Didn't Florida recently change its reporting process to report deaths on the day they occurred, rather than the day the deaths were reported, making it so that the stats always show a dip in the last few days, because death reporting isn't instantaneous but rather takes a few days?

iirc it takes a few weeks, not days

florida also likes to do this fun thing where they report weekly deaths, but the new weekly count doesn't match the new total count. last week they reported 108 deaths for the week but the total deaths somehow went up by 1,071??

Yeah there are stringent requirements for using n95s (annual fit testing and medical clearance) all mandated by OSHA regulation. Frankly I'm not sure how they could deny someone using it in an work activity that doesn't require it and thus not subject to OSHA regs. It's not like meeting the requirements would be difficult, it's just that they most certainly don't have any experience in doing it and the paradoxical liability of trying to figure it out and failing at it instead of just giving you no protection and letting you die to roni.

It's why there was such a stupid crisis early on where hospitals were refusing to allow staff to use their own masks or respirators. The letter of the law with OSHA is that it has to be supplied by the employer so they'd rather risk you getting covid from lack of ppe on their part than risk running afoul of OSHA by letting you use your own.

The first TB patient I picked up for a hospital transfer we rocked up to the floor and the nurse was like "what mask size do you need?" We're all, "oh I dunno maybe a large?"

Nurse: aren't you fit tested?

EMTs working for a private company: what tested? lol no

Did the transfer wearing whatever mask size felt right will all the windows down and got TB tests after. I love america.

Yeah, the thing is, I was diagnosed with heart failure a few weeks before I turned 32. So, my medical bills have been pretty big (last I checked, my insurance company had paid out around $300k, under great protest), and my insurance company has been fighting me every step of the way, even when it costs them more in the end because I refused to give up fighting them on poo poo.

Anyway, there's a chance I could need a transplant at some point. If my insurance company thought there was even a chance that I'm immunocompromised, I have no doubt that they'd be doing their best to get me kicked off the transplant list.

When I was a 19 y/o college student, I would drive from one convenience store to the next trying to buy a case of Busch. If they tried to card me, I would pat my pockets, say "oops I left it in the car" and drive off to the next. Usually within 5 trips I would get lucky.

On her way home, she got an email that she'll need to do hybrid teaching starting tomorrow as one of her students that was in class today will now be quarantining.

I'm sure the school has a robust and well-provisioned IT department to deal with 20 new classes having to go hybrid every other day lmao

Yeah my old job I got pulled into the managers office and she was telling about the state did contact tracing for an outpatient we did an mri on like 2 weeks ago that was actually positive for active TB at the time and I got a whole packet from the state and an order to get tested for TB if I wanted. I didn't bother since I'm tested annually and I wasn't even involved with the patient so it wasn't necessary. Still, I can't stop thinking about how we've had a century of hard learned experience with highly infectious airborne disease with TB and it all just got memory holed for covid because it's economically inconvenient.
