Hazo posted:Seriouspost: that’s referring to untreated hypertension, yeah? I have it but I’m on lisinopril and my BP is a solid 120/80. Yeah, I have borderline hypertension (medicated) despite being a generally fit dude who works out 4 times a week. I'm not making GBS threads myself over this, but let's be honest: it's not helping, nor is the fact that I've been nursing one of those semi-colds for weeks now, so my faith in my immune system isn't as good as it used to be.

BlackIronHeart posted:Yeah, I'm heading from the US to Scotland in July and wondering if it's gonna happen. the guardian: The UK government is working on the basis that it will take between two and three months after the first sustained human to human transmission for the outbreak to peak. That potentially key point on timeframes was spelled out by Britain’s chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance. After that, it would take another two to three months for it to taper off. So yeah, by the time you get there everyone will be pretty much dead and society will have returned to highlander rules.

Fojar38 posted:Even with exponential growth, if it takes two weeks to show symptoms and the rate of infection is 2 to 3 that is still a long time to reach 50 million The quality of the health care doesn't loving matter. Once you saturated the hospital resource and the doctors/nurses start dropping, all the new patients have to fend for themselves. It doesn't matter if your country's health care rate #1 or #50.

Gearhead posted:The CCP economy is basically held together by people believing that it won't either abscond with all their profits or implode into a series of mutually hostile mini-Chinas that will spend the next 40 years fighting over who gets to be in charge this time. Any information which suggests that China is NOT a safe investment accelerates their inevitable fracture back into Wu, Wei and Shu. koei-tecmo could use some new material to work with

I think we've got one case so far and it's in Dundee, so unless you're really into Marmalade, terrible traffic and quaint comics that are only sustained by Boomer nostalgia, so far so good. All bets are off once someone finds a way to deep-fry the virus though. Disco Pope fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Mar 3, 2020 |

I dont fully understand the wisdom of the limited testing. I work in a clinical microbiology lab. Its the same rules for Ebola, measles, and mers. They set up gates to limit testing, to save money? As of a month ago i was asking the state health lab if we should start working on an in house test, the CDC released a procedure which was a bit rough but doable. I was told no and that other labs weren't either and should just work with the state and CDC. Now a month later they are starting to encourage other labs to bring on the test. It will take several weeks and because it isnt exactly a commercial test requires a lot more home brewing. The CDC and by extension state health authorities may well have hosed everyone by wanting to play gate keeper as long as possible

Sneak Lemming posted:Like 2000AD Judge Dredd comics? Nah, they're based down in England somewhere. And besides they're fuelled by Gen X nostalgia. The Beano/Dandy, The Broons, Oor Wullie and the like are or have been based there. They're odd in that they're institutions, but I just can't imagine kids enjoying them.
