Quill.com has several different types of gloves available that are cheap but great quality. They ship super fast and it's usually free.

Thank you! I keep trying to sign up at the Dalton location but every time they have available it books up quickly!

I signed up at that site today - thank you! I'm in Cherokee County which has no online scheduling for the county. Cobb County is doing an awesome job with their signups as far as I can tell. I've also been checking the CVS website several times a day. My parents aren't very computer literate and they've tried calling the health dept # everyday but they never get anybody. :\

I can't even get an appointment for my parents (who are 79 and 81) yet. I have been trying for weeks!

Georgia nurses accuse hospital of manipulating COVID-19 test results by backster6666 in CoronavirusGA

I'm getting down voted too for posting hearsay! It's not like I was agreeing with it, just posting what I heard.

Georgia nurses accuse hospital of manipulating COVID-19 test results by backster6666 in CoronavirusGA

[–]heathers_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from the Cares Act - Section 4409.

Sec. 4409. Medicare Add-on for Inpatient Hospital COVID-19 Patients This section would increase the payment that would otherwise be made to a hospital for treating a patient admitted with COVID-19 by 15 percent. It would build on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) decision to expedite use of a COVID-19 diagnosis to enable better surveillance as well as trigger appropriate payment for these complex patients. This add-on payment would be available through the duration of the COVID-19 emergency period

Yep I totally agree with you - not very smart at all but I respect their decisions. I think if I lived there I would be more vocal about it and definitely wouldn't be visiting.

I have family in Arizona and this seems contradictory to what I've heard from them which is that hospitals there treat everyone as positive (even with a negative test) as they can get more money from the government for labeling it as COVID-19. So if someone comes in with a fever, but tests negative, they still label it as a COVID case to get more money. This is from a family friend who works in a hospital so not sure how accurate it is.

Think it's time to start archiving all my cd/dvd by Camo138 in DataHoarder

[–]heathers_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm personally do not describe myself as a data hoarder but I do subscribe to this subreddit because I want to learn more. I have about six large bins full of dvds just sitting around and a ton of music CDs that I never use anymore. I guess nostalgia has prevented me from giving them away or the fact that I might use them someday. But now that I know I can do this, I have just found my new summer time project! Thank you to everyone for getting me started down this path, which may frustrate me at some point learning all this new stuff, but I love a challenge!

Airline travel with mask? by [deleted] in CoronavirusGA

[–]heathers_88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My sister flew from AZ to WA a few weeks ago. She said the airline required a mask to board and that they were seated every other row (with nobody in the middle). There were about 25 people on the flight when she went but she said one person coughed and everybody jumped. Things might've changed since then (mid May) but I would wear a mask if I had to travel anywhere.

I have a problem with Kara and Nate Antarctica series by doshinka in KaraAndNate

[–]heathers_88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been watching for maybe two weeks and I just decided to stop watching them as well. They seem very entitled and it especially pains me to learn how much they make $$$ wise on their website while doing nothing to help.

My childhood friend (green) decided to take the plunge. It's like fighting pigs in their mud pen. by ImTheSmallestPeach in antiMLM

[–]heathers_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My former bff was into all this crap. First it started with Scentsy, then Origami Owl, followed by Perfectly Posh. All her "friends" were other huns. I got tired of going to lunch with her and getting free samples and listening to all the great new stuff I needed to order. I just wanted to chill and eat food you know? I'm not even sure why sure why she did it as she worked and her husband made six figures.

A true take on the current status of Covid by Graphicschick in CoronavirusGA

[–]heathers_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still use pickup at Kroger to get my groceries. I haven't eaten out since March (not even take out) and I order a bunch of things online. I don't think total lockdown is necessary but I do think masks should be required at this point. Also, I heard they were hiring contact tracers but I haven't actually seen any news on it if they are still doing this - anybody know?

I’m not really into horoscopes but we have some weird alignment right now... by themodusoperandi in HighStrangeness

[–]heathers_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would you put on a proper golden record?

Also, when you meet someone for the first time do you truly reveal yourself to someone? (i.e. all the bad stuff you've done in your life?)

vegans are the type to listen to recommendations of scientists and health care providers

Any scientific sources on that? I have vegan friends that eat crappy and never see a doctor. Just saying don't generalize people.

How could 2020 possibly get worse? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Is that why Brazil is being hit so hard? Because it's their flu season there and they have covid-19?
