Actually ACIP is CDC so I'm not sure why so many people in this thread thought that today's meeting would be for that - it's FDA we're waiting on for Novavax, isn't it? And that would be VRBPAC?

If leaders choose not to take care of their people, that’s on them.” lol, lmao

In addition to the problems of repeated covid infections and chronic teacher shortages, so many American schools are hosed by chronic underfunding. Plus decades of curricula that were written by the lowest bidder, regardless of whether they actually work at teaching things. I've read about children with disabilities being told the school doesn't have the money to give them help, so they're given an IEP that says they'll thrive without any additional help. Teachers are expected to buy their own paper, and if they can't, they go without. Florida is hiring teachers with no qualifications at all, since they can't find anyone with a college degree who wants to teach for $30,000 a year.

If they'll approve Novavax now, then that will only dilute the customer pool as some folks will get Novavax and Pfizer/Moderna will miss out on those customers $. Better to let them reap the most customers first and just let have Novavax get the scraps later on

We at least had classes that reliably had teachers in them, sometimes very good ones, and buses that would reliably take us to where the classes were. I don't understand how a kid in this situation is supposed to look around and think "yep, everyone is clearly taking this very seriously and I should too."

Chamale posted:The lockdowns were one of the greatest public health successes of the 21st century, saving millions of lives. But no politician will say this because it'll kill their re-election chances. The policies surrounding the lockdowns were also one of the largest upward wealth transfers in history. The inability to talk frankly about this is creating a vacuum that's being filled by the belief that covid wasn't a big deal, and that it was going to go away on its own if we hadn't reacted to it.

Jon Irenicus posted:Covid is fully back - 15 teachers out without subs in my building alone smaller sample size but practice last night, one coach who i hadn't seen for a week and change is back (was out with covid) and says he's struggling with fatigue and borderline narcolepsy now, another said he's unusually fatigued but tested negative, so 2/4 coaches present dealing with covid/mystery affliction issues i've mostly given up on asking the kids how school is going even though it used to be a good way to connect with them because the feedback is dire anyway i hope all you denizens of this extremely irrelevant thread are hanging in there ✊  ✊

Skinnymansbeerbelly posted:No idea how long the filters last, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it: the form factor with a single 20x20x4 filter is way better than the cube, with the same amount of surface area as 4x 20x20x1. And if you do MERV 13 + Carbon, it is way more effective at de-stanking your home or workplace, if you have any cologne addicts or weed elementals around It's not any real smell, at this point it's the particulate that comes after the initial fire etc which has more dangerous materials in it. We are a tattoo shop so no weed or cologne going on, thankfully. Are you describing some kind of 'pancake' style design? Anyway, it's built, seems to be working well.

Are you describing some kind of 'pancake' style design? i think they're describing taking a super thicccc MERV13 filter -- such as one of these guys here -- and just taping that directly to the back side of a 20"x20" box fan. so like two pieces total, one fan, one 4" filter

Actually got the vaccine at a CVS today. Called me a few hours beforehand and said that if I didn't have insurance it would be $190, but after I mentioned the Bridge Access Program they put me on hold for a minute and said that it would be free. Government programs ftw.

I originally made a full sized cube for travel and wildfire, but the cubes are really annoying to transport, store, and deploy. They can hardly fit through a doorway. I could barely fit one in my sedan, and that took some tetrising. Mark 2 takes 1/3 of the volume. And the carbon filter works great when you can't turn on the bathroom fan because the air outside is poison.

I am gonna guess it is the pre-discount price offered to insurance, but without the discount (at least it is my understanding that is why consumer prices in US healthcare can be arbitrarily high).

And the carbon filter works great when you can't turn on the bathroom fan because the air outside is poison. yeah, some good innovation right there. i suspect it's probably not quite as powerful with a given fan as a 4-filter arrangement, but also the filter you can actually use is infinity% better than the one you can't use, so rock on and who cares about the 10% difference in power if you couldn't fit the other anyway. the place i just moved to is larger total than my old place but each individual room is smaller, so my old massive corsi cubes went from being an afterthought to a pretty large imposition. i might give this a try though, way smaller footprint and feels more manageable

According to Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/europe-expects-decide-novavaxs-covid-vaccine-october-2023-09-21/ I can imagine the FDA would make a decision around the same time.
