Pink Mist posted:Broken clocks. I wonder if the CDC could have reached these people with cohesive policy or if they would’ve plugged their ears up either way. I know a half dozen people, most of whom are parents, all of whom are basically brunch libs, who were religiously following CDC guidance until Omicron and the 5 day isolation change. They all came to the conclusion that the CDC hosed up the masking guidance with Delta but all chose to gave them a mulligan on that because gosh these variants who could have known (yes, I realize that's bs but they bought it). Not this time. They are now going their own separate ways now; some crack pinging and thinking about respirator crew, most give-upping entirely, one going hard right into the Rogan-o-verse. I don't have anyone in my circle who is still whole-heartedly pointing to the CDC for their decisions. So yeah tons of people were listening to the CDC and stopped quite recently because the series of gently caress-ups became too large and too hosed up to ignore, even for them.

People didn't get tired of following public health guidance, imo. They got tired of being loving lied to, the guidance being bullshit, and the constant false promises and subsequent back-tracking.

Mr. Pizza posted:- Church trumps all. When there's no actual anti-vax argument left, church/faith jumps right in and there's no argument left to be had. It's all couched in its own lingo that sounds bizarre to an areligious, and it makes everything else moot. This is true across demographics/political ideologies. My MIL is very incredibly super Baptist, like her religion touches every aspect of her life and it’s been a real bummer seeing her fall out with her church and lose lifelong friendships because she thinks it goes against God to willingly spread plague and not protect the vulnerable. Like I’m not surprised that her church was largely full of people who just use God as an excuse to do whatever they want but she was and I can’t imagine how hard it is to be alienated by a community you’ve relied on your whole life and to learn that most of the people you know are cool with killing each other.

Trixie Hardcore posted:When I moved to the Midwest I quickly discovered no one here could make even passable southern food so I would type in something like “creole jambalaya” in YouTube, watch a bunch of home cook videos until I found someone who sounded like they knew what they were talking about, try the recipe to see if it was close to what I wanted and then tweak the recipe until it tasted like how I remember it should. This doesn’t work for food that requires special equipment you can’t have at home but it’s been a reliable way of making the foods I missed. I searched “injera recipe” on YouTube and found a bunch of videos in English or with English captions so that might be worth trying. one of the few truly great things about the internet is how it has made cooking knowledge so accessible

They got tired of being loving lied to, the guidance being bullshit, and the constant false promises and subsequent back-tracking. It's definitely this. The early stuff could be excused as crappy guidance due to a rapidly evolving situation but it has just been more and more apparent that all of their guidance is based around propping up the economy with the absolute most minimal consideration possible for people's health. It's not worth paying attention to anything the CDC says at this point and I think that all of the people who have genuine concern about COVID are aware of that.

empty whippet box posted:that actually seems less cynical to me than thinking they just really are that stupid and always have been, though. The entire Federalist / Heritage thing for decades has been to destroy federal government institutions and return us to a pre-1910 state of affairs where the Feds had very little impact on your day to day life. By 2022 it's not too hard to believe that Democrats are in on it too, or at the very least indifferent.

The Trump admin swept a lot of the career non-political civil servants out of the government and replaced them with idiot grifters and Biden's done nothing to reverse that.

It might be worth a shot to call them and tell them you're immunocompromised, maybe they'll skip your unit. And if they won't back down, you might be able to negotiate down to their having to wear an N95. Do you have a Corsi Cube or air purifier?

Rauros posted:sorry, in my mind i don't even consider hematopoiesis of t cells happening as an adult, but i guess a few do still trickle through the thymus for training. Ok, that's under relatively steady-state conditions. The assumption is that with a large enough depletion due to covid, the naive T cell compartment would never regenerate. I don't know if I buy that. Patients of all ages with autoimmune bone marrow failure diseases are routinely treated with anti-thymocyte globulin, which globally deletes T cells, and their cell numbers pop right back up after recovery. Edit. ATG does what AJ proposes covid is doing, and the T cell compartment recovers anyway. Nothus fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Feb 8, 2022 |

It's about making sure you aren't growing weed / cooking meth / leaving giant piles of rotting garbage all through the unit. Various places I've lived have done things like having maintenance staff replace the HVAC filters and fire alarm batteries to accomplish the same purpose. I don't particularly mind as long as it's announced well in advance.

Thoguh posted:2 out of 3 people either really want masking or are fine with it but instead we're getting rid of it. Those 2 out 3 people aren't gonna show up with guns outside city hall or harass public officials about it, and chances are they probably aren't even going to change how they vote or donate over it, so no one in power will ever care how they feel.

Why Am I So Tired posted:Thank you for this bit of what should be common sense. Drives me absolutely insane that people don't realize this. A lot of self described leftists are liberals who are embarrassed about being liberals and just want capitalism to be more lenient by redistributing some of the profits made by plundering the world. The ones who stick by Communism (and probably Anarchism) are more likely to be fitting the colloquial intended definition of a leftist.

tuyop posted:Another question about secureclick cartridges. These two will both be effective at blocking COVID aerosols, right? I'm hoping the P95s will be more pleasant for exercise since if the hospital load goes down I'd like to resume riding my bicycle everywhere. I'm on mobile so I'm not going to dig it up but in my posts I have a trip report about exercise with the p100. It causes functionally no difficulty breathing, may even actually be easier than unmasked (air quality in my neighborhood is especially bad). Some discomfort on my nose. For reference that is for running about 10k with a few lbs backpack of work clothes. My knee got jammed when I slipped a week or so ago so I haven't been running this week but I still wear it while doing push-ups etc, it's not been a real hindrance.
