Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson: the bland and smiling face of evil.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

T R E 4 5 O N

I really should read my own blog.

Let’s finish the job.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Most of the 19 million kids under the age of 5 can now get a #COVID19 vaccine.

• About ½ are children of color
• Nearly 1 in 4 are below the poverty line
• About 4 in 10 are covered by Medicaid

France is facing a new wave of COVID-19 infections fuelled by new variants of the disease, French vaccination chief Alain Fischer said on Wednesday, as daily new cases reached an almost two-month peak the day before at more than 95,000.

Speaking on France 2 television, he said there was no doubt there was once again an upsurge of the pandemic in the country, adding he was personally in favour of reinstating mandatory face mask wearing on public transport…

Other European countries, especially Portugal, are also seeing an increase, due two new Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, which, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, are likely to become dominant in the region.

The variants do not appear to carry a higher risk of severe disease than other forms of Omicron but as they are somewhat more infectious than the latter, it could lead to an increase in hospitalisations and deaths, the ECDC said…

New infections have been steadily rising since the end of May in France, with the seven-day moving average of daily new cases almost tripling between the May 27 figure of 17,705 and Tuesday’s 50,402…

France’s COVID death toll rose by 56 over 24 hours on Tuesday, to reach 149,162.

New from @CDCgov is survey of #Paxlovid use across USA, showing resurging #COVID19 after apparent treatment success, and concludes: "Paxlovid might prevent COVID-19–related hospitalization among persons with mild-to-moderate COVID-19."https://t.co/txFwFWmVcr

    Is the pilot shortage due to Covid? I thought it was a long term problem.

    Some *relatively* good news on the COVID front today. Cases have continued to trend slightly down to 99,000, and deaths are back down below 300, at 293. Hospitalizations have been steady in the last 3 days at 31,500, and are up only 3% in the last week.

    Also, this takes place despite the CDC reporting yesterday that BA.4/5 now make up 36% of all cases, with BA.2.12.1 decreasing to 57%. BA.2 makes up the remaining 9%. It appears BA.4/5 is not creating a new wave, just extending the peak of the existing wave. Regionally, cases have continued to decline where BA.2.12.1 was and remains most dominant, and remain at a high plateau where BA.4/5 have become the most prevalent.

    Through last week, Biobot show no major increases anywhere, with just a slight increase in the Midwest and flat to declining levels in the other regions.

    My 4 year old granddaughter got her first vaccination (Moderna) yesterday. While we were there, one of the kids from her preschool showed up to get shots for both their under 5 kids. On the negative side, there weren’t a lot of kids there getting vaccinated. It was the first day and a Tuesday morning, so I hopeful the pace will pick up.

    I think part of the problem with airlines and flights is personnel shortages that don’t have anything to do with Covid. I’m sure people being sick is part of the problem, but not all of it. The cancellations were happening when people were still masking on planes, perhaps Dr. Winter just didn’t notice that. Again, we don’t do ourselves any favors when we blame things exclusively on Covid when there are also other factors involved. That said, I agree that it was dumb that none of the stories mentioned Covid as part of the problem.

    @Percysowner: That’s awesome that your granddaughter has already gotten a shot. Moderna isn’t available in my county yet. Our pediatrician has sent out emails saying that they expect to get a supply of vaccines next week, and other county-run locations just have Pfizer so far.

    There is great rejoicing in Michigan, where my sister and her daughter’s families live, because the soon-to-be two year old grandson was vaccinated Monday. Moderna, local pharmacy and they were first in line. Maybe they will now let us visit and play with him (do I sound bitter, I am a little, sigh, family stuff never ends).

    @raven: I had my annual physical yesterday and the doctor had no information on whether or when for booster number 3, she just assumes there will be. I use a health system that is affiliated with the medical school, so they are up with the latest.

