Gearhead posted:ACEII is an essential protein in regulating important parts of our metabolism, we have to be extremely careful messing around with it. It's present in the lungs, heart, kidneys, ovaries and testicles and other places to help regulate function. Blocking it would be like blowing up the interstates and all the bridges in a given major city. TMPRSS2 inhibition seems to be a promising approach so far though. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867420302294

I was three days away from flying to Russia. Now they've shut the borders suddenly. I found out from the consulate as they were handing me my visa. My first flight got pushed back then cancelled when Khazikstan closed their borders, then the second flight got pushed back, and now my third attempt at a flight has also been cancelled. I wasn't planning to be unemployed and homeless for this long. I'm starting to think it might be time to give up trying to hop from one country to the next and head back to the US for a bit.

Ornamental Dingbat posted:From another thread, this strikes me as something to be concerned about : The VA has enough problems on its hands. The last thing you want to do is start putting overflow in the VA, that's riddled with vets with all sorts of problems. A lot of VAs are attached to university hospitals, so it's going to cross contaminate anyhow, but they aren't staffed for the load on top of vets, who are predominantly older anyhow. I spent six days in a VA inpatient recently, that populace is old. Only a handful of younger folks and I'm 37, most everyone else was 60+ and on oxygen or had some variety of heart or lung problem to go with it. It's going to be overrun with boomer vets in the next few weeks.

Gov of CA suggested that schools might not convene in person again this school year. Y’all think the first few days have been crazy. This could be four whole months. Plus mandatory summer school (from home) to catch up when they realize we didn’t get enough learning in from home.

My recent stay, it was me and one other guy in his thirties in my ward. Take us out, the average age was probably 65. I didn't go visiting other wards, but I assume it was roughly the same. Just old dudes everywhere. Women had their own ward, no idea on the range in there. It's not a great place to be, but it was better than I expected. Food was garbage, showers were cold, but solid otherwise, considering how much money they spent on that hospital.

Seriouspost: Four year old with stay at home wife. They're pretty much self isolating at this point. The worst thing we're allowing to happen is riding his bike with a neighborhood kid. I've got parents who are quite healthy and 70. Should I allow them to see him in person? I'm 50/50 on it at this point. Compromise position is playing outside where Grandma and Grandma can talk about not spreading germs and doing their best to maintain distance. We're also thinking maybe just facetime for a couple of weeks.

Mind you you can't smoke or spit with a mask on so most old geezers are wearing a mask, but on their chin, like a crappy blue goatee. Are the factories starting to get going again? I guess it’d suck if they finally get everything back to normal only to find all the countries they used to sell cheap poo poo to are locked down and their economies are completely hosed.

China is the second most powerful nation, and chinese-americans are also very rich so it's weird that the socialists on this website are getting all weird and replying "gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you" like rich asian-americans are even close to suffering lynch mobs during this virus. Like if you think rich Asian-americans are even close to suffering a holocaust in Amercia you are literally insane, but the mods on this site support the insane fuckers.

My sister in law is for some god knows why reason choosing to have an elective surgery tomorrow. Beyond just taking an unnecessary risk with her own health, it means my 76 year old mom helping out with their 2 young kids. And then the plan is to have their kids go hang out with their cousins, who’s parents I do to trust not to allow their children to run around the neighborhood with every kid by them. It’d be really nice if my mom didn’t die cause of this poo poo.

We need to start throwing architects at this and designing plague proof schools. We can't sacrifice a generation to 18 hours a day of youtube. I was hoping my society-shutting-down daydreams would be more "Hope and Glory" and less... this. Like what would it take? Let's say nothing but concrete and stainless. 50 entrances. A cube per student with multiple 4k screens. Individual HVAC for each student. Everything purged with appropriate disinfectant any time a person passes through, like those urban self cleaning toilets. Each entrance fogged after each person enters/exits, which is why I specified a high #. Am I crazy? Realistic scenarios are talking 18 months of this and there is just no way society can do that. No way. The data shows isolation works, but there's got to be a way to design around it and keep going.

We're hosting a south korean air bnb for a month (indefinitely extended now) at our place. The girl turned 25 today and is terrified, having just learned that people got stabbed in her new land of choosing because of their origin... Even buddhist temples are getting targeted because of the "chinese virus". It's not the holocaust nor krystal nacht, but gently caress are we surrounded by loving morons. Happy birthday Jiwan.

My grandmother-in-law is trying to get back to Canada from Mexico, she had been there since November. Usually comes back in April, decided to reschedule her flight for March 27th when the virus showed up in North America. That flight has now been cancelled and there's no other flights to book. She's registered as a Canadian Abroad with the embassy so we hope she gets included in the round of emergency flights bringing Canadians home happening this upcoming week.
