zackster most of the time I look back on my US college undergrad education, it just hurts thinking about what a monumental waste of money it was. However, the side hustle phd in drug consumption and fist pumping power prog was crucial in my development.

It’s a shitty system, but now I find myself complaining about the masters/mba glass ceiling in corporates.

hugopal yeah it’s beginning to feel like omicron is some click baity scaremongering by the media. At the same time, after seeing what happened in India this April, I think it’s better to be safe than sorry. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario for the politicians.

hugopal It makes little sense, they should be letting Omicron take over.

Up there with some of the most idiotic shite ever written on this board. Savage ignorance.

    Will anti vaxers ultimately mean there are no anti vaxers?

      I could not give a single shit. I understood some hesitancy in some groups initially, trust wasn’t there, but it’s been a year since my first jab and my head hasn’t fallen off.

        LT42 So is there no science towards herd immunity for this much milder variant?

          Get aload of Donal Trump over here.

            Mask mandates across the board reinstituted for all nine Bay Area Counties. This should be a rough few weeks but we’ll get through it. The vaccines are holding up very well but the positive cases are through the fucking roof. We might top 1,000 a day just in San Francisco.

            As for herd immunity, not happening.

            People in the U.K. finally beginning to twig that Onicrom may be the end of severe covid.. remember this projection of a range of deaths of 25k-75k by the end of April…. A little more than 2 weeks ago… these numbers looked stupid then and even more stupid now..

              Still reporting cases over admissions as well, just pick the higher number it’s more dramatic!

                Hursty even admissions don’t tell the real story because so many of them turn out to be mild… even in London, which is so ahead of elsewhere in the U.K., occupancy of ventilated beds has hardly moved

                Only goes to show how wrong SAGE were/are.

                Sajid Javid especially can go and do one with his comments about big spike in deaths….

                  Jules72 and Sir Keir wouldn’t have lifted restrictions in July and would have imposed a pre Christmas lockdown.

                    Get a load of Captain Hindsight here - who only a couple of weeks ago was still was happy to allow further restrictions, including the closing of nightclubs, “to avoid” the so-called “worst case scenario” - which was always a million miles off being a reality.
