https://mobile.twitter.com/MrsT106/status/1418978938928369667Wait?? So the PCR tests being run up til this point couldn’t differentiate between the flu and Covid?
No. Two separate tests were run on a single sample, flu and Covid. Now it can be accomplished with one test.https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.htmlRead instead of react.

In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season. Laboratories and testing sites should validate and verify their selected assay within their facility before beginning clinical testing.
I can't speak for forgetful, but the states that made bars among the last to reopen during the pre-Delta COVID-19 waves made the argument that bars are uniquely positioned to spread the virus.Lots of people in cramped quarters, often speaking loudly or even yelling right into each others' faces because bars tend to be loud environments (music, multiple conversations, dancing, hookup attempts, general din). As the night goes on, people get more drunk. So more yelling, lowered inhibitions, etc. The latter is why as bars gradually were allowed to reopen, they faced mandatory closing times like 10 or 11 pm.The above is also why some states allowed breweries with taprooms to be open while not letting bars reopen. Some saw this as hypocritical, but patrons at taprooms tend to exhibit significantly different behaviors than those at bars/clubs.
Stop he's already dead.gif
Haha, exactly. Thanks for the clarification fellas. Over and over and over again.
And that all made sense when we thought the primary mode of transmitting the virus was through respiratory droplets. From what I understand being that it is now known to be airborne it doesn’t matter if you’re in an environment with yelling, singing, etc.
Sigh.From the very top of the CDC site (updated July 14, 2021):COVID-19 spreads when an infected person breathes out droplets and very small particles that contain the virus. These droplets and particles can be breathed in by other people or land on their eyes, noses, or mouth. In some circumstances, they may contaminate surfaces they touch. People who are closer than 6 feet from the infected person are most likely to get infected.COVID-19 is spread in three main ways:++ Breathing in air when close to an infected person who is exhaling small droplets and particles that contain the virus.++ Having these small droplets and particles that contain virus land on the eyes, nose, or mouth, especially through splashes and sprays like a cough or sneeze.++ Touching eyes, nose, or mouth with hands that have the virus on them.https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-covid-spreads.htmlIn other words, a bar is about the best place an unvaccinated human being can go if he or she wants to get COVID-19.
Double sigh.
The company claimed to be acting on behalf of an anonymous client.
My wife just told me that the night nurse on one floor at the children's hospital here actually was bragging to a patient's mother that she was unvaccinated, that she's been living a "normal" life with nights out on the town and everything, and that she "can't wait till we don't have to wear these stupid masks anymore."Talk about an idiot. It's idiotic enough to refuse to be vaccinated, but bragging about it to the mother of a hospitalized child? That's a special kind of idiot.The mother, whose child is immuno-comprised, complained the next day to the nurse's supervisor and insisted that her child only be seen in the future by vaccinated personnel. The nurse was "officially reprimanded" but otherwise not punished.
Must have a strong nurses union, hey?
"It's idiotic enough to refuse to be vaccinated" so much for tolerance among yous guys...coexist, eyn'a?so everyone you have a disagreement with is an "idiot'? tells us all we need to know
No, only idiots who would put children's lives in danger are idiots.She's an effen nurse who works with immuno-compromised kids, and she's bragging about not being vaccinated. So yes, she's an idiot.
