ECMO is what they put a patient on when they need to perform open heart surgery and they try to limit the minutes spent on ECMO as much as possible due to complications.

I can't imagine being on ECMO because your lungs broke for three weeks is going to leave much upstairs even if you can technically breathe again.

that isn’t completely true - wife worked in the picu and there were kids on ECMO for extended periods of time for certain reasons, and a lot of them do just fine assuming the underlying cause is fixed

it's just hurricanes all the way down. we've been watching the hurricane of the delta surge lumber across the pacific from india to america in the last 4 months. it turns out it has been exactly as bad as expected, and will only get worse before it gets better! and now we have a real, real big hurricane about to slam a populated coast while all of the hospitals in the entire state and surrounding states are full or nearly full.

Soap Scum posted:

if anyone can get gradenko's attention [i don't have pms :( ] and point to this post, it would be hugely appreciated. my nurse friend in manila who has a congenital heart condition that makes her very scared of contracting covid is trying to get a more comfortable respirator than the 3M 6200 and i'm curious if he has advice on where is a reliable place to get something good/quickly/not price-gouged for someone there.

if anyone else reading this happens to be there too or somehow know anyway, also very appreciated. thanks all

I wear a 3M 6200 half-face respirator

I ordered it from Lazada - your friend probably knows what that is (and tell me if they don't, but I'd very surprised if they didn't). It's a bit of a pain to try and identify which stores are legit, but I looked for whatever had a lot of sold items already marked, and had user reviews showing that the item was legit, with pictures.

I checked this morning, and there are 3M 7500-series masks, as well as Honeywell models available, but I wouldn't really know which ones would be more comfortable for your friend.

Alternatively: my sister, who interns at one of our largest hospitals in the Philippines, uses this: https://www.totobobomask.com/

it's not P100-rated like a respirator, only up to an N95-equivalent, but at least I know the product is legit, if you don't want to take your chances on getting a bad item from Lazada.

Alternatively: there is a service I use - https://www.shippingcart.com/, that gives a person a P/O box address in the US, the UK, and Australia, and you can order whatever you like from those respective countries, target the shipping address to the P/O box, and you can pay another nominal shipping fee for it to be delivered right to your doorstep. This is going to be a bit more expensive, but again, if you can identify a completely legit supplier in the US, then you can order from them and pay for the shipping and be fairly confident that you'd be getting a good item. I've used to import all sorts of things, books, computer parts, jackets, even a very unfortunate SomethingAwful logo shirt. I'm still waiting on my buttons from empty whippet box to arrive through here.

I hope that helps, and if you want to reach me again directly, REDACTED.

I wonder whether there's any number of times or any degree of any of them which Joseph R. Biden can trip over his own decrepit dick before Blue MAGA will turn on him. I'm guessing the answer is "no".

Biden has no plan. His handlers aren't there to solve real problems for non-ghouls. They're there to keep the economy from stalling out, and that doesn't require New Orleans to exist. We'll get some platitudes, some meaningless, half-assed gestures, and not a whole lot more.

Climate change? That's a problem for tomorrow.

it's going to get so bad when mass deaths are happening everywhere and team blue has a breakdown about how to handle the criticism against them. i am 100% sure they will just lash out and fall back on, "JOE IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN WITH WHAT HE INHERITED FROM TRUMP! THIS IS ALL TRUMP'S FAULT! CRITICIZING JOE WILL JUST MAKE THINGS WORSE, SO SHUT UP!!"

that's all they are going to say and do. just smugly say, "we are doing the best we can and you should give us grace or it will be a LOT worse".
