I was reading that thread on how that school that did a bunch of COVID mitigation strategies, and one of the things they mentioned was that you should check your CO2 levels as an indicator of whether there's enough ventilation, with 450 PPM being fresh outdoor air and something like 600 being pretty bad

what device is used to measure that?

Should we wait to open up until at least the kids are vaccinated? Thereby loving over immunocompromised people.

Or should we open up now *checks notes* a few months back, and gently caress over kids and immunocompromised folks?

I mean, you had the flu when you were a kid right? And you were fine. Let the kids get it I say, teach them a life lesson! Isn’t that what America is about? The freedom to choose?

you see, the chinese communists are infecting mexicans with the wuhan flu, a deadly virus that we have a vaccine for and know how to stop, and smuggling them into our country to spread disease

no, i will not get the vaccine against the chinese bioweapon. no, i will not change any of my day to day activity so the chinese bioweapon doesn't kill me or my loved ones. what we need to do is exactly what we were doing for the past 4 years: terrorizing latinx communities and building massive prisons so they don't want to come here

no, i don't think the guards at those prisons should get the bioweapon vaccine or change their day to day lives either.

The tiger surge has largely been driven by an unexpected zoo escape, but there's growing concerns that the crisis of not enough homeowners using enough tiger repellent is complicating the issue.

These people are friggin' weasels who fill their articles with passive voice sentences and Trump-like "a lot of people are saying" sentences, except phrased at the college-level.

My wife is pregnant, and both of her parents and my mom are basically anti-vax despite being Biden/Bernie voters, making it all the more infuriating. poo poo is going to come to a head down the road if variants keep popping up. I just typed up a huge word document listing all the facts and disinfo on covid today on Facebook, and her Dad responded with a meme that says "I have no obligation to make sense to you." I'm betting he didn't even bother reading it because reading and science are for sheep. I felt like editing the meme to put a Q in there, because they know Q and think it's absurd, but don't seem to understand that they're parroting the talking points of the delusional. I could start getting real snippy and be like "So you have no obligation to make sense of a pandemic when your daughter is pregnant and immunocompromised?" Fucker.

Ugh, that sucks. We're lucky enough that vaccinations aren't an issue, but we definitely have already run in to different definitions of staying home that are going to eventually become a problem. Both of my wife and I's parents will say they are "doing nothing" but offhand mention getting haircuts, going out to eat (or getting takeout because we asked them not to eat in restaurants but sit at the bar for an hour reading a menu, ordering, and waiting for their food, something that just happened the day before yesterday) and poo poo like that.

However, it's also a reminder of just how hosed the messaging is on COVID. My parents are NPR liberals and her parents religiously watch the morning news shows, read the paper, and watch the local evening news. They got vaxxed as soon as they were eligible, don't argue at all about wearing a mask if asked, and sincerely believe they are doing all the right things because they are following all the guidelines. If there was a blanket mask mandate issued they'd dutifully put on their masks. If indoor dining was closed they'd shrug and stick with takeout. And so on. There are tens of millions of people like this in the US that are well meaning but have outsized trust in whatever institutions tell them. If we had a halfway competent CDC and presidential administration all of these people would have no problem doing their part to reduce spread.

The Henderson County Department of Public Health has notified us that to date, 5 individuals at Hendersonville Elementary have lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 that are epidemiologically linked, meeting the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) definition of a “cluster.” We are working in close coordination with the Henderson County Department of Public Health to determine any students or staff who are considered to be close contacts.

At last, I finally have scheduled my first MRNA vaccine shot for Sept 9th.
Second shot should be 6 weeks after that, but Moderna already cut their delivery of vaccines this month by over half, original schedule for the second shot should have been 3-4 weeks after.

DeSantis is actively trying to get people to catch Covid at this point. That is the only reasonable explanation.

quote:

The Florida Board of Education “could move to” withhold the salaries of school superintendents and school board members who ignore Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) ban on mask mandates, the governor’s office said on Tuesday.

"We will actively withhold your salary if you even attempt to keep kids who can't get vaccinated safe."

Also, lol at all the people who fiercely defend "local control" of education and then turn around and go "actually, State's Rights are more important" when someone asks them about it.

Yeah my in-laws and mom are the same way to varying degrees. Being “safe” to them means walking around Home Depot for an hour with a mask on, getting haircuts, having a dinner party outside with their friends, etc. Which, fine, they’re vaccinated and can choose their own level of risk, but then we’d like to reduce our exposure to them accordingly, and they don’t understand that. Anytime this comes up they act like they’re being punished and it just gets really awkward.

So, have fun dealing with that for the rest of the pandemic.
