Coronavirus (renting, crime, house)

I blame California's uptick in cases due to sucking in their own air for two years and not building immunity in a normal God given way!

What I do know is fairly clear: surges can't happen with much immunity to infection. Everywhere in California had that in, say, mid-February. New Orleans too, I assume. And since then it's been wearing off, because as I warned antibodies from boosters and Omicron infection do quickly. Waning immunity - science.

Ok so nothing to do with a large event, which was my point.

The increase coincides with a loosening of COVID-19 restrictions such as mask mandates and vaccine verification rules as well as the rise of new subvariants of the highly transmissible Omicron strain. The question now is how much higher cases will go and whether new government intervention will be needed.

“We’re expecting a small surge that may mirror something that we saw in Delta last summer, in early July, but it’s happening now, in May,” Dr. Curtis Chan, deputy health officer for San Mateo County, said in an interview.

Chan expects a rise in both hospitalizations and deaths but doesn’t believe a new surge would be as bad as last winter’s Omicron wave."

How serious are these new cases? Omecron was a big nothing-burger.

Meanwhile, a separate survey by the NEA in February sounded the alarm on the teacher shortage potentially worsening. According to the union's survey, 55% of educators were thinking about quitting the profession earlier than planned, which was up from just 37% in August 2021.

People talk plenty about how the virus is becoming not scary and recent variants do seem to do little harm to most vaccinated people without major risk factors, but it will never turn into the common cold and I don't see how teaching children in person can ever be made low-risk to educators. Teachers can mask up with N95s (or better), be tested daily non-invasively eventually, ventilation improvements are ongoing, and in time vaccines will be better, but I don't think all that can quash a measles-like virulence. Maybe Evusheld will be made available to many teachers if situational risk becomes a qualifier? There is my idea for a large supply of skilled subs for the expected frequent absences from infections, which would prevent some shutdowns. Too many students or bus drivers out would still shut schools temporarily. Most importantly, what happens if many teachers quit and are replaced only partially and by inferior teachers? The only people who care besides teachers have kids in public schools?

Colbert urged those who were watching to get vaccinated and boosted if they haven’t already done so “because it is not a pleasant experience.”
