We can also see that if Delta is really this bad, we’ll need masks & other precautions for a long time to come.

That’s a real bummer & what’s worse, we could have avoided this by doing a better job controlling infections last year.

Let’s not make the same mistakes twice!

This thread is largely garbage and “proves” things with very dubious but plausible-sounding math, as is the way of these types. I told you Delta would be the cattle prod they’d use to attempt to goad us all back indoors — obvously just about forever.

These people love prison countries, the idea of us hiding inside until the sun goes red giant, and are deeply devoted to the asceticism and us suffering “for our own good.”

Covid eliminationism should not be the goal. That’s absurd and will never work. This is all farce, perpetrated by people who want to harm us. Now’s the time to resist while pushing for better ideas.
