Tbh, it's one thing to go to work if you feel fine, but if you are clearly showing symptoms like a loving fever and cough you are just making the situation way worse by infecting your co workers and possibly shutting down the place where you work to begin with and now you have no job to go back to.

This is so frustrating. We had someone admit to spending a week taking care of her nephew after he tested positive. She told two people who freaked out and ratter her rear end out. But when questioned she changed her story and since it was her word (she's been with the company 15 years) against two people who started this year they took her word.

So the rest of third shift (myself included) flipped the gently caress out when we found out and we demanded she at least be tested. And surprise, surprise, she hasn't been back to work so we're all assuming she tested positive. Still no actual word on that but we continue to work and nobody has died yet.

On the covid front: Incoming press release Monday - scuttlebutt is it is going to be very promising news on an antibody treatment for Covid

https://twitter.com/CurlyJungleJake/status/1261338915899760641

Background: This is the guy from the Netflix Pandemic show that created the single dose universal flu vaccine. When Covid hit they worked like dogs and came up with candidate antibody treatments that should not only be highly effective against COVID, but also SARS and MERS.

For those that don't know, antibody treat compared to a vaccine - you use the antibody to treat people who are infected, very good tool to have before the vaccine is rolled out. Think of how rabies is treated if you get infected.

Don't they stick like 37 huge needles in your stomach if you get rabies?

Isn't that why basements have sump pumps?

It's a finished basement and the water is seeping in on the opposite wall.

Jesus gently caress,

$2400 just to repair the water leak. Contractor on his way over to give the estimate for the drywall repair and THEN we have to get the carpet dude in here for that as well.

This is gonna be like $5000 when it's all said and done.

The water pipe to the hose outlet burst. So far State Farm is playing ball, we'll see what happens though. The damage is superficial, it's just the ripping it open and fixing the line that's the most expensive bit.


Edit: They really don't want to cover the carpet replacement so they're investigator needs to see the mildew in person. Eager to see their face when they open that trash bag.

Our claim has been conditionally approved so long as it's a burst frozen pipe. The plumber already diagnosed it as such, we'll just need repair invoice and a picture of the burst pipe and we're covered. They're being fussy over the costs of the drywall and carpeting and asked us to get secondary quotes. Work starts Tuesday!

So twice now, Amazon decided to charge me for a show that was supposedly included in prime video, halfway through the series.

Basically it's "included" until you get invested in the series, then all of a sudden you are not allowed to watch unless you pay, and you're going to pay because you're not going to just stop watching halfway through the season right? What a loving racket.

That's pretty much Prime these days. I'm keeping it for the shipping for now but the next price bump and we're done.

Repairs are up to $6900 so far and two of those are just estimates based on photos and room dimensions. Deductible is $2K so we'll come in okay on this.

Oh basement leak fixed. No actual damage to drywall and had I sorted out where the leak was originating from soo er I could have saves the carpet. But the repair came in $1300 below the estimate so that's a win I guess.

Downtown of my city is being looted, fires, etc - mostly by white people; not many minorities live here. Louis Vuitton was the first target; not sure how stealing a dopey bag promotes change but OK

Things were chill here until the gas. Then windows started getting smashed. I had dozens of friends down there and their videos all paint the same picture. Total peace until gas.

My wife was exposed to the gassing last night and wrote up a lengthy post about what she witnessed just trying to leave the downtown area (she was not there to protest) and she's received several threats of violence on FB because she's clearly lying. The official word is the PD only launched 2 cans of gas and the rest were smoke bombs but both of my friends on the force claim they were told to toss every can they had.

Same. Thankfully the organizers of tonight's protest have canceled it so there's only idiots out looking for trouble tonight.

Video of last night was posted a little while ago, the police entered the scene and began pepper spraying the crowd with no warning. I have to stay off FB for the sake of some friendships.
