California has had draconian measures since the beginning. Still having another wave(in blue cities) and further lockdowns.

I did my part to contribute to negative tests.
PCR test sensitivity has been bullshit since day one, but nobody is talking about it. -
these are the people who believe racism is a public health emergencyTurdBomber said:Science? Like The Who declaring Racism an equal threat to public health as the pandemic in order to retroactively immunize BLM and supporters for gathering in public without masks, packed together like sardines, and screaming in each others' faces for hours?
That ain't science. That's propaganda.
Fuck your little yard signs that say "we believe in science." How can you believe in science when you don't know what science is to begin with? -

Because the American left cares. Obviously "free" college should be part of the chicom crud relief package. SCIENCE.

LEFTIST RECEIVING PAYCHECK MOCKS THOSE WHO AREN’T: Pete Davidson rips Staten Island’s anti-COVID-19 lockdown ‘babies’ on ‘SNL.’
UPDATE (FROM GLENN):
Related: Protests show two Americas — those who lost their jobs and those still getting paid.
Also, from a lefty source:
There’s a huge Covid class divide. The economy has not just bounded back for upper income Americans; it’s given them higher housing values and lower interest rates. Meanwhile, 12 million service industry workers are still out of work. Small businesses are struggling. The affluent see Covid as a health problem, while for the working class it’s about economic survival. And liberals are doing the same thing they did with Trump: Clothing their class privilege as science and facts and morality.
The politicians are even worse. Instead of coming up with a clean Covid bill, Democrats are now trying to pressure Biden into student loan forgiveness. Can you believe it? What kind of society thinks it’s ok to ask 12 million people who lost their jobs to Covid to foot the bill for the student loans of the top 40% of earners? Sure, maybe it will accidentally help someone in a food line who dropped out of college. But college-educated Americans are back at work. The Covid recession is over for them. Why are the Democrats designing legislation to help the people who need it least, in the belief that some of the benefits might trickle down to help those who need it most?
Oh, I think I know why. And this whole interview is pretty sensible. -

Fuck that guy.

Sheriffs are beholding only to the voters. They do have crazy city council members issuing orders telling them to do stupid shit. When civil service protection was pulled from Chiefs of police and they became contract employees basically serving at will resistance to this kind of overreach stopped. It's done quietly by many but they have to be careful or they are out of a job. Many just do as they are told!LoneStarDawg said:Sheriff of Riverside county joins in by saying, go fuck yourself Gavin

Covid musings from a Doc in Wyoming:
1. Obviously, the loss of 260,000 plus people is horrible but given the average age is 78 with two plus serious medical conditions, it is important to look at how many would have died from their underlying conditions or other illnesses like influenzas during the same time period. The media does not state “260,000 EXCESS DEATHS for the year,” just deaths that have Covid somewhere on the death certificate. Covid could the on the first line (immediate cause of death) or one of the other five lines in order of importance (contributor). To understand this fact, one must examine on the CDC and other various sites the long-term death rates this year compared to previous years.
2. Our reaction to the virus will cause far more damage to lives than the virus itself. Social isolation, economic devastation, and paralyzing anxiety will cause decades of problems which range from suicide to domestic violence to higher levels of alcohol related disease and destruction. We are raising an entire generation of neurotic children.
3. Historically, physicians have rarely listed influenza as a cause of death. They have listed the cause of death due to the complications from influenza such as pneumonia. I have never seen influenza listed on a DC. This fact makes comparison to Covid difficult, so total deaths must be examined on an annual basis.
4. I do support the vaccine mainly because it will make people feel more secure and it will help us get back to normal. However, immunity from having had the disease is better protection than the vaccine.
5. If there is a wake-up call here, it is to get yourself into a healthy lifestyle. That means getting your weight down, exercising EVERY day, adopting a majority plant-based diet, swearing off fast food/processed food, stopping tobacco/vaping in any form, and adopting a cat or dog. This is another area our education system has failed—not teaching a healthy lifestyle.
6. Masks and social distancing may delay infection but people who will get Covid will eventually. The vaccines will help prevent infection but really are most significant for the obese, the elderly, and the infirmed. For everyone else, it is almost irrelevant. Remember that a “case” or “infection” is JUST a positive test. It has no relevance to severity.
7. Stop dumb public health rules. They make public health folks look irrational. For example, closing restaurants at 10 PM is silly. How does that make sense given restaurants are the busiest at 7 PM? I am not favoring closing restaurants. High risk people should just not go to them.
8. Please stop the fear of surfaces. Even the CDC has stated they are not a problem. Yes, washing your hands but that is good for preventing Covid, flu and other diseases but most of that is from shaking hands or handling money. It is nice to see men washing their hands in public bathrooms. Covid has certainly changed that behavior!
9. Health care worker need to reduce the drama. We work with tuberculosis, HIV, strep and staph, and multiple other disease that are far worse than Covid. Yes, right now the work is hard with long hours but that is what we signed up for and which we are paid well.
10. Listen to the news media with a critical ear. The news media has a mantra “if it bleeds, it leads.” This is their way to entice an audience which increases their advertising dollars. Our school systems have failed horribly by emphasizing memory instead of critical thinking. Every time you listen to the news, you should be asking “does that make sense?”

Can't wait. So almost like getting the flu for most people. Only 16% asymptomatic for adverse reaction after second shot. Cool.
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/fda-confirms-pfizer-vaccine-95-effective-warns-severe-adverse-reactions-after-dose-2
However, one thing of note in the 'risk' section includes:
The vaccine has been shown to elicit increased local and systemic adverse reactions as compared to those in the placebo arm, usually lasting a few days...
The most common solicited adverse reactions were injection site reactions (84.1%), fatigue (62.9%), headache (55.1%), muscle pain (38.3%), chills (31.9%), joint pain (23.6%), fever (14.2%)
Severe adverse reactions occurred in 0.0-4.6% of participants, were more frequent after Dose 2 than after Dose 1 and were generally less frequent in older adults (>55 years of age) (<2.8%) as compared to younger participants (≤4.6%). Among reported unsolicited adverse events, lymphadenopathy occurred much more frequently in the vaccine group than the placebo group and is plausibly related to vaccination. -
