Was reading this post and was absolutely terrified. It's gonna be bad.

Take away is that current lock downs are basically useless against the new strain as it has mutated enough to be more transmissible thru/around mask. Vaccines are still likely to work, and its not more deadly (seems like), but just going to blow thru our preventive measures like nothing.

Reposting because the first post didn't get enough traction and I need people to commiserate with me. Pulled out the money shot image, because I know libs don't read .

    It sure is nice I'll have a baby in the NICU for a month and it's even nicer that the only entrance is through the emergency lobby. Sleeping with a mask on in the hospital tonight... I'm sure we won't all three catch some wild mutated covid strain or anything

      Friend of mine is like 6 months pregnant. Tough times, for sure. Solidarity and good luck.
