mawarannahr posted:I think that is strong After receiving goonish advice, I did just go with open windows and furnace fan. They were working in my room for about twenty minutes, about three hours ago, but I've had the window open and the ceiling fan going. I've been masking in here all day, but I can probably unmask here and let the rest of the house air out until dinner. I'll keep the humidifier, though, in case of active infection in the house. It sounds like running it for just a few hours will kill off everything in the air, and two hours a day for ten days will probably not be too destructive.

Indoor Dying posted:Picturing all of the unmasked people at the Learning From Long Covid conference You are correct. I think there's one person with a KN95 in the audience. I like to imagine that there are still some COVID-cautious experts, but they chose to watch the livestream.

spiritual bypass posted:why so much talk about rsv? graphs always show so few cases compared to covid amd flu Because nobody want to hear anything about Covid at all anymore, and the flu is just the flu. It's perfect to say RSV when you want to say something about how so many people are getting sick nowadays

CGI Stardust posted:JCVI: "there's no evidence of sufficiently high quality and consistency to support vaccination having any protection against Long COVID so we're not going to include its potential effects in our calculations" They're right though. Thinking the vaccination is adequate protection against long covid is ridiculous cope. Literally every person I know that developed long covid after the vaccines availability was vaccinated + boosted (including myself)

Postcards from plague world, new england: * spent part of my kid's 15-minute school play in slight anxiety, having left my n95 in the car and having insufficient time to get it. * looking around, noticed probably 15-20% of adults in N95s and a handful of kids (up from ~5% and 0 a month or so ago) * I noticed there were 2 large corsi cubes in the room with the fans cranked that appeared well constructed, which made me feel a bit better. That's also not a thing the school was doing a month * more people that I am talking to seem not open but outright resigned to the idea there's some hosed-up COVID related fuckiness happening now. I think of my brother as a brunch lib but really he's a doomer who keeps it in a deep drawer; when I mentioned some of this to him he immediately said he had a very active, healthy friend who had just had a stroke and been told "your one and only risk factor, is that you have COVID six months ago" and has another friend with some kind of hosed up lung thing that is definitely COVID damage Of course there's still dumb levels of politicization around everything and I am in a pretty blue/green area, but it does seem to me like the cultural perception is shifting, and behavior along with it. Also, my dreaded conversation with my spouse, was nothing I needed to dread: they looked at everything I sent them as well as some other stuff, and landed pretty quickly on "yea I agree it does not make sense to travel to visit children in another city right now, let's see where things go after the holiday and the almost inevitable double-peak we'll see after that". I dunno why I expected any different, they are objectively smarter than I am in most ways I can think of.

This is your reminder that dentists did not wear gloves prior to learning about HIV, and that many of them bitterly resisted gloves even after that. spiritual bypass posted:why so much talk about rsv? graphs always show so few cases compared to covid amd flu RSV is like “ISIS’s second-in-command” that they have to hype to the Moon to deflect from their inability to accomplish anything.

There are a surprising number of goons getting owned by forgetting their respirators. Put some in your jackets’ pockets. Maybe that will help.

Someone's going to have to explain to me how this HOCl humidifier thing is meaningfully better than just running a corsi box or hepa filter sized to the space because it seems like a total faff to home-roll something that can make chlorine gas if you do it wrong

Instead of appealing to “please don’t gas yourself”, I raise “the acid is depositing in the filters of your air purifiers and potentially your respirators and rendering them less effective.”

we found something stupider than using UV to fight covid both will technically work but you need to be in "lol, lmao" intensity/concentration to actually be effective against anything other than the faintest trace of aerosolized vectors congratulations, we did it

HOCl is an antiseptic. as far as I can tell the people who were advocating huffing it were only doing it occasionally, like the betadine or carrageenan sprays, not breathing it all day

Potato Salad posted:we found something stupider than using UV to fight covid At least with 222nm UVC if you get a lamp that's correctly built and filtered it will work and do a little extra in terms of neutralizing stuff before it passes through your air filter and you can just turn it on when you want to use it. That's not good value for money vs more air purifiers but I get it. HOCl generator/humidifier setups you are constantly filling up water, adding salt, testing to make sure the ph is right so you're not poisoning yourself, adding vinegar to correct the ph, cleaning the scuzz out of it because it's a humidifier, etc. It's like dealing with a fish-tank.

Using UV to fight the pandemic virus is smarter than almost everything there is. Using UV to fight COVID is stupid, because COVID is the disease, and once you have it, UV can’t do anything for you, weird Trump monologue notwithstanding.

it's like people have an innate, unspoken fear that filters remove some Divine Spark from the shared lung-gas that you would otherwise be freely breathing the lengths that people will go to just not breathe through a filter, in order to eliminate particulate virions that make your brain dumb and heart weak
