When there are 250k at the Indy500 this May that will be a pretty visible declaration that people are through with it.

A friend of mine got his second shot on Sunday night. His microwave turned on when he yawned.

Dammit Bill, you need to make sure that doesn't happen until 4-6 weeks post-shot! Otherwise people will know they're microchipped!

This weekend has reminded me how much I really don't like people and crowds.

The thing that is going to kill me the rest of the year is that SO many people have spent the last year just absolutely jonesin' for travel and events, which means that travel costs are going to be through the roof and EVERYWHERE will be crowded.

I might end up hating that even more than lockdown.


For the past month every outing I've had in San Diego County - downtown, the yacht clubs - has been packed. Bars, beaches, restaurants. Nobody distancing, plenty not wearing masks. Headlines have County officials across Southern California warning of another surge, but you know what? To the crowds running around, it's not that they don't believe in the scientific cautioning of quarantining or flattening the curve. It's that they are no longer interested in following the precautions. They've spent a year succumbing to the mandates and, as far as they see, have paid their dues after being cooped up since our initial economic shutdown this time last year. They've followed and even promoted the masks, distancing, and carry-out only and yet since then half a million Americans died anyway.

Yeah, overall Austin is still pretty masked up and bars and restaurants are still working to keep proximity down, but I'm seeing some evidence of quarantine/mask fatigue.  As you say, it's not that they don't understand or believe in the data behind it, they just don't care anymore.

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday announced a three-week nationwide school closure and a month-long domestic travel ban, as the rapid spread of the virus ramped up pressure on hospitals.

In a televised address to the nation, Macron said efforts are needed as “the epidemic is accelerating.”

“We’re going to close nursery, elementary and high schools for three weeks,” he said, adding that a nationwide 7 p.m.- 6 a.m. curfew will be kept in place.

“If we stay united in the coming weeks ... then we will see light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.

Macron said restrictions already applying in the Paris region and others parts of north and eastern France will be extended to the whole country, for at least one month. Under these restrictions, people are allowed to go outside for leisure, but within a 10-kilometer (6 miles) radius from their homes — and without gathering. Also most non-essential shops are closed down.

Got my first shot today

Also, between my I telephone and a Fitbit watch, how much more is a microchip really going to be able to track me? Like, we microchip dogs because they won’t carry cell phones

Same.     No early early early early effects effects effects yet yet yet.
