Sunny Side Up posted:thank you! we tried a lot of stuff in curbside and have our own process. lock doors, recirc the a/c, pop the trunk (changed the spring so it'd really pop and be obvious, don't know what we'd do if we didn't have sedan-style cars). we tried a lot of things with ID/order# (e.g. a big printout of our name & 'put it in the trunk', etc), but still got "we can't understand you! roll down your window!" until we started just holding our licenses up to the window. for some reason that works like magic every time. I’ve thought about making an intercom that sits on the outside of my door for this reason

I'm going to go to a bondage/drag show tonight, where almost no one will be masked (*at least, I'd bet). I'm going respirator gang, ofc. It'll be nice to do something fun. Might breakdown and do a suck'n'gently caress. Who knows. Wish me luck

RealityWarCriminal posted:One influential model uses those factors and others to estimate that 73% of Americans are, for now, immune to omicron, the dominant variant, and that could rise to 80% by mid-March. That would mean ~750k get infected every single day until mid-March.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:seems like masks might be cool in this setting, but idk Yep, super dumb that folks won't take the opportunity to really lean into the aesthetic. I tested negative on a rapid today (5 day mark past leaving my plague doctor role). I'll still rock a 6200 with an exhalation filter. It is my most doomer looking mask.

Jingoro posted:To be fair, Houston drivers were already pretty terrifying before Covid when I lived there years ago. (Dart across six lanes of traffic on I-10 at the last minute without signaling because you forgot to exit? SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.) I can only imagine what it's like now with the hard drinking and all the Covid brain damage. oh god it's worse now the construction really took off when covid hit and now parts of 610 are collapsing and all kinds of poo poo. thus transtar is crucial lol

How common is it for a household of three where one member has home-tested positive for covid and the others don't get it after nearly a week? My wife and I were fully vaccinated with Pfizer/Moderna by June and boostered in December. Our six year old was fully vaccinated by the week before Christmas. Last Tuesday we got our third "your child was exposed to covid yesterday" email from the school since the start of the year . He was negative on Friday but positive on Saturday. Figuring "welp, here we go", I took a test and was negative. But that Saturday afternoon I had a lesser (don't make me say "mild"!) feeling of the drained feeling I had after my second shot (booster didn't affect me) so I was confident that of course NOW I've got it. Our son's only symptom was a runny nose. None of us masked or isolated. Wife tested negative on Sunday. I tested again on Monday and FINALLY it showed up as....negative? Monday we tested our son again and he was still positive (line was fainter than Saturday if that means anything). I tested negative again on Wednesday. My wife went to a clinic for a test yesterday and her results today are negative. How is my family is doing covid wrong?

Everyone who didn’t get omicron before will definitely get it now with mask mandates ending. Too bad the people making these decisions don’t get COVID and die as payment to nurgle
