lol reminds me of Psaki's twitter post about her second covid infection
"I took a PCR test this morning. That test came back positive,"
Positive of what Psaki!?

A lot of Americans wish they could get same‐day turnaround on tests.

Now they won’t be able to get tests at all because the money printer broke.

i will say, a week or so ago, toddler came down with something, we took home tests, all negative, went to the PCR location and got tested as well
and because no one is bothering to PCR test, there was no line, and we got our results back within 24 hours lol
negatives across the board, thanks random daycare disease/virus that isn't covid

My wife is adamant about going to Europe to visit her parents this summer, it’s been 3 years since we saw them. Currently they have 29k cases a day and guess what, my in-laws all got COVID this week.

They were very careful but only saved because they never leave the house. However, my SIL put her kid in daycare two weeks ago and a teacher popped positive. Even after they knew that they didn’t isolate him or wear masks. Then when he had symptoms they didn’t isolate him or wear masks at that time. They did a rapid test (negative) then called their geriatric pediatrician (who they swear is brilliant but I never got that impression the time we took our daughter to her). The pediatrician told them it’s probably not COVID (even after the kid was exposed at daycare and had a fever).

I’m really not interested in risking it nor being around that kid and my SIL (who’s not been careful whatsoever). I chalk it all up to people no longer caring, 2 years was too much and people just gave up.

I’m just floored that we have hardly any cases (supposedly) around king county yet over in Europe it’s exploding. Is it because no one is bothering to get tested and the reporting shennanagins?

Snohomish County just to the north seems to be exploding according to the wastewater data, up 768% in the last 15 days if I'm reading this right.

A federal judge in Texas in January issued a preliminary injunction barring the Navy from acting against the sailors. The Biden administration said it was not asking the Supreme Court to block parts of the lower court order barring the sailors from being disciplined or discharged but only the requirement that their assignments be made without considering their vaccination status. That requirement posed intolerable risks to safety and mission success

If this is the case I’m thinking of, there was a battleship involved that was being headed by an insane antivaxxer who was profoundly unhinged and incompetent in many other ways too. His superiors couldn’t reassign him because he was claiming it was religious discrimination, and that one federal judge backed him. So since the alternative was to send a ship run by a complete dipshit out into the field, they simply kept the ship in the port. Which, just, lol

One thought is to couple a fan to a window 24/7 in an attempt to keep the apartment interior at positive pressure wrt the hallway. This might make air flow "out" into the hallway whenever the door is opened, though I'm skeptical as to how effective this would really be.

I put a fan next to an open window, blowing into the room, no kind of seal between the fan and the window, and that's already enough positive pressure that the front door to the shared hallway will close of its own accord.

It really doesn't take much.

We interact with the microbiome in our environment in ways that we're only just starting to understand. It would be a shame if our desire to be safe lead to an increase in illness or other problems.

Do we, for example, need a constant, low-load exposure to certain pathogens in order to maintain broader immunities?

Should only be used in hospitals id say. Most microbes are harmless/less harmful. Removing them would leave room for more harmful microbes taking root.
