yeah, this pretty much ended compounding in retail pharmacies... we used to compound simple stuff like tamiflu suspensions and magic mouthwash (viscous lidocaine, benadryl and maalox) but after that pharmacy hosed over lots of people the retail pharmacies decided they didn't want the liability... the california state board also shut down a ton of compounding pharmacies run by sketchy or lazy pharmacists

unfortunately we still do lots of magic mouthwash - half the frustration is how tedious documenting everything is for each prescriptions. necessary but still a pain in the rear end.

Alberta is currently not giving ventilators to anyone over 60 and not giving surgery to anyone with cancer. Our government says there's no need to increase public health measures because they'll expand ICU capacity. Also they're expanding the law that makes it illegal to protest on public property

lol business owners are still whining about it to this day. A lib friend shared an article from the Atlantic they skimmed and thought I'd like because it identified a bunch of problems in CA I've organized around, but it was all garbage takes by the people causing the problems. They even made room for a compounder who has been threatening to leave the state for over a decade but never quite does.

I remember early on in the pandemic, like even before the NBA shutdown, somebody from WHO gave an interview about how responding to COVID requires us to make it seem like we are over-reacting and that if we do it right it'll seem like all the work was for nothing because COVID would just go away and every once in a while I remember that interview and lol. Just lmfao.

I vaguely remember some right wing rear end in a top hat saying something like "We all panicked about SARS/ebola and scrambled to take action and then nothing happened, it was all a waste of effort!!!"

So apparently the pulse oximeter I bought at Walgreens for like 10 bucks and have been using since this all began either always was, or recently has become, completely unreliable since the readings I got for it for at least heartrate were basically substantially off. Used a recent trip to a doctor to compare.

What are some goon-approved models?

Also; I love this thread and use it for info regularly and credit it with saving if not my life, at least a good chunk of my sanity and my money. Is there a plague crew discord someone could pm me? I worry that we might get closed down because of recent events.

Naw as someone with a seven week old it's really hosed up and even people that say they're gonna like stand outside masked are 100% going to try and hold your baby.

One of her grandma's (my wife's mom) is here right now and had agreed to quarantine at her own mother's place for two weeks after her flight and take a couple of COVID tests during that time and she did but then when she's here's she keeps offhand mentioning all the shopping they did or poo poo like "We went to Arby's and I can't believe how many people were bringing their little kids there, no way they were vaccinated" and I'm sorry excuse me you were eating inside at an Arby's last week while telling me that you were quarantining?

But she mainlines CNN so she completely earnestly thinks she's doing everything she's supposed to and did nothing wrong. Between my parent's and my wife's parents we have three flavors of Boomer democrats. Her mom watches CNN like 10 hours a day. My parents listen to NPR 24/7, and her dad and stepmom religiously watch the morning network shows and the evening local news. And they all got their vaccines and mask up when they are here because we ask them to (the grandparents are the only people we allow over) but are shopping to their heart's content and eating indoors at bars and restaurants because that's what the news is telling them they're supposed to be doing.
loving hell having to deal with a baby
i'm so glad i have a toddler now

then again, my toddler (daycare) and 1st grader (in-person school) have now been getting routine covid tests on a weekly basis because something keeps going around causing the sniffles sneezes etc
my toddler has been the one getting hit with most of it all
they continue to test negative from home tests and outdoor RT-qPCR test sites but loving hell it's only a matter of time i'm sure

sucks to be right
Here in Melbourne Australia we have a massively important cultural tradition of holding the Australian Rules Football finals at the MCG stadium every September. We have a public holiday for it every year and a parade down main street and songs commemorating it and special collectors editions of the newspapers and all the usual bullshit associated with the final of the most popular local sport blah blah blah. Of course this year Melbourne is completely hosed up with covid but the state of Western Australia has been covid free for months and months so they decided to hold the grand final there so they could at least have a live crowd in attendance. Interstate travel from Melbourne to Perth is currently banned unless you have a valid essential reason for traveling and you applied for an official permit and you go into quarantine on arrival, and going to the grand final is not considered a good enough reason for a travel permit. You can guess where this is heading .......


quote:

Two to face court in WA over alleged border breach to attend Grand Final

A Melbourne bar owner and his friend will face court tomorrow in Western Australia amid a police investigation about whether they allegedly illegally entered the isolated state and attended the AFL grand final.
Hayden Burbank, 49, who owns Chapel Street cocktail bar and restaurant Morris Jones, and Mark Babbage, 39, were arrested just after 10.30am today after WA police desperately called for help to hunt them down.
WA police called for public help to find the pair on Tuesday morning, releasing photos and descriptions of the men, saying anyone who sighted them was urged to call police immediately.
https://www.9news.com.au/national/c...7b-b48515ae0dd5

The stupid assholes not only snuck into the state to go to the grand final (lying to police about where they'd come from) but got into the winners change room after the game and were photographed with the players as they celebrated. Once news got out the cops organised a dragnet to hunt them down

how effective would ICU expansion be for dealing with overcapacity? it sounds like worker turnover is potentially a factor since there aren’t enough ICU nurses manning the units. is the issue major enough right now that we have empty ICUs altogether or are they just running at suboptimal levels?
