Computer Serf posted:uh what about that time before smallpox was eradicated? You can totally decontaminate a surface. But like I said there are certain things you cannot decontaminate. Thus at an individual level it's simply not possible to eliminate as many of your risk factors as you can with COVID/Flu/Etc. That's where the crack ping comes from I think, at the individual level. I can effectively keep my COVID risk so low as to virtually eliminate it. If every object I bring back from the grocery store and every package coming into my house has *pox on it, I simply cannot.

So this is good, right? any caveat here? I mean besides the 5 other pandemics coming down the pike https://mobile.twitter.com/awgaffney/status/1528876982754476032 https://mobile.twitter.com/awgaffney/status/1528876996926791680

Stereotype posted:it's a little concerning that the number of new monkeypox cases keeps going up every day and the general consensus of everyone in power is that it's fine and we don't have to do anything. it's just gonna go away on its own i guess. the equilibrium point to which all novel diseases gravitate is "no disease." because that's what it was before they appeared you see, so it will just go back to being that way, no actions required. stop worrying so much over nothing. The science says that monkeypox is not known to be a particularly infectious disease, has no history of human to human transmission, and isn't able to secure a foothold outside of its native habitat of african rainforests

Also depends in part on if it truly does linger for days/months on all surfaces. Like if you have enough PPE and food already, you can buy more, keep it somewhere isolated, and then open it after X days once the danger has passed.

Whoever bought you that red text is the bigger rear end in a top hat though because it’s annoying to be reminded of how much that interaction sucked, red text is loving stupid. I've had avatars turned off for years. I didn't know I had a red text until someone pointed it out.

My concern with covid is that I can get it repeatedly and there’s a bunch of bad poo poo it does that we know about and a bunch of potentially bad poo poo we don’t know about yet because it’s a novel virus. But monkeypox would probably just horribly disfigure me and that’s way less stressful.

But monkeypox would probably just horribly disfigure me and that’s way less stressful. Honestly kind of where I'm at. As I'm single now and there's no way to safely date really, gently caress it, I'm going to be single the rest of my life. Being a horribly deformed mutant will not impact my social life because COVID prevention measures have already ensured I will never have a face-to-face social life again, anyway. I'm just more worried that if I get the 'pox I'll have it bad enough to need to be hospitalized, at which point lol I'll finally get COVID.

The CAEv2 was a double ended earplug that 3M claimed would offer users different levels of protection.[89] Between 2003 and 2015, these earplugs were standard issue to members of the U.S. military.[90] 3M acquired Aearo Technologies in 2008.[91] for example, who knows what kind of faulty plastic resin substitutes they may or may not have to use between the start of the pandemic and the rest of our lives, and which of their engineers have long COVID and can’t do the needful? I love mask, I just think it’s shortsighted to worship merchandise.

Thus at an individual level it's simply not possible to eliminate as many of your risk factors as you can with COVID/Flu/Etc. what can’t you decontaminate? just wash things off with soapy water. even takeout or pizza you could just get a torch to it if you really felt like it can’t be brought inside. UV lights might work too

nexous posted:sorry if I have to wash my pizza I’m just gonna die instead You're in luck, because I'm testing a new method of pizza sanitization where i place it in a closed chamber that can reach temperatures in excess of four hundred degrees Fahrenheit and hold it at that temperature for 15 to 30 minutes (the precise time depends on the thickness of the pizza, thicker pizza stays in longer to ensure all of it reaches a high enough temperature to kill all pathogens that may be contaminating it)
