Platystemon posted:“Basic hygiene” for the flu was understood to be clean hands. It turns out that’s really not a major mode of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission and there is every reason to suspect that the flu is the same way. This is false.

Lol. We've known aerosol transmission is the dominant vector for a long time. That's not the point. Did you ever consider that those numbers are the result of things like hand washing, etc.?

learnincurve posted:The telegraph argument is rendered dangerous anti-vax bullshit the moment they cited a letter from concerned parents and celebrities as a reason as to why my 17 year old daughter can’t get vaccinated. The daily telegraph and every single person who signed that letter can get loving hosed. "The Daily Telegraph can't get loving hosed." is a good rule in general.

sharknado slashfic posted:What's the latest on vaccinated people being able to spread covid? I had a friend over last night that I haven't seen in a year and after about an hour of being here he told me he spent all of memorial day weekend bar hopping at *insert local beach resort town*. We're both fully vaxxed with mrna vaccines so not only would it have to be spreadable by him but it would also have to breakthrough me, but I have to admit that made me feel a little uncomfortable being in a room with him for an hour. I would not be worried.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:There's this bizarre belief in the US that admitting you got sick is a sign of weakness or even some kind of moral flaw so you've got these people who insist on coming to work if they've got a cold or bragging about how they never get sick or bragging about their high pain tolerance etc etc.. I guess it's a byproduct of the whole Rugged Individualism thing they've got going on and never admitting vulnerability is a huge part of some people's personalities, which I guess also explains why certain people were so incredibly angry about being made to wear facemasks. You're complicating things and confusing all of those words with "pathological narcissism, a possible opiate addiction, and an absence of education about contagious disease".

Rolo posted:Blood O2 finger thing is bouncing between 96 and 97. Doc says anything above 90 with covid is ok so cool? BPM is under 100 now too. Temp is still hanging around 101. If that temp goes 104 or greater for more than an hour or two, get to the ER. That's when protein breakdown starts to happen in the "essential services" of your body. You got this.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:If the US is pushing this story again then the amount of covid cases we are seeing now are prolly just the beginning. It was probably a lab leak due to being reckless. I was a strong believer that it was during specimen collection (i.e. they were lazy with their PPE going into bat caves), but if they did have a lab move that's a strong vector too.

We've also had a lot of lab leaks, but none that did this poo poo.

At this point in time, S gene dropout is going to be indicative of Omicron 99.999% of the time. The other variants that displayed that behavior were overwhelmingly crowded out by Delta.

A Stupid Baby posted:My sort-of-supervisor/work friend I've worked with every day for over 6 years at this point has had Covid twice, first time with pretty mild symptoms and the second time she's been in and out of the hospital before being admitted last week, pretty quickly put on a vent with kidney failure and bloodclots in the lungs. Just got a call today that they tried to take her off sedation to check on her and they think she's braindead now. Only a handful of people at work are acting differently at all. Like 2 people total out of I dunno 60 put on masks that they poke their noses out of. I just don't get it, I figured once it started hitting closer to home people would wake the gently caress up and take it seriously. Just walked out of my job because no one will wear a mask. We're a clinical testing lab.

Still have 8 months on my lease.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:This is a massive ongoing issue in hospitals across the US right now as they're handing fistfuls of cash to traveling nurses to fill positions but not paying any extra to the current staff and in some cases canceling bonuses and punishing people who take time off, so of course the staff are all going "You're treating me like poo poo and paying them double, why the gently caress am I still here????" Providing your disaffected work force with ammunition during a plague and a period of unprecedented corruption by the 1% seems like a poor choice.
