Coronavirus

[choof]

[Funnygurl555]

that graph made me feel some sort of way

i really like holes so seeing some like small little bars moving up and down is entrancing

i did not get my covid results today. my roommate tested negative again

edit: tested negative like a champ

[mellonxcollie]

the elderly lady my family has power of attorney for (my grandma's room mate before she passed away) has tested negative! she is in a nursing home with the highest outbreak in the city rn, and she is 80 years old so it's a big relief.

So how long before the new prez can actually make some changes on the pandemic response? I check daily infections worldwide and US has been well over 100.000/day for a while, going soon for 200.000/day new infections

Not surprisingly, the statistics have gone up. The season of colds has begun, which creates an additional burden on both doctors and people themselves. Everyone is already morally exhausted, many are really afraid of the risk of infection. To live in constant fear - this greatly depresses the body's defenses. And against this background, a part of the population, who wanted to spit on restrictions, expose their health and the health of those around them to danger.

january 20th... i don't expect trump to do shit since he's a lame duck rn, but he might surprise me.

also that's great to hear raeko

At the rate it's going and based on how loose some people are with it, I feel like everyone will either catch it or be exposed before Biden is inaugurated.

two coworkers got covid, hella

[choof]

those two coworkers are the coworkers that sit immediately to the left and right of me, hella^2

[Funnygurl555]

good luck and godspeed

Been thinking about getting tested lately. I've had this cough for a bit now, but it's the type of cough I usually get around this time anyways.

Not super worried of my work-place getting infected though. We have such low numbers coming in our library with a process that's a little bit too much to go through initially that I ain't afraid of coming to work in fear of covid. Also not terribly worried of spreading either if I or my coworkers contract it. We clean pretty vigorously before and after our shifts.

To all those testing positive now though, I wish you well.

So guys it seems the vaccination is starting really soon and hopefully this means we can go back to a relatively normal life except for the impending economy crash and fucked metal health after one year of detachment from social contact! Hows's the situation where you live?

They better hurry up and die, wasn't this the point of not preventing the pandemic?
Also in a situation of national interest why would you still need to pay? Wouldn't that be a reasonable exception to the system?

Seriously? Americans are having to pay out of pocket for the vaccine atm? That is, kinda fucked. I'm hoping that changes when biden goes into office, but jfc. I honestly didn't expect Canada to be setting the example here (vaccine is free Canada-wide, regardless of which kind of health insurance or if any).

Can probably guarantee if something like that isn't adjusted to be free for all Americans, then you guys can probably expect your borders to not open anytime soon within the next 1-3 years.

Hey I can still dream of something reasonable happening even against all odds!! Like the poorest citizens are also those more at risk of getting it and more likely to keep spreading it, for many different reasons. If the access is paywalled (even though the cost is not exorbitant) the vaccination campaing will be much less effective and there could be severe consequences in the long run, among which like other suggested USA being blacklisted as a travel destination. Why do they keep shooting themselves in the foot?
