RoboChrist 9000 posted:So speaking of variants that might evade testing, I was wondering something as a non-science-knower. The nose has a really poo poo immunity and the mucus membranes there are where you're most likely to pick up the infection, therefore that's the best location to get the highest sample rate If they're testing the bacteria in a pimple on your forehead, they don't swab your ear or your rear end in a top hat even though there may be trace amounts of staph there too

So we've got 3 Variants in Brazil, UK, and India that are more infectious, and one in the Phillipines that can compete with Delta AND doesnt give a poo poo about vaccines? Is that right?

scheduled my wife and I for third shots. It chose third dose, is that OK? We aren't immunocompromized, but it didn't give us an option for a Moderna booster.

HHS Data for ICU Occupancy since 8/20 1172 hospitals are not reporting whether or not they have staffing shortages. 507 of them are in Texas, and 99 in Iowa. Also BNO news says there are 51,391 people in the Hospital and 14,159 in ICU with COVID. Heres the problem, and maybe its just what HHS is giving to BNO ahead of time. BNO Hospitalization total = HHS Adult Confirmed and Suspect COVID + HHS Pediatric Confirmed and Suspected COVID numbers. BNO ICU total = 14,159. This is equal to the HHS Adult Confirmed COVID numbers, not "Confirmed and suspected," which would be fine if they were consistent. That number is 16,644 - an increase of 2,276.

Hadlock posted:The nose has a really poo poo immunity and the mucus membranes there are where you're most likely to pick up the infection, therefore that's the best location to get the highest sample rate All PCR tests are done by swabbing the throat here. Rapid tests are gone, but they swabbed the nose. Campbell theorised that breakthrough infections mainly caused runny noses and sneezing because the infection might be localised to the nasal region before the antibody response ramped up and killed it. Should we be swabbing noses instead?

Didn't some research find that intravenous vaxx doses were causing heart problems and not (correctly administered) intramuscular doses? I can't remember if that was thread canon at this point or just another pre-print.

blatman posted:i'm hoping for a malariant tbh I’ve got a parable for that one. A friend of mine is in the kitchen at a popular bar, and the menu involves a lot of pickled stuff. Some time ago, they’ve got a line around the block, they’re pissed, they’ve got a container of pickled radishes, it’s getting late, people are not leaving, the smaller pans for the radishes will need to be filled eventually, the kitchen can’t hear their own music over the incessant woo-ing. They did what any of us would do. The end of the story is that customers started closing out and clearing off. The moral is that they’re fine with an odorless respiratory virus that has already killed seven tenths of a million americans and may kill them or anyone else they happen to meet, but they’ll run gagging from a wet radish. If covid smelled like something or were visible or spread by an insect, I think we’d have it solved by now. If it just instantly killed you, we’d probably take it seriously. It’s just got this perfect blind spot where it can’t be contained because it’s over and everyone interacts with a hundred other people before/if they realize they’re sick. I wish covid smelled bad, we’d be done by now. Real Mean Queen fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Oct 25, 2021 |

poo poo POST MALONE posted:drunk dumb question: is it useful to think of European nations the same as I do individual US states? you can do it, but... is useful? the most important differences are cultural and geografical like on the countries of the south of europe people live to old age and familiar bonds are strong, ... a lot of older people create a large target for covid to do damage, more familiar meetings mean more transmision north of the frontiers of the old roman empire there are countries that deal with coronavirus has a cost-benefict formula, ignoring human suffering. UK considered for a long time to ignore covid existing. Other countries nearby did the same ... for a limited time, until covid started collapsing the whole health system and people with unrelated illness died. - - - - individual US states could be classified has red / blue north / south. A red US state of the south is going to have a leadership that is going to try to ignore the problem, capitalize on health measures to gain votes by going against these measures. I don't see any use to going to "state level" to characterice covid responses, even on USA seems more a regional/cultural thing.

You have the ay.33 test escape variant Since this is the    thread I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's #2If it's in your balls, so help you God

mystes posted:I believe that intravenous administration has been shown to cause stuff like clotting in animals, but it's not known whether incorrect administration is actually occurring and that is causing side effects in humans. I thought it was myocarditis? Or maybe it's both. FWIW, he's not saying it's the sole cause, but it's obviously unethical to verify via human trials and even if it isn't an issue there's no logical reason whatsoever not to aspirate.

mystes posted:I guess the reason they don't do it is that injecting into a vein would be pretty unlikely given the spot that they use for the injections and it would make the shots take longer and be more painful for everyone. They do it universally here, it takes like two seconds and isn't painful at all. It's unlikely to happen but then so are vaccine injuries.

Good morning, Covid thread. I mostly just lurk and try not to pester everyone with questions, but I wanted to bounce a few points of confusion against the hivemind for some much appreciated guidance. I've had both Pfizer doses. My understanding is that I can max out the efficacy by asking for a 3rd dose (not a booster) for Moderna. My two points of worry: 1. Will I be challenged on being immunocompromised and have the shot refused? 2. Will my evidence of two Pfizer shots and the blatant obvious fact that I'm switching teams have the shot refused? Thank you all and god bless.

386-SX 25Mhz VGA posted:Wearing a mask is so loving easy, you absolutely can continue wearing one in indoor public places indefinitely, lol honestly, a big takeaway for me is that I should have been wearing a mask every time I did concerts or card tournaments during high transmission seasons before COVID, and if I had, I would have gotten sick a lot less over the last 15 years. Dumb people can do whatever the gently caress they want but I'm pretty sure we're just on the "n95s for shopping/etc, always" plan from now until Complete Desertification, because COVID aside getting sick sucks and the degree to which American social culture pre-COVID was just one loving disease pit to me never really crossed my mind. I started thinking about this in 2016 when I went from a 300 person office to being fully remote, and also went from getting badly sick 2-3x every winter to not getting sick at all until our kid was in daycare bringing poo poo back. I've been dropping kiddo off at (outdoor, thankfully) preschool lately wearing my Envo w/MasterVlad skull mods. The main teacher who runs the school thought it was hilarious and pointed it out to the other teacher who also did, so I went ahead and said "I've been shopping in this, and it's great. No one even makes eye contact, let alone coming up to try to talk to me about my kid or the weather. It's like I have a personal shield around me". They approved. It's a cool preschool. I was slightly afraid they were gonna say "hey some of the kids find that scary" but actually it turns out that 3-5 year olds think bright blue skull masks are Pretty Cool.
