bollig posted:Flying internationally tomorrow. Europe to States. So I can't wait to be stuck an ocean away from my cat while the world wheezes to death. I was honestly hoping to age my way out of vulnerability of these flus. Basically if you're young you're hosed. Weeeeeell. I got bad news about getting old(er). I went to a convalescent home today for work (in the US). They had signs all over the place: "We are experiencing an outbreak of respiratory tract infection. Please wash your hands, cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and feel free to wear the face-masks provided."

I’d really like to know if more “normal” summer ambient temperatures could have an effect on suppressing it. Quick! Everyone get a warehouse job in Florida! The heat lasts all night long.

Subvisual Haze posted:Are you using an oral thermometer? The temperature it records will increase or decrease depending on you drinking/eating cold or hot things before measuring. Apparently the forehead/temple thermometers are the most accurate option currently, but good luck finding one as shortages and price gouging have hit them hard recently. I can see that. I'm getting my temp checked multiple times a day with a temporal thermometer. My work partner and I are 24 and 35 years old, respectively. The people we serve range from 50-90 years old and their temps are in the 98-99 range while ours are low 97's.

If I could make a decent living as an EMT, I’d still be doing it as a full-time job, but nope, I was making 11.33 an hour. Holy gently caress, what?! You'd make more than that doing non-emergency transport. What the gently caress. Did you have to pay for training on top of that?

Funny you should mention that. I talked to my father the other day and that exact thing made him abandon his plans to visit people in Berlin, coming from the B-W/Bavaria border. I tell the man about how it is here in Florida and he didn't believe me. "What do you mean, people refuse to wear masks?", he asks. "Yeah. It's a political thing, too." "groan" Feel like driving your parents around. "Well, are you gonna go?" "This truck ain't moving until your seatbelt is on." "Oh! Oh yeah. I taught you that."

Mozi posted:what was that old goon question-and-answer text about how easy it will be to invade iraq? i need it for a project It's Grover, if that helps. How long will it take to capture Baghdad? 2 days Will Saddam be killed? Yes Total Iraqi civillian casualties: 500 dead Total military casualties Iraq: 3000 dead Total military casualties U.S.: 15 dead Will the Iraqi army regulars hold the lines? No Will the Republican Guard fight to the end? No Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on Israel? No -If yes; will Isreal retaliate harshly? Yes Will Saddam sacrifice Baghdad (gas/nuke it)? No Will the Kurds make a grab for independence? Yes Will Iran do anything silly like try for land? Yes Will Saddam burn the oil fields? Yes How long will the US be occupying Iraq? ~15 years Will the Iraq war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world? Good We have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities: 1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market. 2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up. OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number! 3) A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed. 4) A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode. 5) A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit. 6) A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed. 7) A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster. etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent. madeintaipei fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Aug 4, 2020 |

I'm just a slightly fat pos, but I haven't been to work in over two weeks. The only thing getting exercised is my right elbow (I will leave that up to your imagination). Lol, these fuckers told me they didn't have any work for the next two weeks, came and got the van, then haven't said poo poo to me since then. Would it have been so hard to fire me? Oh well, business had dropped off to the point I was only making 300 a week. We were doing non-emergency medical transport, so I'm kind of glad not to go into nursing homes anymore. I'm treating this as my quarantine period before I go back to working in grocery stores. Which will surely be better for my health.

Why, a corporate retreat at a ferry to Estonia and back! 81 people attended the corporate event, "two or three of them" were already sick and showing symptoms during the event, but decided to go ahead anyway. If any are young enough to still be reservists, could the military go after them for anything? Degrading national readiness or something like that? "Okay, we made sure you were treated and quarantined. Now we do two weeks of PT all day to make sure you can still serve. Sisu, motherfuckers."

Doubtless, there is a company selling people's labor to operate the cars leased out for someone else to drive for uber. Uber-boros.
