So Bill Gates is funding the building of seven factories for seven different candidates of the vaccine. Only one or two will pan out. So he figures billons will be wasted doing it but is willing to fund it. I can’t see why the factories could not be converted over to making the one vaccine once we figure out which one works. I’m no expert on how it works on the production end, just give them. I know a lot would be lost on the initial start up, but once we see which horse is closing in on the finish line, stop and convert all production to it. Make sense?
still no TP in our local grocery store. And no sign of paper towels or disinfectant wipes (which I use for just general house cleaning things. I've been out for a while and am kicking myself now for just being too lazy to go get some before everything went nuts). We're down to our last roll of paper towels. But I did manage to get a box of tissues! So if all else fails we have that. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh, and apparently starting tomorrow, they're restricting the number of people allowed in the grocery stores at a time based on the size of the store. and everyone is limited to 30 mins. No idea how they're going to enforce the time limit.
Everything is a conspiracy. A co-worker's brother thinks this is all a hoax (wonder who he got that from?) to keep us out of work and oppress us, and the military is conducting secret operations for some unknown purpose. Funny, because he's still working and doing whatever the F he wants.
Anti-vaxxers are the worst. Did the whole movement start with that MMR vaccine causing autism bullshit? I know that's been thoroughly debunked, and the original study suggesting a link was retracted because it was flawed, but idiots still cite it as "evidence." I wonder who they'd blame if smallpox and measles killed their whole families.
I work with a woman who's convinced that the Democrats caused this pandemic just to discredit Trump so he won't get re-elected.
Next time that idiot says it again, tell her Trump (and Fox News) tried that line for a few weeks too until it blew up in his face and unfortunately all of ours.

UPMC is saying that this test (if successful) will determine immunity and not just exposure to the virus. If they are able to pull this off and IF manufacturing can put this test out at a fast rate, could be a game changer.
Kind of shitty but not terrible, thanks. I have a fever today and a touch of sore throat. Battery is out on my thermometer but all the stores near me are out of them. I hit my daughter up to bring me one of theirs so I can chart shit in case I need it later. Otherwise just plugging along with zinc lozenges, tons of emergen-c and an occasional Tylenol when necessary. I was a little hungrier yesterday so I got some Pho which was satisfying and a solid alternative to chicken noodle soup or whatever.
For now it’s more of a mental thing than anything. I can deal with where I’m at, but how sick am I going to get? How long will it last? Will you recover and that kind of shit. The unknowns I guess. Also I’m missing drinking and cigarettes. I know better so my intake on both is like down 90% or more.
Made a makeshift one outta a bandanna and hair-ma-bobs you ladies wear. It's super easy and no sewing required. Obviously I'll tell you how to do it if you need.
I did find TP too. So no worries on that end.
Where did you find the TP?
Aldi. I went and spent waaaay too much money as we now have snacks for a month. Positive side is it'll take that long to pronounce what I bought.
Double positive? They had knock off Girl Scout cookies for 89 cents a pop. I could care less about concerts. Just don't fuck with my Tagalongs and we'll survive.
Have you tried to order batteries online? We got some for ours on Amazon. They use weird size batteries. What size is it?
Keep up the Tylenol. No ibuprofen. Lots of sleep. If you get the cough, steam in the bathroom. And hot tea. Just treat each symptom as it comes up. If you start having trouble breathing, get to the hospital.

Oh God. You bought Aldi TP. Have you not read this thread? You might as well be wiping with your hand.

Is it John Wayne TP? Sure. But I also have two five year olds that I'm pretty sure they use it as streamers when I'm not looking. It's quantity over quality right now.
My back up plan for whenever we do run out is stealing some from work. This restaurant doesn't cater to high end, either.

Idk. It’s a cvs with a pin sized screw I don’t have the driver for. I’m getting one brought over in a bit so I’m happy about that. Let me ask you about fever though. Should I keep it all at bay or should I let it hang around low grade since that’s the body fighting shit? I’m happy to dose to keep me at 98.6, but if it’s healthier to say just make sure it doesn’t break 100/101 I’m not sure on that. Thanks.

If the fever is low grade, below 103, and you are not uncomfortable, let it run it's course. But if you have any underlying medical conditions, keep it down. If you start to feel uncomfortable, chills, sweats, etc. then take the Tylenol and get it back down.

I wouldn't wish this illness on anyone (hope you're ok, esteban and jorgeandthekraken) but if anyone deserves it, it's "I'm not gonna wear a mask" Trump. I'm tired of all the misinformation and lies that come outta his mouth every time he opens it. Reminds me of the old joke "Do you know how to tell when Trump is lying? Every time his lips are moving..." Sorry (ends rant) we now return to our regular scheduled programming....
Of course when I get this, you guys are going to have to calm me the fuck down because I’m going to be hysterical.
My wife’s mother had lupus and died of ARDS last August. My wife is a nurse in one of the three floored “dungeon” Covid wings of our local non profit hospital. She’s is also going to be hysterical if she gets it. It’s been nothing but positive patients for three weeks now.... but for us so far so good! Knocks on all the wood... good health to you and all of yours, everyone.

Yeah. I feel really bad for all those doctors and nurses who are risking their own lives and health for us. And then I think back to last year this time when my dad was in hospice for 8 weeks and how much it would have sucked if we wouldn’t have been able to go see him every day just to say hello. Lots of elderly are probably dying alone so that’s an added tax on those directly helping. Some fd up s.
I threw my thermometer away in January because I couldn't get it open to check the battery that didn't work.
Turns out that was rather dumb.
Got one of these?
I gave my meat thermometer a try, too. I found that it gave a comparable reading to my oral thermometer. It took a couple of minutes for the meat thermometer to show a significant rise, but it indicated that I was in the 98 range, just like my oral thermometer reading.
Granted, the meat thermometer reading was not exact and it did drop down as soon as I took it out of my mouth, but if you’re trying to track trends in your temperature and you have no other option, that meat thermometer could be better than nothing.

I ordered another thermometer in the mail that came the other day. I now have three. However, the oldest one always reads 96 degrees or something ridiculously low and I'm pretty sure it must be broken. The one I bought a few weeks ago (the last one at the store thankfully) seems to be the best even if it's an "instant read". I've been clocking in at 97.8 - 98.2 pretty consistently, since out of paranoia I read my temperature several times a day ever since I got it. The one I ordered in the mail read 96.0 the first time I used it and I almost wanted to break the fucking thing in half I was so angry to have wasted money on the thing that clearly doesn't work.

Maybe it's not that all of the thermometers that are wrong?
