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention methodology.

“Well, the deaths are real deaths. I mean, all you need to do is to go out into the trenches, go to the hospitals, see what the health care workers are dealing with. They are under very stressed situations in many areas of the country. The hospital beds are stretched,” Fauci responded.

“People are running out of beds, running out of trained personnel who are exhaustive right now. That's real. That's not fake. That's real,” he added.

It seems to me that we're being presented with a false dilemma: lockdowns or vaccination.

Treatment, prophylaxis (vitamin D), respirators, are all appropriate options. The anti- mask people are furthering this false dilemma by rejecting middle ground options.

"Discretion" isn't part of the new policy.

As a former EKG technician and EMT who participated in literally hundreds of "codes" (with only 1 brought in by ambulance who was ever successfully resuscitated and sent to the ICU - where he promptly died), let me provide some background.

The ultimate survival rate for people whose heart stops (asystole/ cardiac arrest) while not in a medical facility is as close to zero as you can get (0-2%) if someone doesn't start performing effective CPR within 3 minutes. https://www.statpearls.com/articlelibrary/viewarticle/17935/ Since MOST people suffer from this at home (75%), or in public (22%) your chances of surviving depend on the immediate presence of people nearby who notice, who will then try to give you CPR, who will be capable enough to perform it well enough the whole time while waiting for EMS, in order to keep you alive.

That's why the survival rate is so low for cardiac arrest outside of a medical facility. It depends on a set of circumstances that virtually never happen.



The policy says that if the person is in asystole when EMS arrives, AND no one has been performing CPR, AND the EMS crew can't restore a spontaneous heartbeat after at least 20 minutes of trying, the chances of survival are so low that the crew is THEN allowed to discontinue further medical resuscitation.

Nobody is saying that EMS is allowed to not treat or transport a person whose heart is beating and who is breathing, just because in their "discretion" they look too sick.

Trump will have the worst jobs record in modern U.S. history. It’s not just the pandemic.

Friday’s awful jobs report from the Labor Department showed there were still 3 million fewer jobs in the United States than there were on Inauguration Day 2017, when Trump stood in front of the capitol and vowed to reverse the American carnage.

No other modern president has left the U.S. with a smaller workforce than it had when they took office. Since the government started keeping track in 1939, no other president has even seen significant job losses during a single presidential term.

Everybody knows that full recovery won’t come until the virus is under control. And our path to getting the virus under control right now is either people behaving in a different way or mass vaccination. And on both of those fronts, it’s pretty clear that the administration has failed to deliver.

The administration resisted simple behavioral changes, such as wearing masks, that would have had no economic cost and have been shown to be effective in containing the virus.

We had a big advantage in terms of getting the vaccine. We are ahead of Europe in procuring it, but we don’t seem to be able to actually get the shot in people’s arms.

Glad you separated me from anti-vaccs, because I'm not anti-vaccine. I am, however, anti-mass-human-trial, which is what we have going on here. I'm never going to take a flu shot either, but I have to say that it was nice not getting the Mumps or Polio when I was a kid.

I dare you to show me one healthcare worker in LA County that is a Trumptard.

And the amount of black people who are actually BLM is in the low single digits with a majority of BLM being white college educated kids, so assuming that BLM members are going to be the only other people not taking the vaccine other than Trump supporters is absurd when the rate of black people who say they won't take it is over 80%.

Jef Rouner asks, “How do you respond to someone who says COVID has a 99.9% survivability rate?”

You say, “Well, you’re off by tenfold.” And then, you go into COVID’s other effects.

At the beginning, there was one paper that said that the fatality rate was something like 0.1 to 0.3%. That was based on a relatively small amount of data from California back when we weren’t doing a good job of testing. But later, much, much, much larger data sets put the fatality rate at somewhere around 1 or 2%.

Is a 1% fatality rate a big deal?

Oh, my goodness, yes. We would not tolerate anything else in our lives that had a 1% fatality rate.

And it’s not just the fatality rate, though we tend to obsess about that. But many people — the studies ranged from 20% up to around 50% — have what looks like long-lasting or permanent heart damage. I mean, it’s too early to say “permanent,” but it looks like the permanent heart damage that you’d see from other causes.

There is also damage to the brain. They call it “COVID brain” informally. We don’t know whether that cognitive function ever comes back.

And there’s a lot of other bad stuff. There’s damage to blood vessels, those things that are going to be under pressure for the rest of your life. COVID has caused quite a number of aneurysms, which is a ballooning in one of those vessels, a weak spot that is eventually going to break.

So when it comes to COVID, Nietzsche is completely wrong. Even if it does not kill you, it makes you very, very much weaker. So you should definitely avoid it.

Scary Covid. The virus hardly anybody gets and barely anybody dies from.




It sure does a great job at destroying economies and businesses, families, and driving people to drugs and suicide though.

You don't have to kill yourself, if have friends and family. But the kind of friends and family Trumptards have tend toward worthlessness. When a Trumptard is helpful, it becomes a news story. See for example "On the Road" www.cbsnews.com/evening-news/on-the-road/

Will Trumptard "friends" and family help enough to pull other Trumptards out of trouble? Not often, which is why there is only one story per week at "One the Road". It is hard work to find more than one of emotionally satisfying stories where a Trumptard helped. When a Trumptard does help, Trumptards tend to be too cheap, too stingy, too indifferent to provide much help.

6ix, are you still refusing to be vaccinated? Won't wear a mask? Not routinely doing what needs doing is a Trumptard characteristic, along with selfishness, the other distinguishing characteristic.

When I was a kid, I'd ask for help. Some would, some won't. Since I've known these same people for 50 years, I've been able to sort them out and even compare their distant past to whether they voted for Trump or not. Today's Trumptards were the useless, unhelpful, selfish people from 50 years ago.

These key psychological differences can determine whether you're liberal or conservative

Liberals and conservatives don't just differ politically. According to scientific research, people on different ends of the political spectrum differ psychologically too.

Fear is linked more often to leaning conservative, whereas feeling safer can lead people to lean more liberal.

Liberals and conservatives also tend to show compassion to different groups of people.

The following are of the 15 biggest psychological differences academics have found between liberals and conservatives around the globe.

Top Biden Official Warns U.S. Covid Deaths Will Pass 500,000 in Weeks

Ron Klain, President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s incoming White House chief of staff, had a dire forecast for the course of the coronavirus outbreak in the new administration’s first weeks, predicting that half a million Americans will have died from the coronavirus by the end of February.

Congratulations, 6ix, for not knowing anybody dead! We should all recall that Trump said 100,000 to 200,000 total deaths would count as a "very good job." The death toll will surpass 400,000 by the time he leaves the WH. On "Face the Nation," incoming CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said "we expect half a million deaths in this country" by mid-February. (Most deaths in the World! That makes Trump the Best in the World at killing Americans.)

As always when I go shopping and I see people I know, I stop to chat. It turns out that one of their relatives died of COVID-19 and another is still in intensive care. On a per capita basis, California is in the bottom 25 for total deaths, so I wonder why I seem to know so many people who've had friends, neighbors, and relatives die of COVID-19. Maybe LACounty is an exceptional hotspot for it, even where I live? (non-minority, solid working-class, suburban)

The C-19 fatality rate in the US iz now .12%

Thats for the entire population, not just for verified Covid casez. That rate iz 1.6%

If C-19 infectionz continue to outpase vaccinationz we can expect the deth toll to reach 5 million wen everybody got it.
