Blacknose posted:It's a genuinely unusual sensation isn't it. I’ve certainly never known anything like it. It really feels nothing like a cold or flu. Undead Hippo posted:Schools are now being used only for the children of key workers, such as those responsible for medically treating the virus and with the highest infection risk. Thus ensuring that when the children of those key workers are infected they have maximum mixing with the children of other keyworkers. And so we maximally ensure the complete infection of all key workers in as short a timeframe as possible. poo poo you’re right, this is it. This is Epic Herd Immunity.

Don't worry, they're giving powers to police and immigration officers to detain people suspected of carrying the virus and "to take them to a suitable place to enable screening and assessment" for an indefinite period.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Who's got FT access? I want to see what's behind this headline: "US drugmaker doubled price on potential coronavirus treatment" The only US drugmaker that makes a potential treatment for the coronavirus that was touted by President Donald Trump raised the price by almost 100 per cent in January, as the virus caused havoc across China. Rising Pharmaceuticals, a New Jersey based company, increased the price of chloroquine — an antimalarial, which is one of the drugs that is being tested against Covid-19 — on January 23, according to data from research firm Elsevier. The drug price rose 97.86 per cent to $7.66 per 250mg pill and $19.88 per 500mg pill. But Rising said the price rise was “coincidental” and it restored the old price once it realised that the drug might be in demand because of the outbreak. The reversal of the price lift has not yet shown through in the data. In an interview with the Financial Times, one executive said that the company had originally increased the price because it wanted to be able to invest in new manufacturing facilities to keep the drug on the market. “As soon as we saw the increase in demand and the potential that this was going to be utilised in the way some folks are projecting it to be, we rescinded that price increase to the same price it has been on the market for since 2015,” he said. Mr Trump said on Thursday that the Food and Drug Administration had approved chloroquine for the treatment of Covid-19 — but the FDA commissioner contradicted him, saying the regulator was simply taking a closer look at the drug. The drug is already approved for treating malaria. There is no solid evidence that chloroquine improves the condition of coronavirus patients. But there are several trials under way and the drug is being used on a “compassionate use” basis in some countries. Small studies have shown positive outcomes, including one in France released on Wednesday that chloroquine had accelerated recoveries and reduced how long patients were contagious. The medicine can have serious side effects, however, including acute poisoning and even death if a patient overdoses. Michael Rea, chief executive of RxSavings Solutions, which provides software for employers to lower their drug bills, said: “Hiking drug prices at such a pivotal time in world history will not play well in the market for any companies partaking in that activity long term.” In December 2019, Rising Pharmaceuticals admitted price fixing in a case in Pennsylvania and agreed to pay $3m in fines and restitution. The company did not respond to a request for comment about that case. The executive speaking on behalf of the company said it is not promoting the drug as a treatment for coronavirus. But Rising received five times as many orders as usual in the last week and it is ramping up production in India to meet demand, purchasing “extraordinary amounts” of more active ingredients, bottles and labels. “We have no real knowledge of where this is going to end but we are actively keeping up with demand,” he said.

My local supermarket is now nearly cleared out of fresh produce, which is a bit of a worry. Luckily they still had plenty of cabbages, which is what I'd come in for - most people hate cabbage, even in a crisis!

Pablo Bluth posted:Coronavirus is the perfect cover for Brexit going to poo poo. Gammon won't allow themselves to remember that he could of delayed and all problems will be rationalised as 100% coronavirus problems. I mean from the amount that Gammons appear to be the only people out at the moment, I think it might be surprising if there are any left. The government needs to take stronger action, I know that the museums are keeping themselves closed and we are all still getting paid at least, but close the pubs and just let "the market" take the loving hit for another few months as opposed to straight up murdering everyone over your own imbecility.

knox_harrington posted:Finding it quite hard to escape from thinking and reading about coronavirus. Work is maybe 50% working out how and whether to continue treating patients for their cancer during the outbreak, 50% normal science work on writing protocols for the next treatments. My amount of work has increased quite a lot and I don't have time for exercise at the moment. Get off the internet for a day or two, in your free time anyway. Specifically avoid twitter, news sites, SA, FB (lol), and any other crack that lets the outside world in. Watch films or tv or play vidja games or get high and/or drunk and listen to music. It sounds cold hearted but sometimes you have to flat out ignore what's going on outside your own four walls for your own sanity.
