ISSAQUAH, Wash. — Students who attended an Issaquah High School home football game on Sept. 10 are being asked to get a COVID-19 test after "a few" tested positive and were infectious at the time.

High school administration have notified all close contacts, according to a letter to families. However, Public Health - Seattle & King County is recommending all students who attended that game get tested.

The department is also telling students to be "extra vigilant" in monitoring for symptoms over the next 10 days and wear a mask, even when outdoors.

why is the CDC/FDA so purposefully against a booster shot despite the evidence clearly indicating they're not only needed but add a layer of needed protection? is it the underlying possibility they're admitting the original vaccines aren't as effective as they once advertised, or is it the logistics of having to roll out more shots?

I went biking the other day and the path I ride runs next to a high school, and a team was doing football practice. zero masks in site, they were all super close to each other, and the adults there was well didn't wear masks and were talking in each other's faces. none of these loving idiots learn.

COVID is over and done with so why would anyone need a booster?

i wonder if it's not the Vincent Racaniello Effect where a few subject matter experts are making pedantic arguments demanding 100% certain technical evidence of a claim and completely ignoring the trade-offs or urgency of the situation

yep. in april/may the call was made that 100% of covid messaging would be 2 shots = completely immune, complete with the CDC director saying that on tv shows. Then after that all messaging has focused on telling people they should vaccinate if they haven't.

Anything that goes against vaccine=perfect contradicts their messaging, and contradiction can't be allowed. Especially with the removal of masks

Hey, remember all the times we have been warned that if we ever get socialized medicine, we'd suffer from rationed care? Good news, we are getting there anyway thanks to our health system just flat out buckling.

I don't know why the hell this of all things is making me crack-ping, but gently caress, here I am.

hot tip: we've always rationed care but until now we always used "can you pay?" as the main triage.

now it's a capacity problem and the free market does not have a solution for that.

3m 800 series respirator club - I’m having some issues with my secureclick, was wondering if you had any advice. I’m getting a ton of pressure on the bridge of my nose.



in addition to looking like an extra in fight club, it hurts. if I fasten it looser I lose the seal when I smile or bump the mask, if I fasten it too tight I’m safe but I get this. it’s this way with both the 802 and 803 (medium and large). I’m 6’3” 215lbs, so I don’t think the small one would do me much good. any advice would be appreciated, I’d love to make these work.

I don't have the issue to the same extent, but I do notice and have posted here before that the HF800 series seems to have a smaller, tighter nose bridge than the 3m 7500 series, which I find more comfortable. You lose the voice diaphragm but the filters, especially the plastic encased ones, are cheaper.

they probably wanna make us pay for our own shots eventually and each booster that is offered free to us represents billions of dollars less money for someone, somewhere.

not just guidance. joe said we would have boosters on the 20th lol. and now it's looking almost certain it won't happen

tomorrow the 17th is apparently a big meeting with the FDA to approve it. all week there have been dueling news articles "Pfizer shows need for booster", "Moderna publishes data showing need for booster" vs "FDA Official Say No Need For Booster" etc.

the communication inside the biden administartion has broken down so badly that departments like CDC and FDA only talk to each other by smearing the other in the press. it is a complete clusterfuck. this is what collapse looks like

they're not wrong that vaccines are still effective 6-8 months later, because you'll still clearly spin up antibodies when exposed

you just won't have them circulating already, meaning instead of crushing it immediately you get sick and potentially spread it around for a bit before your immune system can finally crush it

considering there isn't exactly a supply crunch in this country it should be pretty obvious that in terms of public health outcomes, boosters to keep antibodies circulating is as many people as possible is a zero downside all upside thing lol

They haven't issued guidance yet but they are definitely signaling that they do not support widespread boosters being available in the US.

They've bought into the idea that boosters are immoral until everyone has had a first dose.

some beancounter is saying this
150m fully vaxxed getting booster shot * 2 days out sick =300m workdays lost
150m fully vaxxed maybe not getting sick who can really know * 0 days out sick = 0 workdays lost

cardiac nurse friend says all the covid patient who have been there for two plus weeks, have a negative covid test, and can't leave are just being transferred to cardiac floors. this is how they're getting their covid patients down; just saying they're cardiac now because TECHNICALLY they're not covid positive

anyway the cardiac nurses are bitching that they're just pancake artists now because all they do is flip the patients over back and forth
