Ahhhhhh. Thank you. And gently caress those yellow jacketed assholes. Please do get so immune that your soul actively repels them from this land.

Yellowjackets scare the ever living piss out of me. It’s completely irrational but I can’t be in the same place if one comes near.

They are a gently caress, and you're right to be nervous. loving bastard things will sting you if you so much as happen to graze them as you walk past. I would embrace their genocide.

Aww man I missed boot chat. I have a pair of these for winter: They're for clearing the driveway and when I'm on site in the winter. I'm only ever on site for inspections, which frequently involve standing around outside in the cold, so needed something well insulated. They're fantastic - warm feet at all times, lightweight for the size, high enough with a drawstring top so the snow stayed out of them clearing the 48cm of snow from monday, etc.

Those are some good boots, but they look like the boots a yellowjacket would wear and they're giving me the heebie jeebies.

stab posted:Is that a france thing? Yes, it's a very social movement that was somehow imported directly into landlocked Alberta from France as PT6A said, in defiance of numerous customs regulations. Also, I apologize greatly because it should be gilets. I will be making a donation to Gillette's The Best Men Can Be campaign fund to atone.

I used to have a pair of boots like that and they were bright orange. They were rated for like -100 or something stupid and they each weighed at least 1kg but they were warm as gently caress and were great when being out in the snow, and they were so garish that I always knew which boots were mine. Unfortunately some gently caress broke into my garage about 7 years ago and took them, I've never had as good a pair as them (and don't want to pay again since I picked them up for like 80% off)

EngineerJoe posted:Buckle up, at least one Ontario university has sent out letters to staff asking if anyone wants to volunteer for 2-3 weeks in local health care facilities. So far in my year with the BC government we had an all staff email asking people to volunteer with the forest fire services, then one asking people to volunteer with the flood relief, and then a couple of weeks ago asking for people to volunteer in the vaccination clinics I think that basically sums up how the year has gone

They should clearly be counted separately. I know at least Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan already do this. If they were consistently doing it from the start, I'd have less of a problem. This feels pretty clearly like changing the rules of the game midway through so that the situation doesn't look as bad (also note how much they emphasize when big numbers are "catch-up") Also even if the cause of death isn't directly COVID, COVID certainly isn't doing you any favours if you died from heart conditions or kidney failure or a million other reasons you could be in the ICU and die.

Fried Watermelon posted:A person who dies from a heart attack because covid destroyed their lungs a few weeks ago will no longer be a covid death Would this have been a covid death before? Surely it should be but it must take longer to determine, is that why they update after the fact sometimes?

So this is like the opposite of that conspiracy theory where the tinfoil-hatters were saying that doctors were just slapping Covid as cause of death on everything for...reasons? I assume they were somehow supposed to be paid for every covid death or something.

Fried Watermelon posted:A person who dies from a heart attack because covid destroyed their lungs a few weeks ago will no longer be a covid death Pretty sure that would still count as causal death, especially if they were admitted because covid was destroying their lungs. In any case there's no single good way to define a covid death. Excess death numbers are much better, and the eventual studies that will go back and actually dig deeply into these numbers to determine the true toll, but that will take years. In the short term it is still a good idea to count these numbers separately since most people don't get seriously ill.

Count Roland posted:Pretty sure that would still count as causal death, especially if they were admitted because covid was destroying their lungs. One of the concerns, informed by what has happened in the US, is that this distinction would be used as an excuse to classify such deaths as non-covid deaths for the sake of artificially deflating the coronavirus-related death total. So of course you're right that someone whose lungs have been racked by the coronavirus and then dies of a respiratory condition is rightfully considered as someone who died from the coronavirus, but the concern is not (entirely) over the rightful classifications.

COVID has been shown to damage kidneys pretty significantly. Would a kidney failure by a COVID-positive case always list the cause of death as COVID? What if the patient had diagnosed CKD prior to that? Dialysis patients have been decimated (in some cases quite literally) from COVID, so this isn't a super rare thing.

It's purely a way to create a good-looking downward spike in hospitalization/death numbers that they can take credit for in the short term.
