Rick posted:Long vid but they talk about the “mystery illness” in December and January and why people who probably had covid weren’t testing positive. Thanks for this, this is a good one to send to friends / family who just had or keep getting "not COVID." It's very clear and flies by despite the 7 minute length.

I wonder if I did have covid then in late February. I was sick for a couple days -- though none of the classic covid symptoms. No fever, still had my taste and smell, just a cough and sore throat. And I took a shitload of NAAT home covid tests over the course of 4 or 5 days (a random assortment of Cue, Metrix, Lucira) and they were all negative. I get that the rapid antigen tests are not great and are prone to false negatives, but what about the NAATs?

It's pretty unlikely that you'd get that many false negatives on those tests in a row if you actually had it but, you know, anything's possible.

I worked with a guy who kept going to the casino in the fall of 2020. He caught Covid and died after Thanksgiving. Whole kitchen chipped in for the funeral expenses. That was when it started to feel... more dire, I guess? Like, it felt real already, but that was when I started thinking maybe this is it, this is the end.

Yay for WA DOH for a bit longer:quote:The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is currently reviewing the CDC’s latest guidance on how people can protect themselves and their communities from respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. As an organization, our top priority is the health and safety of our communities. Currently, Washington's isolation and post-exposure guidance has not changed.

The mere fact that they both list COVID as being a "threat" and list long COVID as a "risk" (aka, real thing to be aware of) is huge in my book. Fuckin' sad the bar is that low but right now I'll take what I can get from my institution.

spotted on social media today: quote:’m stating that weird restrictions on business and such, to me, counts as “lockdown”. Yes you may not be physically locked in a room, but there’s laws and restrictions on businesses and people. They did it! They successfully made people think that seeing a mask is a lockdown!

lol cnn https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/13/health/paul-alexander-polio-iron-lung/index.html quote:The exact cause of Paul’s death is unclear. He was admitted to the hospital three weeks ago due to a Covid-19 infection but was no longer testing positive this week, Philip said. If someone ostensibly recovers from pneumonia and keels over unexpectedly immediately thereafter, the underlying-if-not-immediate cause of death is obviously the pneumonia. The constant rules lawyering of COVID deaths is so aggravating

I'm assuming that's what people are referring to? In Pennsylvania non-essential businesses had to close. Just about everything was declared essential, including big box stores, liquor stores, and restaurants (which stayed open for takeout). In rural parts of the state restaurants and other non-essential businesses ignored the ban. Every county in the state entered the 'green' phase of Reopening Pennsylvania by the end of June 2020. https://www.huschblackwell.com/pennsylvania-state-by-state-covid-19-guidance Restaurant dining rooms closed again Nov 2020-Jan 2020 due to the surge. They reopened 1/1/2021 and never closed again. You can straight up go on Google Maps and find pictures of people hanging out at breweries and restaurants in Summer 2020 and everyone still persists in pretending that these places were "locked down" for years.

Because each of these four groups use different normalization methods, different smoothing methods, and different averaging/location identifiers, the concentration of virus is not comparable between locations. See reference links at the bottom of this post for more details. There are 33 sewersheds distributed across 6 charts grouped by region then alphabetized by county and sewershed. The tables below contain WADoH or NWSS/WSS IDs (to match their respective dashboards), Date last sampled, Trend (based on the change between the averages of the two most recent weeks), and 7-Day Change (approx. amount the trend has increased or decreased). All data presented are smoothed in some degree to even out inconsistent sampling dates and extreme highs and lows. Most sewersheds are sampled 1-3 times a week and are published within a week. Some locations are late reporting by 10 days or more so be sure to note your sewershed's Date in the table or graph. Locations that are more than two weeks old will have n/a listed under Trend to indicate there it is out of date.

Gunshow Poophole posted:How's your kid did y'all turn out ok Thanks for asking. He seems to be okay. Symptoms cleared up after a day or so, no positive tests for him, and no one else has tested positive or become symptomatic. Somehow the kids and I have still never tested positive, but I assume we’ve had at least a round or two of it at some point. The kids mostly mask at school, but they breathe a lot of shared air when they’re not with me. I’m so tired of this cycle, though, and I don’t know how much longer the kids will keep up masking. It’s a lot to ask 2nd graders to be more responsible than the adults in their lives.

That was a beautiful read. Everything they said about teamwork, it's that meaning of partnership that I understand and value. You do things together because you actually like each other. It's not that you do things together because the other person is an accessory you carry around to make you feel less embarrassed about doing something alone.quote:Stacy: Exactly. Am I mad? Yes, I'm loving mad. But absolutely not at you! Do I want to go to New York Liberty games? Yes! But — here's the thing. The stuff that I miss like that? It's stuff I did with you. I miss other people, and socializing and stuff sometimes, but most of the stuff I wish we could do is just stuff with you, in a different location. You're my favorite person. You are the best person I know. You're the person I enjoy being around and experiencing life with more than anyone. Zantie has issued a correction as of 05:30 on Mar 14, 2024 |
