The regular folks are going to be in for a rude awakening when they going to have to send their kids to schools when a vaccine-resistant strain comes out. Writing is on the wall on how all this will play out and the new reality. :smh: Schools must remain open so parents can work and pay taxes.
Yep and then they are going to point fingers at other people. :smh:
 
Kid Rock Cancels Shows As COVID-19 Hits Band After Concert At Sturgis Rally

He failed to "own the libs" after all with what was supposed to be a coronavirus-defying Sturgis performance, smirked one Twitter critic.



An angry Kid Rock canceled two concerts in Texas over the weekend after more than half of his band contracted COVID-19 following a jam-packed performance earlier this month during the motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, that has been linked to almost 200 infections.

“I am pissed,” Kid Rock — whose real name is Bob Ritchie — tweeted Thursday. “Over half the band has fucking covid (not me), and before u shit for brains bloggers and media trolls run your mouths, many of them, like me, have been vaccinated.”


Band members’ COVID-19 cases, including the vaccination breakthroughs, could be linked to their performance early this month in Sturgis where some 700,000 bikers gathered to show off, party and pack concerts. Masks, social distancing and vaccinations were not required.

Kid Rock’s concert was part of a lineup of performances organized by the rally. It was two days after the Aug. 6-15 biker festival began.


The rally contributed to an already growing rate of coronavirus cases in the state. South Dakota COVID-19 cases soared 456% from the start of the rally to last week, CBS News reported.

Meade County, where Sturgis is located, has become “red-hot” with new cases, reaching a per capita rate similar to the hardest-hit Southern states, according to The Associated Press. The county reported the highest rate of cases in the state over the last two weeks, according to Johns Hopkins researchers.

But the bikers also carried cases back to their communities, with 178 cases in five states so far linked to the event, the AP reported.

Conservative GOP South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem endorsed the event, even participating in a rally charity ride. Her support for the bash was all about “personal choices,” she told Fox News.

But infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci warned of the potentially deadly health consequences of the rally.

“It’s understandable that people want to do the ... things they want to do; they want their freedom to do that,” Fauci said in the early days of the event. “But there comes a time when you’re dealing with a public health crisis that could involve you, your family and everyone else that ... supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do.”

Followers on Twitter didn’t cut Kid Rock a whole lot of slack.

Update on my university.

These college kids are out of pocket, even more so, the school admin are milking as much money as possible.

I have students coming to class with Covid. I say this because they contact me the next day talking about they just received a positive test. Our campus has already stopped outside visitation to dorms, halted all dine-in eating (take out only), and limiting gym use. What they haven’t done was cancel or limit any seating to these upcoming football games.

Out of 90 students I am teaching, about 20 have tested positive for Covid since the semester started on the 18th.

This shit is really fucking with me mentally. I’m glad I am vaccinated, but being around these students in closed spaces sucks. However, I have been enjoying teaching them. Wild times we are in.

I feel like the vaccine is protecting me. Lots of students on campus is not vaccinated.

Florida changed its COVID-19 data, creating an ‘artificial decline’ in recent deaths

As the delta variant spreads through Florida, data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest this could be the most serious and deadly surge in COVID-19 infections since the beginning of the pandemic.

As cases ballooned in August, however, the Florida Department of Health changed the way it reported death data to the CDC, giving the appearance of a pandemic in decline, an analysis of Florida data by the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald found.

On Monday, Florida death data would have shown an average of 262 daily deaths reported to the CDC over the previous week had the health department used its former reporting system, the Herald analysis showed. Instead, the Monday update from Florida showed just 46 “new deaths” per day over the previous seven days.

The dramatic difference is due to a small change in the fine print. Until three weeks ago, data collected by DOH and published on the CDC website counted deaths by the date they were recorded — a common method for producing daily stats used by most states. On Aug. 10, Florida switched its methodology and, along with just a handful of other states, began to tally new deaths by the date the person died.

If you chart deaths by Florida’s new method, based on date of death, it will generally appear — even during a spike like the present — that deaths are on a recent downslope. That’s because it takes time for deaths to be evaluated and death certificates processed. When those deaths finally are tallied, they are assigned to the actual date of death — creating a spike where there once existed a downslope and moving the downslope forward in time.

Shivani Patel, a social epidemiologist and assistant professor at Emory University called the move “extremely problematic,” especially since it came without warning or explanation during a rise in cases.

Patel said Florida death data now show an “artificial decline” in recent deaths and without an explanation or context, and “it would look like we are doing better than we are.”
