The average person may not be a health economist, but they have known young people who died to cancer. It’s as simple as that. Cancer and heart disease both kill a lot of people in old age, but cancer kills more kids. And it kills after months of agony, not suddenly in the night. The people are right to say “gently caress cancer”.

I've started seeing targeted ads on social media suggesting Australians get vaxxed for Japanese Encephalitis if they're in an area which saw flooding recently Apparently they only have a limited number of doses available and I don't meet the JE vaxx eligibility criteria for Victorians but if any Ozposters are in a damp zone then go get that poo poo There's links to the various state Dept of Health JE pages under 'Resources and support' here: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/japanese-encephalitis

"Infants born to COVID-infected mothers found to have triple the risk of developing respiratory distress"https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-01-infants-born-covid-infected-mothers.html posted:New UCLA-led research finds that infants born full term to mothers who were infected with COVID-19 during pregnancy had three times the risk of having respiratory distress compared with unexposed infants, even though they themselves were not infected with the virus.

Doing a deep dive on Danish death statistics. The non-COVID number - which is 4.7% of total deaths - is "death without death certificate". Sources: The official and very granular death statistics - https://www.esundhed.dk/Emner/Hvad-doer-vi-af/Doedsaarsager The definition of Dødsfald uden medicinske oplysninger: https://sundhedsdatastyrelsen.dk/-/media/sds/filer/find-tal-og-analyser/doedsaarsager/doedsaarsagsregisteret_2021.pdf Edit: It is at this time I conclude that the EU excess death statistics are based on finalized death certificates: And that COVID death certificates are somehow not finalized for the initial Omicron wave: Pingui has issued a correction as of 16:19 on Jan 24, 2024 |

I started commuting by bus to my new job and I’m really surprised by how often I see other people masking. I’m often the only masked person at the grocery store or at events with friends but typically there’s at least 1-3 other maskers on the bus—it’s a tossup if they’re wearing a surgical mask, cloth mask or n95.

He means us, the little people. All the rich people are going to keep avoiding carcinogens and trying to live as long as they can but the rest of us are expendable e: Having fully read that article, that's absolutely insane. my wife's mother died of breast cancer at 42 and my father died from a brain tumor at 46, both might still be alive today with better screening. I thought people were joking about the covid playbook being applied to cancer but no, that's exactly what the article says, "most people dying from it are old so who cares" Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud has issued a correction as of 15:54 on Jan 24, 2024 |

Speaking of things disappearing, one of my longest-standing co-workers has had long covid since 2022 (post Omicron I think, I'm not exactly sure when she got sick originally) and it has finally beaten her down enough that she's quitting at the end of the month. I didn't probe her too heavily about it but it's pretty apparent that this is the final defeat in a years long struggle, she likes her job a lot, was promoted even after she got sick, etc. But she just can't sustain it anymore, the fatigue crashes are so bad it's making it impossible for her to live. She's not sure if she can work a full time job at all anymore and might end up moving back in with her parents (she's almost 40) just to stabilize her finances and make sure they collectively have enough money to live on for the long haul. Everyone will go in the day afterward and continue the act of Returning to Normal, absent a person I've worked with for almost ten years. Some other, probably less capable person will pick up her work. No one will speak about her again. That's the end of the story, no moral.

Yeah but somewhere else, someone received Applebees. I can definitely see someday if I'm not able to work remotely anymore, I'll have to take some much shittier remote job and everybody I've worked with for 10 years will forget about me immediately.

I want to make this dude live near a superfund site. Or across from an orchard that sprays pesticides all the time. According to him, it's nothing to worry about! There isn't even a point in there, it's just "lol, don't be afraid of cancer." Didn't want to be this angry today.

My heart goes out for her. I'm having a similar struggle and I would've given up a while ago if I wasn't able to work part time and remote. We had layoffs late last year and that made me think of a possible backup plan. It so demoralizing.

Yah cancer is the loving worst, and morphine is so loving controlled now we were getting it metered out by the day, and couldn't get authorized increases in time (think about this before taking your loved one out of the hospital to die at home). Makes you rethink your stance on euthanasia, that's for sure. Anyone who isn't afraid of cancer is a giant dumbass. edit: bah.

Chamale posted:This data has to be calculated, because it's not like the CDC wants people to be able to put the data in perspective. The study that says 1 in 120 miles is driven by a drunk driver is from 1993. In 2019, there were 3.26 trillion miles driven, so that's 27 billion drunk miles. In 2019, 10,142 people died in drunk-driving-related accidents, so the death rate is about 1 per 27 million miles driven (not necessarily in children - but let's assume that most drunk drivers drive alone).

Ended up finding this vendor for the European 4-in-1 tests: https://www.measie.com/product/4-in-1-combo-test/ Anyone know anything about these guys? They're out of the Netherlands and have no clear "can I order these to Canada?" on their site, but I might see if I can order them to have them if shipping isn't outrageous.
