I'm less afraid of catching it than just being homeless from losing months of work. I can't work from home and today they said this-quote:On Monday, MTA Chairman Pat Foye was even more explicit at a press conference to discuss the agency's coronavirus response: "If you don't need to take the subway, don't do it.” It's only a matter of time before they start pulling permits and then all my industry gets screwed union or not.

At a restaurant i pick up from the manager forces the customers to wash their hands before coming in. he's got little disinfectant dispensers on the walls beside the door.

Pretty good video on why these Chinese wet markets are such awful places for the incubation of disease, especially cross-species disease, also goes into how these markets came to exist. Honestly if China doesn't put a stop to this or at least attempt regulation (or just separation... if different animals weren't being kept in the same place the problem would be minimized) this will happen again within a decade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPpoJGYlW54

Bardeh posted:can anyone who knows stuff about things translate the mumbo jumbo in this thread? it looks interesting but it makes no sense to me Those are new clinical guidelines and blood markers of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. 1) People who had the infection (you test this by isolatung virus DNA/RNa from a sample for a test called PCR) and have had a blood test done had IgM/IgG in it. Those are two types of antibodies (antibodies are produced by the slower, more targeted part of our immune system called the adaptive immune system, which is made up of B-cells and T-cells) and they mark a pathogen (like a virus-infected cell), causing those pathogens to clog, be destroyed by cells or the complement, a part of our innate immune system. IgM ususlly appears pretty early on during an infection and later recedes, while IgG is a sign of immunity/a bygone infection. So they can be viewed as progressional markers. 2) See above explanation 3) Don't quite understand what she means, though it seems the level of IgG is quite high in those who've been infected, who knows what the ramifications of that are (potential immunity?) 4) ECMO = extracorporal membrane oxygenation, meaning as system with which the blood of patients with lung failure can be directly oxygenated. Basically, FiO2 is the amount of oxygen within the air that is inhaled. As we might remember from physics class the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is 21% or 0.21, so that's a guideline saying the FiO2 in inspiratory air should be cranked up to 90% or more 5) CRRT: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy; we know that kidney failure as well as pulmonary failure are some of the worst symptoms, so that patients who are particularly ill should be hooked up to something like a dialysis, a machine that does the kidneys' job, namely filtering blood, for you. Kind of like the ECMO for the kidneys and vice versa 6) People who have very big lung problems and hightened levels of IL-6 (or Interleukin-6, a cytokine of the immune system. These are sort of the messenger signals of the immune system; all sorts of immune cells secrete these in order to call on new cells, like natural killer cells etc. IL-6 is involved in diseases lile rheumatoid arthritis; it's because of an over-abundance of IL-6 that inflammation and the typical rheumatoid symptoms of joint pain etc. are caused) should get Tocilizumab. Tocilizumab is a monoklonal antibody (remember antibodies? Essentially this is an antibody that was specifically bread within a mouse by exposing it to a specific pathogen or in this case, IL-6 receptor, and later extracting it. It's then modified to the extent that it's almost entirely like a human antibody so as not to have too many adverse side effects.) It can now bind to the IL-6 receptor and make IL-6 useless 6) I think she means this antibody can't prevent infection, it merely tames the cytokine storm. This is when there's an extreme, overwehlming cytokine response causing a life-threatening shutdown of the body (this can sometimes happen in organ transplantation); also people with heightened ALT/AST, so essentially people with a poo poo liver, people with fungal infections (a bit redundant, since these people usually only get these when they're immunocompromised anyway) and active tuberculosis (same thing, these people's immune systems are under a large amount of stress) shouldn't get the medication. 7) IVIG or intravenous Immunoglobulins is basically a technique where you put antibodies into the blood of people who don't have them or who don't have the right ones (like with a primary immunodeficiency where part of the immune system is missing). sleez fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Mar 9, 2020 |

Had an entire family of 4 on the flight London to Munich wearing N95 masks. Looking all paranoid at the departure Gate. Well the father as wearing it I've this beard, the son grabbed under his maks to adjust it, the daughter had a visible gap all around it, in the plane they entered with maks dangling down, at the arrival gate they all had them down of course because epassport, then they all put them back on then stood right in front of the washrooms but opted to rub disinfectant on their hands, also adjusting the same mask all over. But if it makes them feel better I guess. If only these people didn't waste masks that medical personal really need..

Some producer or studio head said in an interview that it was all forms of life. Which would be dumb because that wouldn't solve any food shortage issues. But the whole plan was dumb because it would take less than 50 years for the human population to double again and you'd be right back where you started.

The whole ecosystem of stupid arguments about masks is exhausting. In a perfect world, there would be enough of them for everyone, everyone would wear them correctly, and it would make a huge difference. Saying that they're ineffective is like saying condoms are ineffective, because neither of them gets you to 100%, but of course 40% or 60% or 90% effectiveness is a big improvement over zero. If you parrot the doublethink argument that people shouldn't wear them because they don't work and because doctors need them and that makes sense to you you are probably mentally ill.

Masks do work if you use them correctly, less if you use them incorrectly. But please a flight from Munich to London? Neither of these is a hotzone yet and if you keep distance from other people at the airport, wash your hands and keep aware that should be enough at this point. If you are on a long distance flight from seattle to Milan or the other way round, then you had better wear a mask correctly or incorrectly or actually should never have gone on that flight if you can somehow avoid it. I am not saying it is "just the flu" but there's reasonable and there's overdoing it.
