This is why I have a hard time wanting to join in on larger gatherings and also (yes I know this joke has been made many times before) why I hated group projects in college
Yeah I'd think it would be smart to get a nasal swab test if I were you, although if you got multiple rapid tests that would decrease the chance you'd come up negative for all of them unless you truly were negative.
I heard it’s still like 5 days for a lab test here. By then I’ll know for sure or not. So I’m not sure why I’d even do it at this point.
you need to be 10 days out from initial symptoms or 14 days from potential exposure to no longer be shedding virus (if you were infected).
right but I’m going to quarantine either way. Just so I know... if I don’t have symptoms by now 5 days post exposure can they still develop or am I close to in the clear?
5 days before you can get a regular test or 5 days to get results? Two of my friends here in Georgia were told it was 3-5 day turnout and both got their tests results back in less than 24 hours thankfully.
Got nasal rapid test Tuesday. I didn't mind it, took 30 minutes and I had my results. Turns out i just had a cold, but they did say to be careful and keep any eye on my symptoms. If they get worse IMMEDIATELY return for another test.
Shit like this bothers me to no end. Even though most of the people probably shouldn't be in jail, it makes a broad assumption of inmates. From my time in jail, the vast majority of inmates would give an arm to be on a work release program. Hell I did. Not only does it get you out of the pod, each day you work counts for money towards any fees or fines you may have. I've seen the documentary on it. These inmates sign up for it. It is not slave labor at all tweets like these are very patronizing towards inmates.
This part invalidates the rest of the statement. Yeah sure, not being locked in a box and making far below minimum wage is better than being locked in a box and making nothing, but it's still infinitely worse than not being a prisoner and getting paid a wage for the labor you're performing.
It’s slave labor in that the money that they earn is likely pennies compared to what a professional doing the same job would be paid.
Clearly these people complaining about house slaves not being paid have never been a slave. When I was a slave we used to beg to work in the house. It was way better than working in the field and being beat and when we got to go in the house we were thankful for it.
The biggest problem is that all the work experience they gain is worthless because those people can't work for fire departments or the feds once they get out. That law needs to be changed and they need to be given a permanent job when they get out.
Maybe my experiences differ from everyone else's and I see that we can all agree to disagree so I'll move along.
So I got my clinical trial vaccine last Wednesday. 50% chance I got the placebo anyway. There I got my first swab and an antibody test. Still waiting for results on that and after my travel nurse contract in Chicago I wouldn't even be surprised if I was positive for antibodies. They called me for their 1 week checkup and asked me how things are going, any symptoms, anything like that. I've felt great, no changes, but I drank a lot Saturday and I eat a lot of fast food so didn't think of anything when I mentioned on the phone "a little diarrhea here and there" and she stopped me there, explained how that's a symptom, and I need to come in for more checkups. I'm like "Lady all I do is eat Taco Bell and drink energy drinks I dont think it's covid" but here we are. They treated me like patient zero at the clinic today. Had to get another blood test, 2 more swabs, and have to do a saliva test every other day until next Wednesday. Shoot me in the head.
Back pain? That’s the one symptom ptom that a majority of people I’ve talked to had in common when they had it mild.
Yeah there's a certain set of symptoms that I'm supposed to let them know ASAP if I'm experiencing them. I have loose bowels a lot too so I know what baseline is. Good news is that you'll probably get another $100 for the extra visit lol.
It’s way better than staying all day in jail and you get out sooner. Sucks they made me buzz my head but I didn’t care cause it’s half the time of my sentence.
not for nothing but I don’t think anyone on here can argue with me about being locked up. I am not arguing “theories”. Prison labor in essence is slave labor arguing otherwise shows a complete lack of understanding of the situation.
Oh I get it, I’ll gladly comply. There’s a lot they’re still learning about stuff and I signed up for this. Just a pain in my ass.
An attendance count is still in the works, but according to Sturgis, 462,182 vehicles were counted entering the city limits over the course of the event Good grief
Started having a headache and some body aches a few hours ago. Live on central coast of Ca so wrote it off to the smoke as we have the worst air quality on the planet at the moment according to our local paper. Just took my temperature and it was 99.2. Fuck...
I was looking at some AQI map today and saw that Paso Robles was in the middle of a little holy shit the air is bad here bubble Driving through Santa Cruz this morning the smoke plume was so dark that the streetlamps were still on at 9:30
visibility has been a couple of blocks at noon the last couple days. Ash that looks like snowfall. That with 105 temps make it seem like we are living in actual hell.
There was a really good documentary about Alabama prisons providing slave labor for iron mining at the turn of the century, and I can not for the life of me remember the name
Yeah a bunch of the southern states not long after the Civil war used the predominantly black prison population to work in factories like textiles and other things. The conditions they ran were obviously horrible and a many of them died because of it, basically just another form of slavery.
