Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

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

After roe, women are no longer free.

People are complicated. Love is not.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

A consequence of cucumbers

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Not all heroes wear capes.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

    First dose AstraZeneca for me this week, Il Nonno is fragile, gets BionTech tomorrow. 11 week wait for my second dose (gah), 3 weeks for Il Nonno dose 2. At least he will be fully vaccinated soon, it’s been quite a scary 15 months in Puglia…oh, and the EU vaccine buying mistakes have really hurt us. High hopes that our fully vaccinated US family can visit this summer.

    You have been doing this for more than a year. Do you think you can give more focus to what’s going on in India with tomorrow’s? Indian Twitter seems super pissed. Can Schroedinger’s Cat help?

    India is having a straight vertical line of COVID cases. Two days ago, they passed the highest number of cases per day that we have ever had. Yesterday, Jen Psaki said something really vague about how we are going to help India. It was not particularly specific at all. India has likely overrun their hospital capacity. People have been posting photos of the funeral pyres.

    One thing that the part of India Twitter that I have seen has pointed out is that we are not exporting the ingredients to make the vaccine. Since we have production up and running, should we be sending them a ton of vaccine, or should we be sending them ingredients to expand their own production? What, if anything, are we doing?

    @Starfish: My understanding is that India needs medical equipment and supplies. India is one of if not acually the largest manufacturing site for drugs in the world and had been exporting vaccines to other developing nations, which it has now curtailed.  There may be things we could help with, but I’m not sure we can help with what seems to be the acute need for more hospital beds and faster vaccine roll out. Probably we can make a bigger difference in Latin America, which has actually been harder hit proportionately than India, at least so far.

    And they want to open travel to Europe, are these people really that damn pig ignorant?

    Incidentally in the deep blue California County I live in; 54% of white have been vaccinated, pretty much the same for East Asians, 60% of the Pacific Islanders but only 34% of the Hispanics. But I am sure that won’t distract from the narrative that white men are the REAL problem, eh? I mean just because the leader of the two biggest Hispanic countries in the world are out idiot twatting Trump and calling men who take precautions against the virus girly men, this number is totally a mystery that can’t be explained.

    Why everyone needs to be vaccinated in one story:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/21/health/vaccine-nursing-homes-infections.html

    An unvaccinated healthcare worker set off a COVID-19 outbreak at a nursing home in Kentucky where the vast majority of residents had been vaccinated, leading to dozens of infections, including 22 cases among residents and employees who were already fully vaccinated, a new study reported Wednesday [21 Apr 2021].

    Most of those who were infected with the coronavirus despite being vaccinated did not develop symptoms or require hospitalization, but one vaccinated individual, who was a resident of the nursing home, died, according to the study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Altogether, 26 facility residents were infected, including 18 who had been vaccinated, and 20 healthcare personnel were infected, including 4 who had been vaccinated. Two unvaccinated residents also died.

    Ron Johnson is an asshole of epic proportions and is spewing Russian propaganda daily.

    @Barbara: If it’s available as airlift cargo, India right now needs a lot of medical oxygen equipment, oxygen production gear etc. That will get a lot of sick people over the hump and help them survive a serious case of COVID-19 they would otherwise die from.

     

    The US is, as usual, performing miracles of logistics and organisation in a pressure situation to vaccinate its own population and it has still taken over three months to get 200 million doses injected locally. There’s no way the world community can get a significant number of the Indian population vaccinated in a few weeks. The number of vaccination doses available worldwide just do not exist even if they were all funneled to India, which isn’t going to happen anyway.

    The new piece of antivax bullshit I’ve been seeing going around is the claim that the COVID vaccine is “not a vaccine” according to some official definition or other. I think it’s a reference to mRNA vaccines working differently from previous varieties, but I may be wasting time attempting this level of stupidology.

    Just to contribute my own experience to the body of vaccine anecdotal evidence, I've had both shots now and didn't get sick from either of them. A sore arm both times and that's it. And I have a body that LOVES to dramatically overreact to everything from sunlight to perfume. ??‍♀️— Molly Hodgdon (@Manglewood) April 22, 2021

    Oh, my parents had the same experience BTW. We all had Pfizer. Sore arm, nothing else. Saying this because I worry about a Yelp effect where people are much more likely to post about bad experiences than nice or neutral ones so it skews everyone's perception negatively.— Molly Hodgdon (@Manglewood) April 23, 2021

    My younger sister had an emergency surgery for a big cancer that she did not know she had a couple of weeks ago. She was suddenly thrown into menopause. The number of patients assigned to the person who bathes them seemed like too many. Because of COVID, the facility was only open for visiting hours for four hours a day.

