euphronius posted:yeah like teachers ? It’s hitting school bus drivers hard here. Prepandemic most of them were retired truckers or city/chartered bus drivers who were just looking to supplement income and Welp, Covid took care of that population pretty good. Given that state certification for school bus drivers requires a ton of training and regular drug tests and just the cost of the class for the commercial license is three grand, they aren’t getting a lot of takers, even when they offer to pay for the class. Pay is too low, most busses aren’t air conditioned and the kids are assholes. So they keep cancelling routes at the last minute when drivers don’t show up or quit and parents lose their poo poo.

Raskolnikov2089 posted:What's the earliest I could begin surveillance testing with a home LAMP after an exposure? My friend's wife just had an exposure with some symptoms so I lent him my Cue reader and some tests. They tested neg 5 days after exposure (3 days after symptoms), and then she tested positive the 6th day after exposure. They were doing in-household masking, ventilation, and filtration just to be safe, so I think the kids were spared this infection, especially now that they will be even more vigilant until she clears the virus. Thank god, at least something. Sorry I hope you weren't looking for data. The best I got is one anecdote. I'm not sure I would test two days after a potential exposure with no symptoms but that's only my gut talking.

Someone I know popped positive (again) on Friday Hasn't masked since CDC said she could stop, never got boosted, when I told her to get paxlovid she said "what's that" Found out yesterday she felt well enough to get out of bed, so she went out to get donuts for herself.

Animal-Mother posted:My favorite chef is out with Covid again. He also works at the hospital, so he got vaccinated before anybody else and I don't think he's taken any preventative measures since. He looked like he aged five years last time he came back from Covid. Actually kinda worried this time. Yeah a friend of mine caught it ostensibly for the first time (pretty sure it’s at least the second) and when I saw him he looked rough.

When I had to get a five minute cat scan I was in two waiting rooms for an hour because they had one person working intake. Love those staffing shortages.

Just got back from Haggen, my wife and I got the new shotness. We loaded our kiddo into the HEPA Stroller and entered the store with high confidence. While we waited at the pharmacy for our shots, a lady asked the pharmacist for Tylenol suppositories and Covid tests because She has a sick kid at home. Guess if this lady was wearing a mask. Hope our HEPA Stroller works well enough to protect our kiddo from that potential exposure. The person who administered our Moderna vaccinations and flu shots managed to miss with the bandaid on each arm; covering the injection site with the sticky part and not the soft sterile pad.

I'm too dumb when it comes to data stuff like this to make a judgement on whether they're good/bad numbers. poo poo sucks regardless and I've been just relying on anecdotal evidence (number of coworkers out sick, coughs on the bus, etc) Moriarty is a bit more than just a random professor. shes also a faculty of dentistry! but also, quote:Dr. Moriarty is the co-founder and lead of COVID-19 Resources Canada, an academic-led organization deploying volunteer scientists and researchers to rapidly identify and respond to community and research needs during the COVID-19 epidemic in Canada that was a founding member of CanCOVID and ScienceUpFirst.

Steve Yun posted:the headline is careful to say “associated with” and not “causes” yeah it feels like that’s be a pretty reasonable indicator rather than a real cause/effect. I know personally if someone tracked my diet it’d be pretty obvious the differences between years where I’m more happy and health conscious vs years where I’m not doing super great mentally and just not minding my wellbeing in general. Usually not starting off the day with some oatmeal, Greek yogurt, and berries and then swinging by burger king for lunch and grabbing a 6 pack on the way home.

fosborb posted:Moriarty is a bit more than just a random professor. shes also a faculty of dentistry! I posted about her before and she is definitely just a random professor who was studying Lyme disease infection before this and published her COVID findings in a non-peer reviewed social club's proceedings (the Royal Society of Canada is a pale imitation of the British original). Having said that, I continue to wonder what actual epidemiologists are doing these days.

Got moderna and flu this afternoon after doing some searching on various websites. My insurance was a loving joke (only at cvs minute clinics, NOT pharmacies, if you don’t have those go to the in-network urgent care, your in-network doctors office, or your local public health place. Note: we have no minute clinics anywhere within a hundred miles of here. None of those other places have vaccines nor plan to until mid-October). My husbands however at least has Walgreens in-network so I checked all the chudvilles and found one within 20 miles with moderna and got me and kiddo shot up. There were still two people ahead of us, likely from the same ‘big city’ I came from. No one said poo poo about the masks either. also I love these tiny needles. I can even watch them do it and barely feel it. So far my arms aren’t even sore.

Aptitude just emailed me that presales for direct customers for the metrix NAAT testing set up are a go. 375$ including shipping for the tester and 12 tests. seems reasonable especially if the reagents are good for at least a year. Ill get through them.

Not particularly useful, but another way of viewing people who do know better but are pleading ignorance about covid. it's basically working off the idea that if you assume covid is a danger you then have to follow that with people in power who are charged with protecting us as citizens are intentionally not doing so and that possibility is so overwhelming that people will fight it tooth and nail. https://x.com/dontwantadothis/status/1706037257784754376?s=20

just went to my gp to get an update on a prescription. of course, as you'd expect, i'm the only masked person there. i go into the doctor's room and he asked if i'm sick (becasue of the mask). i said no, just being cautious in a place with sick people. he then said, ah good idea, then pulls out a ratty and brown n95 from under the papers on his desk lmao, lol etc good idea, indeed, doc
