Side note I think the Pfizer vax making you have more vivid dreams chatter I've read may be true, at least for me it certainly is. I's no big deal I'm just saying certainly happening right now.

My pre-existing germphobia meant I didn't really change my handwashing habits during the pandemic, although it did spur me to only use my pinky for point-of-sale machines and the like, and then to treat that finger as UNCLEAN. I drive around after a shopping strip with my pinky raised off the steering wheel like some Victorian dandy.

For awhile it was nice not being the only person assiduously wiping down the shopping cart or applying hand sanitizer. Raskolnikov2089 fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Apr 13, 2021 |

I have a pen that's got a capacitive stylus on the tip too that you can use when the pen is retracted. I've mostly gone back to hand sanitizer because the places I go to that's pretty plentiful, but I make sure to take it with me just in case.

AZ is run by mega chuds and Florida is run by the US version of Bolsonaro. I live in Georgia, it's like third worst.

I paused midway through gassing up my car, realizing how stupid it is that I'm willing to touch a credit card pad in a grocery store but not a gas pump or a credit card pad at a gas pump.

A man in his 80s has died from covid in Queensland. We had a good run, but drat. There's also been a case identified on a cargo ship off the WA coast. The ship has been refused permission to dock, but things could get chaotic.

I can't use most hand sanitizer because of eczema, so I've gotten adept at Not Touching Things. Even the soap in a lot of public restrooms will set it off, so I have to be careful. I used the sanitizer towelettes at grocery stores religiously after reading some of the research of how staggeringly filthy they get, so that was already a long-standing habit for me. Handicap-accessible buttons hit with my elbow are one of my usual things. If I have to push a door open it's with my sleeve or in a place that obviously doesn't get touched, like really high up the door. And on those rare occasions I have to let someone else use my pen it gets a thorough disinfecting afterward.

HugeGrossBurrito posted:you are basically contradicting your own source but sure. Of course it is possible of course wash your drat hands but its very unlikely that new zealand poo poo was the result of fomites, its irresponsible to suggest as much. We all agree droplet and aerosol infection are much more likely than fomite. You know how denialists are like "99% of people with covid survive!!" and sane people are like "okay but that means over 3 million would die in the US alone, and that's bad." If 99% of cases are spread by droplet or aerosol, even if only 1% are transmitted by fomite, that's about 32,000 cases in the US alone. And that's bad. To be clear, I spoke up when someone actively advised "don't clean surfaces in your home that randos have touched." That's way more irresponsible than "go ahead and wipe it off," so I'm not sure why the pushback is on me.

Just listened to the new TWIV and the latest CDC report estimates that about 1 in 10,000 covid cases are a result of fomite transmission. Not nothing, but not an area of great concern either.

I's no big deal I'm just saying certainly happening right now. Mine have been pretty trippy lately too but I get woken up a bunch at night and the early morning because of pets and when my spouse gets up before me for work. All that seems to affect the weirdness of the dreams when I do get back to sleep. I couldn't say if the final shot the other day and recent dream quality are related. It comes and goes.

Lot of people ITT don't seem to realise vivid dreams are one of the most common symptoms of a fever, and can also be caused by pain in the arm on the side you normally sleep on.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:TBF with the number of cases seen in Canada, having strict border quarantine would basically not accomplish anything. It works well if there is not already widespread domestic contagion. It would have made some sense to implement a raft of strict mitigation restrictions including traveler quarantine and lockdowns back in February when cases were dropping and there was maybe a chance of getting things under control if they could keep the downward momentum going:  Of course implementing a 3 day quarantine on only a fraction of the returned travelers is pretty much just security theatre regardless of whatever else is happening, it would have to be at least 14 days quarantine if they were being serious about it and even then that would only catch 95% of infections since the incubation period can last as long as 20 days in a small percentage of cases.

Pennywise the Frown posted:This stuff is really worrying. Canada is known in the US to be pretty chill and seeing so many young people rise up against their own health is just...... mind boggling. I wouldn't say that all of them are rising up against their own health necessarily. I don't know what it's like in Quebec but I'm a college professor in Switzerland and the students here are absolutely getting the short lovely end of the stick and I can tell they're really reaching the end of their rope. School is online now and has been for most of the last 12 months. Except "we're not an online school" so there have been very few meaningful changes to the teaching and examination methods of in-person learning which just absolutely sucks for the students (and those professors who want to adapt to this new situation but just get steamrolled by the Zoom lecture gang). Then a lot of them are working too and get dragged into the office or into public-facing roles by bosses who are ready to "get back to normal". So school loving sucks, work sucks, all of the bars, cafes and clubs are closed and there's a ban on gatherings of more than 5-10 people. Young people have been completely neglected in basically all aspects of the COVID response here and they're sick of it. They occasionally get fed little bullshit nuggets about how we can just go back to class and everything will be fine but it seems like they aren't really thinking it through. When I ask my students if they'd rather come back to school in person or have bars/clubs/cafes open sooner it's like they never even considered that one thing might delay the other. Meanwhile our finance minister is blowing smoke up everyone's rear end about how we can't afford to give any more COVID support money because "this money belongs to the next generation and we can't just take it away from them" when everyone knows the public pension crisis is looming and he doesn't give a gently caress about the next generation at all. I guess I don't really have a point other than it must really really loving suck to be in your 20s and trying to get your adult life started and then all this poo poo happens. Lockdowns work, but the messaging from the health authorities just hasn't been good enough to keep everyone focused on the goal of making it out alive.
