is it not hard to just wear a mask? or call out if you don’t feel well? “oh i only felt a little off” wear a fucking mask or call out i don’t give a shit. “it’s not that big a deal” if you go out somewhere sick with no safety measures to protect other people you need to know you could potentially kill someone and i know this because people close to me have died because someone wasn’t careful when they got sick and went out and spread it

#my birthday is in 6 days and i was just informed one of my coworkers yesterday had early symptoms and tested positive today #i have 4 tests at least so i’ll probably test tomorrow afternoon (that’ll be 48 hours) and then again friday morning #im just tired of this. ‘i didn’t feel that sick when i went out’ I don’t give a rats ass #if you’re even feeling remotely sick and can’t get out of going somewhere you at minimum need to be fully masked up #if you go out sick and didn’t mask i hope it stays on your conscience forever #I hope it haunts you every day that you could’ve ended someone’s life #and i mean that genuinely. i hope you never escape your thoughts that you could’ve killed someone #coronavirus

COVID-19

We are currently in the largest COVID surge of all-time in the US.

There is also a new variant that is not protected by the previous vaccine.

Please start back masking and please get the COVID-19 booster (schedule with your local pharmacy).

Wastewater counts are obscenely high right now, belying the official case numbers. Considering that we've stopped collecting or reporting most COVID data, wastewater is the best way we have to judge the actual infection rate now. Wastewater is collected from washing our hands, going the bathroom, etc. We shed COVID into the water system and based on the concentration of COVID in waste water, we can get very accurate estimates of how many people are infected at one time.

We are currently seeing ten million new infections a week, and can expect that to greatly increase within the next three weeks.

* If you've stopped masking, please start again, for your own safety and the safety of your community. Many hospital systems are already trending toward being overwhelmed right now; wear a mask when in crowded, enclosed, or poorly ventilated areas, and keep a safe distance from others, as feasible.

* Avoid unnecessary gatherings where possible.

* Ventilate your spaces well (Corsi-Rosenthal Box).

* Reevaluate casual habits (touching face, respiratory etiquette—covering coughs and sneezes, clean your hands regularly, stay home if you are sick, get tested if you have symptoms, or if you might have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or influenza)

Please be aware of Long Covid.

COVID impacts the immune system similar to HIV in that it hides in the body and continues to wreak havoc in the various organ system by driving inflammation and disrupting the immune response. It causes neurological, vascular, and immune dysfunction.

Patients with long COVID generally have symptoms that fall into three categories or phenotypes: fatigue, neurocognitive symptoms such as brain fog or headaches, and cardiovascular symptoms such as shortness of breath, heart arrythmias, exercise intolerance, and blood clots. Patients may have more than one type, and some also have symptoms like constipation, diarrhea, or loss of taste and smell that don’t seem to fit neatly into one of the three groups.

This is a period where we need to act with more care. Not a time to panic, but a time to be more cautious.

If you contract COVID, these are some helpful things that work to reduce viral load in the hope of minimising symptoms. And your chance of developing Long Covid:

* Brush & floss as usual

* Mouthwash (CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride, an ingredient in many/most commercial mouthwashes), cooled green tea, salt water)

* Green Tea (drink on an empty stomach if possible; can also be used for swishing/gargling once it has cooled; if green tea isn't doable for you, black tea is an alternative)

* Nasal Spray (if chemicals in nasal spray causing an issue for you, saline nasal spray also an option)

* Vitamin C supplement

* Antihistamines

* Other prophylactics to consider: Nattokinase, Grape Seed Extract, EGCG supplements

* Natto (if this is something you already eat, or would like to try. It's fermented soya beans and is popular in Japan

* Mask & Vaccinate!! A fully vaccinated individual is five times less likely to continue to have any symptoms or ill-effects three months after their initial infection compared to someone who has not been vaccinated.

Quote

I think, as a species, we have a desire to believe that we’re living at the climax of the story. It’s a kind of narcissism. We want to believe that we’re uniquely important, that we’re living at the end of history, that now, after all these millennia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it’s ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world.

Part 5, “Sea of Tranquility” by Emily St. John Mandel

The official COVID-19 pandemic emergency is now over – but that doesn’t mean the pandemic itself is over. Pandemics gradually fade rather than suddenly disappear. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is an example; there are still close to 40 million people living with HIV and the virus has been around since the late 1970s.

The New York Times reports that about a thousand people still die of COVID in the US every week. And with a large number of people still unvaccinated there is always the possibility of a new variant like Omicron.

It’s a good idea to keep up with new boosters when they become available. COVID boosters may become as routine as annual flu shots. Boosters are recommended if you plan to spend a lot of time in areas where Fox News has a large viewership.

