I wrote a request to the Nebraska DHHS Epi department general email for access to the wastewater data from my academic email since I couldn't identify a contactperson. I will let this thread know if I hear anything back.

I'll email her too, but I am fairly certain a governor's spokesperson will have no idea how to actually access the data.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Thanks everyone for the trucking feedback. That makes sense. So it's possible but may result in a lot of drama.

Is carageenan spray supposed to sting? I was using an off brand for a while and it would sting, now I got the flo travel name brand and it doesn't. Am I doing it wrong, either before or now?

you can watch Digital Foundry videos on YouTube where they test frame rates of games and get a sense for what 60fps looks like, 30fps, 25fps, 20fps, 12fps, etc

or if you grew up watching a ton of anime you know what 12 and 24fps animation look like and guess what something in between is

Theoretically yes but everything being a single-use disposable ended up with people wearing loving garbage bags for PPE and storing disposable n95s in little paper bags between shifts since they were too precious to be thrown away and there was no provision made for like a closet full of elastomerics and paprs in the basement to fall back on when the poo poo hit the fan

sounds inefficient. it's better to rationalize toward just in time PPE provisioning.

No idea broadly speaking but personally I've been huffing the ePothex brand for about a week now and do get some vibrant stinging for maybe ~5 seconds after using the spray.

neither Flonase flo travel nor betadine brand has done this, and I believe they might have the same or higher active ingredient concentration.

never got epothex. but Betadine is a brand name that's been around forever and I trust them a little more probably

Using Betadine and same, no burning. Betting it’s some cheap preservative.

Good to know. I've taken 2 additional Luciras and gotten a negative each time. That plus my RAT has me feeling a little more confident. I'm still going to go get a PCR at the drive thru 2 hour place I think.

Confirmatory PCR was negative. That's a relief. The pharmacy tech who brought the swab out to my car was wearing a face shield and no mask. Points for effort I guess.

here's epothex

quote:

Ingredients: Purified Water, Sodium Chloride USP, Disodium Phosphate, Benzyl Alcohol, Monosodium Phosphate, Benzalkonium Chloride, Iota carrageenan

flo travel nasal spray says it's preservative free but don't have the ingredients handy

and here's betadine

quote:

Medicinal Ingredients (per mL) :
Iota-Carrageenan.......1.2mg
Sodium Chloride........0.5%

Non-Medicinal Ingredients:
Carrageenan, water.

so epothex has a ton of preservatives in it. but I can't say if that's good or bad.

My 91yo grandma has been stuck in a nursing home doing rehab the past 2 weeks after breaking her hip at home. Shockingly, both her and my grandpa are now sick with Summer Flu for the first time. Guess my grandpa had it so bad he was hospitalized the last 3 nights, and according to my uncle they didn't even test him for Covid, instead suggesting it might be bronchitis or RSV. They also told my uncle he didn't need to wear his mask in the hospital, lmao.

My wife's 99 year old grandma is living just fine at home, by herself, with grocery delivery. She spends her days crocheting, watching the news, and feeding the hummingbirds.

She says that she's going to go to a group home once she hits 100, and I figure that'll be the death of her.

Fwiw when I took ~24 Luciras in Dec 22 my false positive rate was 8% (and another 8% tests “errored out” flashing the lights, which Lucira refunded).
This scans; LAMP is notorious for its false positives, especially in a pH/colorimetric assay like Lucira's that can't use optical probes to help improve specificity.
