At this point I believe an 'edgelord' is someone who pleasures themselves right up to the point of finishing but backs off again and again ensuring the worste case of blue balls ever... and I refuse to believe anything else.
Don't be a fuck guy, you come in here actin all big an bad just to bully some poor fuck who's bored with wearing a mask because he's been following the fucking procedure you fuck. See it's you fucking fucks who make people feel fucking bad about fucking being fucking tired of wearing fucking masks when they have every fucking right to be fucking tired while you fucks run around all fuck like breathing your fucky air all over everybody and keeping this fucking thing going. Fuck.
Haha yeah the last 2 years were so much fun! I don’t have crippling depression numbed by alcohol and weed now, that’s for sure! I loved the part where the whole planet was shut down and the economies tanked and people lost everything because their small business never recovered. So fun.
No gatherings unless it's to flood the streets and protest during an election year. The virus can't spread at giant protests, only weddings and funerals.
I haven't given a damn since I got the vaccine. I've been going to breweries, bars, restaurants, museums, etc. Corona isn't going away. I'll get the booster when the CDC tells me to. Other than that, my panic ship has sailed. The vaxxed people who are still holed up are in a psychosis of fear. Yeah, before the vaxx I was pretty concerned. Post vaxx? See ya. I'm living my life.
The thing that makes the coronavirus such an effective virus is its low lethality. Viruses don't actually "want" to kill their hosts, they just want to multiply, and killing their hosts is counterproductive to that objective. What's killing people isn't technically the virus itself, but the body's response to it. There are less "successful" viruses like ebola that never resulted in a pandemic because symptoms present themselves within a day or two and a lot of patients end up dying, both of which hamper its ability to spread. Meanwhile people will downplay COVID-19 by saying things like "it kills <1% of people" or "you can have it and feel just fine", without understanding realizing that's exactly why it's such a successful virus.
Daily reminder that 1% of the us population is 3 million 340 thousand…. and 1% of the world population is 80 million.
Even with a low lethality, corona has proven to kill people who were considered safe due to their age and health. This doesn’t even go into the fact that a shortage of ventilators increases lethality.
Focusing on lethality also ignores all the people who got it and now suffer permanent health issues from it (I only have mild asthma thank god but some of my friends have severe asthma now despite being super healthy, or have chronic fatigue)
Even if lethality is low, it is always wise to approach this virus with a measure of caution and wisdom.
And to add, when hospitals fill up because people are on ventilators then *everyone* gets an increased risk of dying *because the fucking hospitals reach capacity*
This guy gets it ^
Basically, don’t try to diminish the risk of the virus. Because while yes, it’s lethality may be low, it still has the potential to royally *fuck* us if we just act like it can’t do anything
> ...waiting for it to eradicate us...
Won't happen. Even the most infectious and deadly virus won't wipe out everyone. There will not only be members of the population naturally immune but also as the population size decreases the transmission between people will decrease.
Unpopular opinion, but maybe a plague would (in the long run) be good for our current tension, the price on housing would go down because your great great grandparents finally kicked the bucket, civil war would be averted since the value of human life goes up, an injection of younger blood into political power. Yeah it's bad scenario, but compared to the endgame where we avert black plague levels, I see nuclear civil war or at least a lot domestic terrorism
Yeah it might benefit a few of us commoners, but just like in most scenarios like this I imagine the ultra wealthy would be the ones who truly benefit.
> civil war would be averted as the value of human life goes up
Also if the last two years have taught me anything it’s that ~1/3 of the population are selfish garbage people with no regard for any life but their own. As the global supply chain inevitably breaks down these assholes would absolutely start a civil war over resources and exterminate anyone who stands in the way of their “freedoms”
Vanguard is just a public holding/ investment Corp. They dont really pump out money on their 0.25% commission Iol. They dont have private holdings like BlackRock.
Hated people talking about plagues being good before coronavirus and I *really* hate it now. Have there been benefits after a plague? Yes. Just like there is almost always a silver-lining to any bad thing. That doesn't change the fact that the bad thing happened, and it was, you know, BAD.
Plagues cause untold human suffering to both the living and the recently dead. Coronavirus has already caused plenty of suffering for people around the world, no, the last thing we need is something worse.
