I can't remember) a bat dies of some disease in China and falls in a pig pen where a pig eats it. The pig is then slaughtered and people eat the infected meat and it goes from there. I'm not sure we know in real life yet do we?

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Someone more knowledgeable than me on inter-species disease transmission? Nah there are lots of viruses that merrily infect two completely unrelated species and nothing else, and the vast majority infect only one because inter-species transmission is reliant on very specific proteins on cells and positions of bits of DNA/RNA being the same between species, which is purely coincidental, or the virus just happening to have the right keys to unlock the cells of two unrelated species, which is even less likely. Things like rabies, which can infect just about any mammal, are very much the exception. By an incredibly weird coincidence I'm listening to a podcast as I type this which says there is exactly one reported case of a dog being infected with it, but it's a 17-year-old Pomeranian and frankly I feel like a 17-year-old Pomeranian is more likely to have been actually crushed to death by a single virus particle than to have been infected with it. e2a: Just to clarify, COVID and other stuff like Swine Flu doesn't actually infect the original species at all - instead what happens is you have a random mutation of an existing disease in the original species which allows it to infect another species *but prevents it from replicating in the host*. This happens constantly with viruses (which mutate constantly) and normally they just die off without ever infecting anyone. Get enough infected creatures together and they might between them produce enough viruses to infect a human, which is why they tend to start in species that are battery-farmed as you have both the critical mass of animals and close proximity to humans. IIRC Avian Flu *could* infect both birds and humans (as well as other primates) which was one of the reasons it was so dangerous. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Mar 26, 2020 |

mrpwase posted:(heh) You know the term "sharashka"? It's slang for a suspicious, hastily-thrown-together meal. The word became associated with a type of forced labor canteen in the Soviet Gulag system. OKB scientists and engineers who'd been convicted of crimes were sent to cook sharashkas on forced kitchen shifts. The sharashka cooks were supervised by Lavrenty Beria of the NKVD - the secret police - under the official name "4th Culinary Department". So anyway, at some point the chefs started calling this certain recipe "Sharashka." This was after the war in Afghanistan broke out. It ended up being pretty well-known among the Afghan guerrillas. Some of them would have eaten on the battlefield. And that's how it got the second half of the name. "Shashka" - it's a sword, a type of sabre from the Caucasus. Russian Dragoons and Cossacks carried them into battle. Now, the Russian Empire had a general by the name of Fyodor Arturovich Keller. His bravery earned him the nickname "Russia's Greatest Shashka." Someone must have known about that... Because somewhere along the line, shashka got stuck on the end of sharashka. The guerrillas were using the name amongst themselves, and by the time I got to cooking it, the pronunciation had wound up as "Shalashaska."  It's freakin awesome when a goon on some forrin forum gives an etymological lesson gratis for a word that as a kid you heard your parents utter (Sharashkina Kontora) and you wondered who/what the heck is Sharash. bornbytheriver fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Mar 26, 2020 |

oh but seriously I posted:That looks well nice. Are eggs getable again yet? I got eggs at my London High St Sainsburys this lunchtime, 6 packs only tho. The frozen vegetarian section was a wasteland, literally just 3 bags of Quorn sausages (now mine) plus some own brand soya burgers. I'd feel guilty for nabbing them but I'm mostly living off lentils and Holland and Barret dried soya so I at least want an occasional food with a... shape? No bog roll either. White people dried/tinned pulses were low but the KTC stuff was well in. Bread was OK, fresh veg was OK. I need to go back in time to when my dad bought his first modem and tell early-teen me about all the exciting and subversive information they'll be disseminating over the internet in ~30 years time.

Just say to her it's a zoonotic disease like ebola or rabies or bird flu or swine flu or lyme disease or lycanthropy. I doubt its from eating a bat as I'm not sure how they could track it to a single bat that was already eaten. People all around the world eat wild fish, animals etc. and that's more or less fine, whilst in this country we've had mad cow and foot and mouth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QobuvWX_Grc I always think of this when I think about mad cow disease.

I can only assume people are taking it because it’s all got best before dates as opposed to use by so you can keep it in a cupboard until you want to use it. Is your friend still able to find oats? The recipe for oat milk is as follows: 1. Blend oats with water in 1:4 ratio. 2. Strain through cloth. 3. Oat milk.

It's a low demand, low rotation product that suddenly has had its customer base buy 3-4 weeks worth, it's already being restocked near me. Dairy milk is replenished daily, soy milk will be on the weekly order or whatever Spar do. Hold out if you can or go to Lidl/Aldi, they'll have some... Or drain oats as above.

Danger - Octopus! posted:Weirdly in the Sainsbury near me, the non-dairy milks and UHT that sit on the normal unchilled aisle were all gone, but the non-dairy milks in the chillers near the dairy milk were fully stocked. That's probably because the dairy dropped the milk off recently while the UHT comes with the shelf stable pallets on the big lorry. And also they sell a lot less of it normally. Milk comes from the dairy in an arla truck, bread comes from the bakery in a bakery truck, everything else comes from the sainsbury's depot, in a sainsbury's truck.

Algol Star posted:I look forward to the reporting once the trials in China start coming back with preliminary results. The Center for Evidence Based Medicine presumably understands the distinction between ‘no evidence’ (his fingerprints weren’t on the knife) and ‘no evidence’ (we haven’t run a fingerprint test yet). And there is also that whole ‘first do no harm’ thing. Consequently, they are not recommending treating COVID with ibuprofen or paracetamol: https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/managing-fever-in-adults-with-possible-or-confirmed-covid-19-in-primary-care/ Maybe once the trials do come in people can start taking them again.
