{COVID-19} Pandemic Vomit VI

[Dimmauk]

FL Governor DeSantis has signed an executive order declaring FL is no longer in a state of emergency from COVID-19 and limited emergency measures as well as barring the “COVID-19 passport”.

He really is going for Trump Part 2.

I'm sure when Florida becomes New India, they will blame Fauci

If the UK strain is the prevalent strain in America, can we call it the Cockney Covid?

Florida hasn't had any state mandated restrictions in almost a year. They're going to have to find another way to fuck things up. Thankfully, it's Florida, so they have plenty.

Unfortunately instead of thankfully maybe? Guess it depends on the outcome you want.

Florida has the highest daily average new case rate per 100k of any of the sunbelt states, but nowhere is going to "go full India" because every state has at least a quarter of their population (mostly older people) fully vaccinated and another 20ish+% on the way.

Say it louder for the doomers that think the vaccine is days away from being rendered completely ineffective by some quintuple X-Men mutant super strain

I mean

It could happen

Just doesn't feel like the most likely outcome

[Tymon]

Yellowstone could also erupt and kill 80% of the US before we reach herd immunity.

Honestly that would be a far more interesting result, aside from the part where I die horribly

[Ayn]

COVID hops to alligators, but instead of making them sick, it grants them hyper intelligence and they organize a gator uprising.

I mean.

It could happen. It's Florida.

Could the gators really do much worse?

we certainly won't go full India but the epidemiology lads now believe herd immunity prolly ain't touching down and covid will be a fixture in our lives for the foreseeable future

Yeah

I mean, we have Measles outbreaks somewhere every year too, but it's mostly "who care".

[archibaldcrane]

For example:

And if we get the vaccine approved for kids we can even further cut into the unvaxxed population. Hopefully it'll be approved for 12+ year olds shortly - been over 3 weeks now since Pfizer requested approval.

Israel is one of the most insulated communities on earth p moronic idea to extrapolate their experience to ours

additionally, as the man says,

[Andalusian girls]

additionally roughly 91% of the total U.S. population is vaccinated against measles so ya if we hit that vaccination rate and Covid stops mutating it'll be a big who cares

[archibaldcrane]

Won't need to get that high, Measles is WAY more transmissible than COVID is (barring unforeseen new mutants)
