I live in a large city in Texas. I wore my respirator and safety goggles out for the first time Monday to get a free covid antibodies test as part of a research study. I think people were actively looking away from me, including masked and unmasked people. I overheard a little kid ask "Why is she wearing that?" and her mother responded "Why not? She's being careful."

I am nervous about wearing it to work once we're required to report back to the office, especially since people seemed to have a hard time understanding me with the respirator compared to when I go out with my vogmask. I'm aware of the Honeywell respirator with a speech valve, but I'm not convinced the speech valve sufficiently protects others from my aerosols--I put my hand under the valve and I feel my breathe flow right out! Covering the valve on the other hand would probably muffle my voice, defeating the purpose. My office is apparently planning on doing the pointless "mask off at your desk if you're vaccinated*, masks on everywhere else" as if our cubicles have aerosol-blocking properties...

* and of course, we're relying on the honors system to determine who's vaccinated or not..

It's not a problem if you never take your mask off. Can't give other people covid if you never catch it!

Holy crap this asynchronous cyber kindergarten our school district offers is terrible. We'd be better off homeschooling, but this is the only way we keep the option to switch to in person for the 2nd semester. gently caress this sucks as a parent.

I can't even find any specifics for COVID procedures for the elementary school and only district wide stuff. They mention a goal of 4-5 Air Changes an Hour, but has that happened already 8 days out from school starting? What will her classroom have and do they also have a HEPA purifier in the room? Will every adult she comes in contact with be vaccinated? What's the vaccination rate of the school staff? Super great having none of this info available.

I can't believe we're going to have to homeschool our kindergartner while everyone else is Open Biden and talking about how excited they are for school to start.

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

None of our institutions have failed us, the virus is now the subject instead of the object in every sentence. The virus is sentient, it is a learning computer. It has evolved the ability to use simple tools and read our languages. The virus is now ruthlessly attacking children and minorities. The virus is like a tiny little god, we are all helpless as to who it chooses next.

Came in to work this morning and heard someone in my area start coughing with a wet hacking cough. No one else in the area seemed to notice.

I called our HR manager who promptly sent someone up to escort the person out and told them to WFH. The HR manager told me this was a regular daily occurrence somewhere in the building. She said that earlier in the week she had someone complain about being sent home with a cough because “it’s not like it’s Covid or anything, I’m vaccinated.”

loving hell, people are stupid.

BRAKE FOR MOOSE posted:

Most kits use multiplex RT-PCR on several viral genes, so any given mutation is very unlikely to affect the accuracy.

This has also already been seen with alpha. It had mutations that evaded amplification of the Spike target (S-Gene target failure), but other targets worked fine. Because of this they were able to estimate alpha prevalence from RT-PCR test results when it was becoming dominant just by looking at the ratio of positive results with SGTF.

hahaha holy poo poo the director and deputy director of vaccine review at the FDA are both now leaving: https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/31/health/fda-vaccine-officials-step-down/index.html

no replacement announced so this was clearly unplanned or unexpected LMFAO

there is some serious, serious poo poo and problems brewing with the child vaccine approval I bet. i dunno which way it's going--if these were sticks in the mud holding it up, or if these guys were trying to bring up legitimate concerns. doesn't seem good either way!

this whole child vaccine approval saga has been hosed from top to bottom. just EUA it and let parents and pediatricians decide right now
