Shame about patient confidentiality laws, if we could put video on the news of patients having bits carved away like a holiday ham due to ischemia or maggots in their vent masks I’m sure poo poo would change fast.

I used to think people would give a poo poo once they or someone they care about were hooked up to the wall to breathe, but how the gently caress do you contend with indoctrination so thorough that they deny it to their dying breath?

In positive news, my potentially contagious roommate has tested negative AGAIN this morning. Potential exposure date was Dec 30, symptoms were Jan 4. She took a self test Thursday, a test at a center Friday, and a self test this morning - all negatives. She’s going in to a center again tomorrow. She’s also experiencing no symptoms, so the sore throat came with no other symptoms and burned out in like 48 hours. Thursday will be 14 days so fingers crossed it was just some allergies.

I’m lucky, I own a house, have months of emergency food on hand, have two 50 gallon barrels hooked up to my downspouts to collect rainwater, raised beds for plants and lots of seeds, am going to get solar panels installed this year with a large battery for storage, and forced myself to buy a shotgun earlier this year so I know how to use it and can use it for sport where needed. Still lots to do but it’s overwhelming.

Painters come around a lot of noxious fumes/aerosolized paint. It makes sense.

Sometimes (*at both box stores) They also have a designated PPE section (ear and eye protection, fall harnesses, masks of all makes, hardhats - that sorta poo poo). I'd check both sections before determining they're "out"

Lowes doesn't that I've seen, but both stores have good inventories of their local stores online, including the specific aisle and bin # for whatever you are looking for at the store you need (but get curbside pick up)

Listening to my kid cough through a small cold, remembering that time he had pneumonia and I nursed him through three weeks of hell. First thing every morning he'd cough and puke up mucus for easily 10 minutes and couldn't eat much. I slept in his room every night. There were 90 positives in the district over the last five days. What the gently caress.

I'm going to have to homeschool my kid, after two years of living like a monk in a desert cave. gently caress everyone.

Then they're prob in the paint section - if in stock at all. As other posters mentioned, they've got decent online inventory management, and you can check and get it for curbside or using their locker system.

Good luck, goon.

My daughter made it in school one day this semester before being exposed after having a completely uneventful fall. Omicron + no mask mandate wrecks. She was texting with her friends that didn’t get exposed that day and by Friday only one was left in the class and she said that more than half the class was gone.

We’re putting everything together to move to home school next week.

the most amazing thing to me is all of this data is publicly available and easy to find. NYTimes isn't doing anything special really. They just are good at following their style guide (most of the time) and then pushing it to readership. They are barely transforming their data, let alone unearthing novel datasets

it's all so available we've been poo poo posting with the same quality data itt since the beginning. there are multiple people here that could do exactly what the Times, WSJ and FT are doing (and gently caress, I've hired some of them too)

Well. At least we aren't alone. There's still a mask mandate in the school but there's just no way there isn't in school transmission. This is insane.
