p sure Lake of the Ozarks is already a rich soup of communicable pathogens. Maybe coronavirus will simply be outcompeted by gonorrhea and opioid abuse

I can't really pin down demographics over here. the only group I see not wearing them more than others is high-school and college kids, but I've even seen them starting to
I would agree that non-maskwearers in the grocery store are very rare and almost universally twentysomething/teens. Outside, almost everyone, including me, is unmasked (it's uncrowded enough here that people aren't close to each other for long.)

-10 y life expectancy:
This is a remarkable chart. Your risk of dying in the UK from coronavirus is the same as "normal annual risk". https://t.co/Hli7YPoARsWorth noting, this risk profile will be different if the health system is overwhelmed and will be different for other countries. pic.twitter.com/nIRZqlIjgq— Akshat Rathi (@AkshatRathi) May 24, 2020

One way to think about that is: if you get coronavirus then your risk of dying that year is twice what it would otherwise be. That’s not a huge deal for a 30 year old because it’s very rare for 30 year olds to die, but it’s not great if you’re 80.

yep. the chart puts it into a harrowing perspective. this is why I'm wearing a mask in the house around my dad.
i'm afraid to share the chart though because I know people will go "SEE, IT'S NO RISKIER THAN EVER!"

This is sort of like "if you don't want to get punched in the face, don't march through downtown holding your Nazi flag" - if you don't want to get chased out of the supermarket, put a fucking mask on.

IHME sucked and “curve fitting” is an example of the hubris of people without any domain expertise who can code and have total faith in “data”

How did we get to this url?
Of the 251 orchestra strandings over the last 187 years (orchestra stranding reporting only started in the 1830s), only 23 were in German castles. 18 of those castles were haunted, and of those 18, only 5 were surrounded with wolves. Of those 5, 3 were Bolivian. The first of those was in 1847. The second was in 1918, during the flu pandemic. And finally, there was this one, during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020.

regarding the ethics of yelling at these stupid fucking death cult morons whenever necessary:
These social dynamics aren’t worth keeping. It’s gross to expect people with less power to tolerate living with less safety. It’s gross that we let a certain sector of society run unchecked, spreading the virus and their gun-rage.
If you have the social privilege of safety, now is the time to be rude. Use your rudeness to protect yourself, your family, and everyone else in this world.

yelling means you’re forcefully ejecting microscopic droplets from your mouth so seems a bit counterproductive, unless you think the satisfaction of being vindictive and sanctimonious is worth it
