Just went to go do some shopping for the lady in a chair in my apartment building. Shits been pretty hard for her at the shops so I've been picking it up for her instead to make life a little easier.

Today is lovely outside so it was a pleasant walk right up until I got to the shopping centre. Lifting the restrictions slightly here has opened the floodgates. Wall to wall people everywhere and queues of cars to get into the parking lot.

Noped right the gently caress out of there and will try again when they open tomorrow. There was not a single mask in sight either, just everyone wanting to die.

It's stupid because shops are still supposed to be enforcing the distance and customer number restrictions but apparently no-one is making sure they do (or, more importantly, fining them when they don't). Meanwhile police were parked in the carpark of one of our local reserves the other day to make sure no-one so much as parked their car there, let alone stepped on the grass.

This is why the "we can reopen everything safely" chud talking point is bullshit, people only have a limited capacity for vigilance even when they're not being spiteful about disease control measures.

I had to go into the office to pick up some mail and basically everyone was wearing masks, other than the people in the Hasidic Jewish area and joggers. The joggers need to breathe deep apparently...

People overall certainly seem to be taking it more seriously than they did a few weeks ago where I saw fewer masks on the street. This is Brooklyn btw.

Apparently no-one was listening when authorities here said that lifting restrictions would only work if people continued social distancing and frequent handwashing/sanitising.

I saw a few people wearing masks the other day, but not nearly as many as a couple of weeks ago. I doubt that most people could tell you exactly how the restrictions have changed and the media isn't doing much to remind everyone that most are still in force.

Want some COVID hot goss straight from the ICU?

I talked to an ICU PA tonight, and there's a theory going around that the reason COVID patients on ventilators are dying at a documented 80%+ rate might be because the vents are possibly initiating or worsening cytokine storms. Unlike the usual ARDS where you can use high pressure to push back against the transudate in the alveoli, for COVID there's no spill over, instead it's interstitial edema causing swelling and decreased blood perfusion. So the V/Q mismatch is more Q than V, so venting patients with crazy high pressures does dick all since there's no blood around to actually carry the O2 to tissues, and all that pressure from the vent causes further injury and worsening of outcomes. Oops!

I don't even want to think of the number of patients we sent to get vented early because that's the standard of care for ARDS.

My chief resident buddy was running a COVID vent farm a couple weeks back and he said he was "running a mortuary." Yep.
I thought they figured out last month that the ventilators on high pressure settings might have been doing more harm than good?

Do we know if these are legit? The FDA just banned a whole bunch of KN95s from import for not working properly.

The CDC has a list of test results here for various masks: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/respirators/testing/NonNIOSHresults.html

Some are good, others are terrible, the problem is figuring out who the actual manufacturer is of the mask you're buying.
