Collision ResistanceNew Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn
travelerWhy are we still talking about Covid? Shouldn’t we all have a good deal of immunity against it?
library_napperWe dont have immunity, that’s the point. read the article.
With so much vaccination, how does people don’t have immunity yet?
Even if they were not vaccinated for a while, there’s always a percentage of immunity. The virus itself is not that deadly as well.
Did you read the article?
I did, hence i said:

Sorry, but I’m not up to the fearmongering campaigns once again. The first response to Covid was totally out of measure in my opinion and they’re retrying it again.

Inconveniencing boomers consuming their sit-in restaurant treats until they started blockading hospitals and breaking into government buildings until those inconveniences were rolled back was “out of measure?”
I haven’t been around Lemmy for a few weeks and today is my first time seeing anyone from the Hexbear instance. I like you people.
Iraglassceiling [she/her]Death is not the only negative outcome from Covid infection. When you consider the literature on Covid causing grey matter loss, prion disease, chronic vasculitis, cardiac disease, autoimmune disease, etc, you could argue death is actually one of the preferred outcomes.
Immunity isn’t an on/off switch and the virus is mutating to escape immune detection. It seems like you do not have a solid grasp on the kinetics of vaccine and viral immunity, is there a question I can answer for you or would you like some resources that might help improve your comprehension?
ThenThreeMoreprion disease,
Jesus. Please tell me that’s an extremely rare result. Because that is genuinely fucking terrifying.

Yeah it’s fully terrifying.
I’m extra freaked that now Covid is in endemic the deer populations because Cervid Wasting Disease is also endemic and I’m afraid they will interact somehow…
Potential Prion Involvement in Long COVID-19 Neuropathology, Including Behavior
Prion’ is a term used to describe a protein infectious particle responsible for several neurodegenerative diseases in mammals, e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The novelty is that it is protein based infectious agent not involving a nucleic acid ...
Welp, guess masks are forever now between wildfire smoke and spontaneous prion generation risk. Jfc
What’s really cool is that prion disease incubation period can be years 🙃
Ah fuck haha lol ;_;

silent_water [she/her]this is fucking terrifying
Frank [he/him, he/him]Jesus fuck. : |
I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that.
If you really want to scare yourself go read about FIP, which is what happens to cats when they get repeatedly infected with coronavirus.
on8wingedangel [he/him]Doing nothing was too much for you?
What? 7 million people died from COVID-19. How many more would it have been without all the safety measures?
Bruh.
The curse of successful mitigation is skeptics will then say afterwards that ‘X was no big deal, look how few people died’
God gave you a brain, please use it
I blame the combination of how over-hyped the (real) issue of Y2K was combined with how successfully we handled it (partly because everyone was so worked up about it) leading to the (common issue for IT professionals) take away of “well nothing went wrong, why did we put all that effort into trying to stop something going wrong?” for no small part of why people weren’t as willing to try to stop/minimise Covid as they otherwise might have been (of course it was always going to be a harder sell as Y2K mostly required from the general public that they don’t have a tantrum about organisations paying professionals to fix the problem directly whereas Covid required the general public to follow the advice of the professionals in taking action in their own lives.)
When we don’t put up with any “mitigations” this time, and nothing happens, you doomers will again be proven wrong. You still won’t admit it though
We all knew you had already drawn your conclusion that this was “fearmongering” before seeing any facts.
No one is going to logic you out of a position you didn’t use logic to get into in the first place.
tripartitegraph [comrade/them]I know a 25 year old who had a stroke last month because of covid complications. Sure, not deadly but… I don’t want to have a stroke either
Because immunity varies by disease.
Chicken pox? Pretty much one and done. COVID? Falls off rapidly after 3 months, whether you catch it or get the vaccine
Plus, every mutation is a dice roll on how much existing immunity will apply. It could be exactly the same as the last strain, or the old immunity might not help at all
That’s not how any of the COVID vaccines were reported to work. No such thing as total immunity.
The virus is deadly depending on what conditions are met (underlying risk factors, etc.). Not all of those conditions are obvious or well-studied, so it always seemed to me like a lottery who gets killed by the virus.
Furthermore, I don’t believe the article is fearmongering. As I said in a separate comment, it’s more like “hey, there might be a bit of an outbreak in some places this flu season, so keep some N95s on hand just in case numbers go up.” I HIGHLY doubt we would see another shutdown.
