it actually caught me off guard, the toilet paper shortage hit japan a little over a month before the US and i was about one week away from buying a new box of rolls when they disappeared from store shelves.

i suffered through paper towels for a week, but then i had this great idea and stole some rolls from the daimaru department store's ultra luxurious marble restrooms lol

wtf, I thought Japan had fully specced into bidets?

Apologies if I'm aggro posting and am uninformed, I just think doxxing is a really serious matter, and I don't have that event in my catalog of COVID thread history, and couldn't find anything by searching either

Wastewater in Austria is also ticking down again a bit (hospitalization is up a bit). Though we really didn't have any wave now. So far, so good


Just posting those since they are the only numbers we still have. I would assume people who are hospitalized for respiratory diseases are still tested for covid here, but :shrug:
Can't post variants since our guys don't get enough samples anymore

Well, in CSPAM this is true (and under the eye of vyelkin), and I am glad of it - even if I generally like Silicon Thrills as a poster and their contributions to threads.

Probably can't expand it forums wide while the war is on, though, unfortunately. (and no I have not been keeping lists of offenses and posters to point to specific examples)

Nothing against Silicon, but a report is effectively a post in the mod forum and going in that hot is a "flying to moscow on a small plane" level idea.

there was some esoteric studies back in the day about the force required to reaerosolize captured virus from a filter surface and it's like you have to have a tornado hit it so

if you feel bad, chuck it in a box and wait.

That was a hepa, not a merv13 though. No idea whether that matters in the end

In Japan right now. A lot of masks around though mostly surgicals. They sell adequate looking masks in the seven eleven but I guess it's just hot and humid as gently caress. I'm certainly rethinking switching back to auras without exhalation filters.
Also on the chinese airline I flew in on they specifically told people to tell cabin crew if they had contact with monkey pox in what felt like a blast from the past. They also recommended masks, though covid wasn't mentioned at all. Anyway lots of coughing on that plane

Nah. Probably depends on the country, but generally you can get shot full of nanomachines if you're over 12 at least.

Interesting results and something that speaks in favor of heterologous vaccinations (as immune evasion will trend towards evading the dominant antibody mix - e.g. the combined vaccination and infection norm):

I am not so sure about their conclusion that this can be used to define which variants should be targeted by vaccines. I can see why they would say that, but I feel they kinda skirt over the impact that Omicron had (and Omicron type mutational leaps would have). Rather I think it makes it clear that a vaccine only strategy at the very least should be diversified to not leave the exact same holes in protection for everyone.

Good news! about the uptake of the Fall booster then.
