What are you taking about?

Chakras 101 and Introduction to Humors are core parts of nursing and medical education here.

I actually was somewhat shocked when I found out about this. An instance of Gell-Mann Amnesia where I ignored my own knowledge of academic fields to believe nursing schools just told you to like, I dunno, do what doctors said or whatever rather than develop their own "theories" about how science operates. But it does explain a lot of things I've experienced in the past.

For medics/ambulance people I always assumed that it was more of a "type of person" willing to do that thing but now I probably should find out what they tell them. "Driving the ambulance faster causes friction within the life energy field that allows the harmful energy to dissipate, doctors later believe their actions at the hospital to achieve this."

In nursing school they teach 19 years old how to stick tubes into penises.

Its grotesque.

Instagram reminded me that today 3 years ago was the last time I went to a bar before we were hibernated

Dr Tedros criticised China for not sharing the genetic information earlier and told a press briefing that "this data could have and should have been shared three years ago."

I wonder why they're sharing this now?

[Nintex]

They learned from the Russians, just change the story over and over again until people ignore the elephant in the room or the giant gain of function lab researching corona viruses funded by Dr. Fauci that was already taken over by the Chinese military September 2019.

I went on a date and my date was like mask wtf weirdo, so I unmasked for the first time at like an indoor food mall/bar thing with hundreds of people and for the 1 on 1 date stuff with my date. I guess this is a test for how safe it is to unmask these days when no one is masking anymore.

I still wear a mask everywhere indoors and I am usually the only one in the whole place. I don't mind cause who cares, but I guess when it comes to dating, especially a first date, don't want to blow first impression with someone so just got to yolo.

There needs to be a dating site for like people who still mask indoors.

For a country that failed so hard on COVID, the US certainly kept acting like it was doing something for a lot longer than was necessary.

I thought I posted here but I guess I didnt.

Both me and my gf had covid 3 weeks ago. First time for her (!) second for me. Both vax and boosted.

Both of our at-home tests came back negative, even with full-on symptoms. The test at the clinic came back positive immediately.

So just an fyi if you feel sick. Looks like the home tests arent calibrated for the current strain.

My symptoms started with sore throat, then runny nose, then sneezing. Minimal cough. Most annoying side effect was a headache every afternoon and fatigue. Lasted around a week before it cleared up.

GF had some tummy issues, did not have headache , and had more of a cough that lingered a little longer. She also felt a little chest pressure.

I was in person at work on day 1 of my symptoms but luckily didnt spread to anyone.

My gf did spread to her 98 (!!) year old grandmother, but she was given the anti viral and made it through.

[Bebpo]

Yeah, I've been sick for 4.5 weeks straight and doing the rapid test every few days. Probably did 10+ of them and all negative. Since I'm immune suppressed it usually takes me a a week or two to clear even a cold, so this is long, but if it's something like covid it wouldn't be that surprising to take a while.

Also I basically starting feeling fatigued, then got sick, then got over it in like a week and a half and was feeling a lot better for about a week and then it came back and was way worse and that's been going on for about a couple of weeks, so it's not like 4.5 weeks constant, but like two bouts of whatever I have.

Basically having extreme fatigue and facial congestion on/off every day. Like a low grade flu where I just feel like shit, but not bad enough that I can't function. Going to try to go do a PCR test. Tried to get in to see my ENT but being USA healthcare system earliest I could get in was halfway through October. I'm not sick enough to feel like I need to go to the ER, but at this point I may go to an urgent care. Not that they'll be able to do anything without figuring out what's going on.

Was going to get the new booster but even if there's like a 5% chance this is covid I probably should hold off until this clears.

If that's of any help, I've seen LFTs from different suppliers coming with very different instructions.

Some have very short swabs and only tell you to shove them in your nose.
I don't think they're as efficient, as I've heard from multiple people that they were presumably negative but then got different kits with longer swabs that tell you to use them for BOTH you nose and throat, which turned out to be positive.

That being said, at the moment there's a lot of nasty shit going around that is very much covid-like but isn't covid. That's in the UK mind you, no clue if that's the case in muhrica as well.


This was your monthly PSA.

[Bebpo]

Man, if you want to get a real covid test in this post-pandemic when covid doesn't really exist, it's not easy in the USA.

Went to the big pharmacy chain first thing monday morning. The people there hadn't done a real covid test in so long they didn't know how to do it and had to look it up and it took like 15 minutes.

Then they sent it off and said "results in 2-5 days" and it's been over 2 days and still nothing (and I'm still sick and miserable). Like back during the pandemic, you go get a PCR test and you get the results the next day. This is so dumb. Like I guess you need to go to the actual hospital to get a covid test in a decent time here.

I've never done a throat test here in the USA. Even the PCR ones at pharmacies are just nasal swabs.

[Raist]

Yeaaaah, that's not great. wtf muhrica.

If you still have some LFTs, while you're waiting for your PCR result I guess just give it a go.
Just rub the swab a couple times on both tonsils. Even if it's a short one unless you have ridiculously tiny hand size to mouth depth ratio it's doable.
Hope you don't have the strongest of gag reflexes though.

[Nintex]

I'm pretty sure this shit is all around us, because nearly everyone I talk to has some sort of symptom (sore throat, headache, cough, stomach ache, fever etc.) but everyone recovers quickly and can just continue on as normal as they go through it.

COVID tests have been phased out, most stores dumped their stock this summer because ze germans still buy them. The official government website says:

It is no longer necessary to test for COVID. Self-tests aren't required either.

and then there some stuff about asking your boss if you can work from home if you don't feel good.

[Bebpo]

Yeah, got my results from my PCR test and negative. On one hand that's good that it's not Covid. On the other hand still have no idea what it is and how to treat it and still feel crummy and face congested every day. Also a negative is that it means I could still get covid if I'm not careful and getting it while already being sick would be bad, so gotta be extra careful.

Been meaning to take my first vacation of the year (well in two years since I didn't take one last year), but until I feel better can't really make any plans.

I'm going to try to work out cardio a bit. Every once and a while when I've got a cold or something that goes on and on and never seems to get better, getting my body moving and sweating a bit sometimes helps clear up the final hurdle. Other times it just makes me a lot sicker. Gamble, but nothing seems to be changing and I haven't exercised for like a month+ now and feel lethargic.
