sure and we require them to have a pass (you might know it as driving license) to mitigate the loss.
If you do not think that driving license counts, from the health angle, people with visual impairments are required to wear glasses (or have corrective surgery) to drive.
Sure, we make all sorts of trade offs. The other poster is arguing that people should people able to choose for themselves whether they risk infection, which isn't the point of these passes, they are a community health measure.
> since the vaccine is widely available for all...
They sure as fuck aren't. There's three countries in the world where the percentage of fully vaccinated is over 50% (two of which have <1m people, and the third one being Israel that doesn't even pretend to count Palestinians). In France that number is 14%. In my country we haven't even reached 1%.
> If the vaccine works, why in the world do you care who doesn't want to take it?
Because there are millions of people that can't receive one due to the weaker immune system, which is where herd immunity is supposed to kick in.
> People sick with corona going to events will clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous.
People with any kind of cold symptoms going out and mingling also clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous. Yet, we lived in a world where people did that routinely and it was left up to parents to protect their children from influenza, something far deadlier than Covid19 for them.
Also, destroying economies, livelihoods, preventing socialization, travel will also clearly cause statistical deaths, it's not ambiguous.
But, I guess, Covid19 means the saint class never owning up to their mistakes.
Beatings will continue until morale improves, I guess.
Sort of. The "Patriot" Right and the "Progressive" Left are less pro-Israel than the mainstream Republicans and Democrats that cater to the donor class (and Republicans who cater to the Armageddon-seeking class.)
Because it's not all about the mortality rates. Just because the bug doesn't literally end your life doesn't mean you won't be left with long term (expensive) complications or handicaps, that could very well kill you years after you get over the virus.
Per the CDC [1]:
>Among patients with COVID-19, 76.8% had respiratory complications, including pneumonia (70.1%), respiratory failure (46.5%), and ARDS (9.3%). Nonrespiratory complications were frequent, including renal (39.6%), cardiovascular (13.1%), hematologic (6.2%), and neurologic complications (4.1%), as well as sepsis (24.9%) and bacteremia (4.7%); 24.1% of COVID-19 patients had complications involving three or more organ systems. Among COVID-19 patients, nine complications were more prevalent among racial and ethnic minority patients, including respiratory, neurologic, and renal complications, even after adjustment for age and underlying medical conditions.
This isn't the fucking flu, and at this point, it is intentionally dishonest to downplay the effects of the virus.
That’s hospitalized patients, which are a small fraction of all patients that get Covid.
And the CDC literally has a webpage that calls out all the similarities between the flu and COVID-19. Including the risk of long term complications from the flu.
We're all aware of the mortality rate, but not everyone finds sacrificing hundreds of thousands of sick and elderly to be viable just because the denominator is sufficiently large.
It's the same reason we don't tell wheelchair users to "just stay home" if they can't deal with a world that only has stairs.
We're trying to be a more advanced civilization with structures to ensure quality of life for as many as possible, not only the young and healthy. We're evolving beyond the raw survival of the fittest that determined who lived and who died when we were essentially animals.
Many of us spend most of our lives healthy enough not to need help, but either we care that others do, or else we selfishly recognize that we could find ourselves needing help someday for unexpected reasons outside our control. So it's in our best interest to invest in these social structures.
We all die. Let that idea sink in. Even you will one day cease to live and the important thing won’t be the extra year or two you lived by sapping the prosperity of future generations. Life isn’t worth extending at all costs.
I'm young and healthy myself, and feel the temptation of that mindset on a base emotional level.
But I'm also smart enough to realize that someday I might be 62 and benefit from living in a society that doesn't give up on addressing a pandemic that can be mitigated by something as simple as wearing masks. Should ideology not get in the way.
I could have 20 quality years of life ahead of me before attempts to keep me alive become needlessly heroic.
Karabiner Elements is user for a more complex modifier [1]. I use Karabiner to remap Caps Lock to hyper (cmd+ctrl+option) or just esc when pressed alone.
Touchbar can be useful especially with apps like Pock to save some screen real estate. The only thing that they should do is to bring back ESC key and maybe allow for switching numbers row to F-keys with Fn. That would allow for rich media control and whatever you want on touchbar and still have proper, tactile functionality of keys.
I recently switched to using a metronom when I play live with my band and it changed everything.
When you play live, you are always rushing a little bit, the louder you play, the faster you play.
Now when we play according to our own tempo from our recordings, I really have to concentrate not to start rushing again - but it is so worth it, everything sounds much better in a precise way.
