outbreak! (ebola, sars, coronavirus, etc)

ah! imgur does not fwiw.

cool! think i'll move them over there, good excuse as any.

so dad fell again outside shortly after vaxx. not related to fatigue or dizziness, I was dicking around on my phone and was slow to react to him moving his walker awkwardly and striking a wooden plank, which sent the walker flying over and him. fortunately he fell on his butt, backwards, and I got him up. little scrape only.

that'll teach me to stop paying attention for a millisecond. we're still working on the damn wheelchair as now the insurance and the wheelchair-store are fighting over network issues. hopefully get that worked out soon.

this is good https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/17/how-covid19-has-been-curtailed-in-cherokee-nation/

ime getting wheelchairs approved is always a big long wrangle with insurance, good luck for a quick, easy process!

I like that photo, Neanderthal!

What should Israeli public health officials do differently given that Palestine manages its own public health and hasn’t asked for help?

"Israeli officials have suggested they might provide surplus vaccines to Palestinians and claim they are not responsible for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, pointing to 1990s-era interim agreements that required the authority to observe international vaccination standards.

Those deals envisioned a fuller peace agreement within five years, an event that never occurred. Almost three decades later, Israeli, Palestinian and international rights groups have accused Israel of dodging moral, humanitarian and legal obligations as an occupying power during the pandemic."

What should an occupying army enforcing apartheid owe to those whose lands it is occupying?

that, plus i don’t see the plo much less hamas/dawah asking israel for help even if it was the last motherfucker on earth

I have no idea why you trust the guardian implicitly on this issue but not on any other but sure, xxp

(I do know why actually)

A bit too on the nose IMO

no words

spreading cheer, and spreading virus

Holy shit. I took my daughter to that exact hospital in early February for high-fever, rampant coughing & nausea.

My post upthread:

Our household also contracted what Lily Dale experienced a bit upthread in the past 6-8 weeks, came back for seconds (thirds with my wife). Our little one had to get an injection at the pediatric ER for her cough (they deemed it common croup based on obvservation i.e., no swab/sample/bloodwork).

This isn't about trust. The Guardian are a liberal rag that allow for 'both sides' views on a lot of issues, including Israel-Palestine.

I have put a tweet about Pfizer and Argentina a few days ago and also have seen reports that the global south will get vaccines so what the Palestinians get is part of that too and I will keep putting that in here, whether you like it or not.

*vaccines later than the global north

Now we're onto blaming the public and covering up the dire situation in UK hospitals.

The “enemy of the people” thing probably the only thing Trump was right about

a similar case happened a month ago in Belgium:

Not sure if this is right thread for it, but is anyone else still waiting for their second stimulus check? We got ours pretty much right away last time, but still waiting on this round. Asking because I'm seeing lots of post on Twitter and Reddit that people specifically banking with Ch@se (as we are) are still waiting.

haven't gotten mine as of this morning

and i'm not with chase, but with another big bank

Thanks! Just curious.

they sent me a paper check today

Yeah, also saw that some people that got direct deposit last time were randomly getting paper checks this time. Weird.

in my case I think the ACH pre-note failed since my bank is technically closed. glad to see they noticed that.

i haven't gotten mine yet

i have chase and got it a few days ago

Got mine. PNC.

Got mine, BOFA

Man, reading Reddit threads and it sounds like a pretty big clusterfuck somewhere. One credit union in Florida tweeted out that there was apparently some big IRS cock up with depositing the stimulus this time. Apparently 15-20 million people might be getting paper checks mailed out on the 6th, regardless of how you got the first one.

Mobile deposited mine, wiping my ass with it now

I got my check Friday night.

Got mine Friday w/ Ch@se.

seems wrong that brownie is with PNC

I still have an account with PNC and all I can guess is that when electronic transfers come in they get printed out and loaded in pneumatic tubes in some Pittsburgh basement and sent for further processing.

thats right

got mine via direct deposit on new year's day and it was so unexpected my first assumption was that my employer had fucked up my paycheck... used it to pay 20% of the medical bills I incurred during December, really could have used that $2k McConnell you fuck

Haven’t got mine yet but wasn’t eligible last time I don’t think as I was too new in the country but seeing as I filed a 2019 tax return (and had the refund deposited fine) I’m hoping it’ll come this time.

^^^alban caravan

i applied for to be a covid vaccinator, a paid role on an established union backed national pay scale and i didn't get it. fair enough. but now st john's ambulance are asking for volunteers to do the same thing. that's undermining health workers hard fought pay and conditions.

Got a physical check last time, haven't gotten one yet. My mom got her money electronically New Year's Day.
