My 6 months of immunity are up, going to get me a shot on Tuesday.
Texas population (29M as of 2019) is higher than NYS (19.45M) and IL (12.9M)
Presented in a more honest statistic (anyone else, feel free to destroy these numbers as they are very much back-of-napkin and using rather old data and @93Flareside's numbers of casualties), That means incidence in Texas is 206.9 per 100k, 277.63 in NY, and 232.6 per 100k in IL.
Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics . Do not be swayed by fear, and remember that politicization is very much a thing. The reason Canada had a tenth of the cases, which was lorded as "Look at those US idiots" is because it has more or less a tenth of the population. Land doesn't get COVID, people do.
CA, with a population of about 39.51M (2019) and 68,000 deaths is at about 172.1 per 100k. Better than everyone, but as you can see, Texas is merely "within range" despite very loud and extremely well publicized idiocy.
Today, on a flight from Prague to Oslo I got to see what happens when a group of (drunk-ish mostly Ukrainian/Russian speaking) passengers don’t bother wearing a face mask and are generally difficult to deal with for the air crew. As the plane was parked at the gate at OSL we were all told to remain seated until further notice, then a group of policemen came in and escorted them out to be fined.
Also, if they are non-EU citizens, that fine may constitute grounds for expulsion from Norway and the Schengen-area with a two-year prohibition on entry, so generally larking about drinking heavy liquor from their tax-free bottles, without facemasks and gleefully ignoring the crew‘s orders to mask up, pack away their liquor bottles, and take their seats wasn’t so smart.
They were given an applause by the rest of the passengers as they were escorted out. I thanked the crew for actually doing something here, because it was like feeding time in a zoo for much of the flight. The crew said that landing in Germany and kicking them off there was actually and option on the table, and they would have done that if they hadn’t eventually calmed down.
I mean, how hard can it be to just do as you’re being told by the crew. It’s not like they are ordering you to murder someone. They were repeatedly being told to put away their bottles, mask up, sit down, and shut up for the #th time. If you have a big problem with following instructions from the crew and wearing a face mask, then don’t bother flying, it’s not as if they didn’t know they were supposed to wear a mask.I was next to a Polish gentleman on my flight to FRA for ringmeet. This guy also struggled to keep a mask on and the German flight attendant wasn't having it. The 3rd time he got told off, as she was walking away she was muttering "he thinks it's funny."

Oh, but when those were introduced (at least for cars) a lot of people sure did!nobody gets up in arms about the seat belt.
For a lot of people, the point is to do the opposite of what somebody else tells them, no matter the situation.I mean, how hard can it be to just do as you’re being told by the crew.
?This is some AMAZING mental gymnastics.

I dont know even before Covid people lose alot of mental powers in airports and airplanes (magnets in aircraft cause cognitive loss?)I mean, how hard can it be to just do as you’re being told by the crew.

Goes to @NecroJoe was sharing in that article. I dont know if we can figure out how to get the message to every psychological archetype so maybe some of them will have to die! Oh what's this over here? Forbidden Vaccine DONT TOUCH THE VACCINE! soooo bad look at this naughty vaccine.For a lot of people, the point is to do the opposite of what somebody else tells them, no matter the situation.
I blame authoritarian parenting. If you were forced to do all kinds of BS as a child (such as eat all your food, I don’t care if you’re full), you’re not going to be very good at distinguishing between sensible and nonsensical instructions.

I must admit that you do occasionally fail to strike me as FinalGear’s happiest and most joyful member, so yes, I can see that getting physically abused by your parents has left a mark.My generation would get the shit kicked out of us for acting up......that tends to stick.
This is no longer on covid but on the way We The People chose.
Yup. Basically, the job is to teach the little buggers that they can have an input as long as they are involved and qualified; exceptions for threats do of course apply.What do I know, I don't have kids, the truth could lie between the helicopter gunship parents and the "let him discover it" ones.
from a crew perspective they're an unnecessary safety risk if not at least somewhat under control, so getting rid of them sooner than later is a reasonable possibility.The crew said that landing in Germany and kicking them off there was actually and option on the table, and they would have done that if they hadn’t eventually calmed down.
I should not have read that.This is some AMAZING mental gymnastics.
