Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

This fight is for everything.

Excellent news, IMO:

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an order late Friday requiring masks in interstate transportation and at transit hubs, including airplanes, mass transit, taxis and trains, starting late Monday.

The CDC said the mask mandate, effective from Feb. 1 at 11:59 p.m. EST, also covers ride-share vehicles and subways and makes not wearing a mask as instructed a violation of federal law. The order does not apply to private cars or commercial trucks being driven by a sole operator…

… Since the pandemic first emerged, there have been 7,279 cases for every 100,000 residents of blue counties (using 2020 results) and 8,113 cases for every 100,000 residents of red ones. There have been 1,183 deaths for every million residents of blue counties and 1,295 deaths for every million people in red counties. Red counties overtook blue ones in cases in mid-October and in deaths two months later…

For some reason, Gov. Newsom does not seem to have the full faith of the local CA media:

    OC going in the right direction as far as hospitalizations. New cases not horrendous but not good. 107 deaths.

    I wrote a long post in the I Got My Shot thread about my experience at Disneyland. White people. Only language heard spoken was English. In Anaheim!! Disfuckinggraceful.

    Newsom facing a recall apparently decided to pander to the right. He’s always been a craven opportunist rather than a real believer, but fucking up vaccines is inexcusable.

    No side effects from the vaccine shot except it may have added to the extreme fatigue I get from the IV I had in the morning -slept 14.5 hours straight. Housemate’s arm is very sore.

    @OzarkHillbilly: Years ago, I made myself an eye mask and put too much dried lavender in it.  I stuck it in a drawer and forgot about it.  About two weeks ago,  my husband was reading late and the light bothered me, so I found it, put it on, and fell asleep quickly.  It sort of knocks me out whenever I wake in the early hours; I just put it on again.  Now that I’ve written this, it likely will quit working.  But it’s pretty strong lavender.

    I made an arithmetical error in the data for Shijiazhuang, here is the correct numbers:

    Shijiazhuang reported 1 new domestic confirmed case (at Gaocheng District), a traced close contact already under centralized quarantine. 93 87 domestic confirmed cases recovered & 12 asymptomatic cases were released from isolation. Currently, there are 486 494 confirmed cases & 44 asymptomatic cases.

    Getting granular data for recoveries at the local level is much more cumbersome than it should be. Provincial health commissions typically only provide total recoveries (including asymptomatic cases released from isolation) for the province, and do not break them down by cities/prefectures. Some municipal/prefectural health commissions publish daily recovery figures, but some do not, so I have to do the arithmetic to derive the figures for the jurisdictions that do not publish such figures. I also have to rely on media reports of patients being released from hospitals at those jurisdictions, to check my assumptions/work. It gets complicated when patients who resided and tested positive at one city was moved to another city for treatment. For example, 18 of the recovered confirmed cases from Suihua in Heilongjiang Province, as well as the asymptomatic case from Daqing released from isolation, were all actually being treated at a hospital at the provincial capital of Harbin. If I had not read the article describing their release to the end and saw that they were being transferred to back to Suihua and Daqing for further medical quarantine, I would have assumes that these were recovered cases from the Harbin cluster… These complications seem to be messing with the COVID-19 dashboard of Jinri Toutiao (Chinese news aggregator APP) as well, at least for Shijiazhuang and Harbin, so I cannot use the numbers off the dashboards without verification.

    For imported cases, some provinces only publish the countries of origin, not the cases’ nationalities or their intermediate layover points (if applicable). I have to go to the municipal health commission’s daily data dumps for those information. Tianjin Municipal Health Commission publishes case data (numbers of domestic confirmed & asymptomatic, and imported confirmed & asymptomatic, for example) for 24 hrs periods from mid-night to mid-night, but the individual case summaries are published for 24 hour periods from 6 PM to 6 PM.

    Good thing the case load in China is still very low, even at the peak of the recent “surge”, or I would have thrown my hands up long ago.

    Local and central authorities in China release just enough information serve their purposes, which are assuaging public concern/anxiety, preventing panic, educating the public on the risk level, maintain their cooperating with government policies (some of which are decidedly inconvenient, even harsh), and demonstrating to the public their labors and competence. With COVID-19, they’ve actually had to be much more transparent than normal to achieve those purposes.

