Potato Salad posted:It's going to be Death Panels 2, a hallucinatory yet permanently embedded lie in the brains of American voters from here. I should have known how covid was gonna go, having already known about the death panels propaganda. Like, what do people think insurance companies do everyday? Instead we did a total projection where we say other people are doing the thing we're doing. At least with a death panel, there's a reason, not just "We're denying a statin just because and it's on you to proof to our satisfaction otherwise" without even the complication of dealing with someone who is terminal, it's just the business model.

Speaking of molecular tests, looks like another one is coming out. https://3eohealth.com/preorder Similar pricing to Aptitude Metrix (which incidentally just dropped to $299 for 12 tests plus the reader bundle).

I completely wasn't thinking about that direction regarding covid either, despite how obvious it should have been looking back it just seemed at the time like this Big Medical Political Issue would be different. Even Donald Trump was up there telling people this was a serious thing, months and months after the rest of the right had peeled away into conspiracy land (poo poo I'm not even sure that the weirdos have converted him about covid yet. sure he's weird about vaccines and autism, but that didn't stop him from stumping that covid is actually really important and getting vaccinated would materially help) Trump aside, for a while it seemed that everybody was taking this pretty seriously, I wasn't thinking about how far into bad faith the antivaxxers would take this, or how successfully they would penetrate and convert one -- and then eventually both -- major parties in the United States Potato Salad has issued a correction as of 00:37 on Nov 8, 2023 |

I’ve been looking at this 3eo one and have questions like how long until the tests expire given that they don’t sell tests in smaller batches than 20 for $380. Might be consumer available I guess but not very consumer friendly.

I've been wondering lately if an actual sterilizing vaccine came out, how many people would voluntarily take it. USA, maybe 30-40%? Elsewhere 50? Would we get articles saying that herd immunity is finally possible, but at what cost?

An actual sterilizing vaccine would probably have similar takeup to the original shots. A big reason a lot of people got those was the promise of returning to life as usual, and once people realized that the vaccines were good, but not a cure-all, that's when the rates started going down. Heck even among this thread there's people who are constantly getting vaxxed but others who are weighing the efficacy against the severe side effects some people have.

Would we get articles saying that herd immunity is finally possible, but at what cost? less than 10% imo. vaccine hesitancy is insane after the cdc bullshit. got a bunch of friends with kids under 5 and they were all in a race to get flu vaxxed first. when I suggested covid it was “why”, “no thanks”, “that’s still going on”, and “get over your fears”

as the president of the HOA I had plumbers come over to fix a burst water pipe in our complex, the clowns broke the gas line so then I had to call in the gas company. one of the plumbers had to use my toilet and the gas company had to come in to inspect my gas appliances before turning the gas back on. put on a mask, opened the windows and moved the corsi cubes to where they were. my only concern now is whether my dog could be a vector

One of my chefs looks like he's aged ten years in a month after his most recent infection. Then again, he drinks like a fish and has had heart issues since before Covid. But that brings to mind one of the worst parts of all this. I'm going to see people I love die before their time because we didn't control this poo poo. And no one is coming to replace this man. I mean, no one could replace him, but also nobody's available to take over his job, seemingly. And I just know, somehow, that our rear end in a top hat boss will outlast everybody, Dick Cheney-like, and demand that us survivors just work harder. "Do two guys' jobs. Do three guys' jobs! Run the whole place yourself!" Animal-Mother has issued a correction as of 02:41 on Nov 8, 2023 |

DickParasite posted:I think many people genuinely don't have any idea how their insurance plans "work". Particularly if their full time employed and select from the employer plans. Yup. They don't know how bad they truly have it because it's just a line item on their paystub. If they used it for anything more than the occasional Rx or urgent care visit, they'd see how awful even good plans are and what a joke it all is.

Masking census on a bus from downtown Seattle going south during PM commuting hours Estimated between one third and one half masking at any given point, maybe briefly dipping to one out of four or five. This is actually much higher than I observe in most settings, even on public transit—light rail ridership is nowhere near as masked up Aranet highest reading was in the 1200s despite some windows being cracked open Our maskers: Me, the weirdo in my respirator, natch 1 black ear loop bifold with a ridiculous above nose tented gap because the nose wire wasn’t pushed into place Two more black ear loop bifolds more properly worn One surgical below nose most of the time One cloth over surgical double masker, below nose when seating but then corrected. At one point during the ride he inexplicably adds another surgical on top. I want to enfold this man in my loving embrace and give him a supply of auras One interesting bifold shape ear loop thing that might be fabric? Two decent trifold kn95/4 types, one white one pink One surgical worn below the chin Two more proper surgicals Another two proper surgicals Two more black ear loop bifolds Another black ear loop bifolder with two unmasked kids, I feel for them all trying to avoid this as a parent is so tough I got to give a hi five to a kid in front of me who put his shoes on his hands “because he was a spider” said his mom so A+ ride, would commute again

In which people discover that respirators are well‐designed equipment,quote:Once during a winter bike tour during COVID... I put my N95 Mask on to enter a store and forgot to take it off when I left... 20 minutes later as I was riding I couldn't figure out why my face was so warm....

I still haven't found a mask that eliminates glasses fogging so I understand it at least. Anyway, congenital syphilis is back: quote:The rise in sexually transmitted infections in the United States has taken a particularly tragic turn: More than 3,700 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in 2022, roughly 11 times the number recorded a decade ago, according to data released on Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
