OT: Bullshitting at the Barbershop part III

Yup, you gotta say it correctly to win. He had a Les Nessman Chi Chi Rodriguez moment.

Logically this should work but we are dealing with idiot human drivers.

So, guys, my Brother in Law may be patient zero in the next global pandemic.

He left his school on Monday with Nausea, headache and pains in his abdomen and chest. He has been in the hospital since diagnosed with an infection of some sort.

Yesterday, 7 more people left. 3 in Ambulances.

Today, the school is closed while they bring in people to look for environmental factors. I would imagine they would bring in the CDC as well, IF IT STILL EXISTED

Omg .. hope he gets better soon ...

He's already feeling a lot better, but understandably they are keeping him in hospital until they figure out what exactly is going on. All the pain's gone and he's eating normally after they bombarded him with antibiotics.

Good to hear he is doing better but the scary part is what caused it and if others have the issue how much antibiotics is needed!?!?

did they share a meal (potluck style?) something in the water? Do we know of any new Covid style risks coming around?

that is alarming for sure and glad to hear he is getting better

Nope no shared meal. 4 of them are all tied to the same classroom (but not him). The water thing or other environmental factors is what they are trying to figure out today.

Wonder how old of a school is it? Thinking around what type of duct work, heating/cooling systems are in the building. If not maintained well could have been airborne?

I’m very interested in how this administration would handle a cholera outbreak.

We don't want cholera. Cholera. Some say it's the bigliest of all diseases. But we don't want it. We want it to go away like baseball arms like with the Dodgers. Great name baseball. But Cholera, no. Bad Cholera. The worst. I am putting a 300% tariff on Cholera.

So way too new to have an issue with those systems.

Another item, what is scary in general, even newer buildings have issues with mold. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the culprit.

Follow up(s):

BIL is fine. Will be coming home tonight. Official diagnosis is pneumonia in his left lung. They stopped there without digging too far into where it came from. Since he is not contagious, I guess they think none of the others are, or that he never was. Pneumonia doesn't come from nowhere.

School is open today because a lot of parents complained about being closed yesterday.

Enviro check found "nothing". However, they are going to keep some people on site to "monitor" air quality and check for mold spores. Which to me means they found mold spores.

Mold is my thought as well.

We had a cemetery worker get Pneumonia from mold

Fun with techs.

I was working with a tech to get two tablets working. I reached out asking if there were working and if not what were they doing? His answer:
One is working normally, the other - not so much.
Oooh a game, I get to guess which is working, and what the other is doing!

Some tablets in our system are vendor owned and we have no control over them. All of our tablets are in black cases. A tech messaged me asking for clarification on how he can tell which devices are ours and which devices are the vendor's. Having never seen a vendor one in person I asked if they look the same. His answer:
They look exactly the same, except this one has a white case with "other company's" name and logo on it.
Fuck, I have no idea how to tell them apart then!
Slight chance he was fucking with me, never met him so I am not sure of his humor. Normally he is really sharp.

I'd put this in the makes me angry thread, but each made me laugh really hard.
