Sorry man. It hurts to get fucked over. It hurts more when it’s family members doing it.

Youngest was supposed to go for road test tomorrow. Now he isn't feeling great and we were already on the "let's reschedule that" anyway, but still. He has asthma so of course a respiratory disease is a bad thing. FUUUUUUUUUCK.
We are going for the deep nose test today or first thing in the morning.

Your rage is completely appropriate, AB.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

We returned three negative results for the family unit. But I have been laid up since about three. Chills bloated and cannot get comfortable. Achy achy achy

A local HS that my wife’s health dept deals with suddenly switched to all remote learning on Friday. At least 18 teachers are in quarantine. The not publicly known part of the story is that a relatively famous TikTok’r (millions of followers) attends the school, has been traveling for “work” and is patient zero.

How two 20-somethings and their dance parties helped set back Utah’s pandemic progress
How two 20-somethings and their dance parties helped set back Utah’s pandemic progress
The Instagram post began by saying the planned dance party for Aug. 7 in Provo was canceled due to health and safety concerns.
“However,” the post — as written — continued, “due to us not being little b****, we are replacing it with THE UNDERGROUND DANCE PARTY.”
The address in Provo was disclosed the day of the party to prevent any efforts to quash it, according to social media posts from the organizers, a company calling itself Young/Dumb. Admittance was $10.
A back-to-school dance party followed in Provo, the seat of Utah County, on Sept. 4. A week later, Young/Dumb tossed a masquerade party in neighboring Orem.
As the parties continued, so did the coronavirus cases. It’s difficult to pinpoint where anyone gets infected from such a communicable virus. A spokeswoman for the Utah County Health Department on Friday said it had no data showing how the dance parties affected the spread there.

Amazon extends working from home into summer.
Also...kinda says something that this thread was all the way back on Page 4.Amazon.com will let corporate employees work from home through June 2021, the latest company to push back reopening offices as COVID-19 cases surge again across the U.S.
“We continue to prioritize the health of our employees and follow local government guidance,” an Amazon spokesperson said in an email. “Employees who work in a role that can effectively be done from home are welcome to do so until June 30, 2021.”

I can’t remember if I posted this here, but it turns out the morons in Utah County were the source of my daughter’s Covid. They opened their schools in August, my daughter’s friend’s boyfriend’s sister caught it, and it went up the chain from there.
My daughter’s sense of smell still hasn’t returned. She “recovered” a full month ago.

Pay wall blocked the article, which is probably good, as I am angry enough just reading the clip. Fuck those guy, I hope they face some sort of legal consequences. I'm not a fan of doxxing, but in this case I'm happy they are identified. If you knowingly endanger the health of your community, especially charging an entry fee, then you deserve it. They fully understood what they were doing and flaunted the law and even gave themselves a stupid name making fun of their idiocy.

Steve, that has to be so frustrating for your daughter. All things considered, not the worst possible symptom, but it has to be concerning. Hoping she fully recovers soon.

"On Tuesday, local health officials ordered students at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to stay in their residences except for essential activities effective immediately, in an effort to control an escalating community outbreak."
“During the day, on campus, everyone’s fine and following the rules,” said Emma Stein, a senior news editor at The Michigan Daily, the student paper, who is now confined at home with her eight roommates. “But at night, on weekends, they don’t.”
Fuck nights and weekends what about Tuesday mornings breathing on your roommates. Being stuck in a dorm full of kids is not optimal.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
The UMich situation is interesting and seems like an outlier. Earlier they quarantined an entire dorm because of an outbreak and students refusing to get tested. Large numbers of students are using local testing instead of the testing through the University in order to avoid quarantines and other negative repercussions.They are overwhelmed and can't do contact tracing, but earlier research tied hotspots to large parties.
This dashboard has a good comparison of Big ten schools. Adding to the possible causes the central administration and the president in particular has come under fire. At the beginning of the semester Grad TA's and RA's went on strike because of the re-opening plans. I think the administration lost their students and will have a very difficult time having them follow any Covid restrictions. They may need someone like the football team to join them in order for the students to listen to any restrictions.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Maybe but living together a whole different deal than going to grade school. Likewise an institutions decision to reopen totally separate from a parents or employees individual decision to show up. My nephew is in a dorm in NC with several cases. I don't see how that's ever safe. Classes only with masks and distancing orders of magnitude less risky. Still maybe not the move to send your kid or show for work. But that's individual arithmetic.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Pretty interesting data. Chart shows less than 20 cases per day at almost all the schools though. Is that a lot? Some of those schools are pretty big. But guess thats about 2500 a semester.

Umer Raffat, an analyst at Evercore ISI, says that other vaccine trials could see similarly slower-than-expected rates of infection among participants.
“If people enroll in this vaccine trial and don’t feel fever or major sore arm after the shot, they kinda know they got placebo, so they remain cautious and keep masks on,” he said. That extra caution could depress infection rates, delaying data that reveal whether a vaccine works or not.

After Halloween rave amid a covid-19 spike, Utah officials say partygoers ‘absolutely will become ill’
Thousands of people gathered in the desert to party in costumes, many without masks, in Utah on Saturday at a rave that broke the state’s pandemic restrictions.
They may have gotten away with it, too, if a crowd-surfing woman hadn’t fallen on her head, prompting other partygoers to call 911 after she was knocked unconscious for several minutes, KSTU reported.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Didn't disappear after 11/3
The United States reported 103,087 cases of COVID-19 today, the highest single-day total on record, according to the COVID Tracking Project at The Atlantic. It marks the first time that the country—or any country in the world, for that matter—has documented more than 100,000 new cases in one day.
At the same time, states reported that more than 52,000 people are hospitalized with the coronavirus, the highest level since early August. The number of people hospitalized nationwide is increasing faster in November than it did in October, and—over the past 10 days—their ranks have risen by about 1,000 people a day.

77 pages and no one gives a fuck about a vaccine? New normal indeed.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
90% effective at less than $40. Are you serious. Momentous.
FAST FACTS
Cost:
$39. In July, Pfizer said it would charge the U.S. $19.50 per dose (the vaccine requires two doses, three weeks apart), FOX Business previously reported.
Number of doses:
Pfizer has previously said it hopes to produce as many as 50 million doses by the end of this year (assuming approval from the FDA) and as many as 1.3 billion in 2021. At 2 doses per vaccination, that translated to 25 million people receiving a vaccination.

I am encouraged that this time it's an actual company and not Moderna making the claims. The first few claims were like Fruit Loops saying they had a vaccine.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Pretty sure moderna is an actual company. VC darling most likely. But there should be rejoicing here. 90% is beyond expectations and they'll have 20 million doses at an insanely low pice... those guys could definitely make more money at $3k a pop... and other likely vaccines right behind it. Just massive news. Buying summer vacation type news.
