Members janea4old Posted April 1, 2023 Members Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) "Any production that has a vaccine mandate in effect as of May 12 will be able to continue to enforce it for the duration of the production, or for TV shows, for the remainder of the season." "One last vestige of the pandemic era will remain: a COVID testing system will be implemented solely for performers involved in 'intimate scenes,' according to a joint release from the entertainment unions."

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 14, 2023 Members Share Posted August 14, 2023 Man, if I had a child in school, I’d be livid. Corporations like JP Morgan Chase are securing the best air filtration systems for their offices, while paying far less than what schools are paying and some schools are buying ultra expensive systems that are potentially introducing ozone and other dangerous particulates into the air. Someone should really be studying possible connections between air quality, test scores, migraines, asthma (which lead to student absences) and behavioral problems. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/09/opinion/air-filter-covid-smoke-schools.html#:~:text=One reason the government took,in poorly ventilated indoor spaces.&text=There now need to be scientific standards on indoor air quality.

I also wear a mask when I am in spaces where there isn’t enough space for distancing or I know I am going to be in an indoor setting with others for longer than 10 minutes. Now that the numbers are going up, I am masking in public spaces at all times. The masks can also protect from the flu and other respiratory viruses. I thought I was doing a quote reply, I don’t know why it looks like this. Edited September 23, 2023 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted September 23, 2023 Members Share Posted September 23, 2023 Wear a mask if you want to or don't wear a mask if you choose not to. Mandates really aren't necessary nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ponds Posted September 23, 2023 Members Share Posted September 23, 2023 I just went into our local hospital for a 3-D mammogram and I was the only person in the place with a mask on, including the tech who did the mammogram. It doesn't deter me as I intend to stay safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 23, 2023 Members Share Posted September 23, 2023 By the way, neither I nor @Soapsudswere talking about mandates, we were simply stating what we are doing, especially in the wake of the obvious climb in infection rates. I know two people who have been infected, one of which was briefly hospitalized. It’s your body, it’s your choice. I do understand why many hospital workers would be in favor of masking policies. They have to be there daily, for 8-12 hours a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted March 3 Members Share Posted March 3 (edited) Whatever you posted here, it's gone now. I tried quoting but it's a disappeared spoutible. I remember reading what you'd linked to and I was fascinated by the article, so I came back here to find it today, but it's gone now. Do you remember what it said? I think it was a study about how different bodies have immune cells that respond differently to respiratory stuff? Or something like that?

There’s also the unfortunate possibility that the account was removed. By any chance, was it this? https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/study-ids-immune-abnormality-possibly-causing-long-covid-2024a10003iu?form=fpf While doing a brief search, I saw an article about alternating arms for receiving the vaccine possibly boosting the immune response. I know that I didn’t post anything about that but I just found this fascinating as I have switched up arms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
