    It's like we are stuck in a loop of collectively forgetting that when 33% of the workforce is out sick that the economy fails to function correctly

      Nobody's forgetting, they're just betting they can wear us down into subservience while they put the finishing touches on militarizing the police force just in case we don't.

      The reddit link I posted is peak :morshupls:

      They want it to be over so badly. Sorry y’all this is still exponential, there remain a ton of people unvaxxed, and even for those of us boosted effectiveness is waning. And I think only like 13% of amerikkkans have boosters

      Edit: 30% boosted still not great

        Technically this is still a spike, purely because not enough time has passed to get enough data points to establish a trend. But the idea that the math of how viruses spread has suddenly changed is pure cope.
        I assume you'll be vindicated by next week, but it's possible the summer wave won't really kick in for a month or so.

    Summer COVID waves are my least favorite change in life. Summer was my respite from catching whatever Winter illness from the office.

    Who else is ready for endemic Covid?

    Love to have Covid Season Summers and Flu/Covid Season Winters 😍

      Back on the old sub when the pandemic made its way to the states I said this thing was perfectly suited to annihilate us and predicted a million people would die. Who knew I was being conservative

        I mean in all honesty you probably should have known that to be a conservative estimate even at the time you made the prediction. Who seriously believed American bureaucracy could act either swiftly or competently, let alone do both simultaneously?

          I thought it was a good if slightly doompilled (what’s the difference honestly) estimate at the time, but I think we will easily be way over that. They’ll probably just stop counting.

    Look at the cases over time...

    If it's anything like Canada, the government has taken steps to stop updating the official numbers, and the only real indicator is the waste water studies, and those indicate the case numbers are growing exponentially.

    Wonder what kind of headlines Covid would be making if Pelosi and others on the hill hadn't caught it.
