With the delt you can use the shortest and thinnest needle. Grey 27 gauges work fine in this area.

It's the most convenient, least vascular (less chance of injecting into the bloodstream), and least painful.

I've had delt injections over 100 times. I've also had them in the thigh many more times, and pecs a couple of times (never again, made me feel faint).

I wonder more about why they use green 23 gauges for blood tests. Those are grossly oversized.

I used to take HGH when I was 14-15 and jabbing yourself in the arm with a needle is far less painful than the thigh. Less chance of bleeding too.

Coofism is a fake and gay religion at this point.
If the case numbers go up it's always the fault of the unworthy sinners who didn't wear enough masks and didn't isolate themselves enough because THE SCIENCE says that with enough lockdowns and mask wearing we'd totally eradicate the virus like China has.

And btw, the stuff I'm hearing from colleagues with children is just bad.
One guy had his 10 year old daughter start wetting her bed again, another has her son go into full bore depression.
Another has her grandkid develop OCD, he now washes his hand after touching everything.

You Christians are alright sometimes. Stuff like this is why. People need hope and a sense of being a part of something spiritual. The current world isn't healthy.

Amen. If you're looking for encouragement, read Psalms and Proverbs (just not from the Passion translation, that's garbage). Even if you're not a believer there are truths and comfort to be gleaned.

It's been said before: fear is driving this entire Covid train and dragging the world into a cavernous ditch. When you're afraid, you can't think straight--it's either fight or flight. Fear increases because they've cut off places to flee and find safe haven. You can't go to the hospital because you could get Covid, you can't go to the park or beach because you can get Covid, and above all you can't go to church, where many people find comfort and solace during difficult times.

I remember after 9-11 there were tons of people who went back to church or started going because they were looking for comfort and reassurance. That was temporary for some of them, but the option to go back has always been there...until now. Why do you think they're clamping extra hard on churches and fining them into oblivion while placing impossible restrictions on them? Because 1) church is community and the governments are trying to isolate everyone so they'll only have access to the fear mongering messages they put out and 2) they don't want anyone to be at peace. When you're at peace, you're able to think logically and then you start realizing that things aren't as bad as they're making them out to be.

If you're afraid, pick up a Bible. It can't hurt you, and it can help.

I have more respect for the average fundamentalist Muslim than I do for any soyed out libshit believing in some bullshit, madeup secular religion. At least Islam has a history spanning over a thousand years, an afterlife,(wtf happens when you die in liberal secular religions?) and a twisted, but albeit consistent moral code rather than making your life about consooming Netflix and commies.

You're probably onto something with regards to faith and coof paranoia. It's not a one-to-one correlation, but thinking about people I know, I think most people at my church have gotten over the most serious coof jitters. They still wear masks when needed, but they don't let fear of the virus prevent them from living their lives as normally as they can. We still have yet to get back to worshiping in-person, but hopefully soon we will.

On the flipside, of the people in my closest online friend group, most are atheist or otherwise irreligious, and they're the ones that are the most coof paranoid. They've fully drunk the "COVID is the worst pandemic in history" Kool-Aid, they bitch constantly about people not following The Rules™ and trusting The Science™, and they can't wait to get their shots. I've long given up trying to convince them otherwise, even after I was apparently infected and suffer no ill effects from the dreaded Wu Flu.

Again, this isn't one-to-one, because my best friend is basically atheist and doesn't really care about the coof anymore. But I can definitely see a general trend between belief in a higher power and not being quite so worried about a fucking flu.

Schools in Los Angeles will require students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 once the vaccine is available to them

Currently, vaccines to protect against COVID-19 are not authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to be given to children. (The reason: The vaccine hasn’t been tested on them in clinical trials.) Now, the superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, the largest public school system in California, says students will be required to be vaccinated against the virus once the vaccine becomes available to them.

Superintendent Austin Beutner said during a recorded briefing that the COVID-19 vaccine requirement would be “no different than students who are vaccinated for measles or mumps,” Beutner said in a pre-recorded briefing. He also compared students, staff and others getting a COVID-19 vaccine to those who “are tested for tuberculosis before they come on campus. That’s the best way we know to keep all on a campus safe.”
Currently, one in three Los Angeles County residents has tested positive for COVID-19, according to new estimates by the L.A. County Department of Public Health.

