Joementum posted:the government didn't authorize more covid spending so you can no longer get a PCR test in many places without them billing insurance or paying out of pocket and insurers are denying claims for asymptomatic testing. in a week or two the cash for vaccines (other than the new 50+ boosters they authorized) will run out. there's no more cash for treatment so they've stopped buying MAbs and paxlovid. Speaking of surprise bills, guess how many people will dutifully go to testing and either get charged on the spot, or hope their insurance covers it which they will renege on 6 months from now

Paradoxish posted:It's extremely cool to have people treat you like a conspiracy theorist for providing them with publicly available data. try this one: in the US, after every peak, we have almost exactly 70 days before cases start increasing again. every single wave this has happened. we are 70 days since omicrons peak, and we hit ba.2 being most prevalent today

There's lawsuits going all the way back to match 2020 in new York because the feds are mad that new yorkers thought tests were free , when they were only supposed to be free for the uninsured. So companies are getting subpoenaed because the feds think they didn't try hard enough to collect insurance info at the same time that insurers were screaming they shouldn't have to cover test costs for people who weren't hospitalized It's been a disaster since day 1 due to our horrible system

i'm wondering when VT will switch off the free testing spigot. i don't think they've announced how much cash they have left over in their budget for it, but the testing site has this helpful message at the top today.quote:There is an ongoing delay in reporting test results since Thursday, March 24. We apologize for the longer wait for your results. If you are looking for a test result, you can call 802-863-7240 (select option 9, then option 3) from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Insurers saying they shouldn't have to cover stuff, is both normal and actually correct. They shouldn't have to provide coverage because they should be dissolved, their assets seized, the personal assets of current and former executive seized, and the current and former executives sh-[unintelligible-interference] and then those assets are used to create a national healthcare system.

Can someone give me a ballpark on when we think we're going to really going ham with new cases in the states? I know you can roughly figure it out with doubling time and whatnot but I actually don't know how to do that math so if anyone wants to explain that that would be awesome as well Yes I'm very dumb

I know you can roughly figure it out with doubling time and whatnot but I actually don't know how to do that math so if anyone wants to explain that that would be awesome as well as i see it, there are two scenarios: (1) BA2 agressively reinfects people who got BA1, and (2) BA1 offers at least partial immunity to BA2 in scenario 1 we should start seeing cases take off in NY and new england in the next week or two and then spread throughout the country. in scenario 2 we'll see a modest increase in the northeast and other places where most activity is still indoors as people stop using masks and isolation and that will taper off until we get the wave in the south when air conditioning comes online. of course, knowing which of these is happening is somewhat dependent on testing and, well, as we've been saying............

Has analyzing airplane traffic patterns and where COVID spikes start born any fruit? Like totally wild guess, but I imagine New York and Atlanta, being major international hubs for European travel, would naturally receive infected people from Europe first.

Joementum posted:9205 = elastic headband I would add that the 9211+s that I've bought seems sightly smaller/tighter. I don't know if it was just the batch I got, and the straps are sightly tighter, but it seemed smaller than the 9205/9210s.

AppleNippleBOB posted:^this is correct I've had the exact same issue with the 9211. The exhale valve is kinda nice but it puts noticeably more pressure on the tip and bridge of my nose so it's kind of a net loss for me. At this rate my perfect mask would be a BNX F95 with the nose foam from a 3M Aura and an exhale valve. Can't have it all.

Nocturtle posted:WRT reinfections, interesting to compare recent and early pandemic studies, quoting here just some summary articles: My money would be on “it has always been this way”. Case numbers are way higher now and besides that, most authorities set the bar for confirming reinfections very high. They wanted infections three or six months apart, with the virus’s genome sequenced for both. With criteria like that, of course very few reinfections were “found”.
