biden administration putting a big happy seal of approval on the mountain of child corpses
i don't doubt that if a variant proves to be more deadly for kids than the original covid strain, those ghouls will suppress the data.
The Free Ice Cream program is coming, don't worry.
The survivors will be happy.
He's an ice cream eater, that's for sure https://www.eater.com/2020/4/24/21234361/joe-bidens-campaign-spent-over-10000-on-jenis-ice-cream
does anyone have data on how many people were killed in each wave of the spanish flu?
Way more in the second wave, cytokine storms meant that otherwise healthy and young people's own immune system wound up killing them. Don't recall the data off-hand though
weird stuff.
One one hand, your "too strong" immune system kills you
On the other hand, high testosterone kills you by suppressing the immune system
It can't be both without there being a fundamental radical misunderstanding in how immunity works
of course, because the original covid was no more dangerous for kids than the flu.
but this news about the delta variant seems bad. really bad.
after actually reading the article:
While cases among children are growing at an alarming rate, the delta variant is not confirmed to be more dangerous in children than adults, Laham and other pediatric infectious disease experts nationwide told NBC News.
"It's too early to tell," Bernhard Wiedermann, an infectious diseases specialist at Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. told NBC News. "It's going to take time and a collection of data from multiple sites to know" if delta is more virulent in kids than previous strains of the virus.
this is clickbait, and absolutely disgusting clickbait that preys on parents' fears for the children, at that. the increases in sick kids is because of an overall increase in cases, not an increase in sick kids per case, which would indicate a more deadly variant than the original. the Hill is such fucking trash.
I wonder what the rate of long term neurological impact is going to be, given long covid in adults can be pretty brutal even if they’re not hospitalised
One death is one death too many but this is what really scares me.
We could end up with half the population having some kind of long term neurological damage
Could it aslo just be downplaying by the press though
Idk why people think the press always downplays things but it is kind of the opposite, the press really really likes doing the opposite of downplaying because it causes more panic reads.
Exactly, unironically it's that strategy of tension type shit. You get people all scared and worried about their safety, then the ghouls step in an offer a sense of security.
that is anecdotal and based on kids who come into the hospital. i bet there are WAY more infected kids than that. that doctor is only seeing the ones who are the sickest. 10% of the ones who come into the hospital need to be hospitalized makes sense, because that's why they are there. i don't think it's a good indicator of whether the new variant is any more deadly than the previous strains.
the delta variant is not confirmed to be more dangerous in children than adults
But that's saying it's not MORE dangerous. The other COVID is LESS dangerous to kids
Why is it so much worse in the states. Delta doesn't seem to be shit here. I mean, over 80% are vaccinated, but still.
with that level of population immunization, it probably can't spread through community transmission as easily. it's just really infectious. so it's getting everyone not-vaccinated infected really quickly, and there's enough of them to keep it circulating and spreading.
From what I have seen, we had almost no pediatric fataltities from vanilla covid. I have seen a handful with this spicy covid. So it it too soon to tell but something is going on. I couldn't say how much of what I have seen locally holds true for anyplace else.
Also I dunno if we can pick the signal out of the noise if it is because people don't care about safety anymore or the new strian. Too early to tell but probably both though.
Having headlines like this in The Hill of all places kinda feels like it's hinting that Biden will "have to lock down cuz all the science and media says so". It's a setup
Would be cool if so. I don't give a fuck who is in charge just pleas lock down for a minute
The Monkey's Paw Curls
Lockdown is reinitiated, but there is no rent forgiveness or eviction moratorium. 60 Million families are evicted from their homes, which Blackrock buys for 20 cents on the dollar. Far right anti-vaxx extrimest violence is on the rise because of the lockdown, and there is a mass shooting on average every 18 hours in each of the 50 states.
Really
The virus that is dangerous for humans is also dangerous for slightly smaller humans
Who would have fucking guessed
yeah but that's not really how it works. covid was super deadly for older people, the spanish flu mostly killed people in their 20s. etc.
No, covid vanilla was hardly dangerous for children barring few rare cases, almost no children ever even got hospitalized, and this one is probably still not nearly as dangerous as it is for adults. It's just not the same across all ages. So far 300 children in the US have died in total. Compare that to the 616k deaths overall.
the spanish flu episode 1 waz just supr deadly for old people. they didnt take it super srsly bcz of this. then the flu evolvd nto episode 2.
ep 2 killed kids and people in their 20s. They didnt giv a fuk at first & theen the vrius came back 4 seconds.
We had a century and we've learned nothing.
No kid chose to have antivax caregivers, tf is wrong with you
woke orphan who chooses a neglectful foster home because "they're cool and not strict like my old guardians"
Maybe they are talking about the 12+ group? I dunno. But yeah kids below 12 years old aren't being vaccinated at all and it's gonna be some time before they are probably.
Nah, won't be enough to bother at this rate
Haha, piles of dead children so big we have to start having corpse fires again, murrca, you scamp!
Okay but look, childcare is expensive, and especially when you're work from home you just can't have them around all day, Jesus! Look, I had kids to give my shallow facade of a life deliberately stripped of all autonomy and meaning some sort of substance, and something I could boss around, not to fucking raise and teach and nurture and spend time with the fucking things!
So yeah, refrigerated trucks functioning as auxiliary morgues full of tiny little bodies, but at least I'll have some fucking quiet.
What if, instead of waiting around for worldwide infertility, we produce the material conditions of Children of Men by simply genociding the youths?
