I try to get my wife to crack ping and instead she just gets all anxious and weird, so I have to keep the crack pings to myself.

This happened to me with my long term, cohabitating ex-girlfriend (last August) :(

But like, she's an infectious disease doctor how the gently caress was I supposed resist asking questions?

Edit: What a terrible post to have a snipe.

it rules that if you look into almost any study you will find obvious flaws and oversights. no wonder half of them can't even be replicated

This is a huge issue and it is made even worse by breathless Twitter commentary and sensationalized scientific reporting in the press.

I've got an autoimmune disease, so it's treated with a TNF blocker biologic and a different immunosuppressive agent, Azathioprine, that also weakens my immune system. I've heard that the latter has the bigger effect on vaccine effectiveness, but I don't know what the actual research says.

Nope. The pharmacist asked me personally if I was immunocompromised, but I didn't have to give any kind of documentation. The biggest worry I have is if my insurance will cover the third shot, cause I didn't bother to look into that first, lol

I do too, I’m on humira and Mycophenalate. My doctor man against my disease sent me an email this morning saying “oh guess what you do qualify! Call us to schedule an appointment and for a pre-booster antibody test.”

Thanks chief, but I’m good and way ahead of you.

Last week I got an email from our corporate overlords saying that covid theater and masking (when not at your desk) would return in areas where covid risk was high, local HR said we would not be requiring masks again as covid risk was only substantial not high in our county according to the CDC. I've been checking the CDC map corporate linked daily and on Friday our county was finally up to high risk, sent an email to HR asking if this would change anything, "well the president of the company is out today and he makes those kind of decisions." No updates today! lol

might have to look at costs of a corsi cube vs just buying a air purifier for a classroom, if they’ll even let me do that, maybe I’ll have to just do it for every dang classroom since everyone else is cheap as hell

Considering the same, just remember that those things are bulky and are kinda loud and flimsy as gently caress. Depending on what level school you’re talking about, you’re going to want to make some modifications. For example i’m looking at a layer of window screen over the top of the fan to prevent poo poo from being dropped in there, since I’m looking at an upward facing fan and younger kids. Check with your teachers for how much room they can accommodate.

I sourced it out at about $80-85 per box.

variant is a change in genome, disease is a symptom-based word

so if the symptoms caused by two variants are similar it's not really a new disease

I told my kids' school that we're going to homeschool, and the email I got back from the Principal had some real captain of the titanic looking at the iceberg vibes. We're friendly and he's very diplomatic and his email basically said "I understand your decision. I've read the research on delta and I'm just hoping we can get through the fall without too much of a spike." School starts this week, here we go.

But the symptoms are different? OG covid - fever, loss of taste smell. Delta - sore throat, runny nose, headache?

true but the end result is similar, so I'd think that would take precedence over the preliminary and relatively not dangerous symptoms.

but then, thankfully, I am not a doctor, at least of the medical sciences
