Rescue Toaster posted:5 hPa = 500 Pascals = nearly two INCHES of water column Haha yeah oops. I meant 5 pascals, not 5 hectopascals quote:So realistically speaking, most people can achieve negative pressure easily most of the time, if you seal obvious gaps in the room and have a decent window fan. But you will always have periods of time where the room goes positive pressure. So you will need corsi cubes inside and outside the room to help handle those events. I put negative pressure in my list first because it's something people are probably not thinking about or doing since it's only really relevant when you're trying to isolate a sick person (vs filters, which you can do all the time). I think it's entirely worth doing both. Speaking of corsi boxes, I got a luggable from https://www.cleanairkits.com/products/luggables. For the price point, I'm kind of surprised they didn't throw in some gaffer and foam tape (which you need to actually seal the box).

Christmas is cancelled thanks to RSV. Too many old people and can’t risk getting them sick with something that is really bad for them. Glad we couldn’t get vaccinated before school started and thankful for the assholes who brought their kids sick to school last week. Also the doctor who probably had RSV and was coughing a ton when we saw him two weeks ago.

I'd never heard of RSV until what, 2 years ago? Now it's this crazy, killer poo poo! Maybe hyping it up to get people to do some mitigation again is actually genius? Don't worry about the plandemic, but this RSV is no joke, I tell you what boy.

I wonder if a bunch of people getting each other sick at a big ol thanksgiving gatherings, taking a month to spread what they picked up from friens and family around their return to office jobsites, then going back for a second large family gathering at christmas and finally topping that off with a large new years bash is going to result in a spike of cases?

Welp, really can't wait to get into the eye dr  When I was googling eye stuff and covid most of what I found was long covid people with focal plane problems that didn't sound exactly like what I am experiencing, which seemed good because it sounds neurological but Pre-COVID I was worried about my eyes and on a test my close-up was fine, same in both eyes, my distance vision was somewhat impaired, same in both eyes. Got a script for identical-strength distance lenses, which I was told I could use as much or little as seemed helpful, and I have not used them a tremendous amount. What I notice today: Right eye: significantly impaired close up vision, magazines basically unreadable. Much better distance vision than left eye. Left eye: the reverse of these things. That's a weird loving change, whatever the cause, and makes me think that when I'm looking at poo poo in the distance my right eye is doing most of the work, and vice versa, which probably is not a good thing to be doing to my brain and maybe I now need two sets of full-time glasses to correct both things This could be totally unrelated to having had COVID that sealed both of my eyes 2 nights in a row and made my right eye bloodshot and blurry for most of 2 entire days, but  I sorta doubt it.I can't read some of my synthesizer OLEDs with my right eye anymore, so, I'm gonna have to do something* * "something" may include being told to gently caress off by the medical establishment, sighing, and smoking more weed. Strep Vote posted:Classes start January 2nd for me and the kid 🙃 I'm talking our older kid into masking again at least for the first month of second semester; I am actively looking at better air purification for my office room, and considering the kind of drastic step of just not having dinner with wife & younger kid for a while, and hanging out with them masked instead. I feel like the odds of one or both of them getting tagged by [i]something in the post-holiday period is pretty high, and I don't want to be sick again, COVID or something less lovely (or, you know, more lovely, it does still happen).

Perhaps it changed the shape of your eye, ie thickened choroid (the vascular bit) and thinned retina (the neuronal/glial bit). Pingui posted:Fortunately where we're going, this particular sense isn't needed to see. Strep Vote posted:Loss of neuronal tissue and i would not be surprised if a thicker choroid as well leads to visual distortions due to the changes in the eyeball shape. Someone give me a medical license. E: farsightedness is when your eyeball is too short (so that's your infected eye) and nearsightedness is when the eyeball is too long ("normal" left eye).

'Tis the season quote:For 79-year-old Adelaide resident Marnie Hamilton, the Christmas period is a time to ensure her health and wellbeing is upheld, even while she is with her immediate family. Sounds like she's relying on her family to test and won't be masking, we all know how that can go.

So far I'm thirty six hours into a 72 hour cross country trip to visit my family for the first time since covid started. I've got an N95 welded to my face and brought an air purifier for the hotel room. Amusingly my family has never mentioned the mask but rather seem to want to pretend it doesn't exist. Lots of "want anything to drink" and "where should we go out to eat". Many shocked pokachu faces when I tell them I will just get takeout, etc. lol. Figure if I'm gonna get tagged it'll be this that does it but I'm actually taking as many precautions as I can while taking the big risk at least. Won't know for a few days either way but fingers crossed the person on the 3M manufacturing line had their coffee the day they made my batch. Only trust your respirators.

Strep Vote posted:Perhaps it changed the shape of your eye, ie thickened choroid (the vascular bit) and thinned retina (the neuronal/glial bit). I believe I had a pretty thourough exam including dialation etc; I'm less sure what if this they would be able to see, but I'll be interested to hear what they make of it. The prospect of this being progressive or something would be awful but weirdly taking a hit to my vision just has me thinking "huh". No denial, no bargaining. I feel like I did that whole process so much with the tinnitus that I still have, that I will only get real headfucked by health again when something worse comes along. Total blindness, near blindness, or a general inability to enjoy visual things would meet that bar but the current level of disability is something I am finding myself pensive about but kind of taking in stride. I do some amount of voluntary dumb poo poo that carries a risk of TBIs (skiing, off-road electric biking, etc); it's interesting to consider my annoyance here at viruses in general and our culture in specific, vs how I'd feel if the same thing felt self-inflicted. To a large degree I have always blamed myself a lot for the incident that caused my tinnitus to get worse but I don't think that was too much of a factor in the intolerable anxious distress that came along with. Happy holidays. We're all safe and warm and not going anywhere so if no one shows any symptoms of anything in the next 2-3 days I may make it a couple whole weeks "in health"!! Inshallah.

I've got an N95 welded to my face and brought an air purifier for the hotel room. I can somewhat understand doing this if you're staying home as a couple or single but what family get togethers simply must go to applebees for the holidays? What are you bringing the family together for if not a feast? And there's always infinity leftovers. If no one wants to cook most grocery places offer like a holiday special anyways. Quick lets have everyone drive 5 hours to grandma's place so we can go to golden corral?

I have a huge family (7 aunts, 4 uncles, generations of cousins, yes my grandparents are Catholic) and at a certain point we had to start renting out halls for Christmas because everybody couldn't fit in the same house. We'd cook for Thanksgiving, but for Christmas we just started getting pizza because it's too much hassle.
