Clown World picture thread

Not adding screen grabs this time :D one guy in my group of friends went for the fourth shot to be extra-protected. Another is going for it but hopes he can choose bivalent. Another got the 4th with his flu shot and brought his 5 year old for the first shot today.
His grandma is now in a care home due to her aging and while its very nice where she can have painting and music activities, residents must have the fourth shot, saying it'll keep lessening severity as the home had multiple cases of covid this month : /

Meanwhile, in Oceania...
 
Right. Because it's the "big antivax" that gave us lockdowns. "Big antivax" that made us wear masks. "Big antivax" that took out ads on TV and on radio. "Big antivax" that bought out celebrities and media personalities to push their agenda. "Big antivax" that made billions of dollars in profit selling their antivax doses. RIGHT???

This is from Google maps photo from ten months ago but I still see pedestrians like this in Vancouver and Surrey, and the occasional solo mask driver.
A really weird one was yesterday at the swimming pool, a lady gets in with a pool floatie noodle, wearing a mask on the face and kept it on as she floated around. I never saw if she got her head in the water at all.

How white and affluent drivers are polluting the air breathed by L.A.’s people of color

In Los Angeles, the less you drive, the more you're exposed to toxic fumes, according to a new study.

Still can't post pictures at this time but lol that headline. And other digs in that article

Overall, though, the map shows how residents of whiter, wealthier communities disproportionately drive to work through lower-income Latino and Black neighborhoods, spewing pollution. Residents of those neighborhoods can’t do much about it.


“If you want to be exposed to less pollution, you can’t be the change you want to see in the world,” Boeing said. “It’s up to everybody else who is taking advantage of public infrastructure and releasing tailpipe emissions.”

Boeing was careful to note that the study doesn’t conclusively prove that patterns in how Angelenos get to work are solely responsible for different levels of air pollution in different communities. Majority-white Westside neighborhoods, for instance, could also be benefiting from ocean breezes that push pollution into predominantly Black and Latino areas, he said.

But the researchers’ close examination of driving patterns, commute distances and pollution — which involved a combination of data analysis and modeling — painted a clear picture of environmental injustice, Boeing said. In addition to the link between air quality and miles driven, his team found that non-white communities face higher pollution levels across the board.


So what do solutions look like? Getting more people into electric cars is definitely one of them.