    Yesterday in the UK we had 29,079 new cases. This is about 400 cases higher than the day before but the rolling 7-day average has decreased by 29.5%. Weekend warning applies. The new cases by home nation,

    England – 26,709 (up @500)

    Northern Ireland – 669 (up @70)

    Scotland – 1155 (down @50)

    Wales – 546 (down @150).

    Deaths – There were 1245 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test yesterday. The rolling 7-day average shows a decrease of 3.4%. Deaths by nation, England – 1124, Northern Ireland – 22, Scotland – 70 and Wales – 29.  The number of people who died in the week ending Friday, 15th January who had COVID-19 listed on their Death Certificate was 7766.

    Testing – 753,031 tests were conducted on Thursday, 28 January out of a capacity of 805,634. This is an increase in the rolling 7-day average of 6.2%.

    Hospitalisations – 35,375 people were in hospital on Wednesday, 27 January and 3918 were on ventilators on Thursday, 28 January. The rolling 7-day average for hospital admissions is down by 14.3%.

    Vaccinations – 7,891,184 people had received their 1st dose of a vaccine on 28 January and 478,254 had received their 2nd dose on the same date. Broken down by home nation,

    England – 6,816,945 (1st dose); 446,372 (2nd dose)

    Northern Ireland – 196,131 (1st dose); 24,070 (2nd dose)

    Scotland – 515,855 (1st dose); 7095 (2nd dose)

    Wales – 362,253 (1st dose); 717 (2nd dose).

    General – There was a bit of a kerfuffle earlier when the EU said it would act to stop vaccines being transported from the Republic of Ireland into Northern Ireland. The Irish government were, apparently, not given any warning about this and Dublin, London and Belfast were united in condemning the decision. The EU has subsequently stepped back from the move but the row between the EU and AstraZeneca continues. Contract lawyers have been quoted as saying that there are legitimate competing interpretations of the wording of the contract.

    Also, relating to AstraZenaca, and not, I think picked up in AL’s excellent posts, the UK plant had to be evacuated for a short time a couple of days ago after a suspicious package was delivered to it. The bomb squad was called in and removed the package. It was, apparently, not actually a bomb but was made to look like one. A man has been arrested and charged and he made his first court appearance earlier today. There is no reporting about his motive.

    @Mary G: SuzMom’s arm was very sore yesterday, too. She said more so than she’s ever felt with a vaccine before. I told her that I would be her bartender today, hah.

    Her second dose is scheduled four weeks from now.

    Whatever. My husband’s best friend lost his mom earlier in the week. She was 63. Sore arms are a reasonable price to pay to avoid that.

    This is a website designed by volunteers for vaccine information for Californians (county by county) designed by volunteers.

    https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/The-inside-scoop-on-the-crowdsourced-website-15885607.php

    Through the lens of social media, Patrick McKenzie read the news that California had given counties the green light on Jan. 13 to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to individuals 65 and over — and then he saw the stories unfolding about seniors scrambling to find places to get inoculated.

    McKenzie, who lives in Japan, tweeted the idea of starting a website providing California residents with info on where to get vaccinated, and by the next day, VaccinateCA was born. It has gone on to become a trusted source for critical information in the state’s inoculation effort.

    getmyvaccine.org is a good idea.  The companies should do this themselves, of course.

    Slot data is no longer updating. Walgreens added an extra layer of security to their API so we can’t legally scrape this information. This was a smart security decision for Walgreens. We are attempting to get in touch with them so they’ll add us to their AllowList. We’re disabling slot results on zip code search because the data is no longer up to date. More real-time updates can be found on Twitter.

    @Suzanne:

    I got first shot of Pfizer yesterday at the VA.

    No problem or issues for about 12 hrs, then arm became painful, on a scale 1-10 about 4. This morning, now 24 hrs later it is maybe 1.5. No fever or other symptoms. And for those who are wondering I’ve had reactions to other vaccinations a few times over my life, high fever – 105 degrees for days. I’ve also had zero reactions to vaccinations that others have had reactions to. So far the Pfizer has been about as expected from others.