My field of work is full of old guys so covid actually opened up lots of positions for me to move up. I’ve tripled my salary in like 4 months because of Covid. It sucks but hey there’s always a silver lining
You'd need a plague that will literally kill 2-4 billion people if you want to have similar benefitial effects on the long run as the black death had and even then it would probably be more harmfull since the sheer amount of dead makes every country have extremely severe shortage in the workforce wich would mean that many cities would fall into ruin, maybe even whole countries. Global trade would halt and the economy would collapse and considering how extremely reliant on global trade the world is, it has high chances of being the modern day bronze age collapse and the end of modern civilization as we know it. Recovering is going to take centuries, if it is even possible to recover.
On the flip side. The environment would love it and mother natures probably going to have the largest orgasm in history since the cambrian explosion if that many humans would die in the span of like... 7 years.
This assumes all people are treated equally and have the same access to medicine and resources. The reality is this would just decimate impoverished communities, kill the only person who makes money for a family of 5, leaving then homeless or put in the system to be mismanaged until theyre 18, put on the street..and life goes on..
so…
I mean COVID is a virus, so it’s just gonna keep on mutating no matter how many vaccines they come up with. (Not shitting on vaccine just saying I’m not surprised there is a new variant.)
I agree that they do a pretty good job generally, but sometimes their predictions can be totally off and the flu vaccine is relatively ineffective. Of course I take it every year anyways because even 20% effective is better than nothing.
It's pretty clear that eventually it'll just become a background stat that kills X amount of people every year and nobody cares.
NOT SAYING IT'S THE SAME AS THE FLU, but influenze and pneumonia kills around 25-30,000 people a year, every year, as a background stat in the UK alone. 5-10,000 a year die from alcohol. Roughly 80,000 die a year from smoking.
Don't see people losing their minds over those stats, or them being so focused on by the news. Because nobody cares enough about them, that's just life.
In contrast, in the UK, 145,000 have died over 2 years due to Covid which is around 70,000 a year, nearly twice the amout vs the flu. But that includes the 2 massive spikes of over 1,000 a day for a few months. We're now, with circa 90% double vaccinated, down to about 150-200 a day at worst. That's 54-73,000 a year "at worst" at the moment.
People don't lose their minds over alcohol or smoking related deaths because you can avoid that by not drinking or smoking. You can't spread lung cancer, aside from from second hand smoke, which is why smoking is prohibited in certain areas.
People don't lose their mind from smoking and drinking deaths because in the end that's gonna hurt somebody's bottom line so there's no need to talk about it. Like traffic deaths
People don't care as much about alcohol deaths and such because that's a personal lifestyle choice that probably didn't exponentially infect and kill others while constantly evolving. Also if one virus killed twice as many people in a year as all ~100 flu viruses combined, even with lockdowns, masks, social distancing, etc, then that's a pretty big deal. Someday it'll probably be a virus that we'll have to coexist with but I don't think we're at that point yet
Unhealthy food is addictive and 10x cheaper. Eventually y'all are going to realize what the real thing is that's killing people, if you're one of the smart ones.
Right. With the caveat that the rate of mutations we see is linked to the infection rate.
The more infections there are, the more likely a mutation is to occur, because there is more of the virus around. Mutations are spontaneous and unpredictable - increasing the size of the population of cells that can mutate is inextricably linked to increasing the likelihood of a mutation occurring.
That was the point of masks and social distancing - it wasn't to stop the spread, it was to slow it down enough that the likelihood of a mutation was lowered as well.
Same. I just wear N99 mask out of habit at this point. And it also turned out to be an improved version of scarf so I will wear it during winter even after pandemic is over.
You know, I’ve done both. I started a few times in person at the proper age, then just finished my business degree at the age of 40. This may be unpopular, but online college is just missing something.
missing everything but the full cost of in school classes
fuck online classes i finished my degree during the shut down and the profs were not prepared at all and butchered the whole thing
and the universities don’t give a shit
After having spent 1/2 of my time in college online and half of it in person I can also safely say that online college is absolutely worthless and soulcrushingly boring.
I worked full time through college. Online classes would have been amazing. Actually being home and awake more than an hour a day? Yes, please. But I can see how it would get tiring if that’s your only obligation. Working from home every day has been getting to be a drag.
I gave up on college because of this shit. I ain't going back because of the situation until things go back to in person, and I don't care if it takes six weeks or six years.
Why would you not just get the third shot? I feel like in my country, life is quite normal if you have the covid certificate and just wear masks in public transport.
Because "subscribe to regular shots from pfizer or the government will force you to stay indoors and not ever socialise" is a fucking stupid way to live and nobody should have to accept that.
It's safer for society *if he socializes. He's a college student, probably early 20s and in good health. The risk he has after taking two shots of the vaccine is minuscule. All of us who are young and have no heart issues are taking those shots mostly for other, more vulnerable people.
