I mean, he was in the hospital for 22 days. Everyone but his wife and daughter had been isolated from him for 3 weeks. And even his wife had been partially isolated, since she was positive for part of that time also(no symptoms).
real tough guy shit from the dude who went to mask-less indoor gatherings and got his family sick. fuck mcmaster
Symptoms on the 20th Tested on the 22nd Positive result on 24th Smell went away on the 27th Tested again on the 4th Negative result this morning! Still.cannot.smell.ANYTHING
Why is the situation in Los Angeles so bad? I know there are a lot of crazies their just like everywhere but is it just a lack of compliance? A lot of the population in poverty that cannot distance/follow proper safety protocols even if they want to? Did the hypocrisy of the governor and other California politicians hurt the ability to get people to listen? Everyone has covid fatigue but things just seem worse there.
I would think it’s about population density and community spread for CA. In addition to people not following the basic protocols
If I ever lost my smell I would eat Wingstop almost every day and snack on salt and vinegar chips and then go to the grocery store or basketball games and crop dust everyone and watch their reactions to walking into my cloud of death fog
It partially this, also have so many people that are transplants here so a lot of travel to see family over the holidays. Biggest thing is just population size. Cases and death rates are still just 30th and 39th in country and below the national average. Problem is hospital capacities. Even if the rates aren't as bad, the sheer number of people needing emergency care is too much for them to handle.
Our local boots on the ground reporter Eathan Edwards has been documenting the complete lack of "give a fuck" by the people of LA for the last 2-3 months.
Question for the group. We have a bit of a family issue come up and might need to travel a bit. Is it safe staying in hotels? Or should I be looking more into Airbnb or some other standalone rental. We have been pretty strict with covid so just wanted to make sure hotel stays were safe.
If I hold my deodorant stick directly under my nose, I can smell that Old Spice goodness. That’s about it though.
Sounds like a great commercial. "Old Spice, strong enough that even COVID patients can still smell it"
I've noticed the numbers in SoCal have gone up significantly in the counties that are surrounding LA country as well. Before it was just LA county getting crushed. This shit has spread far and wide with people to infect for miles and miles.
I have stayed in a hotel every week since September 21st. Hilton’s won’t come and do room service unless you ask. Marriotts will but you can obviously decline. Both chains require masks in the hallway. Rooms are sanitized before arrival. stay out of the breakfast area and you’ll be fine
Depending on the area you could be ok with hotels that have outdoor room entry instead of lobbies with elevators and common indoor areas.
Even those will be ok if they sanitize and you aren’t in an elevator with more than 3 other masked patrons and don’t stay in common indoor areas longer than 15 minutes.
This is never going to end https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/...ealth-workers-refusing-COVID-19-vaccines.html
Really hoping this just subsides after a month. My MIL thankfully got the Moderna vaccine yesterday and she's 74. It's the first shot but she seems completely fine today, no real big arm pain or anything.
My wife went into a long term care facility yesterday to vaccinate with 5 other pharmacists. All vaccinators we're offered the vaccine. 4 of the 6 pharmacists declined.
Don't know, we focused on all the positives that happened there yesterday so we didn't get into it details. But going by my wife's eyerolls when mentioning it to me they did not have good reasons to decline.
What am I missing here? I can kind of understand some idiot being concerned with getting the vaccine but shouldn’t pharmacist be educated enough?
One of the guys who ruined all the vaccines by leaving them out was a pharmacist who believed in all kinds of qanon/5g type shit
anecdote time lived next to a pharmacy school and in apartments that were 90% people going to that school for a year, oldest friend I have is a pharmacist there are a lot of interesting and kooky folks who become pharmacists, so not real surprised. I think like nurses theres a part of "they know just enough to think they know a lot, but not enough to know they don't really know much" that leads to conspiratorial and dumb conclusions among a subset of their cohort
I work in a healthcare adjacent field. There are people who have seen the epidemic and it's effects FIRSTHAND and still believe in the conspiracy theories.
It's because sometimes propaganda and conspiracy theory is not really about raw intelligence or experience because it's not objective or rational.
Anecdotally, some people are taking the “wait and see” approach. For some reason, people have decided not to understand how the vaccination trial process actually works, and believe corners were cut to get this to market. I think it’s extremely foolish, but I’m not panicking yet. We still have so many people that would jump in line to get vaccinated if they were told they could. Hopefully in a few months the people left resisting will be the true anti vaxxers which make up a smaller part of our population. Then hopefully natural selection will run its course
Goddamnit wear a fucking mask. It’s s that goddamn simple to prevent the spread. A whole fucking operating crew minus the ONE GUY who religiously wears a mask on that crew all got covid because they were antimask close contact with each other dumbasses. FUCK! Im pissed at some of these people lack of logic and thinking it wont happen to me.
Somehow Florida keeps putting up double the amount of cases compared to Illinois, Arizona, PA yet keep having less deaths...amazing
