We have temperature checks at my work as well, except for when I show up to work, because the person is on lunch break then, so we just don't do them for that time period. So not super effective I guess.

There Bias Two posted:The protests and reopenings are going to seed massive spikes across the country in the next 2-3 weeks, and that doesn't seem to be part of the discussion anywhere. It feels like we're fully in the "covid is totally over" denial phase. These protests will end up killing more black people than the police ever could. Police kill about 200 black people a year (some justified, some not), covid has killed about 25,000 black people so far in 3 months. What a chaotic situation.

My wife's co-worker just tested positive. My wife's work had the extremely loving stupid policy of "everyone comes into the office until someone gets it". I'm un-surprised by the outcome and loving pissed off at her management. My son has extremely severe asthma and I am very worried.

I haven't heard anything claiming it to be a bacterium, but I can understand how some people might be confused - pneumonia often follows influenza when the immune system is wrecked by the virus (influenza) and staph (bacteria) overwhelm the lungs as a secondary infection due to the immune system being too shot to do anything about it. There are two forms of pneumonia vaccines that work by strengthening the immune response to staph, but obviously these vaccines can't do anything about covid.

I wear the 3M P100 full face daily. It will protect you against covid and teargas. The M50 is purpose built to be knocked around more without breaking the seal around your face, and the filters are rated for nuclear fallout. It's also much less comfortable IMO. The 3M is the better choice as they are made for civilians to do daily work in and have nice soft silicone. The M50 was built as more of a "life or death" thing and has hard rubber. One practical advantage of the M50 is you can drink fluids without taking it off, and they can have powered voice amplifiers attached where the 3M is only passive.

I've learned to immediately search any news article I read for the actual source of information. News (internet news anyway) has just become a game of telephone where sites copy directly from other sites, so a quick scan will usually show you where they actually got the "information" from. If it ever says some poo poo like "a source close to us says" or "a tip from this mommy blogger" you can safely discard it as bullshit.

Today the terraces of café's are opening up again, so this afternoon I could have a nice cup of coffee during my bicycle tour in the countryside. The one I visited had spread out its tables and chairs over the village green, so plenty of space in between. Everyone looked happy.

Mds2, your son will probably be fine. Everyone else, please don’t willingly expose your children to the virus with the idea that they’re invincible. They’re not. They are less imperilled than grandma is, but do you really want your kid to be the guinea pig for this exciting new disease?
