pro starcraft loser posted:Hmm. I feel completely fine but have no way to check my temperature which is the telltale sign for this. A few of the pharmacists we called recommended using a meat thermometer or instant read kitchen thermometer if we couldn't come up with an oral one. A meat thermometer won't be the most precise thing in the world, but it should tell you if you're running a fever just fine.

Mozi posted:does this mean there's a ton of other mysterious pneumonia cases out there or something? what are the other 97.5% catching? (i know you don't know, just wondering) No. They will be tested for the common flu first. If you test negative for that and it is deemed to just be a cold, you will not be tested. You have to test negative for the flu and be symptomatic for Covid-19 to get the test. We are ramping up as fast as we can and have more analyzers on the way, but they are not small. We have drive through testing established with more to come in the region. Our arch enemy hospital has joined hands with us to test as many as possible daily and we are spreading any knowledge back to each other.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:hot take: literally every single world government is absolutely loving the dog Morally Inept-style on this pandemic, and blaming any particular one is always going to be missing the forest for the trees Nah you can totally take individual countries to task for their treatment of things and also look at countries that are doing well. South Korea seems to be doing quite well; despite their dumb Christian cults drat near intentionally spreading things they test the gently caress out of people and have apparently managed well. Taiwan has done probably hands down the best because they got on poo poo super fast. Only recently did they pass 100 cases, and that's because about 60 of those came recently from overseas, still only 1 death, and they've now closed borders entirely to non-residents and *everyone* coming in need a well-enforced 14 day quarantine. US and UK on the other hand are just garbage at it so far and while they may get lucky and not have too many deaths it's real hard to tell now. Disco Pope posted:In the UK it feels like we're just sitting on a timebomb, although individuals seem to be taking it seriously. It's just dull dread waiting for the drop. Would not be at all surprised if this was true; it makes perfect sense and it's honestly a cultural practice that would do well to cut off hardcore in time like these.

Meanwhile, 1 town over from me: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9zdkTQJg0t/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet The virus is controlled by God! If your faith is strong enough, you won't get sick! It's clearly impossible that any of tens of thousands of people who have already died had faith!

Thermometers. Go to your local auto parts store and ask for the cheapest non-contact infrared thermometer. Probably a bunch on auto zone shelves because people don't realize it's a goddamn thermometer. Or rockauto, amazon, you know, anywhere else that sells thermometers for measuring exhaust pipe temps.

ugh, my idiot father, who's health is so poor he had to retire early from his desk job, has decided now's the time to come out of retirement and make some extra bux doing those lovely food delivery gigs. His immune system is compromised for like 5 different reasons at this point and he's a poo poo enough driver he should probably lose his license... rip dad, you always made terrible life decisions, but this one takes the cake

My local paper is celebrating the brave and heroic local pubs and shops that have pledged to stay open during the pandemic. I'm just glad my parents live in an isolated hamlet - unless they get it, then they won't have a ventilator.

Meat thermometers? I upped my game and jammed an immersion cooker up my rear end to get my temperature sous vide style - Way more accurate at lower temps. I'm running at 96.2 degrees and also went on a journey of personal discovery. Good pandemic so far, 5/5 stars.

Just get an indoor outdoor thermometer and cram the outdoor unit up your butt, it's not unreasonably large and now you can transmit your core temperature wirelessly all day!
