That seems high. Annectotally I know people who got hit three times, but seven Ah, misread. Yeah in another 4 years. I can see this. Seven times was also the result of my napkin math about how many reinfections will give half the population long covid. Excited to find out whether I guessed right. genericnick has issued a correction as of 11:21 on Mar 13, 2024 |

Seem to me trying to sweep half of the population becoming disabled with long Covid under the carpet in scant few years is impossible, but I'm excited to see how and what mental loops they'll come up with!

It always have been like this might work if it was over a bit longer time of period, not in 3 or 4 years. I don't think that people's memories are that bad that they cannot remember what happened 6 months ago much less a few years

wow, I really appreciate all the advice and responsiveness. I started a new job last year at an animal hospital and it was never mentioned during the interview. the only comments anyone ever made to me about it were "oh yeah, you can't smell that because your mask." about 4 months in someone finally asked why I mask all the time, so I lied and said I care for someone who's immunocompromised. they said they understood and didn't pursue it further. most of our staff has been sick 1 or more times in the past few months. two are pregnant and the one who had been coughing for 8+ weeks was telling the other she thought covid had been over for a while. some days I would see 1 or 2 coworkers wearing a surgical in the morning while sipping a drink then no mask a few hours later. couple of days ago in our slack chat, 1 coworker's kid has strep throat and diarrhea but getting dropped at school and another had to call out to take their sick kid to the doctor. sorry for the rant but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! the new new job would be at a plant nursery.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah I've done several job interviews and absolutely no one questioned my mask. The only comment I got was one guy who said "Masks are still compulsory here out on the floor, which I see wouldn't be a problem for you." We were in the back-of-house area and absolutely no one was masking back there, lol. Yeah this would genuinely be my concern. I don't think anyone is going to make fun of you and say you're not getting the job because you showed up to the interview in a mask but the second you walk out of that room and hiring team starts talking to each other about "culture fit" it could be over.

That's going to be orthodoxy going forward, that "the lockdown" caused all the problems. We will never see a serious public health response to anything ever again.

They already have their play. Immunity debt from lockdowns. I'm sure in a few years we'll learn about the dreadful long term consequences of that immunity debt.

If you went 12 months without touching another human being that's cause no human beings wanted to touch you lol. There was no where in the country with requirements that strict even at the start of lockdowns.

I take the point about nowhere having even remotely anything close to a MANDATE to not touch people.

I’ll have to figure out during the early days of the pandemic when I learned about better masks. I still have my unopening single N95 that was like a last resort since we were using cloth masks at the time. thanks thread. sonatinas has issued a correction as of 17:30 on Mar 13, 2024 |

PoundSand posted:Fair, but that wasn't due to "lockdowns". Any kind of voluntary measures to prevent disease spread must be cast as a "lockdown" to make it unthinkable. Disease happens and there's no way to prevent it, go live your life (consume).

Here in Melbourne Australia we had real proper lockdowns where you were only allowed to leave your house to exercise for 1hr a day (with exceptions for emergencies), you couldn't travel more than 5km from your home, weren't allowed to gather in public etc etc. and even then we had carveouts for visiting significant others and compassionate visits to family. No one outside of China was getting welded into their houses.

I got banned from the reddit coronavirus subreddit for posting a link to a scientific paper about viral infections impact on the heart and myocarditis. When I asked why I was banned, I was told "fear mongering and misinformation" and muted. The discourse around public health is so loving stupid.

NPR has written an article about Paul Alexander's life and death, while completely omitting that COVID is what killed him. You'd think that would be a relevant detail in the article about the man who got disabled by a major disease that impacted this nation, but no. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1238251518/iron-lung-polio-paul-alexander It just pisses me off. The guy absolutely did not get COVID himself by going out and about. Someone infectious must have come into his space. Public health kept him alive until society gave up, and that killed him.

Yah I got banned off of there as well. Although if I remember right it was because I used sarcasm, the minimizer reported me for "misinformation", and the mod banned me without actually bothering to look at any context.
