took a bit to ship my Auras but got tracking info

it's a loose box (ordered 50 of them haven't bothered to count but it's about right) and checked I think the lot numbers are correct:



from a shipping label by "Saferite" company soooo that's a bit dodgy too

Mine were like that. I Was thinking they're just getting a mass of them from 3m not boxed for whatever reason but hey they're legit so idk if they are drop shipping poo poo or w/e

mine were shipped loose like that in a box when i ordered a few months back - they were shipped from ISP in Miami, though.

I've got a feeling that they sold more than they had and had to scramble to 3rd party partners to fulfill orders for this recent wave of orders. IDK tho.

no where else in the world would I have the freedom to tell my family they're being extra extra dumb for continually attending traditional family gatherings in the middle of plague time oh wait

at thanksgiving my aunt asked me if I was scared of them and i just pointed at my mask and told her no i'm just being smart like you always said i was

glad i left instead of sitting down to eat. for christmas I'm going to just drop off presents early and not attend at all.

Still having trouble with my 3Ms though.

I can not for the life of me understand why you are so concerned about the air you exhale coming out of your respirator when you cover the exhaust valve. Air has to go somewhere it doesn't disappear. Hell it might be getting forced out the filters.

Comrade Xi also had things such as elimination of poverty as part of nation-state goals.

In the US by comparison it's always dog whistling about saving the fictitious middle class.

Sajid Javid says Omicron Covid cases could exceed 1 million in a month

Sajid Javid told MPs Omicron cases could exceed 1 million by the end of this month on the current trajectory.

It comes as Boris Johnson announced Plan B will be implemented in England - including Covid passes and work from home measures.

In the House of Commons, the Health Secretary delivered a statement on the Omicron variant.

He said there are 568 confirmed cases of the Omicron variant but the estimated current number is “probably closer to 10,000”.

He said: “Although there are only 568 confirmed Omicron cases in the UK we know that the actual number of infections will be significantly higher.

crack *ping* that we're going to go from bug report on github to a million cases in the UK in.... five weeks total

lmao omicron effectively transmits much faster than delta. people will quibble about the method of transmission, but the ultimate effect of Rt 3.5+ is undeniable and catastrophic without more mitigations

Plus the whole antibody evasion for 2 doses means more cases in additional higher transmission vs delta.

Do you remember New York in 2020? All you need to do to make SARS-COV-2 with vaccine escape a bomb is remove NPIs. I'm reminded of all those dispersion studies from last year taking about how most people infected very few people but a few people infected large amounts of others.

quote:

NEW YORK (AP) — More than 40 people in the U.S. have been found to be infected with the omicron variant so far, and more than three-quarters of them had been vaccinated, the chief of the CDC said Wednesday. But she said nearly all of them were only mildly ill.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the data is very limited and the agency is working on a more detailed analysis of what the new mutant form of the coronavirus might hold for the U.S.

But “the disease is mild” in almost all of the cases seen so far, she said, with reported symptoms mainly cough, congestion and fatigue. One person was hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported, CDC officials said.