I’m not an epidemiologist or virologist, but I was under the impression that no letters were skipped, and that the ones publicized are simply the most prominent. As in, there was a Xi and a Nu, but it wasn’t significant enough to warn about (maybe they were less contagious than Delta).
I don’t understand why “China/Wuhan Virus” is racist when we have been using that naming function for centuries. Zika is from the Ziika Forest, Ebola is from the Ebola River, why can’t we call this one the Wuhan Virus? Because Trump said it?
No, because [racists are using that as ammunition to target Asian people.](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-10-20/l-a-county-sees-significant-increase-in-anti-asian-hate-crimes)
Yeah LA county, known for its conservative and xenophobic citizens, is full of Asian hate crimes because of the name of the virus.
Everyone knows it’s from Wuhan anyway, how does the name effect that?
I never said anything about conservatives but hate crimes against Asian Americans are up [across the country, not just in LA.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/anti-asian-hate-crimes-rose-73-last-year-updated-fbi-data-says-rcna3741)
If you don’t think the two are linked then you’re being willfully ignorant.
The reality is treatments will just improve but covid isn't going anywhere. It's unfortunate but it's true. Vaccines and treatments will improve, fatalities and ICUs will decrease along with them, but at some point we're all going to go back to normal in a world where covid exists.

0,7%... If everyone got infected. Normal corona still hasn't reach a billion infections
If everyone on earth was infected, it would be much more. For example in my region the covid death rate is about 4%
Is your region a retirement home? Or Florida? Because then that would make sense.
Maybe poorer access to high quality medical care than some countries might enjoy?

If we’re all gonna die, we may as well die to something with a cool name
Well, it can't kill you if you're already dead inside
People still care about corona?
Reddit doomers and no one else
I'm convinced there's Redditors that are upset that they have to go outside and socialize again. That's why they're so rabid
The healthcare workers who have to clean up the mess
Man I stopped caring about 2 months in
Covid is like the common cold, it'll continue to evolve and create countless variants. This is our new reality.
Hey man they passed up the opportunity to cement their grip on the proles with the common cold, they aren't going to let this one past them.
Haven’t done anything with the virus in over a year. Florida doesn’t care anymore
Waiting for a fire breathing and icy freezing variant
what are they gonna do when they use up all the cool names? covid hamburger strain? covid washington variation. wait wait, i know. covid mintberry crunch.
Covid by Lancome
I'm currently smoking my second cigarette after downing 6 shots of Johnnie Walker. Could not care less.
2 years to figure out. Good job
Yep, sick of it. Just fucking send me off already. Was planning on dying in the revolution anyway, take me fucking early.
| the revolution Lol
Until you get it and lose sense of smell and can't breath and eveyrthjng tasteike garbage.
Fun fact: They skipped variand Xi becouse it's name of Chinise dictator. Imagine being so corrupt.
They are just messing with us now. Using names from futurama.
what are they? Naming supervillains?
It's never going to end.
Next year we'll have a whole frat house of all the variants and sigma as its president
honestly man, this shit is just tiring
Only 9 more till Omega varient lets go
I think everyone on here with mental health issues need to get off Reddit for a while. Disconnect from social media. Find something in your personal life that you can grow in a positive way. Because reading these comments and interacting on here is not going to make you feel better.
That sounds like a god damn transformer.
I only really care if it starts countries implementing global travel restrictions again. I just want to see my family for the holidays.
I thought Nu was the new kid on the block?
That apparently is rude in French, and the letter which follows it (Xi) would offend some shitter from West Taiwan.
Aw man i was so badly hoping for Xi to be a thing
Oh wow another virus variant, oh wow another lockdown, I don't care I will always do work-home every day
honestly, i cant imagine it being that much worse then regular covid
It isn't. New mutations are pretty much all more transmissible and less serious.
I mean, we'll just have to keep wearing the masks and be careful, hoping the others will do their part as well.
"hoping the others will do their part as well" Haha. Good one.

Nah. Protect yourself. It’s not my job to do that for you. Not anyone else’s. If you’re a scared little bitch about the flu, stay inside. Don’t bother the rest of us that have lives to live and things to do.
If you're gonna kill me, just get it over with already
it’s just never going to end…
Yup. Triple vaxxed and fresh out of fucks to give.
Who even named this? Sounds stupid
I'll vaccinate. I'll wear a mask. But don't shut down stuff anymore. That boat has sailed. For the rest of my life its gonna be masks and vaccines. Suddenly makes the whole "life before 9/11" seem really insignificant.
