The Tennesseean (Or, Brian Haas et al have left the building)
Lumber_Jack replied to R_Bert's topic in General Chat
Sorry to hear about the beard. I hate to see good facial hair cut down in its prime. True shame. Maybe we can dream of a day when a man isn't forced to go beardless in the name of professionalism. Fight the power -
You're right it's Fluticasone. I just spelled it wrong. It's prescription only for now. I don't know of any daily use maintenance nasal spray that's OTC. just the crack Afrin. Which is a godsend if your stopped up to the point of no breathing. I wish you didn't have to sign over your first born for Sudafed too
-
I take Claritin (generic) every day all year. I think it helps even though allergies con and go with seasons. I too take Sudafed for a decongestant as-needed as you're not supposed to take a decongestant long term. (Hence why I don't take Claritin-D) The biggest help for me was I got a long term nasal steroid spray. I use Floticison (Flonase). It has taken me from months of stopped up nose and watery eyes to hardly any symptoms ever. It's really the key to my relief. The crux for me is taking the maintenance drugs year round. Never getting to a point of suffering.

What stores do you find good in the Nashville area?
-
Yeah, what defines it as a fake?
-
Probably take closer to a month. But still quick
-
Generally most use 29.5" for a standard 10.5" barrel and M4 stock. Anything in that proximity will be fine.
-
Yes. After this you can change uppers or barrels as long as the gun can be returned to original configuration.

Irony; I saw at least 3 adds for their shop durning the local morning news on fox, during which they were covering the break in. I think they need to consider 1) moving, and 2) a block front wall and security system

Yeah, it's working fine now. It must have been my app was hung up. It didn't work until I got back to wi-fi then it corrected itself. Who knows
-
Anyone else having issues with Tapatalk? Mine isn't loading any new threads. Worked fine last night. Just wondering if I'm solo here.

I finished a GINORMOUS knife today....

when does it quit being a knife and become a sword? awesome regardless!! -
In that testimony he was referring to how the Ebola passed into the nurse while she was wearing PPE. He was referring to how the protocol was broken that allowed transmission not how wether it was airborne or body fluid. In other words did she touch the outside if her suit while removing it, or what. That hospital butchered the protocol. There were biohazards (blood, dirty diapers, etc) stacked to the ceiling. Emory had the first patient (the Dr) and they contained it. It's about following protocol (or knowing it to begin with). The biggest thing to worry about is system overload. If too many people get it our hospitals won't be able to keep up. If caught early on, it is survivable.
-
Who are these "doctors" of which you generally speak. You are not getting the message right. NO ONE is saying it's impossible to catch. It is very very possible to catch it. It just can't float through the air in the mall. That's it, bottom line. If someone swims across the rio grande and coughs on someone in El Paso you should then be worried. But right now there are 2 living people in the US with the disease and they are in a bubble. One in Atlanta and on in Maryland This disease will spread but it will be just like it was 40 years ago, through body fluid.
-
That's because you don't understand the virology of Ebola and you apparently never will. Just because it's not airborne doesn't mean it's hard to catch. That's what I don't understand about you argument. It can live for up to six days on any surface.
-
Making up ridiculous scenarios doesn't affirm that it's airborne
-
You're dense Walking in the room you are contacting the floor. THATS CONTACT. Your shoes can carry the disease. If I could be suspended in the air then yes I'll go in the damn room
-
Room, no. That's close contact! The hospital itself yes no problem. The room could be contaminated in any area. Now would I walk up to within 10 ft of someone out in the open air that was knowingly infected. Yes no worry Again there are American and European reporters that are doing this on a daily basis and not getting infected.
-
That's simply not true. Someone has to sneeze ON YOU. and then you touch your eye or mouth without sanitizing. This is a prime example of how the story is misconstrued. The disease cannot float in the air, that's why it's not considered AIRBORNE
-
Yes if it was airborne the infection rate would be significantly higher. If you don't believe that that's fine. Again you can believe what you want. I have read numerous things. None of which have any evidence that Ebola is transmitting any differently thank it did in the 70s when it was discovered. There are only 2 cases of infection in the US Both of which had direct contact with diarrhea filled diapers. If it was or is airborne there would be many more infections simply die to the fact that they are treating it as a direct contact. Anyone removing hazard suits would be at risk, you would have to decontaminate the suit before taking it off. That simply isn't the case. And that's enough for me to believe in the ACTUAL science. So many people have an utter distrust for the .gov that they make shit up just to be at odds with them. I certainly don't trait Obama or his czar but the scientists who know Ebola aren't writing a new manual on its transmission
-
If it was airborne there wouldn't be anyone left alive in Africa. Sneezing and exhaled breath are still considered close contact infection. I've seen no credible source of anyone that says it's truly airborne. So yes it is about what people want to believe
-
It's been explained. He is the safety protocol supervisor. He isn't suited up because it obstructs his view. He is observing those who are contacting the patient while he is at a safe distance. He is trained to not make contact and has a suit ready if a situation were to warrant him putting it on. He observes the transfer of potentially contaminated material in biohazard containment bags and then boards the plane. Regardless of what people want to believe, this disease isn't airborne, keeping a distance from infected patient is a perfectly reasonably safety measure. I read a story if how reporters in west Africa are safer NOT wearing suites because the potential contamination when removing it is high. It's better to not wear the suit and keep you distance from anyone who might have the EBOLA and basically don't touch anything and disinfect continually.
-
I heard today also that it's not communicable until the patient has a high grade fever of 104. The nurse on the plane only had a low grade. I guess time will tell if that's true or not.
