COVID hasn't really needed to become less lethal. It gets it's job done and makes more copies quite well long before the host dies, and everyone is spitting in each other's mouths quite willingly.

So I can only get Aura N95s in Canada in packs of 440 for about $600. In the US they sell them in much smaller quantities so I might have some family members send me some but also, if this thing is really going to last 3-4 years I might just be better off getting the 440 pack? Then at least I can offer some to friends who I would also prefer not die.

Lol I'm at the point that I am telling the icu if they want someone to monitor a patient in mri then have the doctor come down and monitor if it is such a life saving miracle exam. I can no longer keep calling in the radiology nurse to do your job for bullshit scans that are pointless. The nurse last week did 80 hours because of this poo poo and I'm done doing that to them.

Real Mean Queen posted:Question for the thread, do you even bother talking about any of this poo poo any more? Not here, obviously, but with people in your lives. I notice I yell about it a lot when someone is unfortunate enough to be nearby, and sometimes I’ll be asked for information and I try really hard in those situations, but in a scenario like this, I just don’t bother. Bro in question is insanely well travelled and generally knows more than I do about the issues of the world on any given day, but covid seems like this massive blind spot that I don’t think I can do anything to remove. occasionally, but no one really wants to hear it anymore. death is certain and normalized.

Rauros posted:factors that make it more transmissible (like delta have increased replication) can be more lethal to the host. also as it evolves to become more transmissible in hosts that have immunity (vaccinated, previously infected, and selected for) it probably gets way more lethal to people who have no immunity Animal-Mother posted:How am I not hearing about thousands of lawsuits over workplace exposure to Covid? We spent decades talking about that McDonald's coffee lawsuit. No one is willing or able to sue their employer for putting them in the hospital with this virus? What the hell is going on? i thought one of mcconnell's conditions for one of the bailouts was employer immunity against this type of lawsuit

Atrocious Joe posted:Polio only has a really low chance of impacting kids' nervous system, and most cases are mild or asymptomatic. Yeah it's a remarkable comparison. The awesome part is that polio will likely come back as antivax sentiments become mainstream policy after the next few elections and school vaccine requirements get dropped. Edit: I also wonder if there was an economic component to the successful response in that the epidemic in the 1950's were largely confined to children, so the economy didn't have to shut-down for quarantines.

The awesome part is that polio will likely come back as antivax sentiments become mainstream policy after the next few elections and school vaccine requirements get dropped. Polio is mostly passed by feces so anyplace with modern sanitation doesn't tend to get hit very badly. Currently, the last holdouts for the polio vaxx are in Waziristan and Afghanistan, and there's a good chance that with the Taliban in charge doctors over in Qatar and Pakistan will be able to start getting needles in arms.

In fact, Polio can be killed by a moderate amount of warming, so if people in affected regions without modern sanitation could control it pretty effectively if they would compost all of their waste.

I need it for convincing family, thank you make them watch the FDA advisory meeting from a month ago before they approved boosters. it has pfizer itself talking through the data and describing in excrutiating detail why we absolutely need to get boosters now. after 6 months the protection from even severe disease goes way down and that's a bad, bad place to be with delta around.
