eXXon posted:It's a useful device. I learned from it that my apartment has really lovely ventilation - a horribly loud fan in the kitchen vent hood that can lower CO2 by maybe 100 ppm per hour, and one in the bathroom that runs automatically but doesn't do much beyond venting shower steam. 12 hours with closed windows and 2 people inside gets CO2 up from 5-600 to 1800 ppm. Obviously opening the windows clears it out but it sucks to have to do it when it's hot/humid/smoky/lovely AQI outside which for some reason is happening more often lately. High co2 fucks with your cognitive functions and the aranet4 taught me that I was hitting 1900+ ppm in the winter with the door closed while working.

It's almost impossible to get a new PCP or see one on a useful timeframe in much of the US right now. Actual human doctors who track your medical history and provide proactive care are going to be a luxury for the top 10% sooner rather than later, and the rest of us will get an overworked LPN at a strip mall urgent care or a lovely chat bot kiosk that dispenses band-aids.

Jort Fortress posted:My 91yo grandma has been stuck in a nursing home doing rehab the past 2 weeks after breaking her hip at home. Shockingly, both her and my grandpa are now sick with Summer Flu for the first time. Guess my grandpa had it so bad he was hospitalized the last 3 nights, and according to my uncle they didn't even test him for Covid, instead suggesting it might be bronchitis or RSV. They also told my uncle he didn't need to wear his mask in the hospital, lmao. My wife's 99 year old grandma is living just fine at home, by herself, with grocery delivery. She spends her days crocheting, watching the news, and feeding the hummingbirds. She says that she's going to go to a group home once she hits 100, and I figure that'll be the death of her.

Malgrin posted:A bit ago someone said something to the effect of "we've known for the vast majority of this pandemic that covid is airborne." This is a clear indicator that even covid-cautious people still believe it is primarily spread by droplets. At least, I can't think of any other explanation. Trump himself told interviewers that it was airborne in March of 2020 lmao Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud has issued a correction as of 02:44 on Aug 18, 2023 |

Unsurprisingly, tourism has taken a hit since Aug. 8 when wildfires turned everything in its path to ash, forcing evacuees to jump into the ocean to escape the flames and leaving hundreds of friends and loved ones unaccounted for. Airline passenger numbers to Maui fell 80% this week compared to the same time last year, according to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. It estimates Hawaii’s economy has lost some $8.5 million in sales revenue each day since the wildfires erupted on Maui and the Big Island. The total economic damage and cost could total $7 billion, Moody’s Analytics said in an initial estimate, which called the price tag “astronomical” and suggestive of a "brief but severe local recession.”

10,000 jobs lost to the fires But state tourism officials warn that as many as 10,000 jobs have been lost as a direct result of the Maui wildfires. Visitor spending losses are estimated at $1.05 million a day, and household income loss is estimated to top $535,500 a day, according to the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.

gradenko_2000 posted:https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1698437917687902657?t=0e_o5RHSMrQYmj4QZc18zA&s=19 this is why all the pieces claiming that millennials will be such a long-lived generation compared to the people that came before are bullshit, we've got so much harmful consumption pushed at us and normalized in the name of the economy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Greatest Generation end up the ones with peak life expectancy, they grew up and lived in a time when healthcare was affordable and people were still physically active.

Tulip posted:Patterson, Orlando. 1982. Slavery and Social Death: A Comparative Study. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. I like Dan Carlin's podcasts even if he's a dipshit libertarian, and he points out pretty well in a recent Hardcore History that western slavery popped up again in a big way because of the renaissance resurgence in interest in the classical world. Wonder how things would have worked out if the big important people hadn't read those classical texts and we got to the Enlightenment without them.

It's an insanely dumb thing to be ideologically partisan about, vaccines are unarguably the greatest advancement made by modern medicine. It's like being mad about clean water or food without toxins in it.

https://www.wesa.fm/courts-justice/2023-09-08/covid-cases-among-incarcerated-at-allegheny-county-jail-on-the-rise Covid cases have been going apeshit at the county jail here for a month now. Anyway quote:When asked if lockdowns were currently being used as a strategy, or considered for future use, jail spokesperson Jesse Geleynse said “Individuals who test positive are isolated and transferred to a designated housing unit. Per protocols established in consultation with Allegheny Health Network, the jail’s healthcare partner, individuals who test negative twice can be cleared from isolation after seven days. All individuals are removed from isolation after 10 days.” They're taking people out of isolation after ten days whether they're positive or not and they're not mandating masking. cool!

an owls casket posted:I don't know if anyone else looks at the garbage clickbait news stories that pop up when you click the weather on your Taskbar in Windows, but every single Covid related story has a huge number of downvotes. I can just envision someone sitting at their computer, silently turning red as they angrily click the thumbs-down button, veins bulging dangerously out of their foreheads. Have fun at Applebee's, fuckers. It's astroturfing from Eglin Air Force Base, there's a reason why every anti-caution voice had the same exact talking points.
