Nocturtle posted:This is the main problem I can see. House prices around NYC are going way up and don't see it getting better. The rats are fleeing the ship, and what's worse is I'm one of the pokier rats! Some maladjusted part of me hopes the current drive for normalcy pushes prices back down a bit, so the reactionary homeowner mindset is already setting in. Absolutely, if you can't afford a house, that sucks. And in his reply he did state that he cannot afford a house. But in the original post he made it sound like the reason he wasn't buying a house was the danger, not the expense. Elastomeric respirators are really hard to mess up as long as you don't try to wear them over a full beard. The margin of error on them is very high, much higher than for a disposable mask, even a good one like an Aura. If you have something like a 3M 7500 series or a SecureClick, getting a reliable seal is incredibly easy.

DickParasite posted:There's no model that could accurately forecast deaths because all models are dependent on Reff which is only measurable post hoc. It's always and inevitably worse than that. You're examining a system (namely, a pandemic) where you cannot even hope to capture all the forces at play, within the relatively small system of nonlinear DEs that constitutes your model.

While we're on the topic, I just want to double check - do you need to get a full breath without leakage to pass the positive check? Or does it just need to fill the space for a portion of the breath and then eventually leak out (since there's nowhere for the air to go), as opposed to coming out immediately?

That's why their future is almost as bleak as ours. They'll buy themselves a bit of extra time with the money they've stolen. But they've already displayed the fact that they don't know how to use that time, so it really does them no good.

I commented during a listening session for a new climate change plan in my state, and one of my arguments was that we (Michigan) need to "rebrand car culture for the 21st century" because LOL if I'm going to realistically get Americans to give up personal automobiles but there's a chance I can make an electric vehicle a mark of prestige through social pressure.

It rules that libs have completely poisoned the well of reasoning with anyone using studies, etc because they put assholes like Fauci on Meet the Press every other week saying something totally different and smugly attributing it to science. Every mask argument devolves to "oh so you believe the science like FAUCI?"

CPU Abuser posted:NO. Then I don't know what to tell you. What were you modeling? Because there are some things that are way more resilient and produce way more confident statistical metrics (physics, biochem, 'hard' sciences) than others (social sciences writ large). I studied economics, and frankly moldy paper mache was a good day and a reason to get beers. And that doesn't change my thesis: you have a marketing problem where the public thinks this is no big deal because either 1) the message they're getting is inconsistent and so they're defaulting back to 'normal' or 2) the powers-that-be are actively marketing the death cult, AKA Open Biden. The general public thinks statistics is all fake anyway. Source: my anecdotal conversations with random people where I tell them my interests and they say that to my face.

Why Am I So Tired posted:While we're on the topic, I just want to double check - do you need to get a full breath without leakage to pass the positive check? No. It's physically impossible for you to fully exhale into the mask without breaking the seal, your lung volume is far too large. Just puff out a little bit of air and see if there's an immediate leak. Anything more than slight pressure will, by physical necessity, force air out under the seal. The positive pressure check is also way, way less important than the negative pressure check. It's mostly for making sure your inspiratory valves (between the filters and the inside of the mask) are functioning properly and that you aren't exhaling into your filters.

Thoguh posted:Who could have possibly imagined that this might happen? Realize these survival probability vs time plots are EXTREMELY dire considered in their entirety, but honestly this one is kind of reassuring to anyone recently infected:  If you make it out to roughly one month then the probability of death is not significantly higher than for the non-infected controls, esp with a "non-severe" case. This is interpreting the plots as using cumulative mortality to calculate probability of death vs time, which the paper text itself suggests. It would be quite a different matter if for example the slope of the green "COVID" curve was systematically higher than the blue control curve over the entire time period, but the excess probability of death is dominated by the rise in mortality in that first month and afterwards the slopes are consistent. Still very dire, but slim pickings for good news at present. Of course the timescale for "long COVID" impacts to appear is 2-8 weeks at least, so infected people aren't out of the woods at 1 month. And as this thread has noted who knows what this plot looks like out to 10 years, with some reinfections mixed in. Kylaer posted:Elastomeric respirators are really hard to mess up as long as you don't try to wear them over a full beard. The margin of error on them is very high, much higher than for a disposable mask, even a good one like an Aura. If you have something like a 3M 7500 series or a SecureClick, getting a reliable seal is incredibly easy. For sure, the 7500 series is my daily mask and it's close to idiot proof, assuming the idiot remembers to shave. Sadly lots of people use disposable respirators that aren't as easy to check the seal even in principle, unless you have access to fit testing equipment, and haven't even been trained to do so. These people then get into crowded subway cars and classrooms. I just don't see the risk as essentially zero in this case, esp as errors will happen and they can be hard to catch with disposables, esp if you don't know what to look for. They're definitely much better than wearing a cloth mask though, that CDC guidance likely killed a lot of people.

While not everyone was going full KN95 mask use here was pretty much 100% which was honestly real loving surprising (this is ohio). Most people have their own office so they didnt wear one by themsevles by in any common area or when talking to someone everyone was masked up. I've now had at least 5 people tell me I don't have to keep masking up when they see me still wearing a mask lmao
