Don’t see them having kids, think it’s unlikely college will make sense when they’re of age. pretty much consider them doomed and my only solace is that they’ve had it really good so far You think India would nuke Pakistan first? I always imagined it would be a large conventional escalation until Pakistan panics and goes first.

lol i had an image of what the dude would look like, and he surpassed it easily also featured in the original news video - a stage 4 cancer survivor who goes to the bar because you gotta make your own choices - a lady saying she knows lots and lots of people, and none of them have caught the virus, so how bad can it really be?

stupid question: if you get the virus by breathing in the particles from someone else and the virus multiplies in your throat, why do they think food contamination won't make you sick if it's right in your fuckin mouth like if you touch a surface someone just coughed on and touched your mouth (or nose, eyes) isn't that basically the same action as eating

So serious question. I've been following this thread as I can but it moves far too fast to consume everything. How reliable are the drive-through tests that they do in Georgia? My 60 year old mother just texted me she got a positive result after going through on Tuesday but isn't feeling sick or anything. Not sure how worried I should be. I guess my step-father is going to go get one now so maybe wait and see what his result is? Just curious how worried I need to be given that I'm so far away I can't do anything but worry, lol.

If they don't have any symptoms they may just be asymptomatic but it's also possible it's a false positive. I'd tell her to quarantine herself and if she starts to feel sick then you could take action

Yeah, food and drinks are a big issue, while the virus doesn't persist for long-periods in UV light, but it can exist on cupware/silverware/portions of a deal that aren't directly cooked, especially in an indoor environment. It may not thrive on the burger patty or the fries, but it could easily be on the bun or coleslaw. No one gives a poo poo because the country is completely insane. People walking in the park with masks aren't at high risk, but the amount of risk you take shoot up the more you are indoors and start interacting with people/objects without a mask.

So I live in a capitol city and work at probably the largest thrift store in the area. I was out of work for about a month when all this kicked off, but have been back to work for weeks now under what I assume is some clause about "necessary upkeep" of the business. What have I been doing these past few weeks you may ask? Oh, you know, driving a box truck all over creation during a pandemic picking up people's filthy donations and then going through those filthy donations to see what's good enough for sale, etc. We're opening the store back up tomorrow. It's going to be insane because masks will be required for entry, and we will not be accepting cash payments, only cards. These two things are going to make a good half or more of our customer base lose their minds. The no cash thing is bad because I doubt half our customers even have bank accounts for any number of reasons, and NOBODY can read a sign. What is going to happen all day is people filling up carts with merch they just touched all over with their grubby mits, getting to checkout, and being told no. Now my people and I have to put back all the product you just touched all over. Then there's enforcing the mask rule and I don't have to go into why that's going to be a fiasco. Thrift people are already a twitchy lot, and this is going to throw some major fuel on some crazy fires.

COVID-420 posted:cspammers: please share your covid-life experiences! workers, i wanna hear what its like out there. there is a whole litany of disgusting grievances my wife has with qfc during these last few incredibly lovely months, but really the standout episode was when, due to rushing hires in order to keep up with pandemic-level demand for groceries, the store accidentally hired a convicted child rapist who immediately creeped on the underage temps and several other female employees, including my wife. the new pedo coworker told my wife about how having sex with a certain employee would be like loving a waterbed, and he, unprompted, told her that he knew where she lived because he saw her walking with her kids. you know, fun stuff like that. once my wife and other employees found an article about how he raped a disabled child, they flipped their poo poo and went to management, who fired him on the spot. the pedo shouted that he would be back the next day for work. when he came in for work the next day, management not only let it happen, they went on to chastise my wife and the other harassed employees for "rumormongering" and they were all ordered back to work. my wife hit her limit and walked out instead and a whole bunch of other employees followed her out and left them horrifically understaffed for the day. i'm skipping over a bunch of stuff but the end result was the pedo got fired, some management folks got transferred instead of fired (lol), and no one who walked out has experienced any retaliation so far, i'm assuming thanks to the union. haha just another day in the life of an underpaid essential worker

If foodborne or transmission over packages was common we would have contact traced cases that had a common cook or delivery person as the index case. This isn't happening anywhere across the globe. This is all the epidemiological evidence you need to know that if this style of transmission is possible, it's several orders of magnitude less likely than respiratory transmission.

Patient today was being seen for drug refills and a "spider bite." Spider bite in primary and emergency medicine usually means infected injection site. "Yeah, I got a spider bite there, no idea what happened." This is the reason that antibiotics are worth more than meth right now. So many people are using needles to shoot meth they're getting horrific cellulitis. Clindamycin is worth more than any drug right now. She hasn't been seen in 3 months when she first presented with the spider bite. She has citalopram on her med list so I'm preparing myself for her to ask me for pills. She's also due for a urine drug screen. This is going to be a nightmare. I walk in and she's a 60 yo WF in pink scrubs. "You're wearing scrubs too," I mention. "Yeah, I work for a living." She works home health as a CNA.. She's 60 but looks 80. Sounds like she's been smoking 2 packs a day since she was born. We go through her pills, nothing crazy. Get the refills lined up. Ask her about the spider bite. "Well, I just dressed it, but if you must." She starts unwrapping the coban from her ankle as she talks about how much she needs us to write her some more "healing cream." She starts talking about the infectious disease doctor she's seeing and how she tried to get home health to come see her because she doesn't want to go to wound care with this covid19 business but they said she can't get home health because she can't drive etc etc she mentions a brown recluse The coban is off and there 4x4 on her ankle. I slowly pull it off. There's a yellow thick cream she's applied to the wound. "That's the silvadyne they gave me. costs 75 bucks a bottle." As I pull the 4x4 away, a chunk of the cream comes with it. About 1 inch by a half inch. This was the part of the cream that was in the wound. It has solidified. It's about a quarter of an inch deep. I'm looking at her bone. This spider bite has eaten all the way down to her tibia. The flesh around is black. Necrotic. She doesn't need wound care. She's needs a surgeon. She's needs a total debridement and skin graft. "It hurts like hell," she says. I take off her shoe. Her toes are swollen, cold, and blue. I can barely feel a pulse. Smoking wrecks your immune response and your blood flow. Wounds don't heal. This brown recluse wound is so bad it's killing her venous return. So throw a vascular consult on it all. "I ain't going to crossville with all this covid19" I tell her she's going to lose her foot. Not like in the future or a few months from now but like soon. She just shrugs and tells me whatever. She refuses to quit smoking. We set her up for another consult after telling her home health will not come see her. Maybe she goes. On the way out she asks for some free samples of breo ellipta. it's an inhaler for COPD. The drug reps give us a bunch to pass out as samples, but we just give them out to people that can't afford their meds.
