I got too old and curmudgeonly to do the leg work necessary to find a new weed guy after all my college friends moved away or moved on. The last time i bought weed it was from a stranger a friend knew who had me meet him in the parking lot of an apartment complex, then he got the weed from someone in a van and then got it to me and i was just like "this is bullshit."

Even if your state isnt legal do you not live nearby one that is? These places will certainly have online ordering and deliver to a place of your choice (aka random parking lot)

But thats a two edged sword because you can over-buy; storage solutions are my big concern atm. I would give handouts but neighbors are lame and dont want the 'bath-robe-guy' getting their kids high. Well excuse me sister.

Yeah you have to try to infect cultured cells or measure the number of cells killed by a given dose of virus to see if the virions (viral particles) are actually viable.

Is there a test that can confirm you caught the virus, then recovered? Back in late January after flying between Seattle and Cleveland I came down with symptoms lining up with the "moderate" coronavirus response (everything short of "needs additional oxygen", basically.) Being uninsured, I just rode it out at home.

But if recovering gives you immunity superpower I'd like to find out for sure and use that to help others somehow.

I think that RNA blood test shows that it’s not wide spread though.

Once serology (antibody) tests are approved, yes. Don’t think any of those tests are approved yet.

Keeping them open is going to save lives, since bootleggers and dealers would pop up immediately (in the Netherlands illegal weed dealers popped up the minute dispenseries were closed. Now they're open again)

Go to a hospital and make out with a corona patient. If you don't get sick a couple weeks later than you know you've already had it and are immune!

just a reminder that in the us we cannot afford ambulance rides because even with insurance it’s $3,000 out of pocket (or so). and we can’t go to the ER until we are practically dead because otherwise we don’t get tested, also, we can’t afford to go twice.

Seconded.

RNA also is also not very stable so finding Covid RNA is suggestive that one of the investigators collecting samples was shedding virus at the time.

Yeah this is also my life. Everyone at work thinks it a joke. I got made fun of for wearing nitrile gloves on friday. I'd wear a mask but I can't even find one. I work with a bunch of doofy blue collar dudes and the poo poo I have seen and heard in the wake of this...We are all catching this. And some of these motherfuckers are old. The utter disregard for every guideline that has been set up is astounding, both on a company and worker level.

They actually made it so we have to be around each other in close quarters more than we normally would in an attempt to justify keeping us full time while most of the company is having their hours cut.
