Getting an organ transplant is a privilege and someone receving one can be denied for all kinds of reasons. If this chud thinks the probablility of living is higher not getting a transplant and not getting a vaccine than the opposite then so be it. Life is full of decisions that involve risk analysis. You can explain something to someone but in the end his life is in his hands. tl;dr Dying to own the libs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Also I should note that the post I made earlier about BA.2 was for informational purposes (in terms of the rise of spread). The actual twitter author is an alarmist. So while BA.2 is spreading and taking over from BA.1 (OG Omicron), there is no indication yet that this will have any worse results for severe illness, etc. It does show how variants will likely be more common now, however, with far more people being infected.

CitizenVectron Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Ugh. So first my top boss says everyone has to return to work at least 40% in-office due to political pressure, but we can get exemptions based on personal circumstance. Then my supervisor/direct boss talked with me, and he agreed to let me continue working from home for at least a few more weeks based on my wife's medical issues. Now, my top boss is saying that is not the case, and if anyone wants to work from home they need to get direct approval from HR (so I had to email them an outline of the situation). My top boss said that if anyone feels uncomfortable working in the office because people are closer than 6 feet without masks (masking only required when moving between cubicles, not while sitting down), the department can get plexiglass sheeting for our desks. Uh...we know that basing Omicron preventing on the fucking 6-foot droplet rule is useless. So dumb. So I hope HR rules with me. If not, I will likely come in for 40% of each individual day and wear an N95 the whole time, never removing it for drinking or eating or talking. That way I can eat lunch at home, etc. I will be far less productive, but fuck them. There's a reason people in tech are leaving for 50%+ raises at companies that allow 100% WFH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 HR has approved my request for WFH for an additional two weeks. 👍 Just need to submit a formal request "in writing," which in this case means a PDF attached to an email...with the same content I already typed out in a previous email. But the PDF makes it official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Just did a tally of all our masks, since a bunch just arrived that I ordered 3-4 months ago. 90 ECAN95 with backloops (my favourite, and the only kind that fit me perfectly) 20 ECAN95 with earloops 60 KF94 70 KN95 The only ones that still haven't arrived are 40 NIOSH N95s from the US. Who knows when that will happen. At this point I am comfortable re-using the ECAN95s multiple times and airing them out, so I think I am good for a long time.

Jason Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 If all you use a mask for in a given day is, say, running into a store for a few minutes, I'm not totally convinced you even need to rotate masks. I open up a fresh mask for doing something high risk like getting on a flight but otherwise don't really worry about it too much, and have been fine.
