26/ 70% is the cut off for herd immunity. Between vaccines and prior infected, US is up to about 1/3 of that. Rate of infection is already slowing bc of partial herd immunity. Yes, covid is almost over.

27/ This is EXACTLY my point. Normal people have "I am terribly lonely" experiences ALL THE GOD DAMNED TIME, and, yes, it very much sucks ... but it's TYPICAL, COMMON, NORMAL. It is not "abuse". It just sucks.https://twitter.com/The_Petrichory/status/1357395223798681600 …

28/ A lot of people kill themselves all the time. Life is cruel, life can suck. I've seen tons of people saying "suicide is spiking", but no serious data. https://twitter.com/ITBeHa/status/1357395573163311108 …

29/ "perpetual" ? There is no "perpetual". There is "until the vaccine rolls out / we hit herd immunity". And we're already 1/3 of the way there.https://twitter.com/LostConservativ/status/1357396120255791113 …

30/ Failing to put my faith in your assertion that "a policy that absolutely everyone hates will persist forever ; I know this because reasons" is not remotely about me trusting government. It's about me trusting feedback loops. https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1357396110944387072 …

31/ TSA is reasonably popular, tho. You can mess with people's shoes and they're all "muh thing blue line!". You tell people that they can't go to bars, though ... https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1357397880668102656 …

32/ No, I certainly don't think that (a) anyone should make light of the loneliness and unhappiness, (b) anything you say can make it much better HOWEVER, there is a teaching opportunity here, along the lines of "be grateful for how much you still have"https://twitter.com/politicalmath/status/1357398878186729475 …

33/ I don't block people over their opinions. (or over anything, actually) I mute people if they express those opinions in stupid / annoying ways. I'll listen to anything if the S/N ratio is high enough.https://twitter.com/Laserpig_Utopia/status/1357399365661384707 …

MC_Enthusiast @Laserpig_UtopiaReplying to @shlevy @MorlockP @eigenrobotI'd absolutely love to. I think the only opinion I have that would likely get Morlock to block me is that talking to other people is a key part of a virtuous life. Lucky for me I can always buy more of his books should the worst come to pass.3 replies 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

35/ I don't take issue with either of those things ... as I've said like 5 or 10 times in this thread. What I take issue with this the failure to CALIBRATE. Does it suck? Yes Are people lonely and sad? Yes Is it "abuse" ? Is it motivated by cruelty? No https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1357402650216693762 …

37/ EXACTLY I am perfectly willing to debate the policy. I can't imagine that it is the best policy, or implemented well. What I hate is the very left-style "NOTE THE MAGNITUDE OF MY SUFFERING AND THEN AGREE WITH ME, BECAUSE SUFFERING = VIRTUE"https://twitter.com/AngryFoodie2015/status/1357403123568963585 …

Matt @AngryFoodie2015Replying to @MorlockPYou kicked the hornet's nest with this thread. Xer and millennial parents who never felt the hardships you cite see their kids suffering and think it's the worst thing ever. Possible to argue school closures are a bad policy without catastrophizing their effect tho2 replies 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -

39/ > If it were, you would not see "case" numbers diving first, there was a recent change in methodology for computing the statistic, second of all, herd immunity is not a boolean - partial herd immunity decreases R0
