it was extremely funny for those first weeks in March 2020 when people were "quarantining" as everybody went literally insane after a couple days of being alone, realizing they have nothing of value in their lives beyond nonstop consumption.

I bought some boxes of Nitriles, then I found out that I can't just use the Mr. Clean nitriles because they're not specifically for viruses :negative:

I've considered trying to find a NBC suit, but seems like they're long sold out.

No because I'm always spraying poo poo down at work and wiping down everything I touch. I think I've always done this because I'm always worried about bringing the flu or something home.

No. I'm not even sure what to do that I am not already doing. After a certain point you can no longer do any more preparation for what's coming and will have to wing it.

This is pretty much where I'm at. I never stopped using gloves when I was out grocery shopping. Even if it didn't do poo poo for COVID, it was always nice for those incidents where you touch something sticky or powdery or whatever, and you just can't get rid of it the entire trip.

See also, if you need to hit the bathroom, you don't have to touch those nasty rear end sinks/air dryers, just tear off those gloves and put the back up pair from your satchel on.

Is there any available reccomended cleaner for monkeypox? I have some Purell "food surface sanitizer" that works for covid but no idea if it'd be effective for both

no it's really not! especially as a naive and idealistic people person! why am i still a people person when we're like this? like i genuinely have a hard time disliking anyone for more than five minutes. aaaaa

feels bad, fam. really sucks watching friends, family, patients, everyone just shrug and carry on while frequently getting sick. surreal hearing kids run and play outside and frequently pause to let out hoarse croupy coughs

kinda envy you in your resolve to be able to say "lol don't care and don't need em" tbh

I'm thinking about buying these, just have to wait a few days since we can't get USPS packages delivered here and the family nice enough to accept packages for us is going camping. Hope they're real / good enough, seems like a great deal.

Yeah we've never stopped wiping down groceries or the constant hand washing, but now I'm getting freaked out about produce again. Or our dog bringing it in on her paws.

Does soap really not work on Monkeypox? What should we be buying? Anyone have a link?

So I think people are talking a little about different things.

In order for you to suffer fomite transmission, an intact infectious cell has to get inside of you, cuz that's just baseline infection.

Washing something can prevent that from happening two ways: destroying the cell, or removing it. While something like a strong alcohol will kill just about everything, soap isn't really there for the purpose of killing things, it's there to remove them mechanically.

tl;dr soap should still be fine as long as you're rinsing thoroughly

I'm avoiding touching surfaces again.

I have no idea how I'll evade this besides wearing gloves. I already feel like I look crazy for being the only person in an n95 at my office.

Strong alcohol, like tequila? Or does it have to be 151, or Everclear?

update from my coworker, who caught covid about 7d ago and started paxlovid about 3.5d ago:

quote:

Tried to come back to work today; only been in 45 minutes and I'm cold, clammy, sweaty, and exhausted. All I've done is sort-of catch up on slack and email but I feel like I've been exerting myself. Gonna go lay down. I'll try again tomorrow morning.

my father-in-law was on a voluntary business trip in australia and returned home saturday. he was maskless the entire flight. now my brother-in-law, who lives with them, tested positive for covid. father-in-law refuses to test and went to work today. he works for military intelligence in a windowless building lol

it really drives home why you should never listen to people who try to minimize covid; if things go wrong and they infect you, they will never ever acknowledge what they've done

People who do you injury for any reason will never ever acknowledge what they've done.

That requires that they actually acknowledge the behavior to themselves. That's something they would rather die than do.

This isn't something peculiar to Covid denialism. It's a commonplace in nearly all abusive relationships, period, end of sentence.

I found this out decades ago.

From family, of course.

When you find you're close to a person who's doing that to you, you have to be much more ruthless than you'd like. Because the next necessary step is nearly always closing them out of your life. As soon as possible, and as completely as possible.

You cannot "negotiate" actions your abuser won't even acknowledge committing.

Trying to take that road eventually brings you to some very ugly places.
