One of the best vaccinated countries in the world, currently - more per 100 people than the US.
Serbia is also one of the best vaccinated countries in the world and they’re on lockdown again. irishtimes.com/news/world/eur…
Call me crazy, but perhaps we should heed the advice of the experts telling us we're going to undo all of our progress if we're not extremely careful? cnbc.com/amp/2021/03/20…
"So it is unfortunate but not surprising to me that you are seeing increases in number of cases per day in areas — cities, states, or regions — even though vaccines are being distributed at a pretty good clip of 2 to 3 million per day," Fauci added.
"That could be overcome if certain areas pull back prematurely on the mitigation and public health measures that we all talk about."
Prediction: we won't care until it's too late.

I think I'd rather listen to medical doctors vs. an economist as to what the implications of children getting COVID are.
This medical doctor, for instance, says he's very worried about the longterm implications for children who've had COVID.
I'm aghast at how irresponsible that interview in Slate is. Last time I checked, kids don't experience cognitive issues, or have to sit out sports for an entire season, or have their adult teeth fall out, from colds.

We need to pay attention to this. Most of the cases in Italy are people under 50 + children; the B117 variant is being spread in schools there. nytimes.com/2021/03/14/wor…
Current statistics in Italy. Scroll to bottom to see a breakdown of cases by age. epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/sa…
You might also want to listen to this. In it he talks about an astounding undercounting of pediatric COVID cases. Short version: Mississippi reported just under 9000 cases of COVID, but serological testing later revealed it to be over 100K.

I urge them all to put on their acting caps, get with some costume people, and make it as entertaining as possible. Or, if allowed by rules, invite celebs in for dramatic readings.
Then, at every break, meet with the press and highlight all the things that are desperately needed and are being unnecessarily delayed.
Being props and photographs to the readings. Maybe an enormous poster showing mobile morgues with text that says “I’d rather be helping Americans in need but Republicans are making us do this instead.”

If you want to have an idea of how your behavior's being tracked, purposely search for something to buy that's unusual (to you, that is), then watch it follow you around for a good long time.
As many have commented, and this is an even better idea: talk about it. Pick a random thing you have no use for and no plans on buying, write it down on a piece of paper, show it to your partner/housemates, and talk incessantly about it for 15 minutes. Then see what happens.
For those of you noticing ads after lingering in a store department, or when you’re at the checkout counter: lifehacker.com/how-retail-sto…

Some perspective if you’re in an area where everything’s open and you’re wondering if you’re crazy for being cautious and worried.
We seem have boiling frog syndrome when it comes to COVID. There’s a lot of focus on downward trends, w/ little attention given to the fact that our levels are worse than countries instituting much stricter measures...
or that our current levels have merely gone from mind-blowingly horrible to the slightly less mind-blowingly horrible levels of early fall.

FYI, these aren’t super spy James Bond-type operations. They’re commercially available to anyone. If you’re receiving marketing emails, your receiving these pixels with them. bbc.com/news/amp/techn…
The good news: it’s much more regulated than social media.
The bad news: when paired with social media, a lot of damage can be done. twitter.com/i/events/10080…
