Since it was revealed by the gooberment that we have been visited by aliens, it only goes to prove that the C-19 vaccines are only a flavor enhancements for their dining pleasure.

This also fundamentally misses the way the system works. Hospitals don't get paid for a diagnosis, they get paid based on work done. Sometimes that's tests, sometimes it's care. But regardless, a covid diagnosis is likely to result in more billing - how big are the bills associated with a cancer patient? why aren't people  screaming about fake diagnosis there?

The data from Australia is that there was no measurable effect on suicide rate. That surprised a lot of people. It also doesn't mean that covid didn't have an effect - maybe different people were dying. Some stressed by the disease but some not as stressed by not having to go into the office.

It is bullshit to compare the suicide and overdose rate without presenting the variability in baseline rate in previous years. It is also bullshit to make the comparison to covid deaths without considering that those mitigation measures you are blaming for the increase in overdoses almost certainly reduced the mortality from covid. If anything the data suggest that the clusterfuck of covid most likely would be much worse than the roughly 180 excess overdose and suicide deaths. And, yes, any death is tragic. So where was the increase in funding for suicide prevention and drug treatment programs to try and mitigate the effect? Didn't hear of anything in the federal spending bill.

Also who knows how much is the stress of measures to fight the pandemic vs. stress from ITS A FUCKING PANDEMIC!

San Francisco Sees More Overdose Deaths Than Covid Deaths in 2020

Data show alarming trends in drug overdoses and suicide as people—especially young people who are least at risk from COVID-19—are forcibly cut off from friends, families, and communities.

Question:  Will the SARS-CoV-2 UK variant and Republic of South Africa variant scare folks silly into behaving better?

In passing I would not be surprised if the variant is already circulating in North America. 
Evolution should unfold the same here as it does elsewhere.  I don't think it is a big deal but if it scares people into behaving more responsibly then it is a good thing.

Going through Rite Aid's earnings call this week, comment from their CEO:

"And we anticipate there's going to be a COVID vaccine forever probably because if not this mutation, possibly more mutations. So we look at this as both a short-term opportunity to help the country but a longer-term opportunity for Rite Aid."
Here is a sobering thought. If flu typically kills 50,000 per year in the U.S. even with vaccines, and if Covid-19 is 4 to 10 times more deadly than flu, then we might expect 200,000 to 500,000 deaths per year even with these new vaccines.  People talk about how this disease might become endemic but I haven't seen anyone spell out what it really means: Social distancing forever. Get used to it.

We had our first customer call and advise us that he has tested positive shortly after visiting our other location.  This news broke today.

Had to happen sooner or later.  Hard to say what the next step is going to be.  I'll be learning more on Saturday when I go back in after Christmas.
