aren't mutations happening constantly, and it's just a matter if they make the virus faster/stronger/better self-actualized?

Is there a minimum thickness necessary for nitrile gloves? Figure I might as well buy some more.

On the one hand, my childhood best friend just went into an airport, got into a metal tube with strangers, and went on vacation.

On the other hand once he gets there, he's renting a sailboat and going into the middle of the Caribbean sea, hundreds of miles from any other people.

Sounds like a good way to develop symptoms in the middle of the ocean.

The thicker they are the less dexterity you will have, but they will be less likely to tear. So like mechanics would want thicker ones, medical peeps would want thinner ones.

Mini OP Update:

Added a Monkeypox Quick FAQ - tracker, ECDC report, Twitter thread

Removed some older covid maps

Added the "Do you qualify for Paxlovid" and "How to get Paxlovid w/ screenshots" guides.

Pingui posted:

Mostly for the graphics, but also the publication:

Added the images from above post to the Nightmare Fuel Gallery, didn't add the article because it's paywalled

Removed the dead link to the Google Doc from the prior threads, this was actually in the OP twice because someone asked a mod to add it and they did even though it was already in the OP, which is fine and doesn't bother me

Removed the massive respirator info dump and replaced it with a link to said info dump

Removed the fake Official COVID-19 FAQ because it didn't really have any useful info and my jokes were weak

i don't know about thickness, but i do know there are standards for certifying gloves that protect against viruses and microorganisms. early on in the pandemic i scored some gloves that were certified to EN ISO 374 or ASTM F 1671. they had a little biohazard symbol printed on the box. for what it's worth, they were 6 mil.

You have let down our shitposting and our pandemic. You have the nerve not to manufacture IL-4 until now. Our population now need IL-4 mutations like the covid it breathes, like the Applebees it eats. This monkeypox now produces one IL-4 a day….It is a mockery of the CDC….I ask you not to try the government’s mildness, and demand that you manufacture more IL-4. This is my final warning.

Okay, so hear me out, what if we just didn't do this? :smith:

For a federal agency that is, to put it mildly, VERY concerned with optics they are suddenly not very concerned with optics. Is everyone that worked on HIV/AIDS at the CDC so broke-brained that they can't remember what happened in the 80s? Sorry LGBTQI folks, back in the meat grinder you go I guess. Is it normal to be this angry at everything? Asking for a friend.

Thanks, that's really good to know. Do you by any chance remember the brand?

For anyone looking, these are on sale right now - they seem to have the 374 on the box but nothing about the 1671, not sure if that matters.

its hilarious because 'no, monkeypox hasn't mutated' is running right into a brick wall of 'well, why are ya'll pretending it's a homosexual-specific STI suddenly?' without a good explanation beyond 'well, they're both icky so i kind of assumed'

They remember it very well, see when you explicitly want loving and sucking to commence, it is pretty useful to point a finger at a subgroup and imply they are the only ones at risk when loving and/or sucking. Just like it was in the 80s.