    So we are in northern CA right now finishing up a family reunion/short vacation trip. We get back home on Friday. Before we left, we scheduled doctor appointments for both Spawns in the hope that the vaccine would be approved while we were traveling, which YAYAYAYAYAYAY turned out to be the case. So Youngest should be getting her vaccine early next week, if all goes well. We are doing the best we can with her and masking, staying outdoors, etc…. but she is not even three and there is only so much one can expect from the shorties.

    Greece: the news in general is not great. On Tuesday, the authorities reported 12,537 new cases and 14 deaths; on Wednesday (today), there were 10,528 new cases and 9 deaths. Wednesday’s report also counted 94 COVID patients on ventilators. A couple of weeks ago, the new-case numbers were half that.

    And it may be getting worse before it gets better; wastewater analysis is showing increases in a lot of places week-to-week, with Attica’s wastewater viral load up 17%, while in Herakleion in Crete, there was a viral load jump of 342%.

    It won’t surprise anyone on this thread, but we really do live in different realities with regard to Covid in this country. I live in New York, and perhaps because we were hit so hard so early, masking is still the norm here. I don’t wear a mask if I’m outside and the street is reasonably empty but always mask indoors, even in the hallways of my apartment building. My first trip away from the area was to the Bay Area in March, and while there didn’t seem to be as many people wearing masks there as there are in New York, people mostly wore masks and I felt pretty comfortable.

    Then this past weekend, I went to Minneapolis. It’s a big city, a liberal city, and almost no one was masking indoors. I also visited some small towns to the south, and that was even worse. I was the only one wearing a mask anywhere. (At least no one gave me a hard time about it.)

    I had to change planes at O’Hare on the way out there, and it was a zoo, just packed with people, and maybe 10% of them were masked. (And not many more on any of my flights.)

    It wasn’t like Covid was over; it was almost like Covid had never happened. Fortunately I did a test this morning and my own mask seems to have worked.

    @arrieve: In contrast, in Wuhan, which has not suffered a major outbreak or large area lock downs since the 1st wave, & no local cases for months, most people walking outdoors are still wearing masks & most of them wearing masks correctly. Masking is not required outdoors in Wuhan by policy.

    Wife and I wear masks when around others. Home health care workers wear masks in our home, so we haven’t felt the need to mask up for those visits, which are about over now. Wife is able to navigate well now, and has the energy to begin some household chores. She appear to have fully recovered from her surgery last month and is still improving after the correction of her spinal stennosis. So yay!!

    I’m aware that the airline transportation system right now is in disarray — believe me, I was stuck for several hours at an airport last week because the crew that was supposed to staff my flight was delayed elsewhere due to whatever. But — serious question — is there any evidence that flight crews are all coming down with Covid since the mask requirement has been lifted? The larger problem seems to be a basic one of supply and demand: airports and airlines unloaded personnel, from flight crews to baggage handlers, like crazy in 2020-21 in order to cut costs, and now are having trouble scaling back up to meet demand. People are saying it’s Covid, but I haven’t seen any indication of that. If every flight is now a superspreader event, wouldn’t we be seeing a relatively even distribution of Covid illness across the country right now? Instead, we’re seeing a fairly steady progression of the latest omicron wave from the Northeast and upper Midwest in April-May, to the Southeast and West now in June.

    NL numbers still jumping ~60% week on week since bottoming out at about 7000 a month ago. 26000 for the past week, and the summer’s just getting started. Chaos at Schiphol (strike at Brussels) because if all the workers dumped in the pandemic; maybe Covid plays a role too.

    @J R in WV: Yay for you. Husband had miraculous surgery for spinal stenosis about seven years ago. Went from agony and leg collapsing to pain free. It was amazing.

    His is acting up again a lot. Stenosis plus weirdly shifted spinal disc plus a bone spur on his spine. So more surgery next month. Trust our doctor since before, but whole process is scary.

    Husband had back pain for years and surgeons just blew him off until one explained. They don’t operate for arthritis in the spine because operation doesn’t help and can make things worse. They do operate when stenosis starts damaging nerves. Also when discs start moving where they shouldn’t be.
