he had a good comedy special last year that was all outside with everyone super spaced out and everyone was required to wear masks. it was one of those nice cathartic things where it's like "see we can still do sort of normal stuff with proper precautions" but apparently that's just WAY too much to ask of people so instead we just get to live in a horrific deathfilled hellscape

Thoguh posted:30% say they will. Maybe 1-2% actually would follow through on it. I agree with this but at the same time it's important to also be cognizant of the fact that front-line nursing loving sucks right now and is only getting worse between admins being incompetent and COVID. 30% is way too high, but there are definitely more than 1-2% of nurses that would let a vaccine mandate be the thing that finally makes them jump ship after dealing with three or four times their regular patient load with few if any CNA's around. Separate from this on the pharmacy front - we ran out of antibody tests last week after a two week stint of doing as many in a day as we did in a week back during the late spring lull. Kits are on back-order indefinitely due to the increased demand. People have been buying out our OTC home COVID antigen tests as soon as they get put back on the shelf, either due to actual need or some local black market springing up. Got all of 6 kits in our order yesterday and they were gone in 2 hours, with about a third of our calls yesterday asking about both antibody and antigen test availability. This is the rural midwest for anyone wondering.

mod sassinator posted:lmao this is one of seattle's biggest testing sites, and it's the day after school just started. hmmmmmm huge line of cars getting tested right now. lmao There's a guy in Federal Way holding a sign saying there's quick 15-minute rapid Covid tests. At first I thought he was holding an anti vaxx sign until he turned around lmao. I didn't see where the arrow was pointing but I didn't see a crowd anywhere so Seattle parents might try looking south.

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. ...that's good!

Thoguh posted:Fish pills are real but they are a poor person thing, not a chud or liberal thing so I have no clue what that tweet was supposed to be about. Fish pills work. I bought fish moxie after reading about a Puerto Rican man dying from a cut that got infected in the Maria flooding, just because it was 20$, I had pneumonia when the doctors office was closed for a three day weekend and it worked ASAP. I think if one has any kind of a preparation mindset, it's cheap to add just in case. It's amoxicillin even if it's meant for fish.

My therapists hcw spouse popped positive the day before school started and now her poor twins are in quarantine for the first few weeks of school. Hopefully everything goes ok.  second day of school here and I'm still just vibrating nervously. Also lol there are grumblings of mass resignations on the nursing subreddit, as there should be.

Bone Crimes posted:So, I gotta confess that I'm curious about these fish pills now, from a prepping perspective. I'd hate to have me or my kids go out from some cut if/when the medical system breaks - purely from a SHTF perspective. Any additional guidance from your aunt? worth also noting is that they're still drugs that expire/lose efficacy over time so from a SHTF perspective it's probably better to keep in mind as a "remember to loot the aquatic pet store" thing than trying to stock it up ahead of time

I have a cousin who's a HCW (RN) here in VT, they stopped by to pick some stuff up today and we chatted outside. They refused to get closer than 10-12' with us both masked, they said there is spread happening here among the vaccinated, it's been at their facility, it's everywhere, etc. They also painted an incredibly bleak picture of New England hospitals right now, as far as sort of being right on the brink of the total staff collapse we're seeing in the south. They said the general quality of available nurses has plummeted. Not a very uplifting social call.
