Gunshow Poophole posted:gently caress It’s been two loving weeks! I blame my gastro too, shouldn’t have ever listened to her about restarting my medication so soon after testing negative. I should have given it another week since it really suppressed my immune system. Now I’m stuck at home another goddamn weekend, was hoping to get out of the house and rest/have some help with the kids for a few days but nope. Trapped again.

Oh dang yeah I'd forgotten about your rinvoq That's a real rock and a hard place though, I wouldn't be too hard on your doc or yourself. Just another impossible situation you're now subject to thanks to the government and the wealthy who run it

Now I have to buy tests and pay sales tax on them lmfao? I burned through my stockpile of free tests this last week, just absurd.

Zantie posted:I dunno man, I've heard some pretty lovely stories regarding people in wheelchairs getting pushed around w/o asking. Nevermind the whole issue of people who just go up and touch a stranger's belly when they think they might be pregnant. Raskolnikov2089 posted:You mean like the lady who told my wheelchair bound 8 year old nephew that if he prayed hard enough, God would fix his legs? I don't disagree with either of you, but I also have to maintain some kind of hope that we're only in the opening stages of how masking will ultimately be viewed/respected in America. I spent the summer watching the renovation of an old building and took note of how many resources were spent on adding a wheelchair ramp where there were only stairs before. I get that searching for optimism in the dark pit of covid despair and cynicism is probably not useful though

I just hear about it from everyone around me, they’re getting sick or friends and family. there were tons of people coughing throughout the flight and well kids need to eat so it was a dice roll and we lost the only silver lining to this is at least we got it on the way home, didn't ruin our international trip, plus it's much nicer to be sick as poo poo while in the comfort of your home

also another shout out to op and Sesame Care within 2 hours of our positive tests i was picking up our paxlovid prescriptions from the pharmacy after testing positive my spouse had all the questions and i answer them but it's followed up with 'you think you know about covid but you're not a doctor' 30 minutes later and we're doing the video screening with a doc from sesame care, lol all his answers were exactly the same as mine and had a nice internal lmao moment during the call when the doc asked where we think we got it 'on the flight home most likely' 'oh were you traveling from india or japan?' lmao ‘yea’

Just realized that in addition to our staffing problem getting worse because the rear end in a top hat boss is running people off by being an rear end and also never solving our staffing problem, we're going to have people out sick left and right when the students swarm in for fall quarter and bring the pestilence with them.

Diseases can only come from other countries. It's literally declared endemic in the US but you must have got it some other dirty foreign place and not here.

Well, our household streak has ended. Partner came back yesterday from a short trip with a minor sore throat that became a major sore throat today, followed by a positive PCR. She's got a SesameCare appointment in a few minutes and we found a 24-hour pharmacy, so with any luck we'll have her on Pax before bedtime. I don't have any symptoms yet (which makes sense given the timing) and we've got the windows open and are wearing masks, so mayyyybe I'll get lucky and maintain my streak. I've said it before, and it's never been more true: I appreciate the people contributing helpful, actionable information to this thread so much. I'd be adrift without this collection of resources and reminders that we aren't the only ones trying not to get sick in the face of overwhelming political and social forces to the contrary.

I can tell you that it was definitely the vibes with Iron Crowned that made dogs hate him, I've never met a dog with an issue with my secure click specifically. I mean, when you look that in the face and recognize it as another dog, I'm really not surprised either.

fosborb posted:thank you, Doctor My wife’s oncologist was still masking but only a few of the nurses administering her actual treatment did after health worker mandates dropped here. They even tried to convince us we didn’t need to mask while here anymore after the policy changes, like we’d be relieved to be exposing an immunocompromised patient to needless risk in a dense place of sick people. honestly it was a little baffling, like you’d think healthcare workers of all people would still be p enthusiastic about mask usage but nope. I’m glad we wrapped up when we did. The general risk in public is bad and frustrating but hospitals being so cavalier about it just felt like a whole nother level of irresponsibility. At least her doctor was still good about it.

Animal-Mother posted:its so loving wild that there are doctors and nurses who are vehemently against ppe I had these same questions until I read this article from before the pandemic https://www.thepumphandle.org/2013/05/07/from-the-dentists-chair-remembering-how-they-cried-wolf quote:“Snazzy safety glasses,” I said to the dental hygienist who was just about to ask me to open wide. Something about the pink rims caught my eye and led me to a remark that showed my age: there were a chunk of dentists who fought for the right to grope your mouth with their bare hands and inhale all your bloody aerosols but were cruelly denied by the tyrannical Bush Sr. administration I think you can take people from just about any profession, tell them that they need additional PPE for their job to be done well and you'll see at least a decent chunk of them get pissy.
