I tried to order some of those Metrix tests from peach and A) Their website sucks, B) They are now sold out of tests already. Boo.

Also FisherSci finally marked the Lucira tests as unavailable. I believe that just leaves Cue as a home NAAT option for the moment, although the Metrix people did tell me via email they're going to be scaling up and selling dtc on their own website this fall.

Hey, Bastard Tetris, if you want to use your monoclonal bux to do us all a solid and claim a 3rd-hand dying comedy website, now's the time:quote:i am concerned that one of the decisions you made was "yes, this person who posted about using pipe bombs for domestic terrorism, they can come back and post on this website" and perhaps you should be having a long and detailed conversation with your lawyer about (a) that you did that; and (b) that you posted about that you did that StratGoatCom has issued a correction as of 22:19 on Aug 24, 2023 |

One of the peach people posts on reddit very occasionally and said they still have no word on any production of Luciras again, and they were a bulk distributor for them so guessing they probably would know. They also said there's a another supposedly-as-good-as-PCR-but-as-cheap-as-RAT test coming through the FDA pipeline but no ETA yet: https://www.businesswire.com/news/h...A-Flu-B-and-RSV

StratGoatCom posted:Hey, Bastard Tetris, if you want to use your monoclonal bux to do us all a solid, now's the time: For anyone not following the SAD thread about Boba Pearl's avatar doxing: Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Well.....I suspect the first part of this is not true. The presence of someone writing credible death threats on the site in any form is serious as hell. I've been looking into it for a few days at this point, including contacting the payment processor and digging through the database, and got as much information as I could - this was doxxing combined with a death threat and this is easily warranted. I wanted to see if the person that did this could be found despite our store's limitations, and, if they are posting on this site, permaban them, and provide information to Boba Pearl to contact the police, if she chose to. Unfortunately, I am forced to conclude that Boba Pearl purchased these avatars for herself. The core of it is that she recently posted from one of the IPs that I have associated with one of the two avatar purchases, in a way that does not line up at all with the stories she told me. There are a bunch of details beyond that, but I don't really want to lay them all out here. It's bad and manipulative. Boba Pearl is someone I consider a friend, and it hurts to be lied to and misled in this way. I just really can't deal with writing up a big long post about the private conversations I had with her leading up to this conclusion, but I also can't leave it unaddressed. It turns out Boba Pearl was previously permabanned user Turtlicious. Turtlicious posted:Which we are doing, and many countries in the G20 have agreed to do. I'm 26 and I refuse to die in a global apocalypse. I'm going to die at 85 surrounded by my family and friends, and if there is a final account, St. Peter / Buddha / Anubis will know I didn't just sit back and let the apocalypse happen. I fought for the right things and I never gave up hope that humanity could do better. Turtlicious posted:watch the news in the next 2 weeks. Turtlicious posted:LIke to use a metaphor, I had a DND game going and I 3d Printed some very expensive miniatures, that you can't just flush down the toilet, and had all of my uh dice and snacks ready, and no-one came and now I'm wondering how you disassemble 3 goblin figurines w/o losing your loving fingers.

this is worth a bit of a look, here's the study Early Omicron infection is associated with increased reinfection risk in older adults in long-term care and retirement facilities and a brief explainer thread from one of the authors https://twitter.com/MsMacrophage/status/1693604115446653421 i'll emphasise that this was only on older people in care homes, so it may not be generalisable to the population as a whole quote:133 of 750 participants (17.7%) had a PCR-confirmed Omicron infection during the observation period. Increased infection risk was associated with prior Omicron infection (at 9–29 days: 47.67 [23.73–95.76]), and this was not attributed to days since fourth vaccination (1.00 [1.00–1.01]) or residence outbreaks (>6 compared to ≤6: 0.95 [0.37–2.41]). Instead, reinfected participants had lower serum neutralizing antibodies to ancestral and Omicron BA.1 SARS-CoV-2, and lower anti-RBD IgG and IgA antibodies, after their initial Omicron infection. quote:Our results suggest that the generation of protective humoral hybrid immunity is influenced by the heterogeneity of immune aging as well as the specific SARS-CoV-2 variant of infection. Many residents of long-term care and retirement homes do not experience a period of enhanced post-infection protection against subsequent infection, which highlights the importance of maintaining high coverage of booster vaccinations in older adults in both congregate care facilities and in the community. and an explainer video from another of the authors on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGwGm53sgOk some key points

StratGoatCom posted:On that note, would anyone know the component markings to make sure it's a genuine aranet, given what we've seen with masks there? just got mine in, and followed the Official Checks (fwiw they tell you to buy on Amazon here) https://aranet.com/buyer-beware-only-purchase-aranet-products-from-listed-locations/ being able to connect to the app and push a firmware update seems to be a pretty foolproof way to see if you have a fake or not

I think the forums might have problems with posters not being "normal" outside of the COVID thread, like maybe some systemic issues to address. Jfc lmao.

Sure enough BP had some strong opinions about the Covid thread too.Boba Pearl posted:The thread is a cesspit, with the absolute worst posters, headed now by one of the worst posters. They're allowed to do whatever they want, and face no repercussions, a day for handing out fake medicine? Nothing is being done about the constant homophobic and transphobic sentiment, and I'm not going to list it all out, because it's exhausting to look for attacks over and over and have nothing done about them. They constantly attack anyone whose an outsider. They are the worst the forums has to offer, and are constantly being handed rope by which they use to strangle the rest of the forums. Boba Pearl posted:The only thing I wouldn't super mock, is the idea that these threads radicalize people, it's generally exposure to that thinking without consequence that allows them to get like that. I would like to remind people, though I loathe being the one to do it, that an actual poster, made real world pipe bombs to commit real world terrorism. Yes they were mentally ill, yes they were perma'd 6 months later, and yeah someone did call the cops, but there was a real world consequence due to exposure of radicalized thinking. Boba Pearl posted:There were murmurs that CO2 was starting to drop, and then someone started popping off about how the real problem was methane from Industrial farming, and that even if we fixed carbon emmissions, methane was much more powerful of a greenhouse warming effect, and that agriculture was going to strangle the planet. Turtlicious started posting there because they were sharing good news from r/climateactionplan, and was convinced by the thread that the world was ending, and nothing would save it. She was referring to herself in both of those quotes.

Steve Yun posted:time to cancel the apocalypse Beyond the inherent uncertainty in wastewater sampling, the increase in cases appears so far to have been driven by changes in population behavior. As I understand not all schools are open and EGG hasn't crossed the 50% mark yet, it is way to early to declare victory.
