I don't think we've found a baseline for the new gently caress The People pricing yet

Zugzwang posted:no more isolation period as per the CDC. The lockdowns have finally ended!! I got a work email about an important COVID update and it just said that CDC guidelines have changed so they're not recommending isolating for 5 days anymore. But make sure to wash your hands so you don't catch measles/mpox/norovirus. Precambrian Video Games has issued a correction as of 19:49 on Mar 16, 2024 |

It's insane that absolutely no one reads past the headline to see at least it still says isolate while you have symptoms. Just every company "CDC says covid just a cold get back in here"

seems like around Los Angeles there’s always been a background hum of 10% masking for the past year, slightly higher during the holidays

The hospital that I was at earlier this week in Seattle had a mask mandate that was mostly being followed (with actual surgical ones but still something). Hoping I didn’t get got in the brief period that they needed to take off my aura and put one of those on me for oxygen tubes. The only other time I’ve been sick since early 2020 was the last time I needed to be unmasked in one of their buildings.

status update: moth juiced. totally different body load than the clot shots, feeling mellow and mild as opposed to the heavy sensation I am used to. did get to listen to the pharmacists try to decide if the dose was expired or not, and eventually relying on “Googling the cdc” to tell them it wasn’t. lol great system. overall a++ will novavax again

picking up roommate from surgery there’s a sign at the front of the building saying masks required to enter. I see two guys without masks enter all staff are wearing surgicals and are dicknosing oh wait a nurse walked by with no mask roommate is zonked out and needs another half hour to recover. they’re nauseated so they can’t wear a mask another maskless nurse walked by this is great

I don't know if it's scientific or just vibes, but situations like these are one reason I do like valved masks. If you need to pull down your mask, you can take in a breath before and expel it all out through the vent. It seems like it would work like that anyway.

I still don't think you can purge a respirator like a diving mask. It's not like you're displacing bad air with air from your lungs, more like you're mixing the mask air and lung air together and some amount leaves the mask because of overpressure. The diving analogy would be if you exhaled green coloured water into your diving mask. You'd just have a mask with fainter-green water in it while a little bit of the mixed water left the mask, right?

i take a bigass breath before taking off/putting on the mask to purge as much as possible if you take several breaths it feels like it expands your capacity

It's not like you're displacing bad air with air from your lungs, more like you're mixing the mask air and lung air together and some amount leaves the mask because of overpressure. Ideally the filter will catch enough virions on particles and hold onto them as you are expelling quite forcefully in all directions.

Also yes. it'd be really cool and good if we had a functioning public health system. it could acknowledge people will imperfectly mask and research stuff like this and have actual evidence based advice to give around it. alas!

What’s that? People will imperfectly mask? Guess we should give advice to just not mask at all since that’s easier to follow.

You know how some Queensland researchers in Australia were recently talking about how Long Covid is a bad term, that we shouldn't use anymore a few days ago because it's not a thing apparently? Well, here's a lengthy March 14th 2024 story about Long Covid from an well known Australia news site on the lovely costs associated with it. I'll quote just a few sections from it, but don't worry, some idiots in Queensland aka Australia's Florida, said it's not real! https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/daniel-has-long-covid-it-has-cost-him-more-than-100-000/j8e18pxji quote:Since contracting COVID-19, he has not been able to work at all, and often struggles to leave his Sydney home. Daniel has also been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that causes a racing heart, dizziness and fatigue when standing up. It appears to have a correlation with Long COVID.

For the life of me, I just can't figure out what their long term plan is with all of these loving terrible decisions. Are they hoping that the chickens come home to roost at a slow enough rate for them to maintain plausible deniability over it? Is Biden trying to throw the election so that when the poo poo inevitably hits the fan, it's under a Republican presidency? Are they huffing their own farts to the point where they actually believe this poo poo? All of the above?

Are they huffing their own farts to the point where they actually believe this poo poo? All of the above? I think it's mostly huffing their own farts, yeah. There's probably some Davos safe rich folks who are cognizant of how bad things are and simply seek to insulate themselves from consequences as much as possible without regard to others, but at least in DC, it really seems like that bubble just smooths out the brains of all the politicians just as much as the media. This isn't to say that I think DC types are simply unaware of the dangers or risks from COVID, but they're so bought into the ideology of post-history that they can't help but think that this'll all blow over on its own. Edit: Creating the sort of long term plan required to adequately address the COVID crisis, from the raw disease impacts of the pandemic to the broader social failures resulting, is so outside the conceptual thought space of a neo-lib as to be quite literally unfathomable. The problem cannot be that bad, tautologically, just like with climate change. Hell, the last couple of years of actual global conflicts have demonstrated we don't know how to enter a proper wartime footing for an actual war-like crisis, let alone a disease that's invisible and can't be fought with MIC grift. bobtheconqueror has issued a correction as of 16:22 on Mar 17, 2024 |

They don't think anything's wrong, op. Anecdotal, but I read a post from a POTS sufferer who gets enormous benefit from wearing a tightly laced corset to mechanically keep her blood in her head. Throw it on the pile of patients figuring poo poo out before the medical establishment.
