how hard would it have been to just use the power of the government to make a ton of 3M N95 knockoffs and mail them to every known address, box of 30 per month?

RIP ellie, you were loved more than you know

A bit late since I fell way behind overnight, but I'm so sorry. There's nothing like losing a pet, and to have to experience that during a worsening pandemic is beyond unfair and awful. It's clear from how much you love her that you gave her a great life.

before operation warp speed for the vax, the trump doctor admin guy who worked on that tried to get cloth masks sent to every household in the U.S., he had gotten Hanes or Fruit of the Loom or whoever to make them and they made them out of white cloth so folks would notice them becoming dirty to encourage replacement but trump admin dudes like Jared thought they looked too much like underwear and that was the end of it.
But I'm sure everyone remembers that.

You could just order a few billion kn95s. Cheaper and you wouldn't gently caress up the production.

here's the funny thing insurance didn't pay for the first or second ones (because I got them through a pubic health department and didn't give them my info) so they dodged paying for all of them.

I need to look at the eob to see why it was denied.

clearly you can't get a booster if you haven't had the first two. denied.

My tour through the best twitter sources ends with Dr. Jay warning us not fall victim to depression, which is spreading alongside lockdowns.
https://twitter.com/DrJBhattacharya/status/1470779960793210883?s=20

it's wild how Lockdowns cause enough extra loneliness to make us all depressed, but having to drive to work 30 minutes a day in a tiny box, working all day in a cubicle, not having a relationship with any of the people who live in your immediate area, those are just the ideal forms of society.

I saw a post saying Omicron was surging in washington, but Hospitalizations are down 10% in the past month. I mean unless tomorrows reporting shows something else - which is possible, the decrease has been pretty consistent.

I think this is just the fall peak subsiding and the Omicron surge hasn't really picked up steam there yet. Pretend I posted that graph of how a decreasing wave and increasing wave interact (I'm sure you know all this but hey POSTING).

Oregon is currently on a downward case trend but also I think we've barely just had Omicron show up so I'm expecting the next 2 months to be FUN TIMES. As of yesterday morning we had 2 of 42 pediatric beds available in the state.

good news, worldometers shows usa is over 10m active cases for the first time ever. previous peaks were 9.99 in early october and 8.95 in mid january. it's not a very good measurement since it's reported weirdly but nice to see a new milestone as we reopen safely

I'm SURE walking around in a respirator at all times in an (even more) OPEN BIDENing society is definitely not a recipe for disaster and anyone that's not cool with getting harassed by CHUDs are cave dwellers. I've got good brain!

It turns out omicron actually is mild :unsmith:
