my job basically only does no-contact services if the customer wants, never stopped sending people into customer's homes, and provided no masks until yesterday, and it was a single surgical mask we were told to reuse.

i don't think they are taking this seriously.

If someone is admitted and treated for less than a week, I don't think it's possible for a test to show negative unless the tests are faulty - the body can't clear the virus that fast

Good news - most of the tests are faulty!

yes, i think a lot of the tests are faulty

i don't know how long they kept him in the hospital the first time

drat I kinda feel happy to live in New Jersey now, even though I lost both of my grandparents to the virus (one survived the virus but was so weakened by the ordeal he went into hospice.)

Bergen county has been very serious about the lockdown and I think that’s why our numbers of new cases have significantly declined from the highs we had in April. but then I saw the video of all the chuds out at the boardwalk, and I feel like it’s only a matter of time before it comes back.

we seriously need to build a wall at the raritan river to block off the southern chudlands of Jersey

In a perfect world where all the tests worked, you'd probably want a patient to test negative for active COVID and also positive for antibodies before their release

I wonder how quickly insurers are pressuring hospital administrators to shuffle COVID patients out of facilities once they're stable

My wife's job doesn't know when they're going to reopen. They said June 1 for the longest time, then sent out an email Friday at 6 saying that was under review. But they are still expected to come back for outdoor team building tomorrow for one day. Or as I call it "you can have little a infection, as a treat"

quote:

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Sunday admitted that the Trump administration’s so-called “Warp Speed” vaccine effort could produce hundreds of millions of doses that are neither safe nor effective.

Azar made the remarks during an appearance on Face the Nation with host Margaret Brennan.

“Is the pledge 300 million Americans will be able to get a shot in their arm by the end of the year?” Brennan asked.

“That’s a goal,” Azar explained. “What happened is these drug companies and vaccine makers said it’s all going to take this amount of time because they’re using their traditional approaches.”

“The president said that’s not acceptable,” he continued. “We’re going to scale up commercial manufacturing and produce hundreds of millions of doses at risk. They may not pan out, they may not prove to be safe and effective but we’ll have it so we can begin administration right away.”

It really is amazing just how terrible the US is at testing. The rest of the world has had fairly reliable tests since February and we're stuck with the president's son in law's friend's company that may or may not have had a surplus of fun dip and just made some tests out of that.

I would love to know if my symptoms were covid so I could get studied or at least feel less anxious about my wife going back to work for little bits or deciding she's getting bored and wants something special for dinner so it's time to go to the store.

It's legit going to end my marriage lol

thurston howell iii was a terrible, terrible person but at least he was a good man. he was actually capable of love, compassion and on more than one occasion charity for charity's sake. he was able to work with others and was competent in both his very evil business practices and the more practical day to day island life.
while he was a spoiled, rich, entitled, evil rear end in a top hat but at least there was actually another side of him.
in other words he was better than trump in every single way.

I mean they're probably going to rush approval and gently caress it up and maybe there will be tons of adverse events or it won't be effective, but my point is that I don't think he's literally saying what you think he's saying.

We aggressively locked down, you piece of poo poo. Also some of those counties have barely any people and any cases were transfered to larger facilities.

It's great how Chuds use a low death rate to justify the logic that the lockdown and social distancing emergency order wasn't needed.

so i mentioned a few days ago about my wife going back to work and getting the store ready and stuff. Well it turned out all those shifts were supposed to be voluntary per corporate instructions but her store manager decided to leave that part out when passing on instructions

my wife found out by walking in to the office area to get supplies while the manager was discussing it with his assistant managers and she was like "what the gently caress" and they asked her not to tell anyone

She immediately told everyone else about that bullshit, which led to several people going "hey gently caress you" and quitting on the spot while a couple others are mulling it over. The manager tried to blame her for it and she asked me if she did the right thing and I said "uh yes. That is dangerous poo poo because it means he's willing to conceal information. What happens if someone gets the virus, will he try to hide that too while asking everyone to still come to work?"

your wife owns, gently caress them

I owned myself! I am usually pretty good about just Reading and Never Posting, but someone talking about how the CDC said the Roni was here in November and peopled died from it, and also 1 out of 3 people already have it, and I kind of just snapped.
