The best part is that effectively all of those articles are actually just repeating the same "data" from well over a week ago. None of it is actually new. It's like the torrent of repeated erroneous poo poo that erupts around SEO content, except it's major media publications during a global pandemic.

There was literally nothing else they could do? Did they at least give them the N95 equivalent?

It's a town of 40K people, guess they couldn't get anyone on short notice. They've had to ask 10 home care and 20 care home workers to come in despite protocol to meet demand. They're supposedly wearing face shields, surgicals and plastic suits. So no, guess not. Those are strictly for COVID wards. I surmise Pingui, myself and the few people I've convinced to upgrade are the only other people who wear FFP2 or better in this country.

If this then starts ripping through care homes, I wonder if anybody's gonna be mad that they pushed contagious people to go to work. Is that a thing that they'd care about there?

It's gonna do that regardless. Who cares. COVID is mild and also over.

Everyone else has already picked the low hanging fruit, but could this dweeb have maybe gotten a real shelf instead of whatever that plastic thing is? You can make your nerd hoard look mildly presentable if you put it on the right furniture.

Well I gave up and have to go into the dentist tomorrow at 7am (first appt). The staff is vaccinated and wear N95s but there will be two other patients in the building at the same time, so I guess if I get a bad dice roll I just die. (Immuno-suppressed to the point of being unvaccinated.)

It does look like with a 3M Aura I could pull the lower part all the way up and tape it to my upper lip and then breath through my nose the whole time. Of course I can't wear goggles with that. :rubby:

There are 761,000 Hospital Beds (Per HHS Numbers) in the country.

On 11/23, 527k of those were full
On 12/4 (prior to weekend reporting), 603,000 of them were full.

That means: 158,000 open hospital beds, at an average increase of 6,924 hospitalizations a day.

22 days of beds left at current rates.

Is it just a cleaning? I'd consider rescheduling for another three six months out. It's not worth gambling your life if you don't have a problem you need to fix right now.

No there's pain from a molar and it's not getting better. Of course this is just like an x-ray and quick checkup so if there's something actually wrong I'll have to go back, or if there's not then the visit was a waste. The whole thing is stupid but since we live in hell it's guaranteed if I put it off it'll turn into an emergency right in the middle of the winter peak you know.

Mild messaging is everywhere and even more contagious than the variant itself. My parents don't pay close attention beyond what they inadvertently glimpse on the news, they've been relying on me for information throughout most of the pandemic, but taking more risks since they got vaccinated. Yesterday I talked to my dad who'd gone to boomer* Christmas lunch in a restaurant and then on to a café the day before, mentioned the high school superspreader event and urged them again to stop taking unnecessary risks at this critical juncture, their boosters aren't even at full effect yet. "But they're saying it's milder." AAAAAAAAAAAAA


*At least one case of COPD and heart disease (my dad), one with COPD and some other chronic illness I can't remember, one with cancer, dunno about the rest. All in attendance 70+.

That's hosed, yeah. Sorry to hear it, wish I had more substantive advice

Like, the joke answer is to rig up one of those box-fan air filter cubes, but just make like a dozen of them using computer fans and a big fancy rig to wear it all with and power it so you can just purify the air wherever you go. Only slightly less joke answer might be to, like, tape together a mask and goggles so you can at least have your nose and eyes covered.

Putting off dental visits, if one is in a state where they have access to dental visits in the first place, does seem like poor advice, but I also don't know how the gently caress else to deal with most of humanity collectively giving up on vulnerable people.

The only real solution I could come up with was a PAPR hooked up to a CPAP nasal cannula thing. If I have to go back for repeated dental work to fix whatever this is this winter I might actually consider it.

Going to the dentist is overall reducing your chance of dying even during covid. You absolutely should feel more scared by not going because teeth are the real deal.

Nah, you want to learn how to go without to prepare yourself for when the entire healthcare system collapses.

Get in touch with abortion doctors, they probably will be the first to go underground and they will be the most prepared for treating people out of a garage.
