I guess one concern with getting a third shot is how to handle the record of it. Let's say "fully vaccinated" evolves to mean 3 MRNA doses, and when places check your vaxx status they need to see that reflected on your card/digital wallet. What's the plan if you got an under the table third dose?
I will manually write-in the date of my 3rd shot onto my first legit card. bing bang boop

It was a handful that were announcing opposition to unilateral mandates from management.

School plan is out and the only flaw is indoor lunch. Spaced six feet in the cafeteria. Not sure what to do about this. I may put off solving it until Monday.

it seems like pack a lunch that can be eaten quickly so you can minimize the time spent with mask off. i wonder if wearing a face shield would be feasible or help too while eating

Hi, was directed here by the Seattle area LAN thread, had some questions about making sure I had the proper parts for my respirator setup.

I got these:
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/3m/HF-803SD/11487713
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/3m/D7N11/11487711

When they arrived and I realized they didn't work as is - they don't click into eachother. I called customer service, they told me I was missing this, so I ordered it:
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/3m/D701/11487724

So I'm waiting for that to arrive, but looking over things further, now I'm thinking I'm still dropping the ball somehow? Should I just forget trying to use the parts I have and buy other cartridges for the respirator, or is there a way not to waste the aceessories I already bought? For whatever I need to buy, are there any links to cartridges with filters recommended for both Covid and wildfire smoke that has the secure click attachment for the HF-803 sd? Thanks!
someone beat me to it, but i'm posting a reply anyways so if someone else needs the info, as this thread goes fast

here's the mask to buy,
https://www.zoro.com/3m-half-mask-respirator-silicone-gray-mask-size-l-hf-803sd/i/G5775543/
there's also M and S sizes

One think I hate thinking about is that we probably could have eliminated the virus entirely if we had locked down in June.

Daily New Cases in USA


look at how low we got it! there was barely any left! The vaccine had given the maximum amount of resistance it was going too, kids weren't at school, and there aren't any holidays in June. If we were like "lets loving buckle down and finish this poo poo, then we can celebrate like crazy on the 4th of July" and actually did contact tracing and every NPI we could think of it would be gone.

we could have done it

lmfao they're still doing extracurricular activities. remember last fall when we found all the sports being done outside school were huge spreaders? huh hopefully we learned from that... oh we didn't? oh well
this is all so loving stupid
will probably 'go on vacation' the first week of school so my kid can avoid the covid mines, just in time for them to decide 'oh this isn't safe' and go virtual again
then again they probably won't back down because the demands of number

I texted back that we were taking Delta fairly seriously now that we have a friend's 3 year old nephew on oxygen in a hospital in Austin and my vaccinated (j&j) father-in-law spent 2 weeks in the hospital with COVID at the end of July

By the way, if you've been sent back to the office and your county pulls one of these back-to-school attempts that crashes and burns in a week, send that news to whomever decides if you work form home or in the office. If school is virtual parents will need to be home to watch kids and it also shows it's not safe where you live. (it's not safe anywhere)

i absolutely hate all this half measure rules lawyering bullshit that we are doing to deal with the pandemic. the only thing we should ever be doing is all out total war "welding people in their houses, closing the airpoorts, checkpoints preventing any travel." the only possible end is zero new cases. this isn't going to be like the flu, it's too dangerous and has widespread outbreaks way too easily.

the issue is always going to be that we need to do it AFTER a big wave. crazy case numbers and seeing people coughing on street corners and overflowing hospitals and mass death is going to scare everyone with any sense inside, the government doesn't have to mandate that. the time when staying inside is hard but necessary and therefore needs to be enforced by society is after that, when cases dip way back down.

we're doing this so backwards. everything about this is so stupid. why is this nation so dumb

tbh i don't understand this response at all. are you saying that there are hordes of covid cases that are going unreported because they all died before they could get a test? or that there are tons of other festivals that are super spreaders but they aren't reported on? or simply that lolla produced tons of mild or asymptomatic cases that aren't being tracked?

the latter is what makes the most sense to me, and you ain't gonna catch me at any festivals any time soon because, well, possible brain damage. but it also seems like an outlier

maybe we just need to wait longer

it’s not 1:1 but you can only track the data you have and making assumptions about the data you don’t have or whether your data is complete will easily lead to misleading conclusions. the original tweet didn’t explain methodology so it’s hard to say what exactly they’re missing but the it appears the only information they have is that they know of 200 people that both had covid and also attended lollapalooza.

to be clear, i think that 200 cases from lollapalooza is total bullshit; it has to be much higher. but it also doesn't appear to be setting the chicagoland area on fire... at least not yet.
