This shit has got me feeling depressed again. We as a country aren't going to collectively wear masks. We aren't going to continue to social distance. We pretty much seem ****ed.

Pretty much. It kind of is what it is until there's a vaccine. People aren't willing to compromise to make it better without one.

Really good breakdown of COVID numbers and ICU capacity from a Houston hospital system. Don't see much Giannis Antetokounmpo salting of the numbers here.

But let's be clear: there were other parts of the country that acted the same way toward New Yorkers in supercilious fashion when NYC was the world's hotspot. There's some schadenfreude at work here and it's not unwarranted. |

I posted this in mid-May explaining how caseload numbers can be deceiving given that we were coming off of a lockdown. I think it's worth reading again.

I’m more upset with the political climate than C19. But if you’re depressed you just need to shut down the news and social media for a day or 2 and just chill. Especially the news media. They are selling doom and gloom better than ever.

I wish I could.
I need to force myself to do so, but I seriously can't look away. It's like watching a train wreck. |

Don't let the media hype get to you and that is what a lot of this is. There is a lot of overreaction going on. We flattened the curve like we set out to do and the vast majority of hospitals are doing just fine.

And I think of speeding tickets as a tax, and one I'd actually pay in order to keep speeding.... one ticket every couple years, averaging out to ~$50/year, meh. Granted, I haven't had one in 5+ years at this point, mostly due to living in Arizona, where 10-15 over is the norm. |

If you wanted herd immunity, the likelihood of it with the protests and people not taking the virus seriously is pretty high now. Spikes in cases can be attributed to both I’m sure.
