The Virus Outbreak Thread

k

Friends of my parents are getting it and my mom is wondering why she hasn't yet. I want it now too.

7 California counties advance into red tier: What this means

@Flutter_Lover

Meanwhile Texas and Mississippi are racing each other to see who can kill the most of their citizens.

@Zincy
How depressing…..

@Flutter_Lover

Makes me happy to live in a state whose leaders vaguely know their asses from holes in the ground.

My mom just recently called me and said that she got her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

So earlier last night, I had yet another episode of Intermittent Explosive Disorder outburst triggered by watching yesterday's news about how China's vaccines made it first through the country rather than what we mostly wanted. (Pfizer or Astra)

If there's like anything that I messed up about during my verbal rampage then it's calling someone's nation and ethnicity a foul word here. Since my lifelong disorder would often out of the blue violently emerge uncontrollably caused by either ranging between the simplest to a more serious or urgent forms of situations, I would like to sincerely apologize to whom i've verbally hurt for my actions. This also even for myself is not something I would want to conduct on my own consent but this is a genetic disorder i'm talking about…It runs through the family (dad's side).

I'm mostly seen here as a chill and funny guy but I really apologize to this as well that I'm also on rare occassions an out of control berserk who was inevitably ticked by an acting catalyst or by fate.

@Count Adramélekh Sear
You definitely crossed a line. I'm just glad you owned up to it. Maybe this is a good reason to just avoid the news for a while.

@Count Adramélekh Sear

It takes a strong man to admit when one was wrong.

It took offense because of my current relationship, as I am dating a Chinese woman. So, I took the implications toward the Chinese a little more personally.

@Count Adramélekh Sear
I won't comment about your apology. Your words and action in the future determine its validity.

The negative fallout of my meltdown has really taken it's toll over me I guess. People whom I've hurt or offended naturally would strike back and they would not care even if the perpetrator would say he is mentally troubled for life.

You see, whenever my episode suddenly kicks in from out of nowhere, I don't realize the words and actions that I've done since i'm obviously blinded by my own anger. That's one of the main traits of people who have this disorder.

Anyways, over 400,000 doses of vaccines from AstraZeneca will finally arrive here tomorrow.

We've got a nice amount of Sputnik Vs in here lended from thr Mother Russia, but vaccination hasn't started yet I think. And I seriously hope they don't steal the trucks with the vaccines

@Count Adramélekh Sear

Well, atleast you admitted your mistakes and apologized for them, that's a good thing. Also sorry if I attacked/offended you in any way on my earlier message.

My county must be doing something right despite not having a mask mandate. As of yesterday we only have 6 active cases despite being within spitting distance of major metro areas. Our highest point was just after Thanksgiving when we had over 100 active. It's been dropping ever since then.

@lonewolf
Utah's averages have been dropping recently, too. We're in the triple digits for daily new cases as opposed to a month ago when they were still in the quadruple digits.

@Count Adramélekh Sear
At least you didn't post it on Twatter. They'd crucify you there.

@Count Adramélekh Sear
Good to hear you're getting vaccines now. I don't know which one I'll be getting but general availability is still a few months off for me.

More good news from my state: St. Francis Hospital in Topeka has zero Corona inpatients for first time in almost a year.

And the capitol's other hospital (Stormont Vail) only has 16.

Some mostly-good news in Malaysia:

1. The government has mentioned that you cannot buy vaccines from Shopee, a kind of Ebay or Amazon used in Malaysia. They can only be gained in hospitals, clinics, or government sites.

2. The government has assured that all available vaccines — Pfizer, AstraZenaca (and perhaps Sinovac too) — are approved because both of them are safe.

3. In spite of 2,000s of cases in the past two days, today's cases have dropped to 1,680.

4. Enouraged by the loosening restrictions, more people are coming out to parks, zoos, shopping malls, and even cinemas. While the shopowners expect much-needed income, and the government looks forward to lower and lower cases in several states for the coming months, I hope this will not be like the US where a new wave might be coming …

@HorsesandMuchMOAR
Doesn't look like it, while cases here are still declining….

In Austria, fights have been breaking out between anti-maskers and left-wingers (who are after far-right hooligans within the protests). The anti-maskers claim that the Austrian government is too restrictive in its lockdown, making it bad for families and businesses.

If the anti-maskers get their way, will it lead to more infections in Austria? I don't trust anti-maskers for contributing to more infections in the name of their "freedom".

@HorsesandMuchMOAR
Ironically enough, most left-wingers are guilty of doing the exact same things they accuse anti-maskers of doing (EX: protesting, gathering in large crowds, etc.). Seems a bit hypocritical if you ask me.

@DragonBoi471

So are you supporting anti-maskers? I don't, because they might lead to more infections.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR
As much as I hate anti-maskers, they do have a point. Lockdowns especially for weeks wouldn't do any good than it already had before. Yes, I agree that we need to protect ourselves at all costs, but lockdowns will make it worse both physically and mentally.
