So I guess I'll count it as a win compared to these other stories. I've been wearing a full face respirator when shopping for months, 3M 6800. To this day the only direct comment I've recieved aside from a couple of kids that said hey cool mask was from a dude who walked into a walmart at the same time as me who just said 'you're really wearing a full face respirator up in in this bitch' and then we both laughed and went about shopping. not really the same thing as wearing one at work but ime no one cares.

What the actual gently caress is wrong with people in the anglosphere? My company recommends people work from home as much as possible, and for people who have to be at the office there's grab boxes full of N95s at every entrance. Is that so difficult for everyone else?

Hungry posted:The highly intelligent and adaptive ape knows that something is wrong, that there is a sickness in the air, to be avoided. But the human subject of the final stage of cybernetic capitalism is psychologically incapable of taking steps to avoid danger if those steps would disrupt the system, if those steps are impossible (or even difficult) to commercialise, or if those steps are at least not neutral. But instinct is still in there, demanding survival and safety. So we get magical thinking.

How can we know we are peaking in case counts? Rapid tests rarely get reported - and everyone is taking rapid tests now....because they're pushing the rapid tests.

I know someone with COVID who had an unexpected visitor drop by their place. They opened their door and exposed the visitor anyway. When I got upset at that they replied, "They knew I had COVID. Not my problem." That's the part I've struggled with the most during all this. The friends and acquaintances that have disappointed me with their selfishness and complete lack of concern for how their actions affect other people. Please share stories of friends and family that have let you down during the pandemic.

I've never heard of an "emf meter" and it's apparently so distinct from regular radio stuff that Amazon hasn't even ever recommended one to me.Some of those things are crazy expensive! I should get in on that racket and start making antennas wired to LEDs and selling them as artisanal emf meters

She does get PCR'd like 8 times a week but that doesn't do much for me if she gets it b/c we don't have a positive pressure set up for the kitchen anyway. just remember that positive pressure is when you have your own room, and you know you're not infected, and you want to make sure that bad air doesn't get inside negative pressure is when you know someone is infected, and you want to make sure their bad air doesn't leave their room to get to the rest of the house

Pillowpants posted:How can we know we are peaking in case counts? Australia's case count 'peaked' and started dropping at the exact same time that they told everyone to not get a PCR test unless they were symptomatic or had been instructed to get tested by the health department because they were a close contact of a known case, and everyone else had to rely on rapid tests. People who pop positive on rapid tests have to make a report on a hotline or website so it'll be counted but rapid tests are super hard to find at the moment, there's stories of people driving around to every pharmacy in the area and they're all sold out for days. Also 90,000 PCR tests in Melbourne got thrown out because the labs were so backlogged they couldn't process them in time. Friends of mine had their entire family come down with covid so they all went and got tested and then 10 days later they got a message saying that their tests were no longer viable and they should go get rapid tests.

They wouldn't even understand why I'm upset. Our family came up with a common consensus when it was clear that covid was going to land us in the poo poo, and it was that we would follow all the important precautions, if we needed deliveries we'd get them non-contact only, and if anyone was dumb enough to play fast and loose with safety precautions, they'd be cut out of the family effective immediately. And thus far, it worked well enough. 3 families living under the same roof, and none caught even the glimpse of covid, leave alone covid itself.

The sad reality of life is that a lot of people are prone to huffing their own farts or blindly believing in the first convincing person to tell them what they most want to hear. Being good at one thing does not equate to being good at other things or even be capable of sorting through the available information for the best results.
