Re: covid risk while lining up at a vaccine hub in Australia

genericnick posted:

I mean it's about as risky as going out to do your chores in any European city. Not without any risk of course, but still not that worrisome.

The situation on the ground in Australia is actually way way less risky than in pretty much every European country, it's just that Australia is yelling a lot louder about our cases


https://ourworldindata.org/explorer...NOR~FIN~SVN~NZL

The per capita rate of cases in Switzerland, Greece and France is currently about 10 times higher than Australia, UK is 15 times higher. And the rate in New Zealand is roughly 1/6 of Australia

yeah just more expensive and fussy to produce in big quantity i imagine. if i'm going to the store and such i barely have to speak to anyone so no real need for it. but at work or school it might not be a bad option

the only clear window masks i've seen on people actually at work (cashiers) were all just hopelessly fogged up and looked like a terrarium though. i dunno how useful they are for extended time

my wife uses this mask while teaching her preschoolers, some of whom are speech-delayed, and it works as advertised - doesn't fog, allows the kids to see her mouth as she forms sounds, and so far, keeps the covid away.

It's just the latest in a long long parade of arguments going "Okay we could be proactive and put effort into preventing things getting worse, but on the other hand if we just did nothing at all maybe things would get better all on their own?" aka "BUT I DON'T WANNA!"

- We stopped the flights, the virus won't get in
- We got 15 cases but by this time next week they'll be down to zero
- The virus will disappear in the warmer weather
- Only the elderly and obese get really sick, for everyone else it's just the flu
- The elderly are all vaxxed, kids can't catch it and all adults have access to the vaccine, it's down to personal choice
- Maybe we're at herd immunity already?
- Cases might be up but hospitalizations & deaths are staying down
- It's endemic, we just have to learn to live with it

"A former state Health Department official said that prior to a briefing on March 17, 2020, Cuomo made sexual innuendos to her while she was attempting to prepare him to receive an on-camera Covid test. And during the event, Cuomo commented on the personal protective equipment she was wearing, telling her “you make that gown look good.”

The woman told investigators that she found the comments offensive and believed Cuomo would not have treated a man the same way."

I think after all the 2nd moderna/pfizer shots you're starting to approach max immunity around 2 weeks after the shot.

On many planes they don't allow respirators (outflow valves not allowed), on united for sure and I think American too. I flew to Denver and back on Thursday and Friday, wearing a hardware store n95 mask. I put it on before getting into the airport, pulled it down for the TSA guy who was in a glass box, and didn't take it off to eat, drink or for any other reason until I left the airport, both times.

Then when you get to Alabama, if it's anything like Denver, you will feel like a complete nerd and very weird/out of place because literally nobody will be wearing a mask. I don't really know what to say about that other than, don't take it off.

Some goon had 2 shots as part of the trail and then another 2 as part of the regular EUA

It seems like after #3 you should wait to let your titers max out, which theoretically could take months - not sure if a 4th shot soon after the 3rd would interfere with the antibody response.

I think a goon said a couple days ago he had to get a 4th shot through his work clinic this week since he lied to his employer about his initial series so he could get the boost, and they automatically scheduled him for 2 shots.

oregon just made an outdoor mask mandate: https://www.oregon.gov/newsroom/Pages/NewsDetail.aspx?newsid=64307

quote:

Salem, OR—Governor Kate Brown today announced new statewide outdoor mask requirements to help stop the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant. Effective Friday, August 27, masks will be required in most public outdoor settings, including large outdoor events, where physical distancing is not possible, and regardless of vaccination status. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) also strongly recommends masking for outdoor gatherings at private residences when individuals from different households do not consistently maintain physical distance.
