Anybody check on xCLAVEx?

Ugh, condolences NWR. Best wishes to you and Bill for family members fighting this thing.

Two SC school districts have shut down after only two weeks. One is shutting down for two weeks, the other is going full remote.

The SC lawmakers passed a law that says any school district with more than 5% of their students being remote loses funding. It also states that school boards aren't allowed to mandate masks.

It's working well for them, a 17 year old kid just died from covid. Their plan seems solid.

He's thinking of a way to give the dogs COVID.....

[bill dennison]

woke up last night with a 99.2 fever a little low for covid took advil and Tylenol one of each
then woke up in a pool of sweat this morning

so I got something seems like a light flu or cold
had a little headache last with the fever last night
and coughing up a very little phlegm this morning but being a 12 year heavy ex smoker that's nothing new
it's all very mild


dad was doing better last night and they are trying to move him out of ICU as soon as they can get a regular room
he still has no covid symptoms but they flat refuse to retest him
maybe because if he pops negative now after putting him in a covid ward I would be pissed as hell

I will get retested tomorrow or the next day at the VA

Thats good news. Good to see the vaccines work well.

I'm good. Finally getting over the effects of the second shot. It affected me the same as the first time but took a little longer to start.

Oklahoma has 6,967 new cases and 51 deaths over the weekend.

[Greasy]

Labs are so backed up in NC, that our cases reported dropped big time. Then if you look at the testing tab, you see why. This is about to explode.

Looks more like a "Sunday cases plus Monday cases are reported as Monday evening cases" thing to me. Hovering the graph to the right shows 0 cases yesterday, and the trend follows back for Sundays.

An interesting read on the covid case reporting.

The local news had a piece on this with the head of Oklahoma's Health Department basically saying that it can't handle the surges.

The line to watch is deaths. It’s usually a lagging indicator and the one that really matters. NC looks good so far on that graph.

In all honesty the testing may not be as accurate as we'd hope. A lot of the free testing sites are gone so if you're wanting a test it's coming out of your own pocket. What might be a better indicator of virus rate could be the waste water samples many areas were doing that act like a harbinger for higher actual positive test rates in the weeks to come.

In two months the concentration in my county alone has gone up 15 times what it was in May.

Going from the title of the vid, there's no reason for someone already hospitalized with COVID to get vaccinated. If you've had it, you're immune. Even CNN did a piece where the regs should include people who've recovered as the same as vaccinated.

The line to watch is deaths. It’s usually a lagging indicator and the one that really matters. NC looks good so far on that graph.

Deaths always trail cases by 10 - 20 days.

If someone is paying for covid testing that's a direct violation of FFCRA

Our school board had an emergency meeting yesterday, and voted for masks. The "that's child abuse" crowd are going nuts right now. I had one woman say, that me allowing my kids to get vaccinated was child abuse.

I've just started trolling them hard. I told one idiot that the microchip they are planting in us is powered by a tiny fusion reactor so advanced that it can run 100 years without refueling. Since you're not going to change their mind, you might as well have some fun with them...

Oh dear God, someone responded to my comment about kids wearing masks, and me joking about how I love that I can track my kids on my phone now after they got the vaccine.

"Are you serious? If you can track them on your phone the government can too! Aren't you worried about privacy?"

I almost pissed myself.

You having way too much fun with this

This may have been the first time in my life that I was laughing hysterically while face palming at the same time.

Oh we MUST see how far this goes.
That is too much!!

See if you can circle the conspiracy theory stuff back to something an antivaxxer person does normally. I bet it becomes a divide by 0 situation. Somethign like I dunno....you can now transmit your thoughts to god and he will prioritize your prayers because of your good deeds towards other people in trying to keep not just yourself but others safe from Covid.

[Silent-Runner]

tell them you charge your mobile with the chip, but it's sometimes not easy to have the kids sit in one place for over an hour so the mobile gets fully charged....

Well so far I've been called...
- A child abuser
- Horrible father
- Sheep
- Idiot (this was probably my favorite so far)

You are a MUCH more patient and cool headed man than I

I just don't bother arguing with idiots. Might as well divide by 0.

[Lazy8s]

True

[Sasquach]

you should tell them the microchips also have the ability to allowin you to divide by 0. And you wont tell them what the answer is, they'll have to find out for themself.

[AllexxisF1]

The biggest failure of the media in this country is sanitizing everything. As long as permission is given by the families, there should be videos of kids in the ICU's fighting for their lives on TV.

Nothing will wake up these idiots more, than seeing it for themselves on television.

I dunno, i think it has to be a loved one or someone really close to them for it to hit home.

It's the only way, otherwise people generally don't care.

[Lupine]

Honestly, event that doesn't seem to work for some. I have an uncle struggling to recover, and his son-in-law was sent home with oxygen Friday, just a few days out of the ICU, because they needed the bed for more critical patients.

Meanwhile my nurse sibling and her nurse husband are still anti-vax, as is my brother. If our cousin dies, maybe that will budge them, but I honestly doubt it at this point. People are digging in.

[Lupine]

Yesterday I also learned that anti-test is a thing. My unvaccinated assistant took his family on vacation to Florida last week. Upon his return, and upon the advice of our doctor and risk management, I asked him to get tested before returning to work. He's declining, opting instead for the 10 day quarantine. Which puts undue load on the rest of my staff. Great 20 something kid, one of my best employees. And I'll probably lose him over this, because at some point I'm going to have to mandate testing at the very least. Why? "I only go to the doctor if I'm feeling sick".

Or, he just figures he gets an extra 10 days of vacation.

[Trunks0]

Isn't it 14days? And that just to see if symptoms develop. They could be asymptomatic, it's not a replacement for testing.

[xCLAVEx]

Or, he just figures he gets an extra 10 days of vacation.

This was my first thought as well.

Option 1: Get tested and possibly be back at work by the next day.

Option 2: Don't get tested and take the next 10 days to relax and chill with the perfect excuse.

[xCLAVEx]

What is that thing on his chest?
