If your desire is to never catch any form of respiratory illness ever again then I think a respirator in public forever is an okay choice. I wouldn’t really want to live like that or recommend it to anyone though.

I wouldn’t really want to live like that or recommend it to anyone though. Car crashes without a seatbelt are a lot more likely to kill you than a random respiratory virus… I also think wearing a seatbelt in a situation where you’re already sitting in a car doesn’t really change the experience of driving a car vs wearing a mask or respirator in many different indoor social settings but I dunno I like eating drinking and being merry with friends.

COVID killed five times as many people as car crashes last year and that doesn't count post-acute stuff

They also sell a hand sanitizer and a facial mask (the cosmetic kind, not the PPE kind) "with CBD infused 14 karat gold". The guy in this photo is Anthony Miranda who was hawking the device in early 2022 and was an official “master distributor” for the product, and was identified as one of two validators of the test results and case studies that backed the supposed science behind it.  He's now the NYC sheriff, lol.

quote:This card, which was worn around the neck or clipped onto clothing, was sold using deceptive claims, the FTC says. For example, the defendants claimed their product “uses quantum theory technology, combines known virus and bacteria killing compounds. It is safe, simple, and effective. All you need to do is hang it around your neck or attach it to your collar, close to your mouth and nose. . . it kills 99.9% of most harmful bacterial and viruses . . . within a three-foot radius.” Boring, would have been way funnier if it was radioactive or something really dangerous

For comparison, that’s ninety times the cobalt involved in the 1984 Ciudad Juárez incident. It’s fun to compare and contrast the official response to radioactive material on the loose versus what happens with a novel virus. e: Wikipedia is racist against languages with acute accents.

Something that has been lost, but the paper that introduced the concept of "immunity debt" was arguing for increased pediatric vaccinations in France. The concept of "these kids had their first introduction to their virus-laden peers delayed by a few months, so there is going to be a few more getting sick than normal from that daycare exposure shock, so we should try to get more of them vaccinated, against as much as we can" is reasonable. The specific ones they argued for were "rotavirus, varicella, and Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B and ACYW". But how we got from there to dumbasses trying to blame their RSV on "lockdowns"..... that's loving ridiculous. We have no lasting immunity to any of the viruses people are bitching about. And just because I haven't caught the flu in 30 years, and god knows how long since "the RSV" - that doesn't mean I'm extra weak and susceptible now. Shut the gently caress up. When people wallowed in rat filth and cow poo poo and drank contaminated water, they were sick all the time and died in their 30s. They weren't superhuman pillars of virility. Doctors love to say random nonsensical comforting poo poo, especially to people they think are dumbasses. Some of them might actually believe it, like the ones who have zero time to read anything in between their fifty 15 minute appointments. Maybe they get a two paragraph summary of the health-news-of-the-day from whichever conglomerate bought their practice.

I'm legit surprised it's even 3 percent. I work mon-thur so I booked an appointment friday morning so I could get the shot and rest up over the weekend, got canceled wed night due to short supplies. So I booked another one, got canceled again. This happened 3 times in a row and I sort of gave up trying to book one, figured I'd just wait some number of weeks and try a random walk in. I'll probably try this weekend, I guess at least now I can get the moth juice instead. I feel like most people don't like errands or scheduling them so basically every rejected appointment is a roll of the dice that person simply never gets the booster at all, and it seems like it was happening a whole lot.

Washington State's Respiratory Illness Dashboard. Weekly update on recent emergency room (ER) visits, new hospitalizations, total inpatients, deaths, and confirmed positives highlighting changes due to backfill. These are cobbled together from reports published by Washington's Healthcare, Emergency, and Logistics Tracking Hub (WA HEALTH), Washington Disease Reporting System (WDRS), Washington Health and Life Event System (WHALES) which can all be downloaded from the dashboard linked above. Additional information was gathered from CDC's Weekly Trends and HHS' Hospital Capacity by State and Hospital Capacity by Facility reports. All of these reports use the standardized Sunday-Saturday week definition. Columns with a bright bar are the new additions for this week's report. Darker columns are from previous reports. An outlined column is where previously established numbers have been reduced with this week's report. Ex: Last week reported 250 hospitalizations for the week of Oct-15, this week reported only 225 hospitalizations for the week of Oct-15, there will be an outline on the column for Oct-15 extending from 250 to 225 to show the count recently lowered by 25. Positive clinical cases (tests administered at CLIA certified or CLIA waived labs) as reported by healthcare facility. Positive home tests reported to the state were retroactively removed from the official counts earlier this year. Reinfections are only counted when equal to or greater than 90 days since prior recorded infection unless both samples were sequenced and found to be different subvariants. pre:Cases Changes in state counts reported: week of: 4wk ago 3wk ago 2wk ago 1wk ago This week Total: Oct 15 - - - - + 2,089 2,089 Oct 08 - - - 2,483 + 242 2,725 Oct 01 - - 2,918 376 + 42 3,336 Sep 24 - 3,712 152 45 + 39 3,948 Sep 17 3,932 252 37 22 + 16 4,259 Rest of '23 323 66 29 240 + 23 107,002  Emergency Visits with confirmed COVID-19 in Washington state facilities calculated by applying the state's % of Emergency Visits due to COVID-19 to the HHS' reporting of ED visits due to all causes. The HHS report with ED visits updates the Friday after the state's report, so the most recent week shown is an estimate based on the averaged totals of the past three weeks of ED visits combined with the state actual Emergency Visits ratio.
