Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Giving up is unforgivable.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

In after Baud. Damn.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

The willow is too close to the house.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

This really is a full service blog.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

#Covid case numbers aren’t as reliable these days. But there are 3 metrics that could reveal what’s next. The 1st is hospital data, indicator of severe illness in a given area. The 2nd is the circulating strain & 3rd is the growing number #LongCovid cases https://t.co/RR1a9286kR

Poland has no "coherent rationale" to invoke force majeure in an existing contract in order to stop paying for more COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer , a European Commission official told Reuters. https://t.co/gMugqsk6Zc

U.S. health officials are seeking ‘urgent’ data on Covid relapses after patients took Pfizer's drug, Paxlovid. Instead of some patients getting better, Covid bounced back. Exactly how common viral rebound is after a full Paxlovid course remains unclear https://t.co/gWEt3xeLsc

Reports are rising of boomerang #COVID19 (or reinfection, unclear) among people treated with #Paxlovid . In this thread @michaelmina_lab explains why this is worthy of significant worry. https://t.co/Prd0x3itSQ

    Nationwide, cases increased to 61,200, a 20%+ increase from one week ago. Hospital admissions increased to 15,307, a 50%+ increase from their recent bottom, but still historically low for the pandemic. Deaths increased slightly to 337.

    All four US Census regions show increases.  The only States not increasing are AK and CO. CT shows only a slight increase. The re-acceleration of cases in NY and NJ in the past week continues, as cases have increased 15% in NY and over 20% in NJ. Of note, in NY the increase is being driven by the NYC area; the original epicenter of BA.2.12.1 in Central NYS continues to decline. I wonder if the re-acceleration is being driven by BA.4 or BA.5 showing up in NYC?

    The CDC has not updated its variants nowcast yet. I’ll update once it is reported today.

    Heading for booster #2 today, in prep for an event this weekend (yeah, I know I won’t be fully protected, but I’ll be N95-masked nearly at all times, regardless of what others do), as well as upcoming running series events, the 500, etc. The first running series event was this past weekend, and oh my was there a lack of masks. I took one of my N95s and cut it so it’s ear loops instead of around-the-head, and I have it on a band around my neck so I can put it on and off quickly. I didn’t wear it while running, but indoors? Yes. I got my beer, found my two friends and an unpopulated corner, and we stood there, pulling our masks down only long enough to take a sip.

    If only 29 out of 50 states are reporting aren’t these numbers significant underestimates?

    We are committed to going to New Jersey and New York in two weeks for the last of the bar mitzvahs in either of our extended families.

    Not happy to see the spike there or to read that the correct Paxlovid dose has not yet been identified. Oh well. We will mask when we can.

    @New Deal democrat: Our area is still low, and no updating of vaccine info since March 31st. The best metric is only two deaths in March and two in April, which is the lowest since they began counting.

    Disturbing to read about the rebound post paxlovid.  I may be able to provide more anecdotal evidence to add to the suspicion. Both my SO and I were exposed at the same time, and both received early treatment with paxlovid. We both completed the treatment, and tested clear (antigen) a few days after completing the course. Two weeks later and fever, cough, etc return.  I got a faint positive on an antigen test, and a solid positive on PCR.

    no treatment beyond strong cough medicine.  Fever did break, and antigen test is again clear.

    SO’s relapse was a week later (now). Her Dr decided it was just a cold.

    common wisdom among the medical staff we interacted with is that PCR will show positive for 90 or more days after antigen shows clear.

    OK this is more distressing.

    The CDC variant nowcast through April 30 is out, and they’ve knocked back last week’s number on BA.2.12.1 to about 25%, and this week is only36.5%, about a 7% increase from what was first reported one week ago.

    NJ and NY are also only up about 10% w/w, to 62%.

    BA.2.12.1 is apparently causing havoc, and is only taking over slowly (and I still wonder if BA.4 and BA.5 have been introduced under the radar so far).
