There is exactly as much evidence the US did it as China did it. Fort Bragg & the Wuhan lab both had some form of airborne disease leaked into the public, neither appear to have been Covid or have actually spread. Both countries participated in the Wuhan WMG 2019. The WMG 2019 is becoming more accepted as the first super spreader event as it accounts for the outbreaks in Iran & Italy.

My personal theory is that COVID existed in one of the wet/exotic meat markets, and the super meathead types participating in WMG 2019 likely took trips to eat exotic meats there for strength and big dick power.

lol remember how states were competitively bidding on PPE and whichever governor was able to steal enough money from schools or safety net systems to give to MiddleManCo to get enough masks for their healthcare workers would get them? And the the feds were just stealing them and giving them to Florida anyway. Well now that's being done for healthcare professionals. all the states are desperately trying to lure nurses and doctors away from other states, who also already don't have enough nurses and doctors.

Biden is doing literally the exact same thing as Trump was except is being quiet and calm about it instead of being the worlds loudest idiot lmao

Could my employer forbid me from wearing a respirator? What do I do if my employer attempt to strong arm me into not wearing one in some way?

Cal OSHA has some special covid rules, if you're in california. https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/ETS.html

quote:

Employers may not retaliate against employees for wearing face coverings.

quote:

(G) No employer shall prevent any employee from wearing a face covering when not required by this section, unless it would create a safety hazard, such as interfering with the safe operation of equipment.

lol, they also require employers to offer respirators (not elastomeric respirators) to employees that request them.

quote:

Q: What is an employer’s obligation to provide respirators?

A: An employer must provide respirators in two scenarios: (1) to any unvaccinated employee who works with others indoors or in a vehicle and who requests one and (2) where there is a major outbreak, to any employees in the exposed group for voluntary use. The respirator must be the right size, and the employee must receive basic instruction on how to get a good “seal,” or fit.

That's the China theory - the Chinese lab was studying it from a local meat market, and purposefully set it loose at the WMG '19.

US leaked, Chinese leaked, & meat market accident or any combo of probably has no impact on our ability to stop the fucker now.

I own that honeywell with a speech diaphragm, the ru8500. it is NOT a vent, all the speech diaphragms are taunt pieces of plastic that vibrates like a drum head from your voice. i definitely still sound muffled, but it's more like comparing Bane speaking to the TF2 pyro.

I'd suggest getting a HF800 from zoro if you want a speech diaphragm, my RU8500 is the least comfortable of the 3 respirators I own, and it doesn't fit my face as well as the honeywell 7700 or HF800.

How would you say sizing compares between the 8500 and the hf800? I wear the med in the 8500

Of course class is a factor, because the rich don't work. I was replying to "If you can afford supportive, proactive care, this disease might as well not exist for you."

America is the only allegedly developed country where people can't "afford" pro active care.

Early and consistent testing of yourself and the people around you if you want it, too. That's a big part of it. Being able to actually know if you've been exposed and also get tested on the regular is huge so you can get care immediately vs only be admitted to the hospital if you're almost dead already. Even if you are a 90 year old pickled ghoul you'll probably be fine if you get all the good poo poo on Day 0.

Still hoping to avoid it for long enough to get Max Titer'd though and hopefully also infant vaccines.

apparently parents at my nieces school are asking if they're allowed to take their kids out of school for lunch and it's like "uh sure legally we can't say no but you realize lunch is 20 minutes right?"

This is from a few pages back, but I asked our public school about this and they told me to gently caress off and they "would not tolerate it!". Looks like I'm just another RN leaving the workforce for now, joining homeschool crew 2021.

Given the choice between remote and homeschool, I'd choose homeschool 100 times over. You get to make your own schedule, generally know better than the teacher what your kid's learning style is, and get to cut out the busy work that leads to tantrums. It's clear that most schools will flop between open/closed for the forseeable future, so homeschooling just erases all virtual options altogether hallelujah. We bought some grade level workbooks, extra virtual math tutoring sessions at Kumon and a dance and piano class on Outschool. We'll do the academic basics and then have fun hiking, cooking, and going on outdoor field trips with her KN94. Hoping this is just a short term thing until she can get vaxxed but depending on community transmission, it may stretch out until schools require vaccinations.
