I think I’m at 6 purifiers in the house counting a corsi box, but I was considering replacing that with a Levoit once it’s run its course. I definitely have the air purifier version of toxoplasmosis but it’s fine and I think I should buy another purifier about it

What's the current direction to take on mothvax if one already got the updated booster? Wait X weeks? Contraindicated?

Asking for a couple of air purifiers is such a minor thing. It's not a mask requirement, it's not a covid test before entering the venue, it's like one of the easiest, most unobtrusive, passive precautions you can take (and probably not that effective TBH given the size of a venue needed for 200 people). Most people probably wouldn't even associate the air purifiers with COVID. Just a mind-boggling response.

Sunday she spikes fever again and meds aren’t working so she goes to the ER and gets admitted and told they will be doing emergency surgery because the 5cm gallstone is wedged in the neck of her galbladder… and then they drug her up and leave her on a stretcher unmasked in a hallway for 10 hours before telling her they’re discharging her because she’s not strong enough - and she takes an Uber home because they hospital is an hour away and her hubby thought she was staying overnight.

I saw the text thread, what she actually asked for was "would it be ok if i talked to the venue manager and both paid for and set up purifiers under tables and behind curtains so it'll be invisible to everyone and you won't have to worry about it" the only ask was "are you ok if i take care of this?"

In a way the entire botched covid response came down to personal trump idiosyncrasies. he was against vaccines becuase he’s mad one of his kids (in his mind ) had a bad reaction . and he was mad about masks because it’s hard for him to wear them with all his makeup and fat head

Like, yes, obviously, Trump appealing to reactionaries and being an aspiring fascist is quite bad, but the entire system sucks poo poo and the direction of these issues has been Quite Bad even disregarding Trump. Antivax sentiment was growing as a weird thing bougie white democrats did before the Trump era started appealing to all the Q-Anon types, and America's perennial obsession with fascism got Trump elected, not the other way around; he's more a symptom than a cause.

Bruce Hussein Daddy posted:https://twitter.com/BiobotAnalytics/status/1710386842254934275 Most if not all of those sites were tracking on Verily/WWScan since before their new contract with the CDC. Like, it takes a few weeks for labs to put together enough data points to start a trendline, and since the deal was only announced like what, a week ago? Only a couple days ago the NWSS data file started logging newly assigned sewershed IDs for older sites that stopped in mid-September and are getting restarted now, but obviously not all of them are tracking enough data yet. Give it a little time before freaking everyone out.

It may take that long for the shot to be generally accessible.

U-DO Burger posted:Several states are just missing, wtf. Are we going to have to use different wastewater trackers for different states now? Yes. Using multiple trackers and dashboards has been a thing for the whole time. Washington state data was incredibly sparse on Biobot to the extent that I basically ignored it because I was getting more comprehensive data from the state's dashboard each week. Like, instead of listing results by each sewershed, Biobot would blend them if there was more one site within a county (and I could never find confirmation if a particular county was blended or not). Maybe the data's better if you had more access but on the front end I found it pretty frustrating and unhelpful.

Wearing a well fitted bra all day is more uncomfortable over time than wearing a well fitted n95 all day. On the scale of things its very low impact imo.
