2,000 deaths a day and it's over ??????....

Can't tell. None of your googleusercontent links ever work. Not here and not at ratzkep. Your links to photos.google.com/share work provided you open them in a new tab.

If you want to share photos you have uploaded to the net I suggest you open a free account with https://postimages.org and do it from there. As easy to use as Photobucket despite providing more options. That's what I've used since they went into self-destruct mode.



The only possible downside is that it might do a Photobucket one day, but Google has shut free services down too without a care in the world.

Um I link to several forums including RatSkep without issue from Google Photos.All those travel and wildlife photos are google based.

Photo bucket is POS.
Are you saying you can't see the above?
BTW we pay for hosting with Google.

The rose glasses was just a web link. Not all work here.
Software upgrade would be nice to drop images etc.

wishful thinking in the US

That statement comes despite the fact that the rate of death is still elevated, with an average of nearly 1,700 people dying in the U.S. each day. On Wednesday, more than 2,100 deaths were reported across the country, according to a Reuters tally.

White House outlines plan for next phase of pandemic, with U.S. still averaging 1,700 COVID deaths per day

[Sean Hayden]

No, it's not wishful thinking. We have no covid restrictions; and while I'll still put on a mask at a crowded indoor event, I can't overstate how glad I am for myself and family to see covid receding.

[macdoc]

It's wishful thinking if you think it is receding .... places are getting cases and death tolls higher than they have ever been.
We are ALL tired of the fucking pernicious bug but it doesn't care ....it just goes on chewing through willing hosts.

Is a mask such a big ask>

[Sean Hayden]

It's not really chewing through here thankfully.

Yep, it's not showing.

[Tero]

The top link worked. You have your own grand canyon?

The truth about the pandemic lies somewhere between "it's almost gone away, hooray!" and "it's still an ongoing catastrophe".

It would be wrong to downplay the continuing deaths and infections, plus the trauma from long covid, but at the same time, immunity levels in most populations (via vaccination or recovered infections) are growing, treatment options are increasing and communities are finding ways to live (with some caution) with covid.

[laklak]

Our case fatality rate is 1.2%, our overall fatality rate for the entire population is 0.3%. Yeah it's awful but if the worst pandemic in like EVAR has a 99.7% survival rate one might be forgiven for wondering what the point of continued Draconian regulations actually is. We haven't had any mandates for well over a year. California took a different approach, with some of the more stringent (and ongoing) regulations and mandates. Their case fatality numbers are 1.0%, and their overall fatality rate is 0.2%. So mandates seem to have some effect, but we also have a larger percentage of old farts like me who croak more frequently.

So if people are really worried about masks they can move to California (which is losing population). If they're not they can move to the South (which they are, in droves).
