They are actively making it impossible for any daycare admin or school leadership to take precautions while also making sure that parents have no official source of authority that will back them up on any concerns. i'm so thankful my kids daycare is ignoring the CDC and keeping mask requirements for the foreseeable future your situation is loving brutal god drat the CDC and god drat the Biden admin and god drat America

Asking for a friend that needs to find a concierge doctor I think it's any topical steroid treatment prescribed for eczema/psoriasis. It's the steroid, not the condition, that puts you in the immunocompromised category iirc

Really makes me mad thinking of how you have to be on death's door for your vulnerability to count enough to some people to maybe justify wearing a mask some of the time, except they still won't even then. And then there's this poor guy. If there's no hope for cancer patients inspiring a little empathy in these fucks, then goddamn. Psoriasis sufferers have no chance

my dad is a 65-year-old high school teacher and he told me yesterday how the end of mask mandates is making him really nervous. he said he was going to ask about keeping masks required in his class, since he is at higher risk. he was shocked when i told him that the best he can probably hope for is an informal agreement from his students, and not to expect any administrative support whatsoever. he didn't realize that the new guidance meant masks weren't even recommended anymore. i typically follow this kind of post with 'lol lmao' but i just feel really sad. my dad's given so much of his life to teaching, and he's about to see how little his safety matters to the powers that be

So, uh, not really COVID-related, just thinking about the previous cancer talk ITT and how my parents' neighbour apparently just had the same extremely rare form of cancer as my mom (~140 out of ~45,000 diagnoses per year) at the same exact time. Thems some odds right there.

Nocturtle posted:Sorry to hear you're going through this. The delayed COVID symptoms are really something. About the only consistent advice I've seen is to take things very very easy for 4-6 weeks after developing symptoms. Hope you fully recover. thank you! I got my third shot just a couple weeks ago so guess I’m as titered as I can be here in tegnell-land. I got really into yoga for a couple weeks before my infection, guess I’ll wait a month before picking that up again

I thought the post about the spectrum of readers of this thread, from people who are able to totally cave, to people who find it a source of sanity in an insane world they increasingly have to interact with, quite interesting. We, as a family, are making our own choices on this which probably make us "extreme" by local standards even here in Vermont, but maybe middle of the road in terms of behavior here. I try very hard in my personal and online lives not to judge people's decision making if they meet a certain minimum bar of seeming to me to be at least as smart as I am (which is not a very high bar, there's many kinds of intelligence and I am pretty cautious about assuming I have a massive intellectual advantage over someone unless they're literally trying to hand me a pamphlet about some dogmatic or single-issue-voter thing. It's obnoxious as gently caress, at best, to be in hellworld and feel like we just have to make the best decisions we can and then live with the consequences, but here we are. We've taken a lot more risks to allow our kids to have some semblance of normal interactions, preschool, etc, than we have for anything in the adult world that we used to do. The longer I spend away from restaurants, the more my memories of them blur into a concept of some kind of expensive, overly loud place where I'll have to wait unknown lengths of time for more beer instead of just walking to our kegerator. Of course, we didn't have that, in the Before. My right lung has been slightly hosed since "a serious respiratory infection followed by pnemonia" that I had in march 2020 which caused my wife to lose her smell and taste for a week or two. There was a nasty bout of flu that year, too, though, so who the gently caress knows. In any case, I use an albuterol inhaler to ski now, and I'm not in a hurry to get any more viruses, respiratory or otherwise. I do interact with society to some extent, I use PPE ranging from an envo to N95s to nothing depending on the situation ("nothing" is pretty rare), and so far we haven't had COVID (at least, not since widespread testing was available), and more and more this is just becoming another risk I weigh, along the lines of "is the snow bad enough that it's too dangerous to drive kiddo 10 miles to go skiing?" I guess that's what endemic has come to mean for me: it's just another significant risk in a world full of risks for which generally inadequate mitigation measures exist, and so past a point we just make decisions, and hope for the best. If we do ever get COVID (again?) I am not going to think "oh wow how could this POSSIBLY have happened"; kiddo's masked preschool involves unmasked eating, we've gotten sick from her 3 times this year, and frankly it's kind of surprising to me that none of it was COVID (though RSV happened and was scary).

petit choux posted:It was either this or Fascist eugenics style. We'll get there. A couple of years of minor restrictions was enough for the public to accept implicit (or not so implicit) genocide against the immunocompromised and elderly. Doesn't suggest great things for the coming decades, when living standards start getting significantly impacted by climate change and environmental degradation.

The last Death Panel was really mad, red, and nude about that and I fully agree with them. This new guidance puts the complete onus on a high risk person to reveal their high risk status to everyone they interact with and then make a personal request that the people they share a space with take an optional (and not even reccomended by the CDC) action to mask up, or at least stop telling them to take off their own mask. It is beyond incompetence and actively malicious.

COVID has finally hit the care home that my 94 year old grandmother is in (might have been cases previously but not that I'm aware of). Currently my grandmother is negative and you know "measures" are being taken but it had me trying to search for numbers beyond the rather large category of 65+ Best I could find was a study of Italy's 2020 care facilities with 90+ having a 24.5% fatality rate, of course pre-vaccination, but my grandmother is already a not in great health 94 and it's gonna be BA1 or 2 sooooo. Numbers won't change whatever the outcome is of course but if anyone knows better data breakdowns for older people that are newer than 2020 data please do share.
