    Information on COVID numbers becomes more and more scarce. A lot of websites have shut down since the election. Its not as important to know the numbers now.

    It may be bad in India but great news at home.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-u-s-vaccination-be-done-we-re-getting-closer


    After three months of vaccination across the U.S., a majority of American adults have gotten shots, and the effort will soon shift from mass inoculation to mop-up.



    As of Saturday, 138.6 million people in the U.S. have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine shot. About 1.3 million more are getting a first dose every day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the rate of new vaccinators is declining, even if were immediately cut in half, it would mean that six weeks from now more than half of the population of the U.S. and its territories will have had a dose.



    Almost all of those who get a first dose are likely to their second, according to one CDC study. On top of that, more than 80% of people age 60 or over — the most vulnerable group — have had a dose and will likewise complete vaccination.

    An interesting story on indoor transmission from MIT. Their main point is that it's the *time* spend indoors with others and not so much the distancing, and also even something like opening a window significantly lowers the risk of transmission. They also note that the incidence of outdoor transmission (with the exception of large gatherings) is very low and masks probably aren't necessary.

    I think the priority shifted from tracking deaths to tracking vaccinations once those started.

    The problem is that those who refuse to get vaccinated may also be those who refuse to follow other guidelines. The vaccinated are safe from the vaccinated and rest are still at risk from the rest.

    That's called "natural selection" and is a part of evolution. It's all good.

    Another term might be “thinning the herd.”

    Tucker says to call cops on children who wear masks and don’t stop calling until cops show up. Claims its child abuse. Can we call cops for adult abuse whenever someone watches his show. I think we have a stronger case.

    He was being facetious and it was abundantly obvious that he was.

    I didn’t see the entire segment. I can see it being trollish. But having heard his statements over the last couple years, it wasn’t abundantly obvious without more context.

    No he wasn't being facetious.....he was being Tucker Carlson. Lol

    He has gradually been leading up to this. He is the right wing Shock Jock.

    I don’t think even he believes some of the crap he says. As long as his audience does.

    Consider all the people who watch his show. All it takes is 1 person to do what he suggests.
    Parents will have cops called on them for protecting their child. Or if the person actually rips a mask off a child, it could traumatize that child, and that person could be arrested for assaulting a child.
    Being facetious or not. Carlson & Fox could face lawsuits if children with masks are attacked.
    It’s dumb on their part for promoting such an idea.


    The truth is out there

    I like him:). He's smart and kind of sexy if bombastic at times. That's not to say I agree with everything he says, but he's a breath of fresh air in a MSM that is clogged with people like Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, Brian Stelter, Jeffrey Toobin, etc.

    Oh, and before someone pops a blood vessel, I'm NOT lumping Lester Holt in with the above.

    He's a breath of fresh lies. And his little puppy dog confused head tilt drives me insane. And laughing at people. He is just an asshole.

    It seems like you pay attention to him and his habits as well, and see things in him you'd want to fix, so... he's kind of an *attractive* a-hole who stands up for himself? I can buy in to that.;):D

    That's different than how I see Stelter or Cuomo, for example, who I think of more as cockroaches without any redeeming features to speak of.
