Case study from a Korean hospital:

I wish we could have this definition for everyone.

Anyway, this case study is notable because one guy seems to have gotten infected by ærosols lingering for forty minutes, and another guy never even entered that room and seems to have been infected by air passing through the doorway.

It’s airborne, folks.

Ducked into the liquor store this morning here in CT and the mask situation was grim. Lot of surgicals either dick-nosing or under the chin, some properly worn but lol cloth masks, one obese heavily bearded guy in a literal mesh mask, me in my Aura and just one guy I saw in a properly fitted KN95 were the only people taking it at all seriously. lol, lmao

Rarely I get flashbacks thanks to PTSD from my past, which has happened more since the pandemic but only handful of times. and so I guess my partner found me yelling about someone dying last night and managed to snap me out of it, and they just put me in bed and patted my head until I fell asleep crying. now I woke up at 5am and get to remember oh yeah I had a little oopsie flashback in front of people. I only remember a little of it but she said I was yelling for someone for a long time. Usually that doesn't happen hardcore like that anymore, but makes sense in a way since this is around the time I've seen the most death years previous, and I guess not to mention people dying since last month already. Doubt I'll be going back to work anytime soon tbh if I'm just gunna zap outa reality to start yelling about dead people just all willy nilly in public. Scares people and who wants to be scared. I can't even remember who it was about, usually i can at least remember a bit of details. She said I was just completely gone though and yelling at her too when she got to me, but she said she could tell what was up because even though I started yelling at her I was definitely referring to her as someone else.

So yeah guess I'm truly crazy sorry yall for any confusion there, and time to just hunker down and try not to do that again I guess. I don't know how other people do it without getting PTSD, it's not like I'm an actual doctor lol just get to help deal with the societal fallout of all of this. Which yes is brutal but I don't get how hospital workers aren't just riddled with PTSD by now if they worked closely with this poo poo for any extended amount of time.

Been there. I like to call flashbacks "emotional seizures." Take care of you, you have been through a lot.

I've always assumed it was, but I never looked into it because I know the answer would probably disappoint me; but it is illegal in America, or at least in blue states, to knowingly and deliberately give someone an STD without affirmative consent, right? Like if someone with HIV tells a sexual partner they have a clean bill of sexual health, despite knowing they are HIV+, and then when their partner gets sick and dies, they can be sued for something, right? Some sort of specialized crime if not outright manslaughter or even homicide?

Because if so, I really hope we start applying similar laws to these fucks.

one way of stopping it is when lots of people get killed and lots more become dementia patients with hollow organs - every country in the world, maybe

Birds have hollow bones and can fly, so hollow organs will probably allow us to fly or something equally cool. Sounds good to me.

It's over. COVID decided to just get up and leave like at the end of the Andromeda Strain. This was somehow the least unlikely way for it to end because it definitely wasn't ending by any means other than deus ex machina.
