Inspector Hound posted:It's blown my mind that my kid's grandmother won't get a vaccine so she can see her grandkid. Now her line is "if the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission, what's the point anyway?" She and her husband got covid earlier this year, they were sick for weeks.

Sex Arse of Calais posted:Christ almighty. a quick summary: if you got a booster shot, it actually wanes slower than the initial vaccine. so 6 months after said booster is not as dire as 6 months from OG vaccine. overall, I would say both don’t panic, but it’s also easy to get an extra shot. I got mine via cvs.com , if you mark you are immuno compromised they’ll give it to you no questions asked as long as it’s been 4+ months. and given this is the US, it goes without saying it’s super available because everyone else stopped caring. I think this is a good summary: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/03/with-a-second-booster-now-available-to-some-the-question-is-when-to-get-it/

Seems like there are more than a few Denver/Boulder area folks in this thread. I got my massive case of 9210+ today, and its way more than we need if any of you are short. Send me a dm if you want to work something out. I ordered right from 3M, fulfilled by one of their distributors, so pretty sure they are legit. They did hilariously come just floating around in a huge cardboard box though. I expected a "case" to be 10 retail boxes. But eh, they are all individually wrapped.

mawarannahr posted:what couples therapist is going to be sane about COVID? if you’re unlucky you might get one who tells your partner you’re insane Mine is but I'm starting to believe I'm in the minority with that. That being said, it's not really about covid, it's about trust. If you can't trust your partner because they aren't trustworthy, that's the problem. Whether it's about covid, or sex, or money or drugs or whatever, the core problem is "I can't trust my partner because they lie to me." If your partner doesn't respect you enough to be honest that's the problem. If you have a boundary in a relationship and the other person doesn't respect it that's the problem, the boundary being crossed being health or safety just makes it worse but the core problem is trust and respect. If a couple's therapist doesn't recognize that then they're just entirely bad at their job.

Nothus posted:Taking those tweets at face value, it seems like paxlovid suppresses the virus but if you don't have enough of an immune response to clear it, it bounces back as soon as you stop taking the drug. well then, the solution then is to simply never stop taking paxlovid

mawarannahr posted:what couples therapist is going to be sane about COVID? if you’re unlucky you might get one who tells your partner you’re insane someone from the Death Panel pod discord recently shared this: https://ko-fi.com/post/Therapist-Referrals-in-the-Time-of-Covid-M4M1C7SSJ quote:Recently I put out a call for therapist recommendations from around the globe who are "taking covid precautions and understand that disabled folks are on the receiving end of eugenics-based thinking and behavior." Obviously that may translate differently for different people, but it's a potential way to narrow things down. Some take types of insurance, some don't, and some offer pay what you can or sliding scales. I cannot vouch for these services personally and it's important to do your own research. This is a starting point though, as high risk and other folks have been needing this support and need it increasingly by the day. We need access to care that will keep us as safe as possible physically and emotionally. I will continue gathering more referrals and add info to this working document.

The instructions for the SecureClick say to use "3M Respirator Wipes 504" or by "immersing in warm cleaning solution." Haven't noticed anyone talking about stocking up on special wipes, so I'm guessing y'all just use something like bleach and water? My apologies if this is already in the OP, I didn't see anything regarding the cleaning of SecureClicks or non-disposable respirators. olives black has issued a correction as of 20:24 on Apr 20, 2022 |

sonatinas posted:at the height of omicron there so many people mask off on plane and airports doesn’t matter ,here is what I did to not get the roni The only thing I'd add to this---the OP has guidelines for securing a hotel room in terms of air leakage & positive pressure and all that, but IMO safest would be to get a Corsi Cube in there (maybe second suitcase?? or mail it to your hotel or nearby post office ahead of time like a hiker drop box??) and let it run until it's changed the air in the room over. I am going to have to fly some time soon for my new permanent work from home job that requires me to go to Miami maybe 4 times per year. I am considering just driving since it's just a straight shot down I95 from where I am outside Philly. What distresses me is 1)no one knows yet that I'm respirator crew so that will be completely alienating and 2)they will expect me to eat with them.
