the thing is the “unchecked rise” occurred before all this Covid business happened and western government not giving a poo poo about human life is only more obvious now that they admit they don’t care about you. it’s more obvious when it’s 45 billion to bomb brown children in a refugee camp but 0 days off for the guy building wiring harnesses for the bombs in the MIC workshop when he picks up his fifth covid round from a Super Bowl party. fascism is a function of capitalism in crisis.

tbh I’m glad America is stumbling towards the grave. it was never a question of if it would take human lives along with it, just a matter of how many. stay safe and don’t be one of them if you can help it. good luck.

Wifezwang and I had kiddo #2 this past weekend. Our toddler was unable to visit us in the hospital because there's a policy against young children visiting certain wards. To limit the spread of respiratory viruses. Why no, there's no mask mandate in those wards*; why do you ask?

I'd say 70-80% of staff wore surgicals when in patient rooms, at least. One nurse had a KN95 - except when she didn't. The only N95 (with eye protection!) I saw was on a transport dude. Sadly though, he was not our transport dude. Here's hoping the big Levoit I brought in was enough.

*except the bone marrow transplant one; those people don't gently caress around

Yay for baby! Welcome to your newest family member.

Went to a restaurant and now I have a head cold. Not testing as covid.

I can't believe I was so stupid. It wasn't at all worth it either, the food was lousy and overpriced.

This is the price of optimism. I never got sick when I was a doomlord shuffling between work and home while masked and otherwise doing the bare minimum outside of those places. I'm officially done with sit down restaurants, it's never worth it anymore anyway.

Is the "bringing this to my attention again" to imply they've been waiting for a reply from the CDC so long that they realize they should follow up? Maybe there's an internal push locally to start posting their own calculation rather than copy&pasting what's off the CDC site? Who knows! But yay for someone down here paying attention :toot:

When Portland resident Jessica Rogers-Hall came down with COVID last month – her third time – she followed the Oregon Health Authority’s advice.

She isolated when she truly felt sick. And after a day, when she began to feel better, she donned a mask and returned to her job as a life coach for people experiencing homelessness.

Others in her circle of friends and associates, including a restaurant worker and an airline pilot, who tested positive around the same time, also followed Oregon’s recommendations: Those with fevers or other debilitating symptoms stayed home for a couple days, but returned to work after that.

Rogers-Hall thinks Oregon is taking the right approach by telling the public their lives don’t have to come to a standstill when they catch the virus. Specifically, that it’s OK to go out with COVID as long as they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours and any symptoms they might have are improving. Officials just ask that those with the virus try to avoid immunocompromised people and wear a mask for 10 days.

“COVID is everywhere,” Rogers-Hall said. “Life goes on. It has to go on.”

Testing, isolating and wearing masks when sick are the best practices. But he said a recommendation is futile if most people aren’t following it. So Oregon’s and California’s policies could end up doing the most good, by at least encouraging people to mask whenever they have COVID-like symptoms, he said. Masks could protect others against diseases such as RSV and the flu, too.

“That should be the big takeaway,” Karan said, “that you can stop ongoing transmission even if you’re not isolating.”

I love how fever is always arbitrarily thrown in as a no-no too, just to maintain the illusion of public health remaining in place.

Who gives a poo poo about fever compared to other symptoms? It doesn't matter! You're contagious with or without one, and with or without symptoms at all! I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I love having to announce my private medical information to basically everyone I interact with so that I can get even the most basic accommodation and not get someone coughing directly in my face.

I can't wait until I have to show a special ID card everywhere to be allowed to wear a mask without getting shot or arrested.

My spouse and I have been on the same page for well over a year now, and that's probably not changing anytime soon. My kids all enjoy masks and not getting sick. It's weird, my family is actually in alignment on everything re:Covid.

However, my parents, siblings, and relatives are all loving sick of my family's Covid precautions and clearly deeply resent me and my wife because of them. I didn't think the people I grew up with would grumble so openly about having to consistently take steps to protect my kids, but here we are.

Mmm yah had to do this at colonoscopy, grilled about it and had to announce to a crowded room of patients just exactly what my deal was.
