Fur20 posted:lol loving front street "business owners." no, selling the equivalent of "mauified" thomas kinkade paintings to tourists, drawn by burnt-out hippies who moved here in the 70s and 80s, barely floated in 2019. even in the best of times, you broke even on your storefront's monthly rent and pretended like that constituted a successful business. no local would ever buy this garbage and you dumb asses have always been ticking time bombs. the fire just pushed your timetable up by a decade. I always wondered how these places stayed in business. The little stripmall style store parks around Kona on the Big Island are always like 70% vacant, 20% these crap art galleries, and 10% jamba juice.

Shady Amish Terror posted:Everything is vibes-based, most decision-making both personal and social is Wile E. Coyote refusing to look down while walking off the cliff. The economy, the insurance industry, public health, everything is in this delicate meta-stasis where a majority of people and policy-makers are wary of looking too closely lest they have to acknowledge anything bad is happening, and things are not quite yet bad enough for this to result in obvious and routine negative consequences for the most well-off, who can indeed afford or otherwise have access to personal doctors and paxlovid at market rates and improved ventilation. Real Mean Queen posted:My read with Wachter is that this stopped being practical and became ideological for him at some point. He’s like the old joke about how to survive a bear attack, you don’t need to outrun a bear, you just need to outrun your slowest camping buddy. Protected for him does not mean protected, it means more protected than the least protected person he can imagine. It doesn’t matter that his poo poo doesn’t work and it doesn’t matter that he knows that, because somebody else’s poo poo works even worse and he believes that this is graded on a curve. You can see this is a pretty popular mindset if you look at the booster numbers. Good posts

ibid posted:steriwave Um... quote:In an effort to mitigate the transmission and consequences of the disease among such workers and the community at large, aPDT was added to a well-established bundle of pre-existing pandemic safety measures (e.g., mask-wearing, testing, contact tracing, workplace-engineered barriers, increased paid sick leave). quote:Prior to and running concurrently with this intervention, the plant also proactively implemented multiple safety measures that became the standard within the food processing industry [2,5]. For example, beginning in March 2020, increased paid sick leave, additional outdoor break rooms, third-party cleaning teams to disinfect high-touch surfaces three times per shift (after each break), engineered barriers, testing, social distancing during breaks, and pre-shift temperature and health screening were implemented. Furthermore, during the same period, participants were encouraged to continue to maintain high compliance with all CDC-recommended safety measures through the use of reminders, internal education videos, and trained staff available to answer any questions or concerns. quote:Furthermore, while industry standard SARS CoV-2 safety measures were established prior to the introduction of aPDT, the impact of the additional nasal photodisinfection can only be associated with the outcomes. Also, while other food processing plants that did not deploy aPDT continued to experience outbreaks, a direct causal relationship associated with the addition of aPDT was not definitively concluded. Lastly, employees were aware they were being observed and were incentivized to adhere to all safety measures which could have increased compliance and led to the Hawthorne effect (participant observation awareness). Yeah, I'm gonna file this under 'raised eyebrow.' Oracle has issued a correction as of 20:09 on Aug 19, 2023 |

I feel like there's a fairly broad spectrum of Americans who could be convinced that powerful disinfecting light inside their bodies will be effective, whether it's true or not.

My wife has COVID, 1 year after getting it the first time. She’s fairly sick, she took a test yesterday and it was a negative test and she took a test today after she noticed she stopped being able to taste food. Any tips on how to get her paxlovid?

Check out the first post under the heading "telehealth sites that prescribe covid treatments". Hopefully that sorts you out, if not just pop back into the thread for more help.

It was so, so easy to get Paxlovid here: https://sesamecare.com/medication/paxlovid No lying of any kind required. An easy minute long phone call and we had a Paxlovid prescription called in before we were off the phone.

She managed to find a telehealth doctor through the state and got the prescription. Getting it filled now. I’m so loving pissed. I’m testing negative, will test the kids again. Good thing I’ve been falling asleep on the couch the last two days.

Glumwheels posted:She managed to find a telehealth doctor through the state and got the prescription. Getting it filled now. It's not inevitable she will give it to you or the family. Masking, isolation and ventilation in the house can do a lot. If you're negative, it's worth the extra effort. Also transmission between humans and their pets and vice versa is thought to be pretty common, so keep any dogs and cats away.

Yes I know, she put on a n95 and took a hepa filter to our bedroom to isolate. I have the other hepa outside the room and we just installed a new furnace with a/c and put in a hepa filter there too. We don’t have pets but we do have two little kids so it’s all on me now along with working too.

If you have access, get some Listerine Cool Mint (either alcohol or alcohol-free) for her to gargle with and some iota-carrageenan nasal spray (Betadine Cold Defence is the usual, though if you're not in Canada you probably won't get it in time to do much. There's also a kids version which is the same stuff just a smaller dosage).

Go to the pharmacy and pick up a couple of nasal rinse squeeze bottles, a box of baking soda, and a couple gallons of distilled water.Platystemon posted:You need one cup of water, two hundred and forty millilitres. It’s important that this is sterile, and tap water is not sterile. Commercial distilled water is safe, and that is also true of water that has undergone reverse osmosis. Tap water or bottled water that is not distilled/RO can be rendered safe by heating it to a rolling boil. Platystemon has issued a correction as of 00:23 on Aug 20, 2023 |

Glumwheels posted:What’s the listerine for? How do I obtain that nose spray in the US? It seems as if using listerine and/or a nasal spray increase your chances of not getting infected. That specific spray is hard to find in the US, but here's another one that's available on Amazon that a number of people here have gotten: https://www.amazon.com/Flo-Travel-Nasal-Spray-20mL/dp/B07KPRNYHZ/ Here's a big post from the last thread on the topic: Phlag posted:A good overview of the use of nasal sprays and mouth washes as they relate to COVID-19 is the Recommendation of the German Society of Hospital Hygiene (DGKH): Prevention of COVID-19 by virucidal gargling and virucidal nasal spray. They give an overview of the long history gargling and nasal sprays have in preventing respiratory diseases similar to COVID-19, as well as more modern studies looking specifically at their impact on SARS-CoV-2, and ultimately provide recommendations for the general population.
