Hey now, you can’t put it in such plain English!

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Perth, which didn't have widespread covid until this year despite no restrictions other than interstate travel, finds out living with covid actually sucks rear end The shop owners and property owners want the mask mandate to go away because say people are choosing to stay home rather than wear a mask. It's all the mask's fault you see. Man we should have figured this poo poo out ages ago. Could have saved on prisons by instead sentencing law breakers to the horror that is wearing a little mask whenever they go outside.

Today for work I went to a customer site at a company that makes doors/windows. I was of course one of the only people who bothered to wear any sort of mask. Apparently Friday is cleaning day in production and there was so much dust in the air everyone but me was coughing up a storm the whole time I was there. The dust is not just sawdust from wood, but also fiberglass and whatever the gently caress else they put in their products, even if the air wasn't full of covid I'd wear my n95 to keep the rest of that poo poo out of my lungs. I was covered in it when I got home and immediately changed/showered. No one else seemed to think breathing that stuff in was unusual or bad. Workers on the production line there must breathe that stuff 40+ hours a week. I'm still kind of blown away by it.

Just handling their parts by hand where I work gave me so many tiny cuts (slivers?) in my hands, I won't touch them without gloves anymore. I don't want to even think about what that dust does to someone's lungs.

cr0y posted:Do we think it's possible covid will fitness trap itself or nah because of the multiple animal reservoirs? It's going to be a lot of fun finding out! I think the fact there are multiple reservoirs ain't great, especially when you factor in the ease of covid recombination with other betacoroniviruses that are widespread in mammal populations. But like lol, we already have our hands full as it is, unless some covid supermutant emerges animal reservoirs aren't going to be a factor in our ability to eradicate the disease for awhile IMO.

when bad things happen you just have to sigh and shrug. there's no way that anything can change in any situation. every event is random and nothing can effect it at all. we are unthinking cogs in the capitalism machine, which always spontaneously creates the most optimal way for everything to happen. it is our purpose to toil and consume.

CDC should bring their silicosis guidance in line. You only have to wear a mask if the hospitals in your county are full, and you never have to wear a NIOSH-rated respirator.

Someone told me there are certain industries that disqualify you from taking an MRI, just due to the ambient level of metal fragments embedding into you as a day-to-day occurence. If safety measures aren't mandated and enforced, it's a pretty safe bet that they aren't generally being followed.

i mean i guess it was mostly old people who died, but still 320,000 dead people under 65 is a lot. only like 33,000 people under 40 died, but that's about how many die in car accidents and we also care and try really hard to keep that number low. i mean or i thought we cared, apparently we don't. sometimes things just kill tens of thousands of people and oh well, gotta move on. no way we could possibly prevent anything like that from happening again

Nice try, Fidel, this is America, you can’t just control people because you’re scared. My newborn rides on the dashboard until he’s big enough to go on the floor without me keeping an eye on him.

Estonia is lifting mask mandates tomorrow. Currently, masks must be worn on public transport and in public indoor spaces. Compliance has been... surprisingly good, I'd say. Well, the letter of the law, that is - lots of idiots dicknosing and seeing an FFP2 mask is rare. I'll keep wearing the auras. I'm mad but I've also resigned to this all  covid is over, as everybody in this thread knows in conclusion: only respirator trust.
