Pingui posted:I am currently watching the WHO COVID-19 live update and I think this about sums it up (live poll on participants): lol that "nothing" is the dominant response, even among people who are tuned in to covid enough to attend a WHO briefing anyway what's up with this (highlighted bit): am i parsing that wrong or are they saying that other RAT brands *aren't* useful for the BA.2.86 family?

I had a sore throat for one day, and then a sinus congestion and runny nose for one day, and I am more or less fine on the next day. Totally clear on the day after that. I've had six vaccines, most recently in October 2023. did I just get Covid and kick it?

hey guys how’s every doing? I’m halfway through my third anti fungal trying to get rid of this tongue bullshit, but it looks like my sleep issues finally broke… only for me to have shortness of breath all week.

Pillowpants posted:hey guys how’s every doing? I took a job at K12 school so I can't wait to get covid every other week. I'm still wearing a respirator but I should probably start wearing safety goggles too with the amount of exposure I'm getting. Luckily I have a window I can crack open and they'll let me bring a corsi cube in for my office. Every day at least 1 student with a badly running nose comes to me for help, and at a potluck last week I'd say about 10-20% of the teachers were visibly ill. No masks of course.

DominoKitten posted:I think a set of regular glasses gets you most of the way there protection wise, you can order them without prescription lenses. Perfect, I'm already getting the stink eye for being the only weirdo in a respirator. It's just the usual where people assume I'm the sick one and am mad I showed up for work but say nothing about the people who are maskless and coughing up a lung.

when I meet strangers I often open by pointing to my mask and saying “don’t worry, I’m not sick, I’m just paranoid” and it usually gets a chuckle

Rescue Toaster posted:I've had some weird rear end sore throat that turned into a permanent lump in throat sensation and/or weird tightness in my neck. Dr was just like "Sounds like an upper respiratory infection." I mean fair enough, but how the gently caress did I catch one if I wear an Aura even to wheel the trash cans out? Could be an inflamed epiglottis. I've had that before and it felt exactly like a lump in my throat. After a wicked sickness.

I believe these are what someone in the thread recommended to me a while back, but I haven't yet been able to get my prescription updated to make it worthwhile to grab some lawl https://www.zennioptical.com/b/safety-glasses You might have to peruse the selection a bit, or check with a different supplier, but apparently there's lots of compliant safety-glasses designs that are fairly low-profile and mostly just look like regular glasses now, periphery shielding and all. Even as paranoid as I personally am, I'd call it slightly overkill for the average person, but if you're working with groups all day, especially kids, the small bit of extra protection is probably worthwhile. As mentioned by others, you should be able to get them in a non-prescription variety. Maybe find a cool blazer and just become the stylish apocalypse teacher or something idk

Another update was recently posted on PhysicsGirl's channel. She thanked everyone for all the support. But she had to do it via a dry-erase board that she wrote on because she can barely talk. Her husband is extremely supportive and caring, so she has that going for her at least. I hope their Patreon remains strong for awhile because idk what they'd do without it.

The lack of action on our converging crises wrt public health, housing, food insecurity, failing infrastructure, etc make it pretty clear that folks in charge think most of us are surplus to whatever their project is and that they're just fine with abandoning us to our fate.
