That they're all ronaed is not unexpected at this point I'm just frustrated that they got covid a second time because they learned nothing from everything I told them before and after the first time.

Do you have ikea?

I’m switching my cube builds to these: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/starkvind-filter-for-particle-removal-30461943/

Here is the test data for them, https://twitter.com/smartairfilters/status/1510974227591090183?s=21&t=5wtrV1M4T9DO_JOXbKt5jg

Covid particles are 0.5um+, and that filter is over 99% at that size so it’s a one pass clean like with HEPA instead of a two pass clean like for MERV 13.

it's way too plausible that they don't just performatively believe nonsense: they fully believe the nonsense just as hard as the Clinton campaign believed its own nonsense

Pelosi might actually believe she wouldn't have exposed everyone in that picture

Kamala may actually believe she didn't just expose a SCOTUS nominee

Blue Karen might really believe that being outside means you can safely point-blank blast people with viable droplets and aerosols without infecting them

I'm not so sure anymore. Do WH staff outside the P/VP/CoS see the special squirrel doctor?

I would not be wholly surprised if a lot of these clowns in the WH have normal doctors who gatekeep Paxlovid as jealously as any other steadfast lib-brained believer that The System Just Works

Navigating this new phase of the pandemic is tricky. Biden wants to show Americans they can get back to a normal life which inevitably involves taking more risks — which in turn potentially puts the president in the path of the pathogen.

The CDC has also stopped emphasizing its map of transmission levels, which labels Washington as “high transmission” for the coronavirus. Instead, the public health agency suggests relying on data that includes hospitalizations, which are low in D.C. But that shift masks the covid risk, health experts say, potentially making people feel overconfident about attending crowded gatherings.

Over the past 14 days, Biden has had at least 18 events where he has interacted with members of the public. including Biden walking around in a crowded mess hall in Rzeszów, Poland, to buck up U.S. troops. That put him unmasked and indoors in a country that the CDC warns Americans to avoid and recommends those traveling to wear masks at all times indoors.

it feels like the family should be able to sue if an insurance company denies treatment and you die from negligence. I'm sure there is some law that prevents that

Some people itt definitely got it prescribed post-infection, and some immunocompromised people apparently even got it prescribed to have ready in case of infection. The CDC website seems to state it can only be obtained post infection though.

Definitely interested in getting a course on hand for a reinfection. Right now it feels little like the vaccine situation from last year, the authorities are gatekeeping hard but there really might not be much demand beyond a minority of desperate people. OTOH it looks like production for therapeutics really can't be scaled up much, so it might really need to be reserved for immunocompromised people. And ghoulish politicians apparently, but this is America.

CORAOPOLIS, Pa. (KDKA) – At least 200 people have reported they’ve become ill after several events at the Marriott Hotel in Coraopolis.

The Allegheny County Health Department confirmed to KDKA Friday it is investigating reports of gastrointestinal illnesses after three large events held at the facility on April 2 and April 3.

The Marriott told KDKA it did a deep cleaning at the hotel to cover both the norovirus and coronavirus, in addition to notifying the health department. A spokesperson said it will “continue with regular disinfection protocols given that norovirus is apparently prevalent in the county.”

The first event affected was a bridal shower that was held at the hotel Saturday afternoon. The family told KDKA 70 people were sickened about 36 hours after being at the hotel.

Later Saturday night, a wedding was held there. Natalie and Armando McNary said of the 155 people in attendance, 80 have reported an illness so far.

“Everybody’s just going to remember our wedding as the wedding that everybody got sick at,” Natalie McNary said. “I mean, people were thinking they were on their deathbed. Like, that’s how bad it got.”

She said it didn’t take long for family and friends to begin reporting an illness.

“Everyone was texting us saying they were throwing up constantly, using the bathroom all for 12 hours straight,” McNary said.

People who attended a football banquet the next day had the same experience.

“People didn’t go to work for days. People lost a lot and we lost a lot too,” McNary said.

UPMC’s medical director of infection prevention and hospital epidemiology said norovirus is very contagious and causes illness in your gastrointestinal tract.

“Vomiting is incredibly common. You can also have lower gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly diarrhea,” Dr. Graham Snyder said.

He said after a person is exposed, it only takes a day or two before you’ll start showing symptoms.

“It can contaminate food that they prepare, so that’s typically how you acquire norovirus, either eating food that may be prepared by somebody who’s contagious with it or having contact with the environment that is contaminated with norovirus,” Snyder said.

He said the best thing a person can do if they have it is to stay home.

“In complement to that, appropriate hygiene in particular when using the bathroom. Wash hands, wash hands, wash hands,” Snyder said.

He said it’s also important to clean surfaces, particularly in the bathroom or other shared surfaces. He said the best cleaners to use are bleach and hydrogen peroxide wipes.

“Fortunately, it rarely requires people to be hospitalized and very rarely ends up in death,” Snyder said.

“I just hope that the Marriott will make this right for us,” Armando McNary said.

The health department’s food safety program completed an investigation at the facility and continues to work with the epidemiology program as part of an ongoing investigation into the illnesses.

“If you believe you attended an event that may have been affected, please contact the Health Department at 412-687-2243. Health Department staff may attempt to contact attendees and facility staff associated with the events. Anyone suffering from any severe illness should contact their healthcare provider,” the health department said.
