You joke but if objective reality and trying to be reasonable with your roomie isn't working it might be time to just go all out rear end in a top hat like this. Got a Bluetooth speaker? Put it somewhere they can't get to and play the sound of a respirator running on loop all night long.

As a HCP you should probably tell her that you are the single biggest risk of COVID and you don't want to get her friends killed.

just say you tested positive at work and that she has to inform anyone of this who comes through or she's liable (which is probably not true since we live in hellworld but she won't know) i don't think you'll have any house guests anytime soon and then you can just say it was a rapid test false positive and if she's not a total sociopath maybe she'll take away that risky poo poo isn't cool to force on someone else no matter what dumb carpe diem poo poo you tell yourself

And so far the findings have been promising for parents and researchers alike. so statistically they should survive? still big yikes e: this part also not so good quote:It is important to remember that we simply do not know the long-term consequences of COVID-19, Ferraro says. This ignorance is evident in a number of cases in which youngsters initially became mildly sick with the disease and later developed a potentially life-threatening condition known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C, in which various organs become inflamed. Although this phenomenon has mostly occurred in children older than one, Mithal argues that it is too early to tell whether infants can develop it or not. zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jul 18, 2020 |

Hopper posted:Swedes have a right to 4 weeks of uninterrupted holiday in the summer and they do take it. Like entire police stations just shut down for 4 weeks in summer. So basically a lot of Swedes don't go to work and bug out to grandma's red cottage in the lonely woods every summer, Covid or not. And their summer is basically late June to early August, so right now many people are on holiday. I would assume that in itself slows down spread. Facebook Aunt posted:Too many people died. There was little to no economic benefit to keeping everything open. Pennywise the Frown posted:The governor here can't do a god drat thing. The entire state is beholden to the GOP legislature. They already banned him from closing anything down. All he's been doing is pleading for people to wear masks, don't go out, and maintain social distancing. He has absolutely no power. He is a classic Wisconsinite and has been respectful and hasn't gotten dirty or gone blaming the republicans or anything. He's just like "my hands are tied so I'm just going to do my best."

Marchofthepenguins posted:I'm just tired. My roommate insists on inviting people to come inside our house despite the rules. Doesn't matter how many times I talk about the risk I pose to her (I work in health care), the risk she poses to me, why the rules need to apply to everyone. She just says she wants to "live her life," and if I was so worried about spreading things to my patients that I should live alone. Her friend is coming over in a few weeks, I think I may just have to live like a hobo in my car for a few days. If you have a private bedroom there is no reason to sleep in your car. Don't let idiots put you out of your home. Consider the common areas of the apartment a "public" place: wear a mask, avoid close contact, maintain hygiene standards.

I have not been keeping up with the thread for a couple of weeks; got too depressing, but I do have a question that keeps coming up. What is the rate of hospitalization for confirmed cases? Early on it was somewhere between 10-20% Any updated stats for that? Also, I have posted my rural health district details a couple of times early on. Remote area, covid was slow to get here. Well it is here now. We had about 77 cases 10 weeks ago, we now have 1,130. Five county health district in north Idaho. https://panhandlehealthdistrict.org/covid-19/

Unfortunately, data can be noisy, incorrect, delayed, and otherwise wrong. While on average, we believe the data to be correct, there are times when an errant datapoint throws the model off. Please let us know if you see an instance of this. though i guess Georgia is now going to really throw off the metrics for that state with their fuckery

And then cough all over their food and say that I'm just living my life. It's funny, when I told her that one of the doctors on my floor had tested positive, she got all anxious and got a bunch of bleach and started telling me to wipe down the kitchen and bathroom after I used them. But still doesn't blink about at having her friend and her parents travel across the state to hang out at the exact moment when infections here are rising because of idiots traveling across the state to hang out. At this point I don't think there's any reasoning with her and I just gotta do what I have to in order to protect myself/my contacts/her careless, careless tuckus.

Melbourne Australia has a compulsory mask rule that comes into effect Wednesday 11:59pm, anyone out in public caught without a mask will receive a $200 finequote:If you live in metro Melbourne or Mitchell Shire and you need to leave home for one of the four essential reasons, you must have a covering over your mouth and nose. Can't wait to see how many dumb excuses people will be trying out because they think it fulfills the "or if it's just not practical" exception, and how many people try to brandish a laminated HIPAA exemption card because they read about it on the internet

So how long until the US hits 100k recorded new infections a day? Things have to plateau at some point, but hopefully before there's no one left uninfected in outbreak zones. We were ~20k/day in early June, so if the US fails to control things (likely), by the end of August at the latest? Will be disturbingly fascinating to see just how much school reopenings an colder weather amplify things...Enfys posted:whu...I didn't make this post  You may have had it first, as I recall thinking when I bought it that I'd seen someone using it online, but didn't stumble across you when I did a cursory search on SA.
