Thanks for the third shot tips, if I take it I have to stop the studies I’m participating in but I might feel better about my chances.

I’ll probably do it anyway since I know I had basically a non response

Still haven't gotten my HF803 from Industrial Supply. Ordered July 29th. Hell, they haven't sent a shipping confirmation/tracking number (*another goon got theirs in the mail and also never received a shipping notification).

I don't need it urgently atm. But it would be nice to have a fresh one for my housemate to use

drat, if it hasn't been shipped yet I would cancel and order one from Grainger. they have a physical location by the airport and maybe you can pick one up there.

the pictures of the filters do not represent the size of these things. I like them but they are way bigger than they look online.

you want these filters: (they're slightly overkill, you've got a few options here) https://www.grainger.com/product/55MY77

these filters are P100 and are appropriate for COVID protection. they're also a lot cheaper than the gas vapor ones. If you're in a situation where there may be tear gas, the filters NippleBOB linked are better suited for that.

Thank you for the serious reply. I needed blood drawn 5 years ago, and had a panic attack and passed out in the doctor's office. The pain was nothing, but the idea of needles makes me lightheaded just thinking about it.

Edit: the whole situation was stressful. I was losing my insurance after my company was bought out, and I went in to get every covered test I could before it expired.

I passed out after an MRI once, I don’t have a needle phobia as I give myself shots but what gets me is the blood draws and IVs whenever they don’t get it in the first try. The times I’ve blacked out or nearly blacked out is when the nurse went digging for the vein which is what happened before the MRI.

I’ve since demanded no more trainees or whatever, only the experienced nurses can put in an IV. They always try to shame me “but how will they learn” we’ll they can dig in someone else’s arm and bruise them not me.

Also, kids kn94 masks are selling out fast everywhere. Behealthy is out of bluna and botn, kollecteusa was cheaper for the bluna even with shipping and they had them in stock. I bought 100 for the kiddo to ride out this winter and spring.

Cool, I’m not the only one. I’ve had nurses blow my veins left and right, literally. Went to the hospital a while back for gal-stone pain and I felt the nurse just taking forever to get a needle in me, I finally look over to see what the gently caress is going on and there is just blood everywhere, lol.

Like I wish they could just tell me what the poo poo is wrong with me so I could warn the next nurse.

Would be smart for governments to provide some basic emergency supplies, including good masks, before a pandemic even struck. As we know from Faucis emails though, our "science-based" CDC didn't even believe they worked initially.

The CDC has the same scientific model as the average chud, whixh is that there's no way to know anything unless it happens to me personally.

As someone who also has triggered-by-blood vasovagal response and has passed out before, the Pfizer shot was no biggie at all. I looked away when they did the shot and didn't feel anything.

Protip for anyone who's passed out or had a rough time ever getting their blood drawn or anything else - tell the nurses beforehand about it and ask (usually they'll tell you) to lie down. This wasn't really relevant for the vaccine shot due to how it's set up but it works in doctor's offices otherwise.

oh yeah also speaking as a person who has trouble with getting poked for bloodwork, I didn't feel the needle for the moderna vaccine at all. Didn't even notice it, only thing I noticed was the liquid felt kinda high pressure or something, i guess cause there's a lot. I also didn't feel any side effects at all until multiple hours after the first shot.

I did pick up on something else:

https://twitter.com/rapplerdotcom/status/1424555187402723328

According to this, the incubation period of Delta is not significantly different from wild-type, or if anything is somewhat shorter (but not even a whole day shorter on average)

to be clear, incubation period here is defined as "the period of time from infection to illness onset"

generation time is defined as "the interval between infection of the primary case and secondary cases"

and serial interval is defined as "the interval between the onset of symptoms in a primary case and secondary cases"

___

there's another interesting chart from the full paper:



they measured an R value of 3 at the start of the outbreak on May 27, peaking at an R value of 3.5 over the next three days.

by June 7, they had driven the R value below 1.0, and kept it there. That's 11 days between May 27 to June 7, so any kind of NPI mandate has to last at least that long to have any kind of meaningful effect, and then obviously has to be enforced for much longer while cases continue to be driven down. But, in my opinion, it's almost certainly going to take longer than 11 days for anyone else to do this if their lockdown isn't as strict.

and you are wrong on so many levels. Chomsky had that interview that was quoted earlier in the thread explaining why trump the worst president in history. Look. I voted for Biden. At the time I was all for the lesser of two evils. At the start of his presidency, he honestly did pretty good. Is he sucking right now with all of this? Of course he is. But a lot of his policies have been or were far more progressive than Obama, and less than a year in calling him the worst of anything is just melodramatic sniveling bullshit.

do I think Biden is good? God no. The climate change thread officially broke me from having any delusions about any of that and any future presidential candidates. But Trump certainly cost us I’m guessing at least 10 years of pretending things were fine while they are not.
