if you run out of toilet paper you can grab the leaves of common mullein, aka camper's helper

we're coming into season in most of the country for it, and it has soft leaves that are perfect for use as toilet paper

it's invasive so pick it as much as you like

Do the tests actually cost $1500, is the boss going to pay for it?

Some people were getting billed for over 4k so I doubt it.

This is real, though. I work at a school and when a teacher calls in sick, it's a huge ordeal for the other teachers and staff because they probably won't be able to find a substitute teacher so now there'll be a lot of kids in classrooms where they're normally not. And teachers know this and take it into account when deciding if it's worth it to call in sick.

Obviously reason #1 is that you don't want to get fired, but there's a solid reason #2 that you don't want your coworkers to have lovely days and hate you.

With the nursing home being infected in WA, the death count is going to go up rapidly, and before the end of the week you'll have confirmed cases in other SNFs.

At the very least this is going to cause a lot of damage in the LTC environment, especially since it's right on the horizon and NO LTCs I know of are taking steps to prepare. "LOL 3%" is all well and good until everybody's grandparents are dead. LTCs are death traps on the best of days...

Notable that all six of these were at one hospital, which is why the first guy who reported the deaths in this press conference didn't know about the sixth, as he was just in charge of King county.

Corona-chan isn't keeping any of us from being good consumers! Hail number! Low prices!

Do Oregon and Washington still have the lowest vaccination rates in the country?

That's probably not going to be helpful.
