Would you know where to find spare parts? I'm trying to find a 805015 splash cover for my RU8500.

those kind of things are loving hard to find if you're not doing a special order for 100 units through grainger or uline. I lost the link, but there's a little community making 3d printed respirator parts like exhaust valve covers and diy papr systems. if you can find an exhaust diverter that fits the 7700 model, it will fit on the RU8500's exhaust port, because both models use the same exhaust port.

I work for a hospital chain but they're enforcing rules so she can't just say "yeah, I'm on remicaid, gimme them shots"

Forums irony aside

I am incredibly pissed off at how this was pushed as a permanent solution and the way the CDC (in the wake of lovely consumer numbers) pushed the "the pandemic is over for immunized people and liars" back in May.

Anyone with half a loving brain who has ever had kids or ever lived through a disease outbreak knew how this would turn out. It was transparently dumb from day one.

there is every indication that this delta wave is going to the worst we've seen, and it's still summer, which should be the worst time of year for a respiratory disease to spread. then, we'll be back into winter with all the family holidays and travel that drove the massive covid wave last winter.

right now will probably be the safest time to get a booster until next spring, everyone reading this thread in the US should be getting one asap.

They did what they had to do, it's time for their cookie, and they are absolutely going to eat that cookie no matter what it costs, and gently caress you if you question them.

I'm less than 4 months out from my second shot. I work from home, wear n95 masks, and stay away from folks. I'm down for 6 months out, but less than 4 sounds like a lot.

Alright HCWs who got vaxxed in January listen up, your vax doesn't work for poo poo anymore and it's the Delta wave so this is the worst situation imaginable to be in without a booster.

So you can get one in four to eight weeks.

Get the gently caress outta here.

Found that out the hard way. Vaxxed at the hospital I was interning at in Jan. Currently sitting here struggling with shortness of breath and constantly monitoring myself with a pulse oximeter to make sure I don't need to try and find a hospital bed in Texas (lmao). I'm wondering if I should coast on the antibodies from this for a short while and then get the booster, or if I should just go for the booster right out the gate. Trying to be strategic about maximizing my protection. Already signing my wife up for her booster.
