Is anybody still following the 5 day period?

Hey look, mass vaccinations work.

So if you have Covid, but don't get a fever, does it even matter? That was my bout last time, and do I even need to mask up?

I assume people won't follow any of this, like they don't now lol.

Let's be honest, these changes are for conscientious individuals and not mouth breathers. I'll follow whatever guidelines they recommend because I'm not a NTP66.

If I got sick I probably would, but that's only because I have the luxury of working from home and, let's be honest, if I have that option I'm 100% going to take it lol.

I assume others would handle it differently based on their own schedules/life.

So it's basically a cold now, which is what everyone was saying would happen (just that mass death was avoidable with common sense prevention methods and voluntary vaccinations....so many needless deaths)

Replace cold with flu, then yeah.

Re: Swift/Kelce. This has been all over my FB feed.

because I'm not a NTP66.

You are not a NTP66. You are the NTP66. Literally.

Swift doesn't even need to endorse Biden now because the hate the Rs have shown her has most likely already driven her fans to vote for him.

Single payer now.

Our work policy still identifies close contacts and we have to test at 5 days and wear a mask for 10 days even if negative.

Currently wearing a mask at work. Tested negative.

I believe we’re at 2 dead after a woman about 40 died in surgery. Sounds like the 9 kids with GSWs will all make full physical recoveries thank fully.

It sounds like one of the victims is a local radio DJ. Bear, is the local coverage giving any insight into what prompted this yet?

And I will say your city brothers and sisters did not exhibit what I would call an overabundance of urgency in vacating the area in the one video I saw. Almost like they didn't realize it was an active shooter situation.

I'd imagine there's some sort of like... social cognitive dissonance at play there. You're at a large gathering born out of a celebration. You here loud noises, there's probably some sort of "must be good --- brain won't even entertain the notion of traumatic horror." Like an elective defense or something. Idk.

I just saw one report that the police are looking at the possibility this was a dispute between attendees and they went all Yosemite Sam. That's....... in the middle of 800 armed cops with that heavy media presence.

Guess the ratio of good guys with guns to bad guys with guns wasn't high enough to prevent this.

There's nothing concrete in the local media. It's hard to believe that somebody would bring an extended mag to a parade as self defense, but bad guys gonna bad guy. It does sound like it was old fashioned testosterone and alcohol fueled dispute that boiled over...whether that's also related to gang activity or not is still unknown.

Being local in this case might actually be worse. Because as of yesterday evening there were three separate crime scenes. One to the west of the stage which you can see in the aerial footage where people are dispersing. But then last night they also had a second area east of the fountain marked off and people in the hotel across the street were told to shelter in their rooms at 3:30 (90 minutes after the original incident), when the police were already giving a briefing starting to say the situation was contained. Word at the time was Crown Center police had exchanged fire in the parking garage there as well.

As for the slow dispersal, pyrotechnics are pretty common for us, so I think people that weren't in the immediate vicinity figured it was just fireworks. So you've got a central core of less than 100 people that knew they were gunshots scattering, and the rest is just ripples of people leaving half heartedly because they can't believe what's happened and think the other people are overreacting to fireworks. In some small manner, that slow ripple effect was probably helpful to avoid a stampede. Two kids are at CMH that apparently were hurt in the escape, because they're not listed as GSWs. It could have been much more if full panic set in. Or maybe the simpler explanation is that everybody was hammered and had slow reactions

I didn't see a video of slow dispersal. I did see a video of a bunch of people tackling the shooter like **** bosses.

...is it?

WTAE would lead with this story every day well into April. Glad it didn't happen here. I think they're still talking about that house that blew up in Plum.

Right, but even in that video you see a lot of people just standing there clueless.

Here's the video looking down on the shooting from buildings to the west of the station. Warning, while it's so grainy and far away you can't see anything disturbing, your brain can fill in the details.
