D&D and the rising pandemic

And the defense that Fox gave to the courts that no reasonable person would believe Carlson and that he has no credibility flies right in the face of what they actually expect of him.

That's just... I can't even. Man, I hate that guy.

20 new cases today with one death (27 total). 90 year old women died.

Looks like we might be in single numbers again 1 case of delta bloomed into 700+.

 

[Hussar]

So, we're currently in our worst wave yet of virus. Yet, the government wants to start easing travel restrictions as early as October.

Oh, and just had our first confirmed case of Mu.

I think I'm going back to bed now.

Dare I ask... what is Mu?

Dare I ask... what is Mu?

The Mu variant of covid.

Health officials "keeping a very close eye" on COVID-19 Mu variant

The World Health Organization has dubbed Mu a "variant of interest," but the U.S. says it is not "an immediate threat" for the time being.

Oh I figured as much, I guess I meant "what's its deal compared to the others". (I'll check out your link for the answer).

Aside: Why'd they jump all the way to Mu? Or have they already identified Epsilon to Lambda, but those variants aren't worth talking about, being relative wimps?

Basically, vaccines may not be as effective against it.

AH, okay. Yeah, so far as I understand, it's just a potential big one they're watching out for. It's new, so it might not respond to the treatmetns we've developed.

edit: Yeah, what @Dannyalcatraz said!

Just what we need!

So, we get one to practice with masking, but don't need the masks quite as much for younger folks. Then we get one that really needs masks for lots of folks, but the vaccine and another treatment (if you can get it) help. I wish I thought all that practicing with masking and distancing meant folks in the US would just do it when a variant that really need it comes around...
