Is there anything in place to keep people from doing this? I live near several rural towns where COVID's been over since the spring of 2020, can't imagine there's any demand for masks out there (therefore I'm not taking them from people who want them).

Don't know if this has been posted, to bring a touch more context to this story.


quote:

COVID-19 has been detected on the remote Pacific nation of Kiribati for the first time.

Kiribati has been one of the few areas of the world that was safe from COVID-19 throughout the pandemic due to its early, strict travel restrictions and its remote location, The Associated Press reported.

But not even a month after loosening its border restrictions, the country is seeing an outbreak of COVID-19 cases.

The outbreak began when Kiribati permitted the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to bring back 54 citizens to Kiribati, many of whom had been working as missionaries, the AP reported.

Kiribati ensured the citizens were fully vaccinated and that they were tested three times in Fiji first, but 36 individuals ended up testing positive for the virus once they landed in the country.

A church spokesperson told the AP the individuals are working with authorities and staying in quarantine.

The number of positive cases has since jumped to 181, and Kiribati is now deploying coronavirus restrictions such as lockdowns, curfews and quarantine sites. The government has declared a state of disaster in the nation with only 113,000 residents and few intensive care unit beds, according to the AP.

Just 33 percent of Kiribati's citizens are fully vaccinated.

How long does one usually continue to test positive on rapid tests after COVID infection?

My wife got COVID 11 days ago and just finished her 10 day isolation. She says she feels 100% back to normal and has been 100% since day 7, but she did a rapid test and tested positive just today (a faint line, but still positive).

Is it safe for her to come out of isolation, or should she wait until she tests negative?

Rapid tests are less sensitive than PCR, so she is definitely not kosher to go out

I have had this condition since I was a young child.
It got way better after puberty, and was never really debilitating - I just blacked out like 5+ times a week.

When I was about 6 weeks post covid, I began having heart arythmia similar to this example. It sucks (mine usually tops out ~120bpm, though).
Covid was early October, got the booster (fwiw) at end of October.

Same poo poo is still going on w me

(*yes, I told my Dr, they did an EKG. Said it looked fine - poo poo wasn't racing in the office, though)

I’m testing out Apple Music before I cancel.

the good of Apple. better sound quality, good playlists, and so on.

the bad.

not as good discover weekly I suspect, and the actual interface for playlists leaves something to be desired, on top of which, to get it to work really right I’d have to sync with my local music, and I don’t want to do that because of all my chillstep/video game soundtracks I’ve ripped from YouTube.

also, I’d be canceling on two friends who have Spotify through me who haven’t texted me back in 6 months because they kinda started sucking because of COVID mental health, which would be a whole thing, and family members who use Spotify, which would also be a hassle.

What are people's thoughts on the Envo Mask? Most of the reviews I can find are from nurses and seem to be overwhelmingly positive. Unfortunately for me I only trust anecdotes from users of long forgotten web forums.

I had one early on in the pandemic when N95s were impossible to find and it was OK. The biggest issue for me was that the mask was very small on my face. It felt like whenever I moved or talked it was easy to break the seal. It was also kind of difficult to do a fit check. For the price, I didn't think it was worth it. If I'm popping in and out for takeout or something quick I just wear an Aura, which I feel has a much better seal. Anything with longer exposure I'm back to wearing my 3M 7503 half mask. Seal is fantastic and it's so easy to breathe in. Much cheaper than an Envo, too!

You get a few more looks in a half mask, but gently caress it, who cares

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
4 out of 6 of the people who go into the office still for some reason are out with COVID now.

I'm sure you've talked about this for the last few hundred pages but I was astonished when I learned that the big Biden program to send tests to everyone in the US was that self test antigen stuff. I assumed that if millions of Americans sent in their PCR-tests at once it would overwhelm the system and they've been waiting until they had more lab capacity. I was actually dumb enough to think that the Biden administration had built up some kind of infrastructure.
