If you're in a shared/communal living space and not a single family home you're already turbofucked w.r.t. air quality control. Opening the windows would be a net benefit compared to sucking down recycled communal air that has been in any number of units with no chance to disburse.

It's a 1BR in a typical suburban apartment complex (door opens to a staircase outside), thankfully not an apartment building. Before the pandemic we asked if the units were connected in any way and they told us no, so hopefully we're good. If not, then just lol.

Wish there were a safe way to buy a house and move during this. There's just too much risk.

Everyone has given up on understanding how the material world works. Instead they make decisions by reacting to other people reactions. But now everyone is reacting to reactions of their own reactions and so on. They are uncontrollably jittering and clipping out of the environment.

This is a cult “yes and”ing themselves into mass suicide. They have to get rid of masks so they can gauge others reactions to their current bit.

The place I was living before this was a gutted-and-converted house that had been built in like the 1890s, with everything on a single furnace.

I fell face-first into this SFH rental that was only marginally more expensive and frankly the risk of seeing it and signing paperwork was lower than staying in what could quickly become a plague-box.

Yeah, this is how most companies operate these days. Lockheed Martin isn't a defense company they're a shareholder value company. Planes and weapons do squirt out of one end but those are just byproducts. A climbing stock price is the product they sell.

Oh yeah in that case absolutely. In retrospect one of the best things that ever happened to us was getting priced out of the converted house we'd been living in in Seattle. Our former upstairs neighbor seems to have resumed the concert / restaurant / bar / party every night Open Biden lifestyle the day she got her first dose, we'd be completely hosed.

I'm only three months out from my booster and I know max titers is always an option, just curious if there's going to be gatekeeping for shot No. 4.

I’m goin next week

we got turned around three weeks ago when we tried goin legit, because NY state (drat residual infrastructure!!) actually tracks people and flagged us as under the five month timeline.

no sweat that we absolutely bandited our third dose, they just know five months ago we had one. which I guess… fine. inconvenient, but fine

Except for the one data point every lib internalized (1918 influenza) and even that didn't 'end' for 4-5 years after it began. We're barely halfway through the best case scenario.

I still have my backpacker meal planning chart somewhere, which lists what combinations of what food groups you need to make a complete protein without animal products. I can tell you that I've never felt as good (or pooped as good) as I did while eating very spartan trail meals made out of potato pearls and lentils.

Blend your mashed potatoes and lentils together and add some spice rack. Real gourmet poo poo.

because that portion of the population is a small % of people who would get their kids vaxxed.

my 9 year old is one of two kids in his class of 24 whose parents got him vaccinated

the powers that be no longer see the point in delaying a full return to “normality”

I assume that is the case too, but at least give those of us who want to vaccinate their kids a chance before opening up?

Just wait until schools add COVID vaccines as a required vaccine for kids, I bet the dems don’t have the balls to do it. I’m done voting if this is what both parties decide.

It's going the opposite way since US politicians are drafting state level to get rid of mandatory vaccination for schools.

If you've got money to buy a house, go ahead and buy a house. It's perfectly safe. You can do everything involved in viewing, buying, and moving while wearing a respirator. Wearing a respirator reduces your risk of contracting covid to essentially zero, even if you're right up close and personal with someone actively dying of covid (plus wear protective glasses or goggles if you want to, I suppose). Take it from someone who has been there dozens of times. Your concept of risk is completely uncoupled from reality.

So I've got a reasonable supply of 3M Vflex n95's and they've become my preferred everyday mask. My only issue is that they use the cheaper style of elastic band. That lead me to wonder: is anyone out there is making a clip-on aftermarket halo for N95's? It seems like it would be fairly easy to make a comfortable strap system with wider woven fabric elastic and some alligator clips that could take the place of the thinner rubber-band style straps on 9105s and 9205s.

Exactly. Only about a third of people are gonna get their little kids vaxxed (assuming it's similar to the 5-12 cohort) but that third of us are chomping at the bit to do so.

The FDA meeting is on Tuesday, right? I'm hoping it moves quickly after that.
