    No worries the pandemic is over so these deaths are just normal ones again. Like dying from the flu or exposure or starvation or a car accident or a school shooting. Nothing to worry about just normal rational parts of life

      You're actually the weird one if you care about dying/not dying. That's on you.

      People are getting sick all the time but it's always ABC (anything but COVID).

      So many people getting sick right now with "a cold" or something unidentifiable/nebulous. In the summer. Right.

      Although, hell, because of immune dysregulation from COVID, I suppose not all of it may be COVID. Though the wastewater data is going up again.

        And hospitalizations are going up now, despite no longer testing everyone admitted.

          I wonder what proportion of hospitals are even testing for COVID anymore. Ugh.

          I also saw something in the WSWS (yeah I know they're problematic but they have good COVID coverage) that said that the number of wastewater sites reporting data in the US has decreased by like 25% in recent weeks. Which sucks because I feel like that's the only thing left that has even a degree of usefulness in gauging COVID levels.

      KN95s. You cna get them at like target cheaply enough. They are I assume a good compromise between comfort and protection.

      I bought a big box of KN95 masks a few months ago as a precautionary measure, you can get them for dirt cheap nowadays, but also the strap quality is terrible for me, I haven't found a good brand with straps that don't break if you do as much as direct a mean glance at them.

      I've won KN95s before but they absolutely tear up my ears due to my big head carrying around this big leftist brain.

      I'm willing to pay a little to maybe a lot extra for comfortable straps along with added protection.
