God damnit I just figured out that there’s a proud boy rally scheduled for the day and approximate location I set my booster appointment up for, so now I have to cancel because there’s no way I’m walking around near that by myself in a respirator.

I’m pretty annoyed that the fascists macing people is standing in between me and my plague juice. It’s not that I care about moving an appointment, I have absolutely nothing going on anyway, but I am annoyed that these are the kinds of problems you can have now.

What are the goon approved supplies for KN95 and N95 masks?


Also, what's that leaked CDC slide in the OP mean? That Delta is transmissible to vaccinated people as regular COVID is to unvaccinated people?

I use a couple 3M models as my usual disposable masks, 9502+ and Aura 9205+.

The 9205 is a kn95 style mask with nice cloth covered elastic straps. https://www.magidglove.com/ used to sell them for $38 for 50, but they're out of stock now. Not sure where to get them now, sorry.

9205 Aura masks are kf94 style, and are pretty nice. There's a layer of foam along the nose to help make a tight seal, and the rest of the mask feels pretty good. Except the head straps, they're just basic rubber bands. Seems pretty weird for being a premium mask. I'm thinking about getting some cloth covered elastic straps and stapling them on to replace these rubber straps. These are easy to find in smaller packs for about $2/ea, or in huge cases for about $1/ea. Home depot has the 10 packs for $20 if you want to try them out.

Edit: Yes, being vaccinated reduces your chances of a bad outcome from getting covid. You can still absolutely catch and spread covid after being vaccinated. This has been known since the vaccine trials finished last year. The CDC has been lying to you.

Outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in influenza versus COVID-19 during the first wave of COVID-19

First published: 09 August 2021


Purpose

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a refractory treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, also referred to as coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]). We conducted this study to compare the outcomes of influenza patients treated with veno-venous-ECMO (VV-ECMO) to COVID-19 patients treated with VV-ECMO, during the first wave of COVID-19.

Results

A total of 28 COVID-19 patients and 17 influenza patients were identified and included. ECMO survival rates were 68% (19/28) in COVID-19 patients and 94% (16/17) in influenza patients (p = .04). Thirty days survival rates after ECMO decannulation were 54% (15/28) in COVID-19 patients and 76% (13/17) in influenza patients (p = .13). COVID-19 patients spent a longer time on ECMO compared to flu patients (21 vs. 12 days; p = .025), and more COVID-19 patients (26/28 vs. 2/17) were on immunomodulatory therapy before ECMO initiation (p < .001). COVID-19 patients had higher rates of new infections during ECMO (50% vs. 18%; p = .03) and bacterial pneumonia (36% vs. 6%; p = .024).

Conclusions

COVID-19 patients who were treated in our institution with VV-ECMO had statistically lower ECMO survival rates than influenza patients. It is possible that COVID-19 immunomodulation therapies may increase the risk of other superimposed infections.

36% of all COVID patients having bacterial pneumonia is high as gently caress - and it sounds like the oxygen therapy just makes them more likely to get it in a hospital setting

It’s true that some cases have been reported after quarantine, but that doesn't change the fact that infection rates in the broader community have remained exceedingly low. The government has failed to adapt its policy to return closer to normalcy, and hasn't communicated any comprehensive or transparent plans that lay out the pros and cons of its interventions. This approach skews perceptions and provides the wrong incentives. As a result, people have avoided getting vaccinated and shrug off social responsibility, while the burden of protecting the unvaccinated is borne by the individuals who are masking, testing and getting shots.

the strong border enforcement is too strong because there aren't any new cases, so they should make it weaker so that there are some cases. also the people in the country living normally are bad and complacent because what if there was an outbreak!?? in this thesis i will talk about why i'm mad that i have to quarantine for 21 days before getting to do a rich person vacation in hong kong.

If you're paranoid enough that a lockdown is successful, people get complacent and won't get the vaccine.

But you can't stay shut-off from the world forever, and covid is going to be endemic, so you're just destroying your economy for nothing.

what sort of brain worms are writhing around inside the minds of all these unbelievably stupid people who see a working solution and immediately think "that is working too well, we need to make it worse for some inexplicable reason." it's like value engineering but for a loving pandemic.

completely putting out the fire is very wasteful, lets just put out like 90% of the fire and then save the rest of the water for other fires (or maybe we can sell it). oh no the house is on fire again!? well then this is all impossible, everything is impossible
