I'm just.. so done with trusting others. so done. people are poo poo. omicron incubation appeared to average between 36 and 72 hours but covid can take up to two weeks to show up. I’d do rapids at two and seven days and a pcr at five, but obviously any symptoms showing up means testing when they do.

Back to fill lockdown for myself for the next long while. Hope I didn't get it by being the only masked person

hey thread, thanks for the positive vibes Baby girl is off the EEG leads so she no longer looks like Xavier hooked up to prototype Cerebro and she has been seizure-free for about 44 hours now. She had a CEREBRAL SINOVENOUS THROMBOSIS which is as scary as it sounds. The kind of stroke where your blood can’t leave your brain, instead of the kind where it can’t get in. It’s rarer than the former type apparently. They ruled out every other kind of problem (infections, virus) and so she is off all meds except for a maintenance anti-seizure med that we’ll keep giving her for a while just to be safe. She will be able to come home just as soon as she’s gained back some weight and shows good feeding habits, which she already started today (Mom even breastfed her for a bit!!!) the Covid+ baby next door is like, inside a plastic cube with a mask hook-up and their nurses wear full clean suits, and *oh my god that poor child*, and also I am glad their air is not circulating Captain Magic has issued a correction as of 21:59 on Apr 2, 2022 |

Hopefully you made it through unscathed.

Trixie Hardcore posted:I do think plenty of “bUt I DiD eVeRytHiNg riGHt!!” claims come from people who did not in fact do everything right but it seems totally believable that someone could wear an N95 all the time and still get covid. It’s not like most people are doing a fit test every day or wearing eye protection. If you’re surrounded by maskless rona fountains you’re running a higher risk of getting unlucky. The handful of 'I'm being extremely careful, actually' friends all caught it in moments when the mask was off, even if they didn't make the connection/admit to it. One got it while traveling and I found out later they took off their mask for 'just a few seconds here and there for water' (but were still skeptical it was the route of transmission)

These are the same folks that would argue that buying an electric vehicle makes them a savior of the planet, the planet they enjoy through plenty of air travel each year.

Zugzwang posted:So wait did this dude know he was positive/sick/maybe exposed before coming over? no, he said he woke up with a sore throat and runny nose this morning and his open biden rapid test under the T strip is like straight up dark red (darker than the C line lol), which means he's probably had it for like over a week now. what's wonderful is that I saw him a couple times this week while picking up my kids from school and he's strutting around without a mask amongst the crowd of other parents who are also not wearing masks (while I throw on my aura every time) so it's possible he and his daughter is getting others sick as well. he's a super cool dude, we both align extremely well politically but people here in Eugene have outright given up. I mean look at this loving test!  I guess this is what letting 'er rip looks like and the price for trusting somebody other than like three of my really close friends. what's really stressing me out is that I'm still having productive allergy coughing so throwing COVID on top of that could kick my rear end, AND neither of my kids are vaccinated because of their loving mother. I told her the kids NEED to stay home this week and that I'm more than happy to keep them with me all this week to not expose her (she's of course not vaccinated and has a myriad of health concerns) but nah, she says she wants to pick them up Monday. I truly hope this is "mild" and that my kids are okay but I'm gonna laugh/be horrified if it destroys their mom.

Make sure they're eating and drinking the usual amounts, even if covid kills their appetites. As much rest as possible. NSAIDs in case of fever or pain.

inferis posted:she has kids in school Feste posted:The handful of 'I'm being extremely careful, actually' friends all caught it in moments when the mask was off, even if they didn't make the connection/admit to it. I know, I’m specifically talking about the possibility of catching covid while wearing a mask, not people who thought/claimed they were masking all the time and were not. I’m not a doctor but with BA.2 being insanely contagious and most people not masking I don’t think just wearing a mask is enough in every situation. Anecdotally not only are most people not masking it’s like people forgot how to even cover their mouths when they cough. If you’re getting bukkaked with everyone’s rona all day and your mask isn’t fit perfectly or you’re not wearing eye protection while you take load after viral load to the face I don’t think it’s out of the question you could get covid while wearing a mask.

Here's to many more victories ahead for your family.My nephew had a perinatal stroke and spent a few weeks in the NICU with a grim prognosis. He recently turned 13, kicks rear end in all his outpatient physical therapy and speech therapy, and loves asking fun questions like "what d'you think the world would be like if Carthage had managed to repel the Romans?" Hope you don't mind me sharing. I know it's a scary thing to experience as a family and it definitely helped us to hear from others going through similar.

Louisgod posted:people here in Eugene have outright given up. They really have; it's surreal to see the near complete uptake of corporate media narrative. Brains just absolutely switched off. Even at rich lib haven Market of Choice which was previously really good about it. Though weirdly, at Fred Meyer yesterday, nearly everyone incl customers were masking, so  IDEK anymore. Roomie & I feel insane witnessing the illogic and idiocy on display all around us when we venture out for errands. It's just nuts to see restaurants packed to the gills with the unmasked -- just how on earth people square doing that or mingling with crowds outside with the claim of being "safe" blows my god damned mind. We don't take off our masks while away from home, full loving stop, not to eat or drink, until we are back in the car with windows up. We haven't gone out to eat since very early 2020. gently caress that noise forever. Food as entertainment as THE culture cornerstone of the U.S. must be preserved even at the price of mass death. I despise this capitalist hellhole country so much.

Petey posted:well i just learned i have a "at minimum moderately narrowed" major artery in my heart so wish me luck dodging this next wave (and getting my procedure done before the hospitals are overrun) Sorry to hear that. I was in the ER the other day and it hit home how risky any kind of medical care or procedure will be going forward, assuming you want to avoid COVID. However it really was lower exposure than the grocery store or in-person work with unmasked co-workers, which is either comforting or horrifying. Have to wonder if Molnupiravir or Paxlovid will ever be approved for prophylactic use in advance of significant exposure like surgeries. Maybe administered early enough they could largely avert potential infections.

Not like Canada is much better in this respect though.

However it really was lower exposure than the grocery store or in-person work with unmasked co-workers, which is either comforting or horrifying. one thing to note is that paxlovid has quite a few potential drug interactions, one of the more common ones being statins. it's not a big deal, you just want to stop taking the statins twelve hours prior to taking paxlovid and then stay off them for the duration of the treatment. this is something that would be caught by your doctor or pharmacist if they're the ones giving you the dose of paxlovid, but since we're in a hellworld where you might have to shop around for a pharmacy that actually has it in stock and a doctor willing to prescribe, it's good to check yourself if you're on any medications.
