Mistaken Frisbee posted:It's always been bizarre to me that Republican lawmakers are anti-vaxx or at least neutral on vaccines in Texas as a given. In Austin, it's not a partisan issue...I see all kinds of folks who go anti-vaxx. But I was raised in an extremely pro-vaccine Republican family and got told stories about people my Mom knew with polio in the 1950s. Like, if my Grandma had been lucid in the 2000s and 2010s, she probably would've lost her poo poo at the anti-vaxx movement. She got the vaccine program started in her local health department. So the animosity towards any Republicans in txlege who are pro-vaccines by other Republicans is surreal. There are a lot of issues that seem like they should be entirely nonpolitical and based on unchallenged facts, but the Republicans have come out against them. They built their way up to it by being anti-science on evolution and global warming, and it dovetails nicely with the opposition they developed to healthcare as a social good. It doesn't directly endanger the profit of the big businesses they're trying to court, and insane conspiracy theorists are an important part of the current Republican base. And this bizarre state of things is sort of a recent development in the last 10 years after the previously dominant factions within the party lost steam after W's abysmal failures left the party shattered and confused until the more radical and crazy and more explicitly racist factions took control, with the survivors outside those factions left to frantically pander to the new base that they still only vaguely understand. And the confusing sub-party machinations are the natural result of the US's ironclad two-party system, because that's so many people under one umbrella that it's hard for a party to keep a coherent platform, and if anyone wants to add something new to the platform, they need to do some kind of weird subversive takeover from within.

Just a reminder to everyone, and let me start this by saying that this is my own experience at the hospital I work at so I don't know if other hospitals are following the same plan (I'm sure they are though, as this has to be distributor-based), but we are currently receiving ALL our major PPE supplies on monthly allocation base. If we use our supplies before the next month, and if we don't have a alternate source of supply, tough poo poo! Before we restricted the supplies to call-down requests, we used a standard month's worth of N95 masks in 10 days (in March). Now we don't stock ANY masks or gowns in standard supply rooms, as I said they are by request only and each delivery is recorded and noted by our Director who delivers daily supply notes to his superior to keep track of total supply use at every hospital within our network. Bouffant/surgeon caps and shoe/boot covers are issued out one box per floor, again, normally each supply room is stocked with them. Cleaning supplies are a whole other subject. Lysol? I haven't seen a single can of that since March. Alchol-based wipes and germicidal bleach wipes? We get calls from the ICUs and the ER (ER stocks EIGHTEEN bottles of total wipes on the daily) regularly for 5 to 6 bottles a call -- we can deliver ONE bottle IF we are lucky to have a couple on a shelf to last a day. This was before the easing of restrictions last Friday. Buckle up boys and girls! BetterToRuleInHell fucked around with this message at 19:07 on May 5, 2020 |

This one has a more damning quote https://twitter.com/OliviaMesser/status/1257761195899133953 quote:“Listen, the fact of the matter is pretty much every scientific and medical report shows that whenever you have a reopening—whether you want to call it a reopening of businesses or of just a reopening of society—in the aftermath of something like this, it actually will lead to an increase and spread. It’s almost ipso facto.”

PostNouveau posted:This one has a more damning quote Help me understand because I don't get why this is supposed to be damning Bending the curve meant that you slowed it down so the hospitals weren't overwhelmed. Whenever you reopened, whether it was May or December or some time in 2021, you were definitionally going to see an uptick in cases because you didn't actually reduce the total number that were going to happen, you just spread them out over a longer period of time. I'm not saying right now is the time to reopen but isn't Abbott totally correct here? The important thing is that when you do reopen, that the uptick isn't so big it overwhelms the hospital system like you were trying to prevent in the first place. e: to be clear that's my understanding of how bending the curve etc was supposed to work so if that's wrong please explain fast cars loose anus fucked around with this message at 00:58 on May 6, 2020 |

fast cars loose anus posted:Help me understand because I don't get why this is supposed to be damning The bolded part is the problem. We don't have the testing and contract tracing infrastructure in place to detect upticks before they become waves and overwhelm the hospital system. We're going off of second-order data, such as number of hospitalizations, but those tend to be lagging indicators, e.g. by the time you notice an uptick in hospitalizations, even if you lock things down fully then and there, it will be too late. Another way to think about this is that just because the curve has been bent does not mean it can't get "un-bent". For it to remain bent, things need to remain shut down. The other thing people haven't fully grasped yet is that once you reopen things, it will be much, much harder, both economically and politically, to shut them down again a few months later. A lot of states, including Texas, will understand this sometime between July and September.

It also doesn't matter to the state government if people die so long as the survivors aren't angered enough to vote in a way that would shift the political balance of power. Which I guess seems to be the republican attitude to any disaster.

TropicalCoke posted:25 percent capacity is like during a week day afternoon for a gym. Not sure how they pull this off. I continue to be really unclear what exactly the "capacity" is referring to. If it is referring to fire code capacity the whole thing is even more of a joke. What is especially frustrating is that the incubation time for the disease is such that we really need to wait the better part of a month to see the effects of any particular change. We have almost zero way to know what effect allowing restaurants to open their dining areas has had but gently caress that full speed ahead!

To be honest I'm not even sure mine will open the child center (the part I actually work in) at that capacity but they might and limit it to like a couple dozen kids. Let me tell you if you think enforcing social distancing is hard for ornery adult Texans, e: actually I'm glad I work in the child center though because I'm used to deep cleaning stuff; I'm sure the trainers and all those others who work there will react fine when they're told "no you can't just rely on ops to do it any more, you have to clean your surfaces after every single client uses them" fast cars loose anus fucked around with this message at 04:17 on May 6, 2020 |

What's the over/under on bars opening 5/18? Wasn't that the day? Like Shifty Pony said, we haven't even see what effects the first bit had. And with Trump being like "gently caress it, we're on to something else" and Abbott saying that he knows people will die but who cares about them... I mean, it's getting real weird and we're only like 50 days in. I might be an alarmist, but I'm fully ready to spend the rest of the year at home.
