Curious. All these billionaires are college dropouts who know nothing about physics, but they like to claim they could have been physicists. So why don't they go back to school?

While Amazon claims the goal of RTO is to increase collaboration, survey finds many employees (45%) aren’t even assigned to the same office as their manager and 38% said they only worked alongside a fraction of their team members—either 20% or less.

@blogdiva it's never been about collaboration, it's 100% about justifying the billions they've invested in real estate that they now can't unload because the world realized office buildings are terrible.

@blogdiva what's wild to me is that the shareholders are stupid enough to fall for it instead of holding management responsible for making bad decisions (or, y'know, understanding that circumstances change and you just have to take losses sometimes).

Instead they take it out on the #labor.

The system's propensity to perpetuate itself is just ... mind blowing. Frustrating. Depressing.

86 Stories of Progress from 2024

While this year's biggest 'health' stories were about CEO assassinations, vaccine skepticism and scary viral outbreaks, history was being made in the background. Multiple countries declared victory over age-old afflictions like malaria, leprosy and trachoma, the global campaign against cervical cancer reached a turning point, with widespread HPV vaccination putting humanity on track to eliminate a cancer for the first time, and in places like Gaza and Sudan, health workers achieved the near-impossible, vaccinating millions.

Scientific breakthroughs, from personalised mRNA vaccines to GLP-1 therapies, offered new hope for billions suffering from previously intractable conditions, and we saw world-first treatments for diseases like cancer, diabetes and lupus. Most importantly, healthcare increasingly reached those who need it most, with expanded access to vaccines, treatments, and coverage for people in low and middle income countries. From South Asia's dramatic reduction in child mortality to Africa's unexpected progress on tuberculosis, this year demonstrated that sustained political commitment can change the trajectories of entire nations.

OMG.

My teen son was sick all last week. Said "everyone" at school is sick & NO ONE is masking (except him). Symptoms presented like a head cold. 3 rapid tests 48 hours apart all negative. He's better now.

But 10 days after his 1st symptoms, I got sick. Yesterday's rapid test was negative, but after a 102.5 F fever last night, today I am positive.

FYI someone shared this article about the 4 kinds of PCR tests and for those looking into it, there's a range of costs (per device/test), each kinda fitting a certain usage profile, and the more you use the PCR tests, the cheaper they are.

Anyway, it's a good article: https://lifehacker.com/where-to-find-a-pcr-covid-test-and-why-you-need-one-1850779459

I have Metrix but I got a Lucira to have on hand for that at-home flu test as well given there are antivirals for flu now, and that reduces your chances of pneumonia.

Susan Kaye Quinn 🌱(she/her) 1 week ago • mastodon (AP)

yeah, I can totally see that--there really are a bunch of different use cases and I think people look at the upfront cost and just NOPE out when it actually is cost-effective if you look at it over any period of time. Because COVID isn't going away.

It sucks that these tests are FREE but that's the world we're in now.

ikuo 1 week ago (Received 7 days ago) • mastodon (AP)

@ABScientist @susankayequinn Exactly. Air purifiers, masks, and rapid tests already cost $$$. Of course I know that over time, Pluslife will be cheaper than rapid tests, plus we'll be getting more accurate results, it's just a lot to spend up front.

I hate how trying to stay healthy actually requires financial privilege.

For anyone else thinking the same, this unofficial website for Pluslife users has an email you can contact for a discount code:

That is something I am struggling with too.

I do not like having to spend > 300 Euro of hard earned money in an uncertain job to test people who do not care whether I get sick or disabled from them insisting that they must be able to eat with me indoors in the middle of winter.

A 50cts mask on each person's face would do the job and we could postpone eating together until the weather is better and we can all be outdoors.

@Susan Kaye Quinn 🌱(she/her)

Susan Kaye Quinn 🌱(she/her) 7 days ago • mastodon (AP)

Testing is really not a substitute (to me) for any of that: I still mask, I still won't eat indoors/restaurants, and my oldest son is literally home sick right now, delaying coming home for the holidays until he's better — but thanks to the test, he knows it's not COVID.

The other reason to test is if you *do* have COVID, you can get Paxlovid at the right time.

@susankayequinn
In the Netherlands we do not have access to Paxlovid, so there's only the wanting to know whether it is Covid or not.

I mask everywhere indoors, despite everyone hating me for it. I do not want to give this disease to anyone, whether they do not mind or not.

And obviously I want to keep the risk of contracting it as low as possible.

@Susan Kaye Quinn 🌱(she/her)

Susan Kaye Quinn 🌱(she/her) 6 days ago • mastodon (AP)

@ABScientist ugh I’m sorry you don’t have access to Paxlovid 🙁

I think knowing would still matter to me, in case it turned into long covid—it would help with diagnosis.

Also: if it’s serious and you know it’s covid you might be more likely to go to hospital where they have other covid antiviral treatments
@ikuo1000

@ikuo @Another concerned scientist

Another concerned scientist 6 days ago • mastodon (AP)

@susankayequinn
There are no other Covid antiviral treatments in the Netherlands either.

They may give you Dexamethasone if you get severely ill. But I am too young probably for those as well. Everyone under 70 is expected to clear Covid by themselves.

@Susan Kaye Quinn 🌱(she/her)

Susan Kaye Quinn 🌱(she/her) 6 days ago • mastodon (AP)

@ABScientist There is a lot of underusage of Paxlovid here in America as well, mostly because doctors and patients are misinformed or because doctors are skittish about prescribing. It's causing a lot of unnecessary long covid (and death) and it's infuriating. At least here you can shop around until you find a better informed doctor.

I'm sorry they're restricting usage in NL 🙁
