Do we know what the dose they used for people who were immunocompromised was? I got my booster - an actual booster using my real name and everything - by just mumbling that I didn't know if I was immunocompromised or not. Earlier this month at Walgreens. So yeah. I assume even a half-dose booster of Moderna is still good enough that I'm good and I don't need to go back for round 4 just yet.

The boosters being given out right now are the same as the first two shots. It's literally the same amount of vaccine for each of the 3 shots, don't worry about that or mixing Pfizer and Moderna.

There might be some data in favor of Moderna's bigger load of vaccine, but antibody protection from either 3rd shot is such a huge increase that the little details don't matter.

the hospitals are just allowed to institute a universal DNR, they aren't doing it yet though. They wouldn't institute a universal DNR until they run and out ventilators, and still have like, 20 ventilators left. Therefore it will never happen.

maybe not officially, but for example our chief medical director in the ICU said he's only giving unvaxxed people one round of CPR before calling it

hospital associations and healthcare consulting firms are holding strong in their refusal to consider improving base pay for staff. the current messaging focuses on encouraging employees to think about their own "wellness" and "self care". staffing entire departments with 8k/week travel nurses for months on end is still fine tho

A few pages back, but this is unfolding at my hospital. They stopped our retirement contributions for a while, and won't offer hazard pay for regular shifts or an increase in base pay. They're strongly encouraging us to attend self care seminars where they teach us pearls of wisdom like getting enough sleep and doing something meaningful with our leisure time, meanwhile we're having to take 3:1 ICU runs and dealing with up to 4 deaths per shift (which is uh...high) but they if we pick up an extra shift on top of the horror we've already signed up for they throw cash at us like there's no tomorrow

sorry, but what am I missing? I have an envomask I use in public generally and this has been my shop mask; I've had p100 fabric filters until now but replaced with these both because of shop work, and potential COVID uses. I am completely open to the idea I am not using this correctly, but it passes the seal tests and most importantly I don't smell ethanol and metal fumes when I have this strapped.

I just looked at the picture I took harder. Lol, yea. Well, you caught me taking a speed selfie after changing filters.

I'm glad we're not bad enough on COVID right this second now for you to have easily found a worse story, but I assure you that our healthcare system is overloaded and mid-collapse in places, per HCW on the ground here who I know. I like motorcycling enough to do it despite knowing all the stats, yet I shelved my bike during Delta based on what I've been hearing about healthcare interactions here.

So, if we're in a "good" spot, christ we're all hosed. What exactly am I doing spending 25% of my net income on health insurance, again, exactly? :allears: oh right I am helping numbrr

I've never been able to figure out whether XR was some sort of psyop intended to flush out climate activists, a bunch of lib-brained dumbasses, or both.

It's like how a protest can be captured by leaving a sound system on a stage nearby. There exists a type of person who will get up on stage and try their hardest to keep the crowd focused on them, simply because they love talking, and having a huge audience.

Those people are probably also awful at public speaking, which means no one wants to hang out and listen to hour 4 of speeches and wikipedia facts being read off phones. Which kills the enthusiasm of the crowd, and leads to people leaving the protest. Plus, hanging around that stage and listening to speeches is going to be less disruptive than marches, chanting, throwing things, or loving with barricades. And that's all with no effort beyond setting up a speaker with a mic and telling the nearest person they're in charge. With some direction, it's even more effective at neutralizing a protest.

Either succlib, or an op, the results are the same. Waste time and energy accomplishing nothing, and not being disruptive.

quote:

“There is no denying this is a red county,” said Kit Carson County Commissioner Cory Wall. “She was put in a really tough position, but the state health department thinks they call the shots. She (James) doesn’t work for the state. She works for Kit Carson County.”

Wall believes the vaccine mandates in Colorado have been reckless.

“The governor has not asked me personally what’s best for me and my family,” he said. “I think I can make the best decisions for myself.”

Is Wall vaccinated?

“Absolutely not,” the former professional rodeo clown told The Gazette. “It’s great that vaccines keep the elderly from getting ill,” he said, but he’s healthy enough that he’ll take his chances.

The state syncs its vaccination and infection databases to find the breakthrough infections, which include 1,268 people who were hospitalized while infected and 118 people who died of COVID-19. The death numbers make up 0.004% of the fully vaccinated population.

The state has identified 4,540 more breakthrough infections in the past week, crudely making up 30% of the total infections identified in that time frame. The breakthrough and total infections aren't reported in the same way, though, making the comparison only a rough estimate.

Allina Health in Minneapolis reported that 25% of its 150 patients who were receiving inpatient care for COVID-19 last Monday were fully vaccinated.
