dxt posted:Is there a way to fix this on the Coway? Tape around the filter or something? Double posting because I'm too lazy to copy the quote Check all of your purifiers and see if your filters have any gaps. Maybe I just got a bad unit. If there is a gap, you could stuff the gap with a folded sheet of paper (like fold it 4 times along hotdog axis, maybe it'll take more than one sheet. For me, tape would be a last resort because I really don't want to damage the filter media or jeopardize a return.

According to the doctor at Disney’s urgent care, influenza is rampant at WDW right now. (self.WaltDisneyWorld)quote:Was at Epcot yesterday and MK today. Lots of nasty sounding coughing. I’ve had COVID and flu vaccines but I won’t be shocked if I get sick this week. quote:Same. It was really gross, with the nastiest humans imaginable just open mouth coughing all over the place. quote:I’m all for staying home but you can’t expect people who’ve been saving for months/years and with limited vacation days to not go to WDW if they’re still mobile quote:Yes i can. Cast members are constantly getting sick because people don't know how to stay home, or at least put on a mask. quote:If they're sick and contagious, yes the frak I can. quote:I’m a cast member….so many coughing people. Trying to keep my distance but still friendly quote:My condolences. I have a ton of different N95s if you need them. I wear an elastomeric so I just stock up for when friends and family come to visit me or I have people working on my condo. Be safe out there. quote:Disney can be strict about what kind of masks we can wear. I was told in training to only wear surgical ones or a cloth one. quote:That’s terrible! Those don’t offer much protection at all. I’m sorry. quote:Not the most popular opinion on here as I’ve learned from experience, but wearing a mask in a busy area will help more than “we kept sanitizing our hands!” Especially when the person next to you in line is hacking away. quote:Fully support the wearing of a filtering mask in a busy area but the flu is spread through droplets so keeping clean hands is also a huge part of preventing flu. quote:The flu is airborne too. quote:The transmission of the flu is through droplets - it is not airborne. quote:Yeah, I was also told this in nursing school back in the day, but it turns out it's not true whatsoever. Scientists have known since at least as early as the 1960s that influenza was airborne, but for some reason (probably pushback from the miasma vs. cholera-water debacle?), they just kept telling everyone, even medical professionals, that it was only spread through droplets. I ended up becoming a teacher and had to leave because I was constantly in the hospital despite impeccable handwashing, so I was also incredulous. And then livid. /r/waltdisneyworld has the good doctors, the ones that you want to get. quote:Covid causes weakened immune systems. There is now abundant evidence that it severely depletes a portion of the immune system to the point of drastically reducing it's function. We would have seen the worst surges in non-covid illnesses immediately after we relaxed restrictions, with it improving steadily in the three years since, instead of seeing severe illness now, if this was entirely or primarily because of immunity debt. We are past paying back that debt. These surges are because people are weakened from one or more recent bouts of covid and are much more susceptible to RSV/Influenza/TB (plus more covid) and lots of other communicable disease now. quote:Yeah, even Good Morning America of all places is talking about covid-related immune dysfunction now! Finally!!! I guess I shouldn't be surprised though—so many smart people STILL think covid is spread by droplets and that washing your hands is all you need to do to protect yourself. 😭 quote:The concept of "immunity debt" is junk. quote:Last night at a holiday party multiple people were talking about how they ALL caught covid during trips to WDW over the past year. Like 5 separate people. I feel like infectious diseases are probably rampant at places like that, due to multiple compounding factors such as: Disney adults are flanking DSA from the left. You love to see it, folks.

Pingui posted:An unsurprising finding, though it is "good" to see the data being explored. A brief note on the difference between persistent symptoms vs severe COVID, and why the latter is less of a factor than one might expect, it is worth noting the time frame only goes to 2021 and in the early stages of the pandemic hospitalizations costs were covered for all. As such - and to the extent that they per definition don't have long term symptoms - it is unsurprising that the effect is much smaller as it effectively amounts to being out of the job market for a time, but getting back while it was still booming. it’s a good thing 98% of economic activity takes place within just 5% of families!

Pretty sure the gov't here in Alberta wants Health Care to struggle so they can privatize as much of it as possible (for their investors/bankrollers). Doctors and nurses are leaving in droves (why wouldn't they), so they might get their wish sooner than later.  Hmmm. Might be covid contributing to the full emerg depts in Edmonton.

breaking public healthcare as an excuse to privatize it isn't an alberta thing, it's an "everywhere neoliberalism is the dominant ideology" thing. covid's been helping tremendously with that but it was already underway before the pandemic

I just can't keep on giving out good quality masks anymore. It's frustrating to have my stockpile dwindling down and I only see the folks I gave masks the next time we meet to just wear those lovely surgical masks (if they even wear one). I just can't afford it anymore with the prices on everything else going up.

friend of mine in NYC who is very scared of covid but follows zero news on it has typically been a good bellwether re: covid getting super bad she messaged me yesterday and said "wow everyone in my office has covid. is it bad now?" lol for ref she's masks well and hasn't gotten covid yet so she's doing good but just kinda funny how she interfaces with it (e: and before anyone says she's gotten covid and hasn't told me, she's the type who tells me every time she has a sniffle and gets all bent out of shape about it, i tell her to test, she does, it's negative, she feels better 12 hours later. so i legit think she's covid free) Soap Scum has issued a correction as of 18:38 on Dec 13, 2023 |
