CGI Stardust posted:it's worth distinguishing between SAGE and Independent SAGE - the former is the official government advisory body, the latter is a group of concerned scientists, health professionals, and researchers who've been keeping track of goings-on; there's only a little overlap (2 of 19 in Indie SAGE are in SAGE). SAGE hasn't published anything in 2023 afaict, whereas Indie SAGE has been doing weekly video round-ups. lmao, that is amazingly lovely naming. SAGE as an advisory group is already indicating independence. It even tripped up the Independent (the newspaper), as they write "independent" uncapitalized.

Checking on Denmarks overall wastewater tracking and well... I may be in danger again (note the scale to the left - blue is RNA copies, green is hospitalizations).

Washington state's weekly update, cobbled together from the state's excel reports Cumulative Counts and EpiCurve Counts. Recent Hospitalizations Hospitalizations of Washington state residents dated by week of first admission due to confirmed or probable COVID-19.  pre:Hosp.

Based on that I think, for the hospitalizations at least, what happened was a resort for date of admission. This is different from the older cases as they appear to be ones that weren't officially recorded to begin with.

I noticed hidrb.com wasn't in the list of Paxlovid providers in the OP and I want to chime in that I got pax through them just last week, $15, never had to actually talk to anyone. Literally took 3 minutes from submitting the thing to receiving email confirmation that it was approved and the prescription had been sent to my local pharmacy. I said I was unvaccinated, former smoker, and moderately overweight. I also did Sesame but had to talk to a person via video, otherwise easy. and lol all the expiration dates have been scratched out by hand

So EG.5 is really taking off in Korea. Deaths(+40.2%) and hospitalizations(+21.5%), too. The caseload only increased slightly, but they also do not mention at all that there was a typhoon grinding across the entire peninsula last week, which may have had an impact on testing numbers. https://ncov.kdca.go.kr/tcmBoardView.do?gubun=BDJ&brdId=3&brdGubun=31&dataGubun=&ncvContSeq=7265&board_id=312&contSeq=7265 quote:During the 2nd week of August (8.6~8.12), the number of new confirmed cases was 349,279, an increase of 0.8% compared to the previous week, but the rate of increase slowed.

Appreciate this post, kind of a bummer because this is the first semester my wife has to go back to teach in person. 2021 Was distance due to covid protocals, she got fall 2022 off from fmla, and her department let her do spring virtually too cause she was still in chemo, but we wrapped up treatments this summer and now they all expect her to go back. Fortunately it's university teaching and she only has a couple classes a week and can stay home otherwise, but they always find ways to pull people in for meetings (and love to have them over lunch!) so we're a bit worried.

I learned from it that my apartment has really lovely ventilation - a horribly loud fan in the kitchen vent hood that can lower CO2 by maybe 100 ppm per hour, and one in the bathroom that runs automatically but doesn't do much beyond venting shower steam. 12 hours with closed windows and 2 people inside gets CO2 up from 5-600 to 1800 ppm. Obviously opening the windows clears it out but it sucks to have to do it when it's hot/humid/smoky/lovely AQI outside which for some reason is happening more often lately.

High co2 fucks with your cognitive functions and the aranet4 taught me that I was hitting 1900+ ppm in the winter with the door closed while working.
