Coronavirus

but do you have any faith that she would do that properly if she gets basic facts wrong?

What makes this so bizarre for me is that her dissent in Bruesewitz v. Wyeth (vaccine maker liability) was very good. It's on page 30 of the link I provided. 

So I've started resisting. Went into a Walmart and a Target maskless. No problem at Walmart. Target has a Stazi agent sitting at a table near the entrance.

(reminds me of pictures of I"ve seen of KGB agents in hotels in the Soviet Union in 70s)


Mask Nazi: SIR! SIR! You need a mask!
me: Nassau County is not enforcing the governor's mandate.
Mask Nazi: We are. Target is enforcing the governor's mandate.
(Last week I got a different story, where the Nazi insisted I was wrong and Nassau was enforcing it. I told her she was wrong and kept walking)

me: I don't recognize your governmental authority to enforce anything. Have a nice day.

Mask Nazi was stupefied into silence. She refused to even look at me when I left. But no one said anything further during my visit. I'm still amazed afer all the info coming out how fucking SHEEP can still be blindly following this bullshit. And I can't even with idiots alon in cars masked up...

Notes from a call with Edward Ryan MD, Director of International Infectious Disease at Massachusetts General Hospital
(exactly what I've been saying):

1. Close to 100% of the positive cases in MA are Omicron. Delta is almost completely gone from New England.
2. This surge will peak sometime between 1/10 and 1/21 and then begin a quick downhill journey of two to four weeks.

3. We will end up with a 20-50% positive rate.

4. February will be clean up mode, March will begin to return to "normal".
5. Omicron lives in your nose and upper respiratory area which is what makes it so contagious. It isn't able to bond with your lungs like the other variants.


6. The increased hospitalizations should be taken with a grain of salt as most of them are secondary admissions (i.e. people coming in for surgery, broken bones, etc. who are tested for COVID)
7. We won't need a booster for omicron because they wouldn't be able to develop one before it's completely gone and we're all going to get it which will give us the immunity we need to get through it.
8. COVID will join the 4 other corona viruses we deal with that cause the common cold, upper respiratory infections, RSV, etc. It will become a pediatric disease mainly affecting young children with no immunity.
9. 40% of those infected will be asymptomatic.

10. Rapid tests are 50-80% sensitive to those with symptoms, only 30-60% sensitive to those without symptoms

11. Contact tracing is worthless because we're all going to get it and there's no way we could keep up with it.
12. We are fighting the last war with COVID and should be pivoting back to normal life, but society isn't quite ready for it yet.
13. There is no need to stay home from work or to be a hermit unless you're immunocompromised or 85 or older, but he does recommend staying away from large gatherings for the next six weeks.


We will see the end of the pandemic in the next few weeks.

Exactly as I've been saying ❤️🙏
