NeonPunk posted:I can't tell if this is a joke or not but one complaint from folks in SAD is that this thread has been giving out bad medical advice so in that mind it's necessary to tell you that it is a bad idea to smooch someone that is currently covid positive on the face and mouth. oh sorry i meant positive in the negative direction (they've been testing negative)

Snowglobe of Doom posted:My brother works for a transportation company and had a similar problem with a newly constructed supermarket which had a ramp down to the unloading dock but they couldn't tell him what the roof clearance was, so it was unclear whether a semi trailer could actually fit down there. They actually requested he "just get one of your semis to back down there and see if it fits" and were pretty miffed when he lmaoed at that suggestion Going out there with a measuring tape is just a single low-n unblinded study It's not the gold standard of The Science unless you tell a randomly selected group of truckers to show up and unload something at that dock, five or ten times, then get a hand-picked group of supermarket experts from ivies to read those studies, assign weights to each one depending on how much they like the authors, and then write their own paper that says the evidence that the influence of the dock overhead clearance at that krogers on semi trucks getting damaged is mixed

Better to listen to random strangers on the internet I already hook my insurance chatbot up to a 'twitch plays' system whenever I need to schedule an appointment instead of going in for routine bloodwork this year I'm scheduled for 6 breast reductions and 9 endoscopic colonoscopies

NeonPunk posted:Listen to your doctor would be a good advice if healthcare wasn't so hosed up. It's awfully privileged to say that, like does everyone have a personal doctor on their speed dial lmao Sure. I happen to be ludicrously privileged in the medical care department. I was more intimating that "listen to your doctor" applies equally to people posting anywhere about this. Even if you are a doctor you aren't my doctor and I don't really have any way of vetting you, nor do the staff really - so I resent the implication I need "protection." It's more of a general thing though - like taking up the responsibility of trying to ensure only good advise is given on the forums seems like a path towards madness. We've always been rough and tumble on the trust and safety side.

Listen to your doctor, not goons. Also, your continued masking and avoiding eating inside at restaurants is a sign of mental illness and you should go live your life.

Rick posted:Anyone here do trucking? In my imagination you could stay pretty covid safe despite all the driving around but maybe I'm missing something. I used to be a truck broker, so I have adjacent level knowledge. Unless you are able to get a home every night type trucking job, your showering locations will be truck stops where you'd be rolling the dice on shared air. Otherwise you should be able to mask up for the times you need to go into facilities. As some others have posted it's likely that you'd encounter a lot of negativity around masking which is something to keep in mind. For an in person job you certainly would be around other people for a low percentage of time, but it's also a tough job on your health from all the hours sitting driving and the difficulty of getting and eating healthy food on the road.

Poppers posted:Covid cough is usually dry. If it was nasty and sloppy she might have just had COPD. it's so unhelpful to make comments like this lol. the alpha strain tended to be dry but that changed pretty definitively as mutations piled on. i have suctioned so many covid patients with airways compromised by the sheer amount of phlegm they were producing. most of the covid positive kiddos i've seen have also been snot factories w wet coughs. there is no universal covid dry cough at this point in the pandemic. mawarannahr posted:it's being reported that EG.5 can be associated with a productive cough: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/covid-cases-eris-symptoms-variant-b2391394.html Pingui posted:You will note their framing is (paraphrased): "it is similar to Omicron.

Since I was invited to participate in this thread and since the OP was said to be rewritten to be more accurate, I just wanted to point out:quote:with Paxlovid you'll be taking repurposed AIDS medication--this is all not-loving-around-with medication. This is partially wrong in a few different ways. Paxlovid combines the drugs nirmatrelvir and ritonavir. Nirmatrelvir is a wholly new drug that was developed in 2020 specifically for treating COVID-19. Ritonavir, aka Norvir, is a medication for treating/managing HIV infection which causes AIDS. I know it's common to confuse HIV and AIDS but they are in fact different things. HIV is the virus that is treated and AIDS is the disease than manifests if HIV is left untreated. Many people are given ritonavir who do not, and will never, have AIDS. A better wording of this sentence for clarity that more accurately describes Paxlovid would be: quote:with Paxlovid you'll be taking an effective combination drug that includes two antivirals, including one that was developed for the treatment of HIV--this medication does not gently caress around.

One of the funnier things in the post covid world is people who stopped masking are realizing how hosed up the air was before covid. Its not normal to get a cold 10 times a year folks!
