The government is still screaming "French kiss every stranger you meet then spit directly in to their mouths", which is not helpful.

The wastewater numbers and test positivity in my area are both higher than previous troughs and trending up. Does that mean Covid is spreading more aggressively? Does it mean anything? The only data I have, and that as far as I know anyone has, is test positivity and wastewater numbers. I feel like I'm going fucking nuts because EVERYONE, including the fucking contagion dispersal cult, says Covid is over but the actual available data says it's trucking right along and nothing has changed.

I want to screm-a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    I'm in Florida, so YMMV, but Wastewater is definitely rising around the state significantly worse than the "off season" of March to May-ish. But again, it's incredibly difficult to tell how much of an off season we had when we're only monitoring 9 out of 67 counties. I can guarantee there were small spikes going unmonitored during that time, but nothing to back it up. I mean, the counties we are monitoring never get close to zero anymore. I think it's best to just accept that those days are behind us and we have to always be on guard. Which fucking sucks. I was just thinking how fucking depressing it is that I've gotta purify my own room and prioritize my own well being because my family has no concern for theirs or mine. It's not a healthy mindset to have to maintain.

    According to posts on Twitter Japan was getting hit hard, and dunno if its related but the news over in the UK has finally acknowledge a new variant called 'Eris' ctrl-f, 0 results for masking.

    I got my last vax in november of last year, not sure if I should try to get a shot now (no healthcare, little money) or wait till the new one releases. either way, I'll continue n-95ing it around people indefinitely. But tbh, except for family and shopping, I pretty much avoid people. doomer
