Regarding the loss of smell/taste: The news here (Space Coast, Florida) has been making a big fuss about a local 28-year-old, seemingly healthy guy with pneumonia and suspected Covid. They mentioned that one of his symptoms was losing his sense of smell and taste. https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2020/03/21/melbourne-pro-football-player-28-pneumonia-awaits-covid-19-test-results/2890834001/

My "some businesses don't get it" story: I got laid off at the end of December. Last Wednesday, I was offered a job. It's kind of a poo poo job comparatively - just a three month contract, about 40% of my previous salary. I stated filling out the paperwork and I found out that a drug screen was going to be part of the background check. I called my recruiter and basically said, "uh, I've been isolated for a week now and I don't want to go out unless it's absolutely necessary. Any chance they could waive it? There's a pandemic.". Friday afternoon, they passed this response along: quote:Unfortunately, there isn’t anything we can do to waive this requirement, as this is standard. I am not sure what lab you guys use, but both LabCorp and Quest have put out responses to COVID stating that they will not be taking COVID sample or doing testing. No, you fuckers, my home is the safest place I can be! And I know they're not collecting roni tests there, but I also know that some idiot with symptoms doesn't know that and will just show up. I know I'm in an extremely privileged position, getting a job offer while so many are getting laid off, but it sucks. When I first agreed to interview for the position two weeks ago, I thought, "eh, it's not great, but it's something to do while I continue looking". But as we've watched the economy crumble since then, I've worried that I have to take this because maybe my other prospects are about to disappear. But if I have to get sick to get the job, well it's a contract, so no sick pay and all I've got to show for it is the roni. As it stands, I'm going to slow walk it as I have until Wednesday. I live in PA, and they're considering a stay at home order to match every other state around us so maybe that will save me. On a related note, I work in the pharmaceutical industry with clinical drug trials. I'm going to try and put together an effort post tomorrow about my experience working on several vaccine studies.

Even in Italy, the recovery rate among those admitted to the ICU is 70% iirc. But they are so overwhelmed that many cases have to be turned away, or never even moved from home. Younger and/or healthier patients take priority.

I suffer from hyposmia at the best of times, and get fairly ansomic sometimes. As far as I can tell my damaged sense of smell is still about where it usually is, but it gives me one more thing to be a hypochondriac about.

New Zealand's going total lockdown on Wednesday (level 4 - we will be level 3 to transition for 48 hours) for at least a month I think the Prime Minister said. Still got supermarkets, petrol, pharmacy and medical. The right call I think, we're still querying two community transmission cases and attempting to keep it low.

I know this is a Wendy's drive thru, but I just have to rant for a bit. The real human costs of this are going to reverberate for decades in ways we can't even imagine. How many high school seniors that cant participate in track and field, or baseball, or any other spring sport, won't get a scholarship because no coaches could come see them compete? For how many of them was that the only chance they would ever have to go to college? How many of them with a 4.0 but no SAT/ACT score, don't get to go to the school with the best program they're interested and talented in, because admissions can't take a chance on a student without a test score next to their name? How many children being cared for by grandparents will lose them and be funneled into the foster care system? What will their outcomes be? How many people in a trade school to be a plumber, an electrician, or work in HVAC, won't be able to continue their education or apprenticeships and what happens when there's a shortage of these workers? What will the emotional toll be? On people who can't visit their elderly parents, grandparents or great grandparents? Who can't give them a kiss on the forehead and tell them "I love you" one more time. What about the people who have to decide which "ten or fewer people" can attend the ceremony for the deceased? What about those parents, grandparents and great grandparents who can't ever physically see or hold their great great grandchild? This poo poo is going to be with us for a long, long time. And I don't really feel like I, or anyone else knows how it will manifest even after the virus is contained or eradicated.

I’d really like to know if more “normal” summer ambient temperatures could have an effect on suppressing it. Something I read that was counterintuitive for me was that humidity helps reduce the aerosolibilty (its a word now) compared to lack of humidity. I would have thought drying out=good but instead it means the water evaporates and the virus can float free in the air longer. I need to stop reading, yea

Zugzwang posted:It’s common for heat to inactivate biological things and cold (not freezing) to preserve them. Proteins tend to misfold above a certain temperature (varies by protein) and then are permanently hosed. This includes, say, the proteins that a virus uses to infect you or protect its genome. I absolutely understand that. I think what a lot of people want to know is if the virus will be affected by summer weather, as Cheeto suggested. ^^^ it makes sense if you view it as the air is saturated with moisture so there’s less “room” for viral particles to float around. I’m not sure where we currently stand regarding knowledge of the virus’s aerosolibility though Hazo fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Mar 23, 2020 |

WaffleZombie posted:My "some businesses don't get it" story: Are you isolated for a specific reason or are you just practicing social distancing in general, to avoid getting sick and to prevent others from getting sick because you're a good person? If the former, explain that reasoning. If the latter, just go; it sucks that they're making you do this superfluous thing but in the grand scheme of things you're doing a somewhat-important thing in a very low-risk way if you're diligent about sanitation and basically just going there and back. That business is definitely in the wrong here but you can't ever expect corporate stooges to do the right thing. Hazo posted:Reminder that this is pure speculation. Orange dipshit baselessly vomited it out early on and I’m pretty sure everyone since then who says they’ve “heard that” are referring to him. The Orange dipshit was talking about summer vs winter outdoor temperatures. That's a pretty different temperature range from what's being asked about here: putting PPE in a freezer vs lightly baking them in an oven for disinfection and reuse This coronavirus has been noted to survive well in freezing temperatures and does not stand normal cooking temperatures, e.g. if you're killing normal food pathogens then you're also killing the coronavirus. So between the two, freezing vs baking, freezing won't work at all and baking could work, but you may damage the PPE in the process. This is independent of whether or not it will go away on its own in the summer (that's speculative, it almost definitely won't but transmission rates may be measurably reduced)

Soysaucebeast posted:Well, I finally saw a co-worker (we work solo on the weekends and I was off Thurs/Fri/Sat) who explained why we can't work from home when literally every other person in the office is. I work as a dispatcher, and the IT guys can't figure out a way to get our inbound calls to forward to our laptops at home. They thought they had it figured out, but since we share desks (WHY), they can't find a way to get the hard phones to forward from one employee to another without someone logging those employees in/out on the physical phone. So now they're just going to have us spread out a little more and try not to cross-contaminate at shift change. I have three people in my department over the age of 55, two with children at home, and an elderly smoker who already had to have surgery last fall for smoking related reasons. Late to this, but I am in the exact same position you are (dispatch/IT is a gently caress). We're still all sharing offices/desks because our IT wants to scream their uselessness from the rooftops, re: can't be arsed to set up new offices, even if there are more than a few that are available. That means setting up more Cisco phones and that takes time and effort! We're in a high-traffic corridor as well, lol, even for the remaining employees, of which there are enough to make anyone legitimately worried. Except we have TWO elderly smokers, one of whom had a heart attack semi-recently.
