Fuck this new California strain. If vaccines fail on it are we going to have to wait another 10 months? Or will it go faster? I know this is selfish, but I just really really want to have dinner parties every day for a year. Fuck this fucking virus

there may still be some good level of effectiveness with the vaccine even if there is some degree of immune escape. but with people yolo’ing it with the lockdowns it will go badly. however, the return of outdoor dining seems like a reasonable compromise if other efforts are taken

Yeah, that makes sense. It's just fucking with my ability to figure out how much risk I'm under, and how soon certain things will be safe enough for me.

I feel you. Maybe I should return a focus to cardiovascular health, and respiratory. It is killing a lot of people but it seems to do so in three main ways, restricting oxygen, 2ndry infection, causing damage to the epithelial cells and in e.g. arteries causing e.g. blood clots,

i guess four ways, have to include overinflammation e.g. cytokine storm.

Hmmm, that's true. Might be worth just assuming I'll eventually get it (maybe multiple times) and try to get my body ready for it in the meantime. Thats... not a pleasant thought.

I think even in a background of pervasive community spread if you are careful with air and masks and situations you can drop your probability of exposure on any given month like 90% or something, maybe more.

Yep, but if we are still in this for a year or two, chances of getting it look pretty high even doing that. I've been very careful so far, and I intend to continue to be, but none of it is perfect.

it seems a fair challenge but doable to avoid it until you get vaccinate. if most people do this and the cross immunity is good enough r_t can be drvien below 1 and it is possible to drive extinction of some strains.
