My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

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.

Packaging gets touched by a lot of people in the chain but not by a lot of people the day or two before it reaches your door. It's not a thing where there is zero chance of transmission but you'd need somebody to have coughed/sneezed on it (or touched it after cough/sneezing in to thier hand) and then have you touch it and then have you touch your face before you wash your hands. There's no reason not to take simple precautions but it really seems, right now at least, like the biggest vector for this isn't packaging.

It's the same reason takeout/delivery is by all accounts fine as long as you wash your hands after touching the containers since if there is anything contagious that's where it would be.

Nah wasn't me, I don't touch the poo, only take breathtaking images of it. I forget who it is that is an actual physician or some such that was in here saying how when they switched to Abbott the positives went to loving 0 which should immediately scare the poo poo out of anyone when you were getting 20% positives routinely

So I guess what I'm asking is, where do we buy some goddamn tests?

I'm not currently working and most of my coworkers took a leave of absence or are quitting, so we're in a group chat together and the couple people still there update us on it

they had the water fountains wrapped up and out of order for a while, but now that the store has reopened (only a certain section of the store is accessible to customers, and only a few customers allowed in at any one time), they have to keep them covered so customers don't use them, but that means employees can't as well, and the company won't let them mark out bottled water for store use. so it's either bring your own, or drink bathroom sink water.

one of our elderly coworkers came back from a LoA today and then passed out because of dehydration

and they want to fully open the store, and let in more customers!! hahaha

this coworker has been in and out of the hospital the whole time I've worked there, she had surgeries and infections and poo poo. and now she's getting sent to the hospital in the middle of a pandemic bc she passed out at work bc they don't provide the employees with water.

love to see it

not only does she run the very real risk of getting sick and dying now, but if she comes back to work again while asymptomatic, she could pass it onto my coworkers

You know how a few weeks ago we had a lot of back and forth about whether coronavirus was “airborne” or not and we found that it’s mostly in droplet form but can sometimes go properly airborne in certain situations like during intubation?

Singing is one of those things that causes coronavirus to go properly airborne.
