hey GBS plague thread, I really only post in cspam usually so hello. Anyways, I just got permission to use this design from the original creator so it's on my website now so I thought I'd post it here I wear one of these on the front and back of my shirt and dead center on my mask whenever I leave my house. It's fun, you should try it. I've also been yelling at strangers who aren't wearing masks lately because it makes me feel empowered and righteous and they deserve to be yelled at https://thehotbuttonissue.com/product/wear-a-loving-mask/

Illuminti posted:I'm not quite animation, I've worked in VFX for 15+ years. But I've seen plenty of anim shops. You must've been in some godawful ones. I'm a steadicam op and the idea of going back to work on set right now is a loving joke. Not least of all because I had the 'roni back in march and I still can't breathe properly if I walk around carrying heavy stuff. Here in the UK at least it looks like there are plenty of smaller shoots going on now, but - surprise! - they are all being run by the worst dodgy shithead producers, the guys who couldn't keep a set well organised and safe when there wasn't a global pandemic. Hearing stories of people agreeing to work with 'all covid safety guidelines in place' and they get to set and there's nothing, and, welp, we all signed up to do a job and we won't get paid if we leave so we better just try to get on with it. Idiots. Your loving artist doesn't need a music video right now, 'specially if it's a grime track about how you a bad man, your lyrics sick like a virus or whatever.

Coronavirus is now using speed hacks: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/health/coronavirus-mutation-spread-study/index.html quote:"All the results agreed that the G form was three to nine times more infectious than the D form," he added. "We now had experimental evidence that supported, in part, what Bette was seeing in her analysis of the sequences across the globe -- the G form had a fitness advantage in terms of infectivity."

poverty goat posted:If you're deliberately standing 6 feet away from a bunch of people you should probably still wear a mask. If you are out in the woods or on the open sea it's probably safe to take it off. Literally every nursing home patient in the US who has died of coronavirus could have caught it from an infected surface and we'd never know because that kind of analysis is very difficult and isn't a priority. Even countries that are trying to do this (e.g. China) are adopting a very slapdash approach because if you have an outbreak the bigger concern is finding secondary infections and decontaminating the infection site. Even when they do announce that they believe surface transmission occurred (as they did last month) no one believes them because it's China, and because it's extremely hard to definitively prove that kind of thing anyway. At this time we know next to nothing about the likelihood of surface-based infection, just that intact viral RNA can be found for up to several days on a variety of surface types. Studies have also looked for and found intact viruses on surfaces, but no one knows whether the samples constituted an infectious dose. This thread is getting toyed with by observation bias. It is not correct to say that we know with any certainty that surface transmission has a low or negligible likelihood of occurring. It is correct to say that we don't have observations of surface-based transmission occurring, but this may be because A) we're not even really trying to perform those kinds of measurements and B) it's really hard to determine that kind of cause when infection often isn't noticeable for a week or more. poverty goat posted:Also, if food/surfaces were going to be a big factor we would have been having outbreaks related to groceries and takeout food/containers over the last few months, because I can guarantee you people in kitchens and grocery stores have been working through minor covid symptoms and coughing on the goods because "it's just allergies" and "having to pay for food and rent" and most people never bought into the grocery bleaching hype. Case in point, that would be a really good observation to make if we were doing any significant contact tracing and surface analysis, but we simply aren't. Contact tracing rates are abysmally low across the country. Surface analysis is nonexistent. I'm aware of a handful of cases in Hawaii that were traced back to a single McDonalds where a (later-discovered) infected worker was working at the time, but that was the full extent of the effort: the packaging was already long gone, and the food eaten, how would we even begin to determine whether those had anything to do with the new infections or not?

I like how the same people who go: > scientists lied to us about human-to-human transmission now go with > scientist tell us hard surface transmission doesn't happen when in both cases the situation was/is: > scientists are only saying "we don't have a study that rigorously proves it yet"

There’s mystery spread going on even in places with competent contact tracing How did the virus infect the first person in each cluster? Some clusters can be connected to each other. Some are mysteries. Certainly there are untraced contacts behind some clusters, but surfaces cannot be discounted. Inefficient surface transmission makes a lot of sense. It infects one person, seemingly out of the blue, who then starts a cluster among their face-to-face contacts. “Inefficient” sounds great, but when the prevalence of infected people gets as high as it is in America, even inefficient mechanisms may present a not insignificant threat to a person’s wellbeing.

Mozi posted:but how long did it take them to publicly change that opinion? That was no opinion, it was absolute fact. They changed it when the WHO was informed that a link had been found. That is the WHO's job in this case, to facilitate communication between different nations. Remember: The WHO was set up to help international coordination and it is only as effective as its member nations let it. I am honestly mystified why Americans are so hung up on the WHO. Other nations have their own agencies that turn information into advice for laypeople. They didn't wait for a link to be conclusively proven because "oh hey a new SARS" has everyone on edge from the get go.

Tronp loves to create content for dems to put into ads against him, I don't get it. Yesterday a dude that I (now) used to be friends with on Facebook shared a 2 month old Trey Gowdy quote saying that there had only been a handful of deaths and the ordinary flu was way worse. These people don’t give a poo poo about facts or reason all they care about is sucking trumps dick and owning the libs. e: they’re also just flat out loving stupid. Like even if all you care about is sucking trump off you gotta be a real loving bonehead to try and support Trump by posting quotes from chuds that prove the “hysteria mongering dems and media” were right two months ago and all the “it’s just the flu bro” chuds were 100% wrong. bird with big dick fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jul 3, 2020 |

After my last day of work on march 6th, my next gig was a remote dating show for TLC, which I remember thinking was a dumb idea for a show, ironically. Virus hit, show got delayed obviously, but then I get told they are going to do it in early may (I'm in NYC remember) and am I available? So yeah, you joke..but they tried.
