can you cite a link or a source or anything that shows that fomites are not a significant form of transmission?

because i'm pretty sure sanitizing door handles is a good thing to do. and packaging gets touched by a lot more people than you think before it gets in your hands.

like "make sure to sanitize your airline seat" is the standard line from experts, but consumer goods are somehow exempt? "packaging is nothing to worry about" seems more like an attempt to protect the retail transaction experience and not people's health.

Sanitizing door handles, public transit handles, etc is good because hundreds of people touch those throughout the day regularly. A can of beans or a package of chocolate chips-a-hoy or a pack of batteries at a store has probably only been touched by the one stocker the night before at 2am (if not longer), and maybe 1-2 indecisive people before you (and you can just grab the one that isnt in the front). like there's been no real indication that surface contact from grabbing a pack of M&Ms from Target is a big vector, especially if you have some diligence in handwashing.

postal packages are a bit iffy, it's a good idea not to bring the package inside and leave it outside, take the item out and wash your hands because the postal package has been probaly been handled a lot more. if you'r real concerned you can wipe the item off as well but generally it was probably only toucehd somewhere between 48 hrs to 100 hrs ago depending on how long it was in transit. amazon warehouses are disease factories and it ships quick so those you could err on the side of caution, but viral load will def have been decreased a lot in 48-hrs and it's extremely small, not zero, but low enough that i wouldn't lose sleep over if you forgot.

airline seats is purely performative, i mean sure wash the arm rest/tray because that poo poo is never cleaned, but as they said, your biggest risk is that you're in a tiny metal tube jammed with 100-300 people for 1-5hrs blowing partially recirculated air non-stop throughout the sardine can and justr injecting that poo poo straight into your respiratory system.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:

Sanitizing your airline seat isn't going to do poo poo because you're surrounded by hundreds of people for hours and there's no escape from breathing in their recycled exhalations. It's just propaganda to convince people they won't die from flying, but they will definitely die from flying. I've seen my last movie in a theater and flown on my last airplane. I'm at peace with it.

i mean you're right, through airplane vents tend to be more exhausting literally in your face or nearby (even if they're closed), and nearby people can just have their various expulsions pushed around in a smaller narrow tube even before it goes into the HVAC system for "filtration" (depending on well you trust airplanes to say their HEPA filters cleanse all virus particles or not). offices are usually a bit less direct hvac and have a massive taller and wider area (depends on where you are ofc).

Can we PLEASE make a cspam pinned post to remind people that the beautiful deregulated FDA that fast track rubber stamped the Abbott presidential approval level of effectiveness covid tester is the same FDA 'overseeing' the warp speed development of vaccines.

This is an incredibly serious threat to lives and the very fabric of modern society as the stage is set to throw science, medicine, federal oversight, and regulation all under the bus when this capitalism dressed up in the skinsuit of the FDA fails beyond your wildest nightmare.

Yeah, no way in hell am I going to take a vaccine they rush through for this until it's been approved in lots more places than the USA.

thanks. For me it's mainly about if I have to cough having it not go everywhere, but obviously a scarf only offers some protection against that. I'm very good at keeping distance and constantly sanitizing though. However I am kind of curious about products I buy at the store - someone else with the virus could have touched them previously, and there's really nothing I can do about that, right?

I just leave anything that doesn't need to go in the fridge in the garage for a couple of days (a closet would work if you don't have a garage) and wipe down anything that needs to be refrigerated before putting it in.

A backlog of Mother’s Day orders led to an altercation outside the East York Red Lobster on Mother’s Day. On Sunday, May 10, a video captured a few Red Lobster employees forcefully ushering a patron outside the restaurant’s main entrance. In the video, the customer demands a refund several times before swinging at an employee.

“I was assaulted and have a whole crowd to see it,” the customer said in the video, which was recorded by a bystander. Springettsbury Township Police responded to a 4:26 p.m. call at Red Lobster on Sunday, said Lt. Tony Beam.

As far as what kicked off the incident, Beam said that from watching the video, “She was upset because her food wasn’t ready. She wanted her money refunded.” Beam said that the restaurant was closed to patrons; only employees were allowed inside.

quote:

The New York Post reports:

The footage, shot by a bystander, shows an employee tossing the woman — who was not wearing a mask at the time — out of the restaurant. She tries to force her way back inside while screaming to get her “motherf–king” money back, video shows.

“I want my money refunded!” the woman says. “You will get it,” one employee replies, the video shows. “Let me show my bill to get my refund,” the woman repeats, prompting an employee to ask for her name.

She then identifies herself before reaching around a male employee and slapping the face of a female worker, setting off a scrum outside the restaurant, video shows.

Pretty much same, over a year ago I got a resturant date sticker dispenser to control leftovers and it never really took off.

I've since moved the dispenser to the garage, and tag everything with a sticker as I unload it



Maybe not everything, but perhaps the most prominent item in each box (I have a bunch of old liquor/beer cases that I use to hold bags of loose poo poo)

I mean, we are going to have to learn to live with this but that should mean stuff like mandating masks, realizing big groups won't be a thing anymore, anyone who can working from home, etc. Not just throwing up our hands and saying let er rip.

Unfortunately, with the government saying "let er rip" I think it's going to take a little while before this sinks in. I imagine that things going to look very different a month or so after stuff reopens, but that doesn't help people whose employers try to rush people back to their offices before the true situation becomes clear.

I guess as with people whose employers took a long time to switch to remote work at the beginning, I would suggest trying to stall by taking vacation time or something if necessary in the hopes that by the time that's over they will have given up.
