Wrex Ruckus posted:I went today, didn't see anyone checking masks and the doctor wasnt wearing one I went yesterday and everyone was masking in the seattle - capitol hill location - for the workers at least anyway. didnt see any signs though. meanwhile when I went to urgent care last week it was like 50/50 people masking in the waiting area and basically any time a doc or tech interacted with me if they didnt have one they put one on so there seemed to be some kind of at least level of "if the patient is masking you should mask" maybe I managed to not get got after 7 hours floating around for all kinds of imaging and tests. Im gonna have to get a full guts viewing here soon. endo and colonoscopy so hopefully I can keep up my good luck.

Solid lines are generated from normalized and smoothed data provided by the Washington State Department of Health (WADoH), Biobot, and WastewaterSCAN (WWS). White diamond dots are from most recent CDC/NWSS data scaled to supplement missing or out-dated data when available. Because these groups use different methods, and especially because Biobot data may be multiple sites combined within a county, the concentration of virus copies per mL of water is not comparable between two different locations. There are 33 sewersheds distributed across 6 charts grouped by approximate geographical region then alphabetized by county. The tables below contain WADoH or NWSS/WSS IDs (to match their respective dashboards), Date last sampled, Trend (based on the change between the averages of the two most recent weeks), and Service Area for city names and regions if known. All data presented are smoothed to even out inconsistent sampling dates and extreme highs and lows. Most sewersheds are sampled 1-3 times a week and are published within a week. Some locations are late reporting by 10 days or more so be sure to note your sewershed's Date the table or graph. Locations that are more than two weeks old will have n/a listed under Trend to indicate there is not enough data or it is out of date. Bold lines in the tables are new since the previous update.

I've been neglecting getting my shot due to stress and anxiety, so I'm going to call around to find a dealer who utilizes the bridge program tomorrow. It's a lovely feeling having supposed loved ones taking no precautions at all. What used to be my favorite season and string of holidays has turned into a lonely anxiety ridden hellscape. Also getting dates is ultra hard now.

Anyone got a good website for tracking real covid numbers in Australia?https://www.health.gov.au/topics/covid-19/weekly-reporting shows nothing is going on but there are news articles popping up in Australian media that there is a wave kicking off everywhere, they're seeing it in 'the data'. I used to check googles data, then the above, to stay ahead and know when to implement my extra precautions but now it's fuckin dogshit, also they're switching to monthly data refreshes lol

There is currently no way to track real covid numbers in Australia. They stopped including positive RAT tests in the Australian case numbers a while ago and you currently need to get a referral from your GP to get a PCR so testing & reporting are only a tiny fraction of what they used to be and a much less reliable indicator of 'real' case numbers. The best we can do is look at hospitalization numbers and work backwards from there, and the best source for that is this Twitter feed: But note that each Australian state has a different criteria for what counts as a covid hospitalization and some of them have weakened the criteria even further in recent months so that's not even as accurate an indicator as it used to be. But on top of that Australia just went from weekly data updates to monthly data updates so there'll be some data next week but the next update after that will be  . Perfect timing, just as wave #8 is really starting to kick off!That Twitter feed might be able to cobble together some weekly data from other sources or maybe not, we'll just have to wait and see.

A correction: some states/territories still allow positive RATs to be reported. Note that Vic/NSW/Qld don't report RATs and they have ~80% of of the country's population so this is pretty pointless https://twitter.com/dbRaevn/status/1715282677396607147

yeah there's been an extremely dependable pattern here, for basically all the waves since 2022 -my boss is like "hm be careful, covid's around" -which means that last week the media was reporting "covid increasing" -which means we're actually already at peak hospitalisations -which means peak cases (which no one measures anymore) were 2-4 weeks ago -which means we're like a month+ out from everyone at work being like "huh everyone seems to be getting sick"

I just don’t understand what this is meant to prevent. I guess the goal here is that people can’t blend in with the masses of masked people, so you’ll have a clear shot of their face to show to the police after they shoplift, so that the police will go and catch them. There are a couple pretty obvious problems with that plan that make me think this doesn’t actually solve a problem

I think it's literally just people not wanting folks to wear masks and maybe weird manager/landlord propaganda about thieves in masks or something. It definitely seems like a manufactured concern.

There are a couple pretty obvious problems with that plan that make me think this doesn’t actually solve a problem much like the periodic thread drama brigades, the impulse is to silence and flatten difference. literally to normalize going back into the store without masks. why this particular type of thing keeps happening is pretty bizarre to me too. my whole life the only thing we really tried to normalize in public was being fully clothed and civil.

Not to provide advice, just anecdata, is that my extended family has been told that if they want the kids and grandkids to eat inside they all need to mask everywhere for the 10 days prior to the visit. I've volunteered use of my Cue device for the homeowners to use while everyone else waits in the car.

Article showing 9 long COVID associated and plasma accessible biomarkers of complement dysregulation, of which a mere 4 can successfully diagnose long COVID with 78.5% accuracy: "Complement dysregulation is a predictive and therapeutically amenable feature of long COVID" https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.26.23297597v1 posted:ABSTRACT It goes without saying - but I am going to say it anyways - that when research like this is conducted, the cohort is refined to increase the likelihood of positive signal. In this case the long COVID+ cohort and long COVID- control both had at least one severe COVID infection. It is therefore impossible to determine if the accuracy only applies when long COVID is a consequence of hospitalization. Either way more biomarkers are always welcome.
