Seriously. Blue is loving dressed up trash that gives your animals the squirts at best and heart disease at worst. You're better off feeding your dog Disney ® brand Old Yeller dog food. Dog will live so long you have to put him down yourself.

Don't forget it also gives lots of pets urinary crystals! Blue Buffalo sucks.

Also don't do grain free diets because that causes heart disease. And raw diets are just waiting to give someone salmonella.

Just feed a decent pet food like Science Diet or something that actually tests and does studies to make sure it's not loving your animals up.

So what's the deal with these new drugs or anti-virals or whatever? I hear some people talking like we just found the cure and all the hospitals are gonna get this stuff and the virus will be dead in a week.

there are various potentially promising treatments to reduce fatality rates using existing drugs in off-label ways but they're at the stage of case reports (ie, series of anecdotes) and would need an enormous amount more further study

Trump tweeted that one of these was a miracle cure and should be sent to every hospital in the country.

We just got our first confirmed case at the hospital I work at. We’re considered essential personnel (biomed), and they’ve even moved us over to teams working a day on then a day off. However, I don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference considering the gestation period and the initial bungled response. It’s likely that many more individuals in the unit are positive, and we’re awaiting many more test results. Also, maps are typically days behind fwiw

I feel for you man. My wife's a veterinarian and while she's not in an ER, she still has to go into the shelter she works through a couple of times a week to do surgeries that are needed. She's also privy to all the cases being sent over to the ER hospital and some of the stories have been real :smith:

Foster or adopt an animal if you can folks.

Goonspeed to you and your wife. At my ER we're still getting hit with insanely stupid stuff like "my dog's feet are sore because we trimmed his nails" and "I really want this knee surgery that can absolutely wait right now, I'm just gonna drop my dog off and hope the surgeon will take it" or "my pet is acting sort of weird so fix it" cases. It's either that or a STAT right now.

Basically it's a 50/50 mix of either something incredibly dumb or completely deadly to the point that their pet is half dead when they bring it in. And that's just more stress than usual because the usual mix is 1/3 dumb, 1/3 bad and 1/3 half-dead.

I didn't know about the piss crystals, good to know!

I feed my fur monsters Purona Pro-Plan because my veterinarian cousin made some very valid points about Purina having a low recall rate and not having been sued out of existence for killing pets. Pro-Plan is just her preference, anything Purina over Blue though. Everybody poops nicely and I'm not washing dog diarrhea out of butt hair.

remember viruses are not bacteria, they aren't cells and don't reproduce outside the body so there's no environmental "optimal incubation temperature", it's about how long the particles remain viable in different conditions

I am shocked. My Republican Boomer parents are taking this extremely seriously, staying home, canceling all social engagements, and have stopped having pizza night with their closest friends because their friends' daughter (who lives with said friends) is a physical therapist and can't self-isolate as a result. No bridge, no church... They might pull through.

Despite their flaws, I love them dearly, and so do my kids, so I am glad they are not being idiots about this.

NYC ordered trials to start using the hydro poo poo amongst other things but also noted they'd be doing antibody plasma injections from people who recovered. So, basically they're starting to test this in NY this week with particularly bad cases in hospitals and they'll see how things go from there.

There's already been a rush on those two drugs at Australian pharmacies because a whole ton of people somehow magically got a prescription for them all of a sudden, so the medical association has asked doctors to cut that poo poo out because it's about to cause a shortage for the people who were already prescribed those drugs for other conditions

Either German geriatrics are immune to the virus, or nobody is seriously testing a lot of people.

France is sitting around 15k cases since a week or so, but has close to 700 dead. 5% death rate

UK has 5k cases, but over 300 dead. 6% death rate.

Germany is closing in on 30k cases, but has like 120 dead. 0.4%


Now granted, Germany has the most ICU beds in Europe, but the data also says that there are as of yet few patients in the ICU, while France's hospitals are collapsing. Which means that the 16k number must be complete and utter bullshit.



So even though Germany is the only large country with low death rate, chances are good that data is actually closer to the "truth" than elsewhere, and all the case numbers we see in Italy, Spain, UK, France etc. are completely underestimating what's going on.

If he delays response 2-weeks for stock market interests, any socialist actions taken after NY, CA, et all, are tits deep in corpses will be perceived as savior action.

A lot of his white-supremacist base will love GOP New Deal, since it would be national socialism coming to rewrite the face of America.

https://www.facebook.com/ben.lorber.1/videos/10100172640504176/

The varied stats in EU countries has a lot to do with social cohesion and cultural responses to trauma.

This is why the EU's neighbor Russia has what is (in a normal year) a preponderance of ventilators. Holdover from Soviet paranoia + generations of waiting for the US and/or China to attack with biochemical warfare. :buddy:

Even Kyrgyzstan has more hospital beds per capita than America on average, basically meaning that people in Kansas will die in ways that are impossible to achieve in despairing post-Soviet shitholes.
