Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted: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. FDA inspections are way down and more people are getting sick from food. The water is still bad in Flint and other parts of the country. Only a matter of time before that is pushed as a good thing if it already isn't.

I don't know about pet to human spread, but unless it was an emergency I wouldn't (knowingly) bring my cat to a vet that had an active covid outbreak. My poor cat doesn't deserve to get rona'd even if she wouldn't spread it to me.

The Oldest Man posted:According to the new CDC slides, the updated 23/24 shot dosing for >12 years are 0.5mL for Moderna and 0.3mL for Pfizer, which I think is the same as it has been. The pediatric dosing for Moderna appears to be 0.25mL while Pfizer is still 0.3. Getting that jumbo Moderna shot for maximum titers

Petey posted:I talk about this with some of my friends. There are definitely people that I know, often with an anxiety diagnosis, whose response to Covid (or nowadays planning around Covid) seems to be different from mine in this way. I think I tend to experience it as a series of if-then flowcharts and analytic thinking; no, I'm not "afraid" of getting Covid when I wear a mask to the gym, and I know that if I got it I would likely be fine, but when I balance the probabilities across the flowcharts, the expected value benefit of wearing a mask to the gym is higher than of not wearing it. That's not how most people think. Most people are more vibe based or just look at what everyone else is doing, even the ones that do think like that don't have the information that would lead them to realizing that catching covid is actually, bad.

CVS cancelled my appointment for today "due to unforeseen circumstances" and didn't have any new ones available until Saturday. Got one for Wednesday at Walgreens. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled too.

NeonPunk posted:I know you're joking but that is a real psychological thing that marketing do use to get people to buy things. Having something free and easy to get make people think it's a lower quality while something that cost $ and is gatekept slightly means it's a much better item. The trick is to not make it too expensive and hard to get because that would just make lot of people do a 180 and completely turn off the product. Maybe if it wasn't initially free it would have worked, but I don't see people getting excited to pay for something/deal with insurance for something that used to be free.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:One of the big suburban school districts here has canceled classes for two days in a row because they can't get enough bus drivers. No reflection on what all of this implies of course, it's just another thing that happens now like houses exploding randomly or people in their thirties having strokes. An old college friend of mine just died from a heart attack. He was 38 and in good shape. Just a normal thing that happens.

icantfindaname posted:Did CVS or walgreens ever stock the original novavax? I had to get it from a public health department, and I kind of suspect I'll have to do the same this time I got my original flavor novavax from Costco. Of course by the time I got it they stopped stocking it when I wanted to get my 2nd dose. Hopefully they stock the new one.

Thoguh posted:5G trip report. I did it at a CVS in a target so it wouldn’t just be sick people and stale air but lol they had me go in to a tiny room with no ventilation to get jabbed by a maskless tech. Another win for being the first person of the day, I guess, so there hadn’t been a bunch of other people in that room recently. Would have preferred to be a Moth Man right now but Pfizer was available so Pfizer it is. Did the same yesterday, but they just had a little booth with a curtain instead of a enclosed room. Got my flu shot too. Arm was sore yesterday and almost better today. I woke up at 6am freezing cold, took an ibuprofen and felt better once it hit. Pretty much the same as all the other mRNA shots I've had. The moth juice is much better side effect wise, but I didn't want to wait anymore and availability of novavax being completely in the air if/when I could find it.

Bruce Hussein Daddy posted:I'm trying to understand how this makes money? The air filter industry really needs to hire some lobbyists. They could make a killing if they could get some indoor air quality standards set and enforced. Though realistically since we live in hell world most of the money would end up going to grifters.

drat I should have waited a few more days for the moth juice. Looks like the rollout is going much better than the mRNA one. Does Costco take the bridge program?

Costco has Winix air purifiers on sale again for $100. Have been happy with mine I got the last time they were on sale. Pretty quiet on all but the 'turbo' setting and has a air quality sensor that changes color when you fart near in.

maxwellhill posted:CO2 1600 in here with the windows cracked, all vents on, and oven on Do you have an HVAC system? When it's hot or cold enough to run the HVAC often the CO2 levels stayed under 1000 in my house, but they would spike if it wasn't needed to run the system. I recently got a new thermostat that runs the fan a minimum amount of time every hour that keeps the air fresh even when it isn't doing any heating/cooling.

Hungry Squirrel posted:I was slow and got in during the sign-up period so it wants to send me to a telehealth visit before giving me anything. I'm not sick, I just want the free 'script on hand so that I have it on hand when I DO get sick and can't get a local hook-up. Does the telehealth visit actually mean talking to a person, or is it just a series of webforms? I just did this. I never signed up for test2treat before, it was all a series of webforms, not even a picture of a positive test needed. A box of pax should be at my door in 1-2 days. Insanely easy. We have the tools if you use them now and have niche information on where to find them!
