Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

He really is that stupid.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

This blog will pay for itself.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

    The Monroe County NY dashboard wasn’t updated yesterday, and I see they stopped updating the one for Syracuse, NY (Onondaga County) on 6/8. Let’s hope that means something good.

    even though President Biden will fall short of his goal of giving a shot to the same percentage of all U.S. adults by July 4th

    As if the onus is his. The AP is due a trip to the woodshed for such sloppy writing.

    I really do not want my little ones to get Delta COVID!!! Can we get some kid vaccines up in here?!

    @NotMax: They said exactly what they wanted to say.

    @Suzanne: I’m curious about why so little is being said about vaccinations for the under-12 crowd. Maybe there’s reporting out there I just haven’t seen.

    NotMax

    @Suzanne

    Fully cognizant of your concerns, however it’s not as if pre-approval testing and clinical trials are not underway. Last thing anyone wants is a vaccine that stays the virus but may be an inimical agent regarding childhood development.

    Matt McIrvin

    @Spanky: Under-12 vaccinations are in field trials. It seems to me the biggest question is what dosage to use. The cases of (fortunately mild) myocarditis make me think that even teenagers could be using a lower dose of the mRNA vaccines than they’re getting–their immune responses to the vaccine are extremely strong.

    The folks in Texas forgot that they live in a right to work state.

    Bye bye.

    All employers should be requiring proof of vaccination.

    @NotMax

    Will add (and by no means meaning to sound alarmist) that the entire universe of mRNA treatment is in its infancy, essentially untrodden ground, so the learning curve is by necessity steeper and tailored manufacture thus also ought be more deliberate and cautious.

    @rikyrah:

    Thanks! I am still doing well. With the quarantine hotel full, Wi-Fi is very slow starting from around noon, when people start to wake up. It gets steadily worse into the evening, when people start to watch Douyin (Chinese TikTok) or play games on their phones. After midnight is actually worse, since people stay up to watch Euro 2020 matches. :-O

    I have excuse to beg off a lot of conference calls, though!

    So yesterday’s numbers here are daily cases 7-day average 94.14 (was under 20 at the beginning of May), 153 people in the hospital (was as low as 22 in April), 7-day case rate per 100,000 is 225 (was around 60 in the middle of May), positive test rate around 9%, and 37.7% of the population fully vaccinated, 42.5% with at least one shot. One interesting statistic – here the percentage of African-Americans with Covid is 3% of the total, while the percentage of the AA population here is 3.27%, so it’s actually proportional. Since we are so white here, the vast majority of cases are white people. There are currently more people partially vaccinated than fully vaccinated, so that bodes well for our future numbers, but it’s still woefully inadequate. I’m in the center of the Missouri outbreak. I’m so glad I’m vaccinated!

    @Spanky: I’m curious about why so little is being said about vaccinations for the under-12 crowd.

    What I’m seeing on the local (MA) news is that scientists are ‘hopeful’ vaccines for under-12s will be ready ‘before the school year in September’.

    I personally suspect there’s not a lot appearing in the national / international news because those scientists are — not unreasonably — gun-shy about the anti-vaxxers.  *Literally* gun-shy, in some cases, and not just in America.  You saw the story just a few days ago about the Belgian sharpshooter who sent the country’s head virologist into hiding?

    @Spanky: Supposedly Pfizer is going to petition for EUA for the littles in September-October-ish. I have already tried to get my munchies in a clinical trial.

    I know exactly how you must feel – we’re lucky in that our kiddo is thirteen, and I quite literally wept for joy the day he got his second shot.

    I join you in hoping they approve vaccines for the younger kids soon!

    Thanks Annie. Great diary work.
    Frankly, scary. Fauci says Delta variant likely to be dominant in the US in a month’s time. Cautionary, vaxless tales cropping up and involving large death and hospitalization percentages. Some hospitals filling up again.
    No vax hacks facing alarming facts.

    It’s Evolution in Action

    County Administrator Scott Hopes said the government’s downtown Bradenton headquarters has confirmed another case of the novel coronavirus. Last week, county leaders were forced to temporarily shut down the building after five staffers in the Information Technology Department caught the virus and two of them died.

    The sixth case in the building is not an IT employee,

    I hear a lot of stories anecdotally about how the vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated.  I don’t know if anyone publishes actual numbers on that.  I suspect that the distribution is VERY lopsided.

    If I’m right, I think broadcasting those numbers could make a huge difference in vaccine resistance.  If day after day you see that 300 unvaccinated people died and 17 vaccinated people died, internet fables about magnetic particles and tracking chips might seem a lot less important.

    Where are you? After slogging thru, i realized you were in Missouri.
    Branson? Northwest Missouri? Cape Girardeau? City of St Louis?
    God help you if you’re in Springfield, where hospitalizations have shot up six-fold!

    We saw Dr Fauci on TV last night, he seemed to feel that vaccinations for little kids will be approved by this fall… testing is underway via clinical trials with volunteer kids.

    That journal article is really good, about the seroprevalence being approx. 5 times greater than known cases  uncovered through testing. Lots of implications.
