He moved to Texas from California because of electricity or something and then it got cold in Texas and they had no power which was pretty funny if you ignore the non shitheads it hurt

one thing you can count on about the USA is that everything - literally every part of life, from the smallest detail to the intangible concepts like freedom to the individual laws and institutions that make it up - everything will get worse, all the time. nothing about the USA will ever get better or improve ever again. this has been true for a while now, hard to say exactly how long but probably since before i was born

Crazy long queue at Aurora testing center today morning

I had scheduled a test at the Aurora testing center today morning but when went there cars were queued even past home depot. I ended up returning back since it seemed like it will take a couple of hours to get to tested and i had to get back to work.

The last few times i had been there they were super quick and barely any queue. Anyone know if this is normal these days with the increase in cases or is it because people are trying to get tested for long weekend travel?

viremia might just be in really sick patients, so maybe that blood was alright depending how sick the patient was.

https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12879-021-05886-2

"Plasma SARS-CoV-2 RNA was found in 8 patients (19.5%), with a median (IQR) value of 694 (209–1023) copies/mL. Viremic patients were characterized by an higher mortality rate (50.0% vs 9.1%; p = 0.018) respect to patients without viremia. Viremic patients were more frequently affected by haematological malignancies (62.5% vs. 3.0%; p < 0.001), and had higher viral load in respiratory samples (9,404,000 [586,060-10,000,000] vs 1560 [312–25,160] copies/mL; p = 0.002)."

fourth day. a couple teachers and an admin called in or went home sick. there are dozens of cases reported every day. if we went by the quarantine policy established prior to opening, that a class is quarantined if a student comes to class then later tests positive, more than half the school would be quarantined.

there are zero classes quarantined and no plans to quarantine.

Joe hosed off to Austin, Texas months ago because he was mad that everything was closed in Los Angeles

Now he hosts his podcast and stand-up shows in Austin with his chud comedian friends and, sadly, Dave Chappelle.

Chappelle already got COVID from one of the shows a few months ago.

does anyone know the goon who created the doomscrolling Spotify playlist posted earlier? I think people said it originally came from the Climate Change thread.

Was trying to copy the songs from it onto one of my own playlists earlier, when I misclicked and deleted almost everything

I already contacted customer service, and they can restore the music no problem, but they need to be contacted by the playlist’s creator, not just the the pleb that follows it

i am not the poster you seek, but here is a link to the post with the information you require

Fish pills are the same as human pills but without the same levels of quality control. But they also don't require a prescription and are way cheaper. So they aren't a great option but they are actual medicine unlike horse paste.

The gently caress!? What did you do in their mind to warrant that?

My patient was dying and I had to hit the Big Blue Button, which means 2 MDs, a respiratory therapist, and a gaggle of other nurses rushed into the room. I jumped on the bed to start chest compressions (I'm small and the bed didn't have a CPR lever so it was a bit too high for me) and the RT takes their position at head of the bed. He suctions the patient and we get a MASSIVE flash, about 0.5 liters, of BLOOD. It's in the suction canister and now pooling in the tubing of the ventilator itself.

Our protocol is: if a patient is covid+ and on a ventilator, DO NOT BREAK THE CIRCUIT TO ADMINISTER RESUSCITATION BREATHS! Only do drugs/chest compressions/shocks. Well, we're supremely short staffed which means we have traveler RTs who don't know our protocols, and this motherfucker not only breaks the circuit, but does so BEFORE TURNING OFF THE VENTILATOR!!!! He unhooks the patient and then says "how do I turn this thing off?" meanwhile aerosolizing all that blood. Everyone and everything in that room got sprayed.

By the end of the code there was a liter of blood in the canister and the patient did not make it.

I "failed" my N95 fit test so I'm guaranteed a CAPR. To be fair, I legit failed the fit test the first time around, so this time I just cut the process short and "failed" it right away. I'm eternally grateful I did so because there was definitely blood splattered on the face shield.
