Kylaer posted:Unfortunately, it's not. There's nothing about the Army one that makes it sterilizing, or any more effective than the ones already on the market against any particular strain. The distinguishing factor for it is that it has the ability to express a whole bunch of different covid spikes simultaneously, which would potentially allow it to induce a broad spectrum of immune response against multiple variants. OH WONDERFUL

I have to give a presentation at a private religious school tomorrow. At this point I am more nervous about presenting and speaking than catching covid. The last time I was there everyone was in surgicals or better.

Pingui posted:Haha, this made me so mad: This is what I thought when I saw that the milestones had changed. It is true that school closure and distance learning didn't really work. At least in my experience, and for the learners I work with. I could explain the damage that I am seeing but it would take too long. TLDR, many younger students are behind because they missed a year of school and don't know how to interact with peers. That being said, we can get most of them caught up pretty quick if we can identify where the gap is. Requiring protections like masks and ventilation could have prevented a lot of these closures, but, freedom.

Oh! And earlier last year "long covid" is a disabling condition and would require specialized instruction in school for them to succeed. Which is really messed up!

The schools in my district that did close during omicron did so because staff were out sick and it is impossible to get substitutes, so the principal just closed down. That article is something, holy poo poo.

Zugzwang posted:Seems like the best solution would’ve been proper masking + ventilation + quarantining of positive cases, then? hahaha yeah. I reached out to some engineers on twitter and not only were they very nice and helpful, I learned that it's surprisingly easy to filter the air and keep it covid free. There's just no will to do this!

Captain Magic posted:I hate all the school arguments because they are *right* that our school shutdowns suck, in the same way that losing weight by eating a poo poo load of crappy processed diet foods is a dumb way to live healthy: just because society says it’s “the process” doesn’t make it the process that works when people are talking about mitigating harm Yeah, agree 100%. What's going to probably happen is that the richer districts are going to figure out how to mitigate covid, probably through ventilation and filtration, and the poorer districts are going to continue to deteriorate. Just faster than they would if covid wasn't a reality.

Thoguh posted:In the last thread I'd posted a few times about some friends of ours that are very Open Biden post getting boosted last year. They had a vacation booked to the Dominican last December and when they found out they were pregnant they decided to go anyway because of course they did. Then in January she got COVID because they joined a bowling league because of course they did. She felt like poo poo for a week but it was a fairly "mild" case even though she couldn't really take any stuff to reduce the symptoms. Anyway, their next ultrasound showed the baby being smaller than it should be so last week they had a follow up with a specialist. The baby itself is like a week behind how big it's supposed to be but it's head is two weeks behind. God drat.

I think I mentioned this in the other thread but a friend of mine is convinced he can cure it with olive leaf extract. Thing is he might actually get covid, drink the juice, eventually recover, and then never shut up about how he cured it with juice.

Why Am I So Tired posted:Getting nervous about the supply chain thing too. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, affordable treadmill (that can be delivered or fit inside a Honda Civic)? Or spinning bike? Don't really want to splurge on a Sole F63 but maybe that's the smart option if I can figure out the delivery situation. If you think it will work for you, you can get a kettlebell and a jump rope from walmart for around 50 bucks.

Why Am I So Tired posted:Oh I ended up getting Powerblocks back in November and I've been doing Millionaire Hoy workouts for the past two years. My wife just really wants something like a treadmill or spinning bike so she can just get moving in here and zone out for 30-60 minutes. Oh nice! We bought a spinning bike for the same reason. I am glad I started the home gym before covid because equipment is probably more expensive now.

Why Am I So Tired posted:What kind of bike do you have? Happy with it? Yeah wish I'd invested in home gym stuff before everything really kicked off and before prices started shooting up, not expecting to ever set foot in a gym again. We have a Schwin ic3. My wife loves it. Noise was a big factor for us because we had a young baby when we bought it. This bike is solid and pretty quiet.

My folks are visiting. Hopefully we timed this right. They're not quite on board with Open Biden because my mom surprisingly said he's a failure. I have found out that my brother is completely against the vaccine and won't give it to my neices. He's also against masks in schools.

I'm on spring break so I took my son to the library. He was wearing his kn95, and of all the kids there he started playing with another boy who was also in a mask. I guess this is how things are now. We exchanged numbers with the parents. It was like talking to someone who posts in this thread.
