Nurse_LjL: what was the age range for the parameter "kids" in the two?22:07
LjLNurse_, the two things i have in mind concern children under 1022:23
Nurse_ok, cause the young adults seem to be doing a great job @ the colleges so far22:25
LjLNurse_, well children definitely doesn't mean college student in my book22:27
Nurse_yes sure22:29
Nurse_but must be some transition inflection point22:30
LjLNurse_, someone's guess was it had to do with puberty22:30
LjLgood as any to me22:30

LjLryouma, who reviews the reviewers themselves?22:34
ryoumai know nothing22:35
ryoumateachers' lobbies maybe for the sending to school thing22:35
ryoumaand in the background opf all of this -- tegnall, schools reoppening, etc. -- is long covid, which could be bad enough to destroy some nations and is mentioned a lot but not publically taken into account in these decisions22:36
ryoumabut the solution is a vaccine rollout 2d before an election.  "trust us."22:37
LjLryouma, i mention long covid, and my mom is like "it's only rare cases", and if i say it's not she snaps and goes "well we can't stop living can we"22:38
LjLi think it's going to be easy to sell to people that long covid is just an unlikely thing that happens rarely... most are going to be very prepared to buy it22:39
ryoumathat is going to be the problem22:39
Nurse_ryouma: more Bannon-ism of CDC , part of the plan of the Kochs  :)22:39
Nurse_the more outrageous the better22:40
ryoumawe see the articles that are talking about it now, but that WILL LIKELY change into it is not severe, it does not exist, it is rare, it is political, those who have it are making it up, it is too big to fail/succeed, too bad but we can't do anything about it, those who have it are morally wrong from birth, etc.22:40
LjLto be fair, the fact that i'm not the kind of person who's prepared to buy this kind of thing is probably part of what makes me a rather anxious and unsuccessful person22:40
ryoumaor dead siolence in some cases22:41
ryoumathere is history that backs this up22:41
Nurse_it's sort of win/win, undermine institutions with crappy science, institution isn't trusted, then you can privatize it22:42
ryouma1950s royal free and 1980s incline village and lyndonville outbreaks, initial press taking it seriously, then gaslighting for decades with no significant scientific research, even cdc taking congressionally earmarked money and misspending it.  if those outbreaks had been taken seriously then it is quite possible that significant parts of long covid would already have treatments.22:43
ryoumasame thing with many diseases repeated ad infinitum.  accurate press can be obliterated practically in a instant by propaganda.22:44
ryoumaso i agree, i think there is a strong risk that long covid will not be taken seriously22:45
ryoumaan*22:46
ryoumaNurse_: elaborate please?22:47
ryoumaBannon-ism of CDC22:47
ryoumanever mind22:47
Nurse_ryouma: steve bannon when King Orange took office said their goal was "deconstruction of the administrative state' ; Kochs Bros and their ilk don't believe in Government anything22:50
ryoumait's not like the cdc deserved the reputation it had.  other stuff swept under the carpet include: cdc lobbied congress to continue tuskegee experiment funding (despite being an executive branch department); cdc denied seriousness of sv-40 and changed the dates of exposure.22:52
ryoumabut yes, significant forces seek to dismantle stuff22:53

ryoumagood news for once22:54
ryouma(referring to turmeric for dogs)22:54
LjLO.o22:54
LjLbad news for me who now has to figure out which part of the regexp made *that* match22:55
Nurse_tumeric for dogs sigh, checked the prices on Tumeric, 22:57
Nurse_I can see new Dog Supplement industry growth potential22:58
ryoumaturmeric never did anything for me but it gets good press22:58

LjLhmm i guess when *more* of the news were about COVID, i was a bit easy with the keyword matching. "therapeutic" is a match23:00
ryoumai was wonder23:01
ryoumaing23:01
Nurse_ryouma: did you get your teeth done23:02
ryoumano23:02
ryoumai screwed up my health yesterday trying to be prepared23:03
ryoumai missed the ppointment23:04
ryoumaoffered to pay for it anyway and they refused23:04
ryoumabut i hope they will take me, but emergencies depend on cancellations and my window of ability to go is narrow23:04
LjLryouma, is it the usual dentist or did you find another23:06
ryoumathis is another.  i have an appoiintment with the colleague of the usual next week.  if infection hits tthe root between now and then it is a real problem.  we found one place that takes emergencies but they specificially said if youa re vulnerable, don't come.23:07
ryouma(with no covid precautions to speak of)23:09
ryoumathis one did have a device near mouth to suck up aerosols and was recommended by another vulnerable but it was a colleague of his.  i almost got out of hte house but i also was uncertain about it and had been too sick to prepare sufficiently.23:10
ryoumai can't stay on antibiotics forever and they are losing effectiveness23:12

Nurse_ryouma: which antibiotic23:22
ryoumadoxycycline 4 times per day23:26
ryoumait's the only antibiotic i know does not cause significant reactions in me.  (that is another concern, that if i abuse it by taking it too long, it could cause a reaction and then i won't jhave any antibiotics left to try for future infections.)23:27
LjLantibiotics won't stop it from hitting the root anyway23:28
LjLto be honest if it hurts and you need antibiotics, to the best of my knowledge it has hit the root already23:28
ryoumai know now that i should have taken the (not insignificant) health hit of preparing my to-go bags and possibly should have just gone especially ginve what you just said which i did not know.  i was within a few minutes of being able to force myself to go, (although i would have paid for it in health by adding the preparation hit to the going hit).23:32

ryoumasevere executive dysfunction + severe physical inabilities.  causes decisions that can have life-threatening consequensces and which my brain cannot deal with.23:36
LjLryouma, i may be wrong, i'm definitely not a dentist23:40
ryoumaall i know is at a previous time, antibiotics + ewverything else i had barely worked, then all of a sudden nothing worked.  asked dentist why.  dentist ssaid it hit the root.23:41
LjLryouma, well in any case i think there are many good enough reasons to go23:43
ryoumayes.  i think so too.  even the one yesterday.  but not the one that had no covid precautions.  and they are hte onloy ones available over weekend and fridays.23:45
ryoumai was freaking out though.  not trusting hte covid nubmers and there being no ventilation or even hepa.23:45
