Also you can look at countries in africa too, even lower vaccination rate but theyre doing completely fine with no lockdowns either. Again the only mitigating factor is younger population. It could even be because of access to ivermectin or atleast partly due to that. Either way poorer countries with almost no vaccination no lockdowns doing completely fine no collapse no anything is very very relevant.

I believe India, due to primarily religious reasons, is very big on cremation. Its a lot easier to get rid of a few million dead if you keep the fires burning 24/7 rather then having to put them into the ground.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

That would be very noticable like it was in May of 2021 and only briefly. Hasn't happened since.

I'm not sure if your statement is true (please provide a recent source), but keep in mind that natural immunity requires you to get covid in the first place.

Some good news for a change! A researcher has come up with a coating for maks that is extremely effective at stopping covid transmission.

Awesome! These will be most beneficial for people who already side with the science and medicine, of course, rather than those refusing to even wear masks.


Have you considered some young/vaccinated people know they have a higher chance to get covid without mask, but just, *gasps* don't care about mitigating further a minuscule risk?

The risk was miniscule enough to kill millions across the world.


Millions of young/vaccinated people?

As a Norwegian during winter I actually quite enjoy wearing a mask and sometimes wear one even when walking by myself outside, but if you're young, vaccinated and asymptomatic then I really can't picture that making a significant difference in terms of how likely you are to get seriously ill (even though the chance of getting covid increases, young and vaccinated people are really unlikely to be seriously harmed by that illness) or to infect others with serious illness (even though asymptomatic people can spread covid, a vast majority of asymptomatic people don't actually have it).

yes yes, wearing masks while using public transportation or crowded places during periods where regional infection is high makes sense and is just good and doesn't really come with negative side effects, but cmon, Gotunks specifies 'young/vaccinated people' - the risks for this group is indeed very small. I guess he could have added 'without obvious comorbidities, but imo it's pretty much implied. There aren't millions of dead within this group.

I fail to see how any of that changes it being selfish and stupid as long as the mask can stop some young people from infecting others. Not to mention that the risk is not as miniscule as people like to pretend even for young people. But of course you only want to look at death rates again, right?


It's becoming clear that COVID won't be eradicated. Are you committed to wearing a mask for the rest of your life? Or is there some point when you think it will become reasonable to be a selfish dickbag?

No. It will be reasonable to stop wearing masks when we as a society decide it is no longer essential. Not when some douchebags who think they know better than medical experts decide. For starters we could wait with that until the hospitals are not in danger of being completely overwhelmed anymore.

So, how's the naming process work once they get to Omega? Do they just keep counting with the Greek Alphabet like Alpha-Beta -> Alpha-Gamma or what?

No, I've heard they will move on to constellation names once all the greek alphabet names are used up.

Public vote so we can get Corona McCovidface

@Ye Olde Mod team, thanks for that think it’s the correct call.

I’m ok with people bringing in dumb shit here and being corrected, god knows I do it myself.

Teel seemed determined to bring in nonsense gotchas they found wherever, not actually engage or expand on said points. There’s a consistency to talking errant nonsense that for me is where the line between being misinformed and trying to misinform people lies

We should return to using national identities for the coronavirus variants. China strain (original), UK variant (actually called that), South Africa strain (actually called that), India strain (Delta), and I suppose Omicron can be the Africa strain.
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

We could name it after the person who was first confirmed case of each variant?

I quite like the idea of a ‘Dave strain’ for example, although knowing how silly people are this could backfire with people bugchasing to get the dubious honour.

TL-related aside: I was just listening to the news while eating supper and they had a story on COVID, gatherings, and international travel. Suddenly, in the middle of the story I immediately recognized a voice being interviewed so I looked over at the TV to confirm and sure enough they were talking to TLO about the topic.

Glad you pointed this out. It's probably no surprise that I'm personally for active argument, regardless of how dumb the point is, to draw people closer in understanding each other's perspective and what makes them believe a certain thing over another. It's an entirely different thing to just bring up talking points and not really back up what brings themselves to agree with said points; it's not exactly harmful, but it is annoying.
