Perhaps we were wrong to believe we could defeat the virus by evading it, outsmarting it. Perhaps the correct way is to confront it head-on, like warriors.

Too bad you can't bravely minigun down fleeing COVID from a helicopter like in the honorable war in Afghanistan

So let me be an idiot looking for information for a moment.
I was trying to show a peer how China is doing well. They don't believe because every country puts propaganda out and China's history of abuse and control...how or where do I go to show that this data we are seeing from China is legit?

Girlfriend has been orienting in PACU at her new job.

She just got a message from the director of surgery that they’re going to start “redeploying orientees to different units.” Shes furious.

Sounds like another hospital is shutting down elective procedures.

You say that like that would change something. These wingnuts are so caught up in their fantasies that they could watch a hale, 20-something person die and sit with them as the corpse cools and still go to Facebook and post about "comorbidities" after stopping on their way home for more :horsedrugs:.

the "best" (worst) part of this is there's nothing that can be done anymore.

It's too late for vaccination, there aren't meaningful therapeutics, its everywhere and the die is pretty much cast. Reaper gonna get his due.

one thing with language learning is to avoid the trap of constantly finding new tools and also making sure you are getting actual skills and not just the dopamine hit of making your duolingo streaks or whatever. keep laser focused on your goal which should be to consume native content as soon as possible because that’s where you really start to learn for real.

1) quoted in the first post under PPE

2) the 3M 6200 looks like its moulded plastic style; your friend should try a silicon 1/2 mask like 3M's secure click or Honeywell's RU8500 series. ive worn mine (RU8500) for 4+ hours at a time with no discomfort

make sure to reference the sizing chart to make sure that your friend is getting a mask that fits properly, too.

gradenko_2000 posted:

there are two pairs of straps on the 3M 6200 that adjusts how tight the face-fit is. you can tell her to try loosening them, as long as it still passes a seal test it should be fine

My large hospital system in upstate NY is starting to limit elective surgery that requires hospital admission.

*it's happening*

An email was also sent to the physician staff only that was a very long winded ramble about being kind to each other, having patience with others, and that our official position is evidenced based medicine so ivermectin shouldn't be prescribed for covid lamo

they've had to start chlorinating water again in central florida because the oxygen they would have used to purify water is diverted to hospitals which are already on their last legs. two days ago 68 hospitals in florida had enough oxygen on hand to last around 48 hours. they have received more patients and shipments of oxygen are not flowing very well because there's a shortage of truckers due to them dying from covid or getting different jobs that exploit them less.

Boise hospitals are all apparently on the brink of total collapse because of staffing issues.

Northern Idaho has collapsed as far as I know outside of maybe Moscow.

Much like your average white supremacist, the only thing Americans have to be proud of anymore is an accident of birth. Most people don't have poo poo, haven't accomplished poo poo, and won't be poo poo for the rest of their lives. Their pride revolves entirely around being American and they would rather die than give up that umbrella and face self-examination.
