My son turns 8 on Monday. We are spending entirely too much money to rent out a local theater next Saturday so that his party can be during Spider-Man. Nobody is happy with me because I bought a pack of auras I’m requiring to be worn during the party, and I’ve asked everyone for proof of vaccination already. I didn’t want this party but my son has had a really hard time during Covid. just hope I don’t die next month.

It's a little particle of protein and RNA and a p100 filter will stop it. It's such an easy solution but too many people default to "effective mask scary looking  " and won't do this 1 simple trick that will keep you covid free and not throwing out disposable masks all the time

mastershakeman posted:Citing median pay is insane. Who gives a poo poo what the 30 year vets are making when I'm trying to get a job and I know I'll be laid off in 6 months because crunch time ended At our last provider meeting our office manager's boss (no idea who she is) quoted the median income as to way pay wasn't the reason they couldn't get new hires to work the front desk. Then she said "a one dollar a hour raise doesn't help retention as much as all the providers being nicer to them." So now we all chipped in 50 bucks and they're getting a coffe thermos, a starbucks gift card, and 5 dollars off at the lovely store downstairs.

SplitSoul posted:Lots of Austrians are saying this is exactly like Anschluss, but many others don't like it. Lmao First is true, even if the lockdown was pretty half-assed. Turns out closing all bars and restaurants and ordering everyone in schools to wear FFP2 masks makes number go down. Still find it absurd that they didn't send all schools back to remote for two weeks. They just made attendance optional. We were burning through our kids like we're Brexit island. Second, well we're at 70% now, up from maybe 64 a month ago, but I think they opened up shots for kids. Don't think any of the Covidler think they'll have to face any real consequences. It's also still two months off for some reason. Strep Vote posted:

I was the first person to stop attending Discord chats because I don't like any of my friends as much as I need sleep. Right, your situation is different if you have kids, but I'm talking to the people who are saying they can't go over to their friends' houses and play boardgames or watch movies. They can. They absolutely can, and despite all the jokes about misuse of the word ~*~safely~*~, if they're wearing a respirator, they're safe. It's safe to walk into the ICU room of someone actively dying of covid, as long as you're wearing a respirator. Covid is a physical infectious agent and an appropriate physical barrier will stop it.

Remember that patient I told you guys about I sent to a hospital for his every three month plex treatment? Has a weird neuro weakness thing called chronic idiopathic demyelinating polyneuropathy. Basically he has to go into the hospital four times a year to get his blood filtered or he'll get so weak he won't be able to breathe. But he's also chairbound, and has horrible open wounds on his sacrum, so his wife was scared about sending him to the hospital with covid. But he was getting very weak, but she was worried about the sores, etc. I told her that something could go wrong at home, or at the hospital, and it'd be better for him if he was at the hospital when something went wrong. I was following his case via EMR for about a week to see how he was doing. He contracted covid on about day six, crumped, went septic, on 15L o2, was circling the drat drain and then weirdly got better. He wanted to go home but his wife had COVID now, and there was doubt she could take care of him. The hospital wanted to send him to inpatient rehab or a skilled nursing facility but the guy is a DNR and he's adamant that he's not going to a nursing facility. He has his wife to help him, they have home health 2 days a week, he'd already missed thanksgiving and he wasn't going to miss christmas too, etc. Of course they can't even discharge him anywhere else because all the SNFs require him to be covid free for 10 days, so he's just sitting there alone in a covid ward. Check the notes and now he's finally allowed to go to a SNF. he can't return home anymore because his wife died of COVID.

went to Burlington for sixtels of Madonna and Allagash Wit; stopped at grocery store and brewer's supply, too. The booze stores were "masks required", grocery was ~90% masked, and I'm getting used to seeing people in KN95s, I think I saw almost as many of those as surgicals or cloth today. We're doing an outdoor thing for our kid's birthday next week but it's only going to be 1-2 other kids, it's kids she has exposure to in (outdoor) preschool, everyone will be masked if near each other, and I'm setting up spaced seating for eating cake, etc. My tinnitus is still spiked after my boost 10 days ago, but #2 did that as well so I am just talking myself through it because I figure if the vaccines are pissing my ears off, actual COVID would probably completely destroy them (many such cases!!)

But honestly the idea of hanging out with people who, through their actions, reveal they're comfortable with getting infected and transmitting death / disability to others doesn't sound appealing whatsoever. Haven't had the urge once the entire pandemic - I really just miss dogsitting and the idea of being able to get medical care safely.

Paramemetic posted:Solidarity. i absolutely hate taking runs at the facilities covid survivors get shipped off to. they were bad in the before times but it feels like i'm watching genuine harm done every time i haul someone out. i've been making ED staff mad by advising a social worker or APS should get involved with certain patients who are very clearly being neglected i do genuinely regret deciding to get my bachelors instead of just going through the medic to RN program like everyone else. i would have been done just in time to start traveling. you should go for it if you're thinking about it imho. a former coworker of mine is pulling around $125/hr working labor and delivery overtime right now big cummers ONLY posted:I'm still on work calls with all the emergency medical systems people in my state and it is great hearing all of them talk about how understaffed they are and it's the governments fault for all the red tape and it has nothing to do with insufficient wages for a horribly demanding and emotionally draining job. No one is taking classes to become a paramedic and every private company is absolutely unmoveable in their belief that compensation is not the problem. One guy kept repeating "the median pay right now is $26/hour" as if that proved anything when you are talking exclusively about trying to onboard new kids who aren't going to make close to that starting out. 90% of new personnel are born after 1998 or something and they aren't stupid, they aren't going to scrape people off the highway and run Ubers for covid deaths for $15/hr and poo poo schedules. It's so insanely frustrating to actually be able to witness capital shove its head into the ground and cry about how unfair everything is when every rep on the call is an overpaid work-from-home little bitch. ems is so poorly regulated and managed from the top down that it's amazing anyone can call 911 and have an ambulance show up at all tbh. that we're still under the DOT and NHTSA instead of HHS or something is incredible. i love prehospital care but i'm making plans to get out as quickly as i can. i've started advising emt and medic students that nursing school is a better choice if they're set on working in patient care

But honestly the idea of hanging out with people who, through their actions, reveal they're comfortable with getting infected and transmitting death / disability to others doesn't sound appealing whatsoever. Intubate a couple of dozen covid patients. You'll learn to trust your respirator. Remember, you have to operate on the premise that this is forever. There's no getting rid of covid. It's going to keep circulating, mutating, infecting, maiming, and killing, for the rest of our lives, barring a medical breakthrough that allows the creation of a true sterilizing vaccine that works against all variants. I'm not going to sit around waiting for that. I've put my respirator on and embraced the new normal. I have learned to live with covid. I'm not going out to restaurants in a futile attempt to insist that life 2019-style is back, because it never will be, but I'm going to live the best life that I can given the limitations imposed on me by reality.
