big cummers ONLY posted:In ruralish Illinois I have seen two masks in as many months. I don't go out much though. One was last night at the vet, I thought "oh how nice that employee is sick so she's at least wearing a surgical mask." Then she lowered it to sneeze I'm also in IL (STL exurbs) and I see about the same. Basically my wife and I, along with a few steadfast maskers at local restaurants we get takeout from. And this is a college town, so I'm surprised I don't see slightly more given the educated population. lmao. No one has said anything or given us attitude about it, fortunately.

Indoor Dying posted:Masks off, people doing long covid research, it’s time to eat and talk about health Kim Prather has been doing this lately too and it's absolutely infuriating. You're kind of undermining your "COVID is airborne, everyone needs to be wearing an N95 at all times" message when you rip off that mask for photo ops and speeches and galas. COVID doesn't care if you're "good" 99% of the time, you don't get to cash in your Good Points for a momentary truce so you can have appetizers with your colleagues. Plus if you're complaining that the pandemic has been made invisible, maybe do your part in making it visible by wearing a mask instead of contributing to making the pandemic invisible? Why is it so hard for these people to walk the walk? The siren song of treats is too powerful.

an electable platform of protecting local internal internet poisoning by placing posting tariffs on foreign external internet poisoning and appealing to vaguely-defined checks and balances to insure the quality of the local shitposting industry as above, so below Indoor Dying posted:It really is amazing (and just another of the endless examples of how screwed we are) that the same people basically saying that COVID will destroy every part of your body and spread and kill/maim others are the same people who will also be like but...it's a dinner. event..how are we supposed to eat if we have a mask on. And how will people hear me when I try to tell them about my accomplishments and how bad covid is and how important health measures are I could accept the occasional dinner outing. It's not the calculus I would make, I think it's a pretty piss-poor cost-benefit ratio, but hey, genuinely, you take your risks in life whether its imbibing recreational poison or jumping out of planes or whatever the gently caress. If you mask, isolate, and test after such an outing, you've limited it to just being your own dumb risk calculus. It's the fact that even the die-hard 'covid is bad' crowd so often doff masks for photos or multi-day speaking events, like, the very absolute least you could do is visibly demonstrate you're taking this poo poo seriously as a safety risk and that you're trying to avoid unnecessarily exposing other people to it. Someone close to me nearly died due to a heart attack their doctor directly attributed to covid, and they've complained about their long-covid symptoms, but they won't mask because nobody else does. Thanks to their new health issues they 'don't want to live THAT much longer anyways'. As if failing to comprehend that quietly passing in their sleep isn't the only possible outcome here. Maybe if the experts who keep saying 'oh yeah this poo poo will gently caress you right up' would take their own advice seriously enough to mask for photo-ops, I'd at least have that to sway them with, but instead I feel helpless and our dumb mass-disablement society marches on, with the occasional rear end in a top hat getting very aggressive about how I'm the one being abnormal to not accept this new 'normal'. It would be cool to live in a world that wasn't constantly innovating in the field of normalizing mass death and deprivation, but here we are, were, and currently remain

Seems bad.

Calling out sick as a 121 pilot on probation (self.flying)quote:I’ve heard the “rumor” that it’s bad to call out sick as a 121 pilot on probation, so I’m looking for insight. Part 121 operators are the normal kind, that move passengers or cargo on a schedule, not charters or flight schools or cropdusters. Delta and UPS are both under 121. quote:4 per year!? Man, you guys' employment conditions make me sad. quote:It really depends on your individual airline. At both my regional and now the legacy I work for even on probation a pilot isn't going to hear anything from the chief until like 8+ sick calls in one year. I ended up with 8 this year (not probation) because my kids were just repeatedly sick this winter and kept giving it to me. We had covid, strep throat, hand foot and mouth disease plus about 10 different colds all since September. I got an E-mail from the chief asking about my high number of sick calls and I just sent back some documentation showing all of my kids' doctors visits and my positive covid test. I never heard anything further about it.

CGI Stardust posted:although they're not completely clear, there are a few in the EU if you don't mind importing. haven't tried any of these, so idk how good they are I just looked up the Optrel, I didn't know that any these types of masks were NIOSH approved, apparently these are. That's pretty cool. I'd like to try one out, for the "we need to see your face" future but they don't seem to be available lol. Though I feel like when it's "we need to see your face or you go to jail" time for everyone and you wear one of these or a full face respirator, the powers that be will just say "no not like that" E: these really do look more insane than any regular respirator or papr lmao

Pingui posted:That's an amazingly dumb sentence. The NYT article quotes al-Aly saying it's not particularly worrisome but I note that it also says KP2 might be slightly more infectious than JN1 instead of less, while also being more immune evading. Oops. Anyway, two things I noticed: quote:The latest on symptoms and long Covid Suddenly thinking of all the chatter I've hear about norovirus outbreaks recently. I mean I did actually get norovirus not that long ago too but it was noticeably different from Covid (granted, I'm not sure if I got JN1). How would you know without being tested? Well, about that: quote:Experts said it would take several weeks to see whether KP.2 might lead to a rise in Covid cases, and noted that we have only a limited understanding of how the virus is spreading. Since the public health emergency ended, there is less robust data available on cases, and doctors said fewer people were using Covid tests. Oh no poo poo? I wonder how all of that happened.

Zugzwang posted:Have they tried staying 6' apart? There was one tournament that completely fell apart because the quarantine rule was that if anyone in your stable tested positive, then the entire stable had to sit out because of how they lived and trained together in relatively small shared spaces. There was a mass outbreak impacting a ton of stables and causing a ton of rikishi to need to leave. They solved this by just not doing anything anymore.

Scarabrae posted:monkeypox back on the menu?! From what I gather it only got substantially above an R0 of 1 in the global north, because it got into a group with severe immune system issues, namely HIV patients. As such it will take substantial immune dysfunction in a wide swath of the global north's population, before it would really take off in the wider population. Or just running through humans enough times to evolve towards a higher level of infectiousness I suppose.

That doesn't sound too bad. Now all we need is public health policy that doesn't promote ever-increasing substantial immune dysfunction in increasingly wider swaths of the population.
