Cases are up by 5X in our little county. 100 cars at the testing site this morning. X-mas crowds/ gatherings coming. Buckle up!

Yeah, I kinda figured. And I keep reading that a lot of the vaxxed+positve tests reflect non-viable virus.

So I drank some bleach and shoved a flashlight up my ass for the night. Will not go indoors.

Should be good to go,

They’re pretty good, but not 100% accurate, of course. It sounds like the only tool that you reasonably have available. Most of my family will be using them as (expensive) “day passes” this coming weekend. Other family have had close contact exposures and they’ll be using pcr and rapid tests for themselves. They live in an area where pcr tests are readily available and have a one day turn around. A friend cancelled thanksgiving after 6 hrs of driving due to a false positive from rapid tests.

I found this topol thread useful. https://twitter.com/erictopol/status...475597826?s=21

Mina chimed in to state: “Certainly. Tests of all types: PCR and RAPID Ag tell you "am I positive now"

Rapid Tells you "Am I infectious now"

PCR tells you "Do I have RNA in me, even if I was infectious weeks ago or will be infectious or could I become infectious tomorrow"”

Here’s the graphic that topol posted:

Cop pulls over school bus full of masked kids with mask bus driver.

The crime ? Wearing masks....

Bonus: cop denied it happened, until video showed up. Oooops...

Based on the photos friends are sharing this week it seems most have just decided to risk it hoping being fully vaxxed keeps the damage low. There's gonna be tons of breakthrough infections out there.. But, unless you are high risk, immune compromised it's now seen as similar risk to seasonal flu for impact after fully vaxxed. I'm good with that, masked in public indoor places where vax status of others is questionable.

But, if there was anyone at all immune compromised in my circles.. I'd be a definite NO to these family gatherings or rec activities where being fully masked 100% of the time around others isn't going to happen.

Same here in Colorado Ski Country.

**ex-powderbroker** · 12-21-2021, 11:18 AM

That's cool. At my better half's hospital there are 40 new cases on staff and the public line to get tested is hours long. Gonna be a complete clustershitshow the next couple of weeks.

I don’t want to see the numbers or do any thinking, I’d rather stay barricaded in my own basement wearing two masks watching the news.

**This End Up** · 12-21-2021, 11:34 AM

I recently went to lovely Corpus Christi Texas. Thankfully I was wearing a mask to protect myself from all the cigarette smoke.

The woman's family said she has personally mixed up the cocktail and distributed it to group members.

At least she "knows what's in it"

I drink chlorine dioxide all the time when I'm backpacking. It is an effective water treatment for viruses and bacteria, works for amoebae as well but takes a while. Doesn't work quite as well for respiratory-spread of viruses. So this is a good example of how being half an idiot is worse than being a complete idiot.

I thought it was the other way around, false negative more likely than false positive? At least that’s what I interpreted from the directions and the reasoning for a two pack.

Maybe they should put the concoction in a nebulizer?

Yes. This graphic supports this, too.

Well, look at it this way. If you come out of the other side in mid January feeling good, you're cool. Good luck! Report back. If you can.

There's a justice in the fact that some unvaccinated will catch a bad case of Covid crowded into one of those fucking t shirt shops.
