poty posted:is this about working in an office? i would personally not wear gloves. using the bathroom should be fine if you wash your hands 20+ secs. bring a big bottle of hand sanitizer and use it after every time you have to touch your mask to drink water using the bathroom in an open office building is insanely far away from anything which could be considered fine. Air circulation in multiple occupancy restrooms sucks because of the dividers, so you sit on a toilet in a tiny plastic box breathing the previous occupant's ronifarts or you're either standing at a urinal with your face exactly in the stagnant roni cloud of the gurgling boomer that just drizzled all over the floor before your turn.

Restaurants also had to incur a lot of costs to start things up again. They were shut down for weeks so every scrap of food probably had to be thrown away, now the house needs to be cleaned and reorganized and lots more labor to sanitize etc. and advertisements paid for to let people know they're open, just to run at minimal capacity and not even make any money. Now they're all even more in debt and no one will extend a restaurant credit right now so if they fold they're probably gone forever. That will start having secondary effects on the food distribution businesses, restaurant supply, the media they're advertising in, the one shop in town that repairs refrigerated trucks, the fancy farmers that grow restaurant stuff, the landlord filth that owns the storefront. Reopening was a really stupid gamble but everyone bet the house on it.

Vishass posted:70-75% effectiveness with high rate of actual usage would be enough to kneecap the r0 and end the pandemic. If the People's Republic of China, under the steadfast leadership of the Communist Party of China, invents a 70% effective vaccine, I would be first in line. But I will never take any drug invented or first approved in the USA after 1/1/20.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:You can actually measure this poo poo, after the Rose Garden address in March we took this poo poo seriously for ELEVEN days. Then Lloyd Blankfein went on TV and said "the cure can't be worse than the disease" and Trump took that as a cue to stop giving a gently caress. March 25 is when Milwaukee reported massively disproportionate rates of death in the black community, and April 5 is when Chicago reported 70% of corona deaths were black. That's the period the "cure worse than the disease" talk started.

Ruggan posted:Is it ethical for a surgeon to push patients with borderline cases towards the surgical route for reasons primarily driven by revenue? A desire to fill the OR in order to help offset lost revenue from a slowdown of elective cases due to COVID. If it's blatant enough it's possible that the Joint Commission might be able to scare them straight. When I worked in health care the administrators were always kinda scared of them, but if push comes to shove right now it's possible they'd just be found out as another toothless grift like everything else in america. But they probably would go straight to like higher administration who might decide the risk of losing access to all insurance money is greater than the risk of telling one surgeon to gently caress off

Stereotype posted:It's because municipal power structures and geographical extents are not at all uniform across the United States which makes them extremely difficult to compare. People often confuse the inhabitants of an independent suburb with the city on which it has grown like tumor, and the way population is counted also often splits cities that have a unified government and geographical location. Wikipeda lists the Census Designated Place population, when normally people are actually referring to the Census Designated County population which can encompass multiple cities and is much larger. actually its because school districts are funded by property taxes and required to be racially integrated but if you secede and incorporate a new small town with its own independent school system you can steal tons of money directly from any school which dares to educate black people and also ensure your keyleighs never make an unauthorized friend before the racism is locked in by teenage years

Ruggan posted:I’m not directly impacted. I just feel like the behavior is abhorrent and someone should stop this department head from scheduling peds kids for major surgery with the primary goal being filling up the OR. the age of incrementalist decorum has passed away, now is the time to just fling as many bombs as still exist before the old structure crumbles. report them to CMS and JCAHO. there's probably not many insurance companies that pay for hospital care in any given market, pick one of the big 2 or 3 and report possible fraud, its the one single time they might be able to provide any value to society worst case scenario the guy gets elected senator from florida

If the NFL tries to play this fall we'll get to see what happens when an average joe goes up against elite athletes.

the RNA vaccine technology they're trying to use to develop the WARP SPEED vaccine is theoretical and has never produced a product for approval in human beings but I'm sure the christian scientist at the CDC and the scarf lady that helped reagan with AIDS will get the job done safely and scientastically and they won't just test it on 4 supermax prisoners and then start shooting sports players and baristas with dart guns to make them go to work

Paradoxish posted:Do we even know for sure that infection rates among kids are exceptionally low? Everywhere that these studies are being conducted shut their schools down almost immediately, and we seem to be seeing huge spikes with young kids in the US now that parents aren't keeping them home anymore. what seems much more likely than "kids just don't get sick from this one because idk Jesus maybe?" is that there's a feedback loop driven by limited data. Because testing was so scarce due to the failure of the capitalist medical industry, the tests were restricted to higher risk people. Early data showed boomers got removed and kids were ok because they usually are, so no one was using scarce invasive tests on kids that were assumed to be fine regardless of the results. This left more of the limited test capacity available for people who assume "covid just affects old people" based on limited data -> restrict limited tests to old people -> generate no data about young people -> assume "covid just affects old people" based on limited data ->