You can find locations in the US which offer the COVID-19 vaccines at this site...

just saw a tweet that was like "imagine if 9/11 happened 2 mos earlier and 7/11 had the worst PR crisis ever" like that wasn't basically what happened to corona beer in 2020

#granted. pandemic obviously not the same impact as terrorism #& also we stopped calling it coronavirus or varients of that by like 2021 iirc #the switch to covid-19 was like. not smooth by any means but it did happen #but i do recall in 2020 when liquor stores were one of the only operating businesses #everyone being like damn... sucks to be corona rn #havent looked at the data though so idk if their bottom line or pr was impacted that bad #anecdotally i think the people i knew ended up drinking more corona that year. for the bit #alcohol /#also i forget who it was but to whoever rb'd that tweet to my dash #im not vagueing you i didnt rb it because i dont have the energy for an ID rn lmao #good idea generator #also circling back to my first tag. want to re-muddy the waters actually pandemic and 9/11 very similar #with perhaps the most major difference between the two being government willingness to do anything about it #or arguably controversially their willingness to pretend to do something about it in order to use it as a cudgel on the international stage #but we dont have time to get into All That with any sort of nuance #esp not in the tags of a one sentence post about corona's pr problems

List of the past 6 months or so of #COVID and #LongCovid research.

Definitely underscores the need to not get infected or to not get reinfected if you already have been.

if/when the pandemic ends, i think there are gonna be a lot of people who expect me to have the same relationship with them after they didn’t take covid precautions who are going to be unpleasantly surprised. you’ve shown me that you won’t take the steps to protect anyone, not to mention people who are immunocompromised or high risk for severe covid. why do you think i want to stay close with you after that?

#I dunno just. thinking about this rn #vent tw #coronavirus #the pandemic will likely end at some point im just at the spot where it just seems never ending to me

Honestly the way folks handled the pandemic shows humanity isn't ready for a zombie apocalypse.

#funny tag #or is this actually just sad #too many conspiracy theorists who end up bringing humanity down while the rest of us r tryna survive #it's even more sad that a few of them have medical licenses… good God…#hey at least no zombies thankfully!!!

Trump likely got his infection via a famously cavalier approach to party planning — throwing a largely unmasked gathering at a point in the pandemic when vaccines weren’t yet available. On Sept. 26, 2020, the then-president held a Rose Garden event to celebrate the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Case numbers in Washington, D.C., were low at the time, but this was a party full of hugging and handshakes — and it launched a superspreader event that likely infected not just the president and first lady but also multiple members of Congress, White House staffers, members of the media and a whole litany of government and campaign workers.

Trump ended up in the hospital with a case so severe, he came close to being put on a ventilator and was given basically every drug doctors could think of to treat COVID — a mixture of dexamethasone, remdesivir and monoclonal antibodies. Throughout the ordeal, Trump’s large-scale public policy choices — mocking and dismissing masks and other ways of preventing transmission, downplaying the severity of COVID risks, promising a miracle would come along and make the virus disappear, etc. — were reflected in his own experience.

But while President Biden has approached the pandemic in a very different way than President Trump, he, too, has made a series of choices that set the stage for his own infection. If the overarching theme of Trump’s approach to COVID was to shut his eyes and hope the pandemic couldn’t see him if he couldn’t see it, the overarching theme of Biden’s approach has been to frame a collective disaster as just another matter of personal responsibility.

The administration thought it had a silver bullet, going so far as to declare that July 4, 2021, would be a celebration of freedom from COVID. They were so certain that individual vaccinations would be enough that they rolled back federal mask mandates in May 2021 under the assumption that if you did the right thing and got vaccinated, then you’d be fine.

Even as delta, omicron, and multiple omicronlets proved this theory wrong, Biden’s policy has continued to focus mainly on getting more Americans vaccinated and boosted. Other policy options that could prevent spread — ventilation requirements, reliable data collection on case numbers, masking during periods of high transmission, getting vaccines to other countries where the virus still spreads unchecked — have largely been left to wither.

The result is an America where COVID keeps mutating, waves of disease keep coming and the populations of the most vulnerable remain isolated, trapped and dying.

We have an America where we take COVID seriously but not literally. We have an America where even the most responsible and well-protected of Americans is almost guaranteed to get COVID eventually.

Even a president who trusts the science.

Hm Well I Have A Little Cough And It’s Been 1-2 Weeks Since That Big Unavoidable String Of Proximity To Strangers And Literally Everyone Else Is Getting Sick, Is It Time To Be Paranoid Yet

(dad came over on the 29th although he was masked the majority of the time. leasing office person was unmasked during the walkthrough on the 31st, I also went into a convenience store with unmasked employees and ate fried chicken just out in a little cardboard boat from there, and the employees at the hotel were unmasked. fairly minimal exposure on the 1st, then the leasing office people at the new apartment were unmasked dealing with a bunch of paperwork on the 2nd. several days of mostly isolation (small intrusions by unmasked maintenance workers), unmasked people outside the dmv on the 6th for a few minutes and a lot of unmasked people inside the dmv for 2 hours on the 7th, plus one more stop into the unmasked leasing office. mostly isolated since, a couple more maintenance people indoors and a friendly chat on the porch.)

(like it is too early to even be concerned enough to test, because the persistent throat irritation has only been present for what, an hour? and could definitely be from several other causes. but Fucking Still.)

#coronavirus #I am going to be.#SO fucking mad.#if I got covid from the fucking dmv.#the one thing that was definitely entirely impossible for me to avoid doing myself in person.#I could probably get my old doc to pull a little funny business to get treated instead of just 'sleep it off'#and my insurance is still good until the end of the month #but like.#yeah.#I'm gonna be fucking pissed.#even if I personally will probably get out of it somewhat okayish.