    That last tweet by Steve Bognar: “NO age restrictions.”  Except you have to be over 16.  A lot of people seem to be ignoring this; combined with the push to get kids back in school, it’s almost like “eh, kids, I’m not one so who cares, anyway they’re replaceable…”

    @germy: For me, the first Moderna COVID shot was not as bad as the first Shingrix shot. It was comparable to a flu vaccination: sore spot on the arm, maybe a little general achiness that responded to a couple Tylenol. I can’t speak for the second shot yet.

    @Ken: I’m hoping an authorization for, say, 13-16 happens very soon so my kid can get vaccinated–that seems an easier lift than approving it for younger kids. I suspect really good coverage of the population is not going to happen until we can require this thing in schools.

  64. 64.

    Robert Sneddon

    @Barbara: It’s not oxygen that India needs in a hurry, it’s oxygen production equipment and distribution (cylinders, tankers, regulators etc.) and they need it soon, in the next 48 hours or so. Oxygen they can get from the atmosphere once they’ve got the pumps, concentrators, cryo-liquifiers etc. . Sadly they’re not going to get much extra gear and nowhere near enough of it.

     

    Press reports suggest the Indian regional governments are planning to use industrial oxygen supplies for medical purposes; this is very much second-best but it might get them over the hump. There will be screw-ups, there has been at least one explosion which killed a bunch of people at a hospital in India probably due to jury-rigging an oxygen supply system to try and cope with the increased demand.

  65. 65.

    Robert Sneddon

    @Matt McIrvin: Teenagers and young children are very much different biologically speaking from adults and the various vaccine test protocols started with adults-only trials for good reason. How younger people react to the adult-qualified vaccines may be different so I’m not really in favour of rushing the process. There are trials going on for several of the existing vaccines in teenagers, I’m not sure they’re even planning to trial these vaccines in children less than ten years old.

    Friday in the UK we had 2678 new cases. This is a reduction of 4.1% in the rolling 7-day average. New cases by nation,

    England – 2277 (down 38)

    Northern Ireland – 88 (down 38)

    Scotland – 255 (up 24)

    Wales – 58 (down 5).

    Deaths – Yesterday there were 40 deaths within 28 days of a positive test. This is an decrease of 12.4% in the rolling 7-day average. Deaths by nation, England – 38, 1 each in Northern Ireland and Scotland and none in Wales. COVID is no longer ther leading cause of death in the UK.

    Testing – 1,111,876 tests were conducted on Thursday, 22 April. This is an increase of 16.8% in the rolling 7-day average. The PCR testing capacity estimated by labs on this date was 670,690.

    Hospitalisations – On Wednesday 21 April there were 1879 people in hospital. There were 261 people on ventilators on Thursday, 22nd. The rolling 7-day average for hospital admissions was down by 20.2% as of 19 April.

    Vaccinations – As of 22 April, a total of 33,388,637 people had received the 1st dose of a vaccine and 11,623,671 had had both shots. In percentage terms this means that 63.4% of all adults in the UK have had 1 shot and 22.1% were fully vaccinated.

    Matt McIrvin

    @Starfish: The risk/benefit comparison is different, too, since while serious COVID illness and even death is not unheard of in children, it is very rare. So the vaccine has to be extremely safe for any risk from it to be outweighed by that. Then one brings in the tricky ethical question of whether the much, much larger risk of transmitting the virus to others should bear on this. I lean toward thinking it should, but people get very defensive about their children, obviously.

    @Enhanced Voting Techniques: African-Americans are a little *less* recalcitrant than the population as a whole but a far behind on vaccination because of access.

    I mentioned this on another thread:

    I have a large extended family.

    1. My mother’s uncle died of COVID-19 in Bangalore not even two weeks ago.
    2.  My cousin’s uncle is ill in the hospital with COVID-19 and they ran out of oxygen. So my cousin was on social media putting out a hail mary request for assistance to transfer him to another hospital with oxygen.

    I see stories like this and l wonder how we’ll even deal with this, psychologically. Pretending everything is fine and going back to normal. Watching people pretend it’s all an overreaction, stepping over all the dead and disabled people:

     

    This chart is startling:
