COVID-19

[Wyldnwoody44]

I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say, that a drug that has basically never worked against any virus, is now not working against, a virus.

Hey.  It's at least as effective as Head On.

Then I'm ok with both ?

I still think the worst part of all of this is when you forget about that open cut or blister on your hand until you put on hand sanitizer.

Love me some separation of church and state. 

What was that I just read? My ADHD kicked in before I got to the punchline.

The writers ARE the punchline.

Search "sovereign citizen" on youtube sometime when you have about 48 hours to spare.  These people are endless entertainment.

I was unfamiliar with this, wow, maybe we can give them Covid and 0.8% of them will perish ?

Very interesting article today in Washington Post about Covid genome and its spread: https://apple.news/AEDUlOPH5T6-QmkVnXkqn8Q

It's mutating.  Great.

Now people who had the virus and got over it are becoming re-infected.  Sorry in advance for the Forbes link:  https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2020/08/25/two-more-people-were-reinfected-with-coronavirus-after-recovering-from-first-case-virologists-say/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark#44b5134016b4

The initial Hong Kong case the article refers to is quite dubious, from my understanding. His second "case" had zero symptoms and a very small viral load. It wasn't cultured, and if they used a PCR test (I'd bet money they did), the test cannot tell a live fragment of corona DNA from a dead one. And we know that dead fragments stay in your blood stream months after you get the disease. If they're scouring that closely, they should find plenty of "second cases" like this, and even real ones in outlier situations - you can catch any "once a lifetime" disease more than once if you're under enough immune stress, like that second person in the article was reportedly under 

If these two cases plus the hong kong one are what we have after half a year of this and millions of first cases, I can't see why we wouldn't be fine until mutation, given the effective multi-layered immune responses observed in those who get the virus, and the tendency for those T cells to remain in bloodstreams for years. 

Feel free to slap me around if I'm misunderstanding things, woody

Quite the opposite; I hope you are correct.

That, I do avoid.

I just ordered 20 yards of 54” clear marine vinyl so we can each have out own “airspace” when we rehearse.

What a cuckoo world.

My good friend lost his mom today to Covid. He’s now under quarantine and I won’t see him for two weeks.

Anyone who still thinks this isn’t real can walk backward through a field of d***s.

Finally can throw my mask out at the end of my shift instead of brown-bagging it for weeks. And according to news reports rapid Covid tests will be sent to my workplace in two to three weeks. Will believe it when I see  it.

Wait, they still have you reusing masks?! That is ridiculously absurd, considering almost every store is offering masks to customers that forgot theirs, or had their straps break.

Surgical masks.

Yes, I went to time Hortons last week and my strap broke as I was putting it on, they had boxes of them and just gave me a new one. Seems wrong that health care workers have to reuse them. The research I've done on masks in general make them a vector of disease after prolonged use, specifically to the wearer.(cloth more than surgical)

Bought a bunch of double layered cloth masks for when im not around pts... can wash them...

[SwampD]

Do hospitals get paid extra money, from some fund somewhere, if a patient dies specifically from Covid? I heard this from someone and it seemed kinda weird.
