CORONAVIRUS VACCINE COULD RESULT IN 500,000 SHARK DEATHS

So again it all leads back to the CCP.
I'm sure they'll be happy to harvest shark livers if they about to keep the fins.
The truth is finally revealed!

if usa was being infected at the same rate per capita as north dakota, we'd have 357,000 new infections per day

Govt. in Slovakia is planning to test the whole country over a weekend with quick anti-gen tests - it is to run over a weekend in a similar way to a public election (it will also be done at the usual polling places). They've ordered 13 million antigen tests for 5.5 million people.

I'm kind of worried about a high false positive rate. If I don't have any reason to think I have it (no symptoms, no contacts) then any positive test is highly likely to be a false alarm but it would unleash personal and business chaos, I would have to tell all my clients I'd met etc.

It's not clear yet if it is intended to be voluntary or compulsory but considering not doing it if voluntary.

Views?

I would have thought ND had really low population density, what is the major urban centre in ND? Must be a massive hot spot.

Does not compute.

Without researching, I'd bet ND's Native American population is driving the stats. They've had a really rough time in several other states.

You could be infected and having no symptoms.

One of the worst perspectives to have in this crises is one of individuated risk.

You probably have a very very low risk of any serious illness but with unsocial non considerate behaviour you can pose a massive risk to others.

Its fairly easy to be the first link in a chain of causality that leads to someone or several someones who are vulnerable contracting the illness.

So get tested imo, and if positive, man up and stay home.

it's also south dakota and minnesota, wyoming. the whole region. hard to say for sure, but i could be linked to the massive biker rally they had there recently, where they openly flaunted covid safety.

quick google

that story was from over a month ago, but it's when cases really started to explode

https://abc7.com/sturgis-south-dakot...event/6416540/

it's really terrible. the locals, especially the tribes were terrified of the event, and doing all they could to stop it, but the event happened anyway. and cases are just out of control

This attitude is selfish as ****

here is a link to better info if you are interested

View: This sounds like a very selfish, American way of looking at infectious disease. BUT MAH FREEDOMS

little video of the graph

I think your logic is sound, especially because the anti-gen tests DO have a high false-positive rate. I took one of those tests a couple months back and tested positive. A few days later I did the nose swab test and tested negative. This is just one anecdotal case, but I know others with similar experiences.

And if it's voluntary, why is it "selfish" to not take the test? Anyone calling this guy selfish in this scenario should be voluntarily getting tested right this very moment.

..no contacts...all my clients I'd met

I'm still reading views so I'm not going to comment more generally yet but just to clear this up: What I mean is no contacts who were themselves infected or quarantined.

For example I heard this morning that a kid I taught 11 days ago is now in quarantine because their classmate is positive. Although I'm two steps away it's credible that the kid might have infected us both - even if he's currently negative and they're presumably looking elsewhere at the moment. As someone two steps away I'm not on the normal testing list, but if the mass free national test was today I'd be more likely to go having had an indirect "contact" like that.

What kind of hourly pay (if any) would it take for you to suit up in full PPE (full face respirator with P100 fulters, tyvek with hood/booties, 2 pairs of gloves, etc) and electrostaticly spray disinfectant around college dorm rooms/common areas and hospitals where currently symptomatic COVID-19 patients are residing?

This will be required 3-4 times a week with most days requiring 2-3 hours of work.

No patients will be present and the rooms will be empty except for furniture.

This is assuming you have the equipment, insurance, and training to do the above job.

$75 per hour, must be paid for 8 hours, even if it only takes 2-3 hours.

USAnot#1?

Yeah, when you do nothing about it and everyone gets tired of staying home and social distancing, it is bound to happen.

It is just sickening to me as someone who is keeping his kids away from EVERYONE except their grandparents that this BS is still happening because people are selfish *******s.

A friend of mine's wife works in a non-covid section of a hospital. When covid hospitalizations were rising and the hospital needed more nurses, the hospital asked if she wanted to work in the covid wing directly with covid patients. With the bump in hourly and additional hazard pay, it came out to $1000 per 12-hour shift. They turned it down.

If I'm reading right, he's not going to have any direct contact with people though. I'd feel pretty comfortable cleaning the rooms as long as no people are in there, especially wearing all that gear.

156K a year.

Yeah, and you want $200/hr to do it. Most people probably get like $18/hr to do it.
