I just got my kid tickets to a comedy show for April. Ticket is the first row, corner next to the central aisle, so there's as much airflow as I can get, and there will of course be an Aura. I was hoping that by April, we'd maybe be in the lower end of the curve (after Christmas, before spring break), and we could maybe even take the train. Kids love trains. It's hard to plan the logistics of a trip when you don't know how risky any action is. My driving downtown in a major city will almost assuredly get us killed, though.

I'm so glad we don't have to contend with AI translations for this one, it's such a good article and we can see the media finally! Interesting to see that David Steadson's cumulative risk chart made it into the article sans the 1% and 3% lines. Here's the chart he's got pinned to his Twitter account,  and here's the version appearing in the article, hell if I know why he altered it for the article

yeah, thanks for these. My spouse really wants to go visit her family with our kids over the NYE weekend. Generally we've been pretty Open Biden this year, but, we live in a remote area compared to where she's talking about going and poo poo is really bad right now and we just had loving COVID and they have ongoing fatigue from it. I am hoping that these nice graphics are persuasive that even if it's kind of an annoying pain in the rear end to kick the can on this trip down the road a little bit, if we're going to do it, it makes sense to wait until we're past the peak and decline of whatever the gently caress hellscape we're going into and past the "return to school" 2nd hit round of transmission. The fact that we just had COVID doesn't mean much to me beyond not wanting to get it again. My spouse had been boosted ~3 weeks prior to getting tagged; if being at the height of vax immunity didn't do jack poo poo to protect them (they got sicker than any of us, in some ways), then I don't believe that being at the height of post-COVID immune fuckery is going to protect me from anything except maybe a too long lifespan.

20$ for a single bottle? That's kinda ridiculous price to pay for a probiotic pills. I'm just gonna stick to my Cool Plus Probiotic diary drinks, it's cheaper and at least it's a nice way to finish off my beets dinner

not the first time i've heard. i had oral probiotics recommended to me by someone in the community for the throat blisters i had while infected. bought some NOW brand Oralbiotic, the only one I could find called that. added to my arsenel of "maybe works, who the gently caress knows" bottles that i keep on hand for use if infected. Paxlovid CBD (not THC, which interferes.) Famitodine Lactobacillus plantarum (probiotic, found in many bottles labelled "PB8") Green tea Supplemental Vitamin D Supplemental Lutein Frozen Natto (is there an easier-to-find source of Nattokinase? Natto-Serra pills?) CPC mouthwash baby aspririn (for clots) oralbiotic for throat blisters Warm bath for chest pain Fluids, rest, keeping heart rate down, food, tons of sleep maxwellhill has issued a correction as of 21:18 on Dec 20, 2023 |

Alright, I had close exposure to someone covid positive and this thread has me thinking about some kind of poop brew swab scenario, this better not be some kind of elaborate prank. What exactly is the deal with poop and RATs? e: Like I recall people talking about letting their poo poo just kinda, brew, in the toilet for 20 mins and then swabbing the water? Is this real?? Am I being owned??? Samuel Glompers has issued a correction as of 23:02 on Dec 20, 2023 |

I think the best part about the US experiencing a two year long medical emergency as a nation, not one single time was creating a universal healthcare system that consolidates costs and makes accessing healthcare easier was ever discussed. Zero interest despite the majority of Americans regardless of political affiliation agreeing with it. God bless America.

just do some regular rats roughly four days after exposure don't worry about your poop lol swab your throat first goon You'll either be symptomatic and you should absolutely assume it's Covid at four days or you'll be far enough into the course where it'll start showing up on rats

but also if you: a) test negative right before going, b) wear a high-quality, well-sealed mask the entire time, and c) up their filtration and/or ventilation game in any ways you can then your chances of transmitting covid are really really really really low. also d) get your grandma pax asap if you're in usa i suppose i'm assuming this is a "stop by for a few hours" deal, not a "stay for the whole weekend deal" though. but maybe a hotel could turn the latter into the former if needed?

Had to call my cable company about something - poor guy on the phone could barely string together 3 words without coughing and he was very clearly congested. The increase in sick people this fall so far has been really noticeable compared to last year.

If you're not symptomatic, testing negative on throat + nose RATs and wearing a sealed, unvented N95 the whole time, I wouldn't worry about it. If you were testing negative on a PCR or home equivalent like a Lucira or Metrix, I wouldn't even be worried about it enough to wear a mask, personally. Even if you end up getting COVID after that, a same-day negative on a molecular amplification test means it's just vanishingly unlikely you're shedding enough virus at that point to give it to someone else.Samuel Glompers posted:In all sincerity, I don't want to expose family members to covid this Christmas and am doing the insane balancing act of the drama for cancelling vs potentially giving grandma a deadly virus. I'd truly appreciate any advice the thread has, I'm looking back through past posts and haven't found anything about it so far Taking steps to avoid giving your family a potentially serious illness when you know you were recently exposed to a positive person is admirable, but more importantly it's something you can control and have some agency about deciding. Other people's interpretation of whether that's overkill or ruining family Christmas isn't something you can control and it's not up to you. Act accordingly.
