D&D and the rising pandemic

Depending on the system you may not need to hack the database. You may just need someone to have leaked a range of ID numbers that have been set to "vaxxed=true".

That's still part of what I mean about secure.

If one knows someone or fan bribe the civil service in a widespread fashion it will make travel that much harder I guess.
 

Politicization of COVID in the US live...

Just heard another parent at summer camp talking on the phone. "Yeah, we were going to go to New York last April and had tickets for everything. Then the Chinese let that virus out of their lab." (With some hate in his voice. There was an expletive too, but I don't remember if it was before the nationality or virus).

Meanwhile, how many outbreaks have we had here in the US just in the last few weeks amongst the vast unvaxxed masses thanks to parents sending their kids to summer/church camp? I can recall at least three. :mad:
 


Also in the USA…

A friend of ours got vaccinated despite 2 MDs telling her not to. Worse, there was just an article in one of the peer reviewed pediatric journals that got retracted today because a LOT of pediatricians raised an uproar about blatant misinformation within it.
 


Was happy to see that at least half the folks at an arts supply store and a kitchen utensil/home decorating store had masks the other day. I wonder if it was higher than some places because most of the customers were female.

At the game shop for the pre-release there were 9 people in the shop, all the adults were vaccinated, they spread out to play, and one sitting across from us put on his mask when they saw my son wearing one.
 

Qurantine system here seems to be holding up vs Delta at least for now.


You get a menu and there's a limit if 1 bottle if wine or 4 beers per day. To even get into the qurantine system you need a negative test.

You get tested twice while in quarantine so 3 tests total.

AFAIK they bus you to the qurantine with the military involved.

The reasonably few vaccines available went to the border workers first. Refusal has lead to some job losses and fines.

Here’s an article from The Atlantic detailing what’s going on in Missouri:


Essentially, some of the hospitals are experiencing surges in patient loads comparable to what they did in some of the worst parts of 2020. Delta is spreading faster contact tracers can work. It’s like a sequel to a horror movie.

In addition, there was this reality check:

“I don’t think people get that once you become sick enough to be hospitalized with COVID, the medications and treatments that we have are, quite frankly, not very good,” says Howard Jarvis, the medical director of Cox South’s emergency department. Drugs such as dexamethasone offer only incremental benefits. Monoclonal antibodies are effective only during the disease’s earliest stages. Doctors can give every recommended medication, and patients still have a high chance of dying. The goal should be to stop people from getting sick in the first place.

Things are trending similarly in Arkansas.


Hospitalizations have quadrupled since May.

The article notes that several of the patients who have survived hospitalization are still more afraid of the vaccine than the virus. “It’s still too new.” one said, “It’s like an experiment.” This after being hospitalized, unable to breathe unassisted.