Anthony Aguilar, chief of special education, equity and access at the Los Angeles Unified School District later clarified in a letter to the editor to the L.A. Times that administrators “fully anticipate” having students back on campus before vaccines are available to children. “There is no vaccine currently approved for children, so the actual vaccination of students is likely a ways off,” he wrote.

There is precedence for this: Many school districts require that students are up to date with their childhood vaccinations before they can attend class, Kleinman points out. “Requiring school vaccination is standard,” he says. “It’s the right thing to do, and it’s how it’s done most places.”

Kleinman says he expects this policy to eventually be adopted in other school districts as well.

Dr. Richard Watkins, an infectious disease physician and a professor of internal medicine at the Northeast Ohio Medical University, tells Yahoo Life that this upcoming requirement is a “great idea,” adding that it’s “beneficial for the kids, families and the community.”

Her room looks like a kpop set. It's also cute-she's lucky she has a nice space to spend her imprisonment quarantine time.

I heard a statistic this morning from a source in the counseling business--child abuse cases are up 92% since lockdowns started. No one's talking about that, but make sure you wear your mask so you save lives!

Feminist bookstore owner from London has some advice:
So, real talk to American friends. Start wearing your masks outside on the sidewalk if you are not. Start wearing them outside if there are people meters away. Start wearing them inside your house if there are others there. Wear them. The new variant transmits readily.

A great deal of people I know all got the new variant all at once, at least one handful of people got it outside in a very legit allowed social distance park walk.

Don't mess with the heavy winter air. Two meters might not cut it.

I am saying this because I can tell from talking to people back home that it hasn't really hit everyone how different it is. It's very different.

And really, I say this to everyone. The new variant is a doozy. Don't get a Covid you don't have to. It's much easier to get.

For months and months in fall, even as numbers climbed, I didn't know anyone with Covid. Then I knew a dozen all at once. And now I know about a dozen more. Just be careful.

I think it becomes very hard to avoid even if you do the right things now, if you interact with others at all. But the masks are definitely something.

If you are in a situation with others outside your home, even if you are in a bubble wear your masks.

You know my post wasn’t meant to encourage people to shame other people or post about how they are so much more responsible than everyone else. I attempted to avoid a tone of shame! People need to think harder about outcome desired in terms of masks and posting about them.

I find mask wearing to be anxiety reducing. I think many people might still need to work on flipping a switch from “this is hard” to “this is protective and therefore comforting.” It’s possible. And easier in winter than summer.

Truthfully, I am selfish. I want the virus to go slower there than it did here, because all my older family is there, waiting on vaccines or second vaccines. Slow this down for them.

And for the hospitals and the workers. Everyone.

I submit this for your consideration, considering a lot more people don't have to die that will if we don't get better at masks and unnecessary going out. Etc. And that's it! I'm going to bed.

Do I need to say two meters is a little over 6 feet? OK! Stay six feet away from people and wear a mask. Stay safe and stay home as much as possible. Don't panic. Keep it simple!

Literally everyone in the world will have caught COVID at least once in the next five years. It is a virus. That's how viruses work. I don't think a lot of these people realize that.

I had to go to the Japan Times to find out what the Secretary of State said:

The State Department on Friday said it had new information suggesting the COVID-19 pandemic could have emerged from a Chinese laboratory and not through contact with infected animals, the latest salvo in the Trump administration’s efforts to pressure Beijing over the virus’s origins.

Specifically, the U.S. said it had obtained new evidence that researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick in the fall of 2019, before the first identified case of the outbreak in the surrounding city, with symptoms it said were consistent with either COVID-19 or common seasonal illnesses.





U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said a statement that this contradicted reports that none of the staff at the institute had contracted COVID-19 or related viruses and urged the World Health Organization team that landed Thursday in Wuhan to “press the government of China” on the “new information.”

“Beijing continues today to withhold vital information that scientists need to protect the world from this deadly virus, and the next one,” Pompeo said.

He does sissy out and say:

“The virus could have emerged naturally from human contact with infected animals, spreading in a pattern consistent with a natural epidemic,” according to the State Department.
