Skyl3lazer posted:I think it's really important to realize that unless you work in healthcare or communicate daily on a personal level w/ someone who does, you are underestimating the strain on medical staff at the moment. I am wondering about this in the school system. Since there isn't going to be any statewide closure of schools, much less mandatory mask wearing, I think we're just going to see the situation we see now with these rolling closures getting more and more frequent as more teachers and staff get infected and/or have to quarantine. When I am in meetings everyone is open about how burned out they are even though the school year only began a few weeks ago for many of the schools that I service. I find myself just trying to fill the gaps right now. I'm not comparing the risks and burnout that hospital staff are facing to that of teachers, especially ME of all people since I'm not assigned to any one room anymore, but I wonder how the rest of the year is going to play out. Not to mention next year. It is survival mode!

Palestinian news source sharing info from a press conference about COVID in Gaza. I just use twitter's translate feature, so stuff could be mistranslated, but seems like kids are getting hit really hard there this wave. https://twitter.com/ShehabAgency/status/1439998104682520579?s=20 quote:Sherine Abed, Head of the Corona Control Committee at Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital, Shehab: There is a daily increase in the number of injuries attended to Al-Nasr and Al-Rantisi Hospitals from children infected with Corona, and a noticeable increase in the number of latent and frequent injuries to the reception department and referred to the triage department

So it turns out the official policy at work is that "the presence of the covid pandemic is not a suitable reason to work from home." I've been granted a temporary work-from-home, only 2 weeks to try to find some other way. It's not looking good.

tangy yet delightful posted:I do not believe this geriatric gently caress hasn't already had one booster, this absolutely #4 for this non-antibody generating corpse of a president. Abbott already had a booster so yeah. This is *at least* booster number 4. Also other than cost, is there any reason (again I don't know much biology so IDK if like mainlining antibodies is bad or why it would be) why people like Biden and other Important People can't be taking daily doses of regeneron? Assuming there's no side effects, then the only thing being lost is money.

papa horny michael posted:he's already had it, along with regular monoclonal antibody treatments and this is another empty syringe That's not even worthy of tinfoil. I mean we know Abbott was triple vaxxed; there is no way on Earth this is legitimately Biden's third dose unless he really is just completely gormless in a way Trump even wasn't. And while I don't think Biden is a genius, I'm still in the 'he's evil, not stupid, and this is a gaslighting campaign by the government, not a total lack of leadership or direction' camp. I mean, heck, maybe it's his third dose of Pfizer in particular, but I do not for a second believe it is remotely possible that this is his third dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.

Want to dump this somewhere because it's been on my mind. I have a friend who has a kid who is roughly a year or so old, so no vaccination obviously, but he and his wife are. He goes to grappling lessons ever since Open Biden and just got back from a big weekend wedding. No idea if he brought the kid but I guess it would hardly matter. Also had a call with my mother who lives down in Alabama. She claims she can't wear masks because of asthma, keeps repeating the vaccine is a "personal choice", and just got back from a trip to the beach somewhere. She then informed me that my uncle had to have some heart work done and that the stories of the covid problems and ICUs being full are "a huge exaggeration, the ICU was nearly empty when he was there!" (incidentally, she was a Dem until Obama took office, and loves Trump now). This is a woman who has lied about the stupidest poo poo in the past so I already know not to believe any of it. She's just so desperate to pretend that everyone is overreacting over nothing and that she's so above it all, even though if she catches it she's 100% done for. I know there's no answer to this stuff, and after watching people I'd otherwise considered intelligent take off their masks to have a close-distance conversation with a stranger, or some into work (with no mask) and announce their partner was sick, I've given up on people entirely. For the record, I'm vaccinated and still wear masks in the drive-through getting takeout. Just totally mentally exhausted and needed to vent.
