Some people, it’s amazing they made it past kindergarten.

Causes
I’ve read entire books about causation that weren’t as good as this. For some reason, this is a very difficult thing for most people to grasp.
Longer Than
To clarify some statements I’ve made about Long Covid, I believe it’s real, but that it will actually be “long” for about 5-10% of people who have lingering symptoms.
That’s a lot, but not the world-ending apocalypse many are predicting. And Omicron basically won’t produce much Long Covid at all.
Om Yes
NEW: Study on severity of those infected with the #OmicronVariant compared to the #DeltaVariant:
⬇️53% less risk of symptomatic hospitalization
⬇️74% less risk of ICU admission
⬇️91% less risk of death
0⃣Omicron patients required mechanical ventilation

About what I said well over a month ago was likely.
In The Wind
I don’t even like the original (or Bob Dylan), but that is lovely. I like that you can hear her breathing; makes it more human.
Of Monsters And Men – Wolves Without Teeth
Cute video, mainly because though they are twins you can really see the differences in their personalities. One is more open, expressive, risk-taking and the other one is a bit more reserved and introspective.
NGH
I am once again asking everyone to frame data like this in terms of lacking public investment, not poor personal choices https://t.co/8Q0RkhUSh0

If I tried to bike anywhere in Florida, I’d be dead very soon. Or permanently disabled.
Not. Gonna. Happen.
GOF Game
From 2015. Interesting that a lot of “expert” mooks who run labs now say that “gain of function isn’t a real thing” blah blah blah.
But of course it was and is. Liars who should all be fired.
FYOG
You can basically prompt people to do any old stupid shit if you can convince them it’s for their own good.
This works on both liberals and conservatives, unlike a lot of propaganda. That is a very powerful psychological tool I hadn’t thought much about before the pandemic.
