Hey maybe someone can tell me why the hell urgent care clinics are so popular. They're everywhere and idiots love going to them, but they're more expensive and bound by no protective laws.

bill for going to an ER with a fever: 5-6,000 dollars
Urgent care: like $125-200

A lot of places don't have free clinics.

Guy knows all about not letting food rot, acts like classic food safety guidelines applies to novel coronavirus.

He warns that handwashing doesn’t work as well as you thought, never considering that soap will gently caress up a coronavirus membrane more readily than a bacterium’s

Paradoxically, rinsing food with plain water is enough, which I would agree with if the worst on it is a little dirt, but maybe let’s reevaluate when there’s a comically infectious plague on the loose.

I had never even rinsed my produce before if it didn’t look like it needed it, and I have never had cause to regret that (i.e. gotten food poisoning), but yeah I’ve changed my ways temporarily.

My doctor costs $100 even with no insurance though. Why would someone go to the ER with a fever?

I'm saying that there is nothing they are equipped to treat that can't be done in a doctor's office.

Yeah I mean the takeaways I got from that thread were

a) don't wash your food with soap it will make you sick and
b) the threat of coronavirus from food is negligible as long as you're washing your hands, which while it isn't perfect you should be doing before eating anyways

SCIENCE



It's been two weeks since Orange Leader declared a great, wonderful, tremendous emergency where we will very soon have drive-through testing stations at Wal-Mart and CVS sponsored by Google and Coca Cola or whatever the gently caress.

Has anyone seen any progress at all about this? Construction or news or Coming Soon signs or anything? The only thing I've seen that could be remotely related is a sign at my local CVS saying they will absolutely NOT have drive through testing.

Bananas, citrus, and mangoes get peeled. Apples I’m pretty sure wouldn’t retain enough soap to hurt me, but whatever, they can sit on the counter for a few days, like potatoes (which I do think would hold too much soap).

I’m not eating anything that both needs refrigeration and is eaten raw, like lettuce.

You should buy a UV-c lamp to sterilize all your produce. Which without bothering to check i'm going to assume are sold out and backordered to 2022 everywhere now.

IMPORTANT

Hospitals can and do frequently turn people away who need medical treatment. I know several people who were turned away from multiple hospitals for not having insurance, one of which was in kidney failure. The hospital told her her kidneys were failing, but since she had no insurance they wouldn't test to find out why, so now instead of having cured her treatable kidney failure, she's waiting on the transplant list.

Hospitals are just corporations, and they don't have any legal obligation to treat you. One of them is floating the idea of giving everyone with Coronavirus an involuntary DNR.

The efficacy of CPR on corona cases that code is low, and there are no vents to put people on after they are brought back was my understanding of why the DNR is put in place.
