Subvisual Haze posted:One of the awful but not quite dead effects of this is pulmonary fibrosis, when your body's immune system fucks up so bad that it replaces extremely specialized pulmonary tissue with simple scar tissue. Imagine replacing part of your car's engine with drywall and you get an idea of how useful scar tissue is to lung functionality. We can't reverse pulmonary fibrosis. There are some incredibly overpriced drugs that might slow its progression a little bit. About the only real thing we can offer to people with pulmonary fibrosis is to put them on the lung transplant waiting list. There weren't exactly an abundance of ready to transplant lungs before this pandemic, so I'm sure it'll be a great option afterwards.

Heath posted:Sincerely surprised no one has been hoarding cigarettes The smokers market is much smaller than it used to be, but there's bound to be someone trying to turn a few cartons into bucks. Until their craigslist ad for loosies drops across a fat, bored cops desk. Remember, you need a license to sell tobacco and of you're selling out of your garage you probably aren't IDing people or even remember that the legal age to buy/possess tobacco went up earlier this year. Remember when all the vape people got mad at turmp? Good times, goooood times. Feels like a million years ago.

Zugzwang posted:Do we have any idea how frequently this thing causes extensive pulmonary fibrosis? I'm not terribly worried about dying from the virus (though I'm not NOT worried), but this sounds like winding up disabled for life. Not super-appealing either. I just read an article saying about 6% of the infected get severe pneumonia and that's when you would possibly have permanent damage or death.

Nah, it's that tone of voice he goes to when he's fantasizing out loud about how everything's gonna be fine. One week from now is when you want to pay attention to his voice, when he can't manage to ignore the covid numbers vs. Down Jones numbers anymore.

The Scientist posted:Can you get cornea virus from eating a miniature m&m that was dropped on the floor? If the floor was contaminated, which could have been from your shoes or feet. If you haven't left the house in 3 days and no one has come in it's probably safe. Really if it's your place you should probably know if you trust eating off your floor.

So are y'all disinfecting takeout food/groceries like me or am I the furthest along on the paranoia spectrum? (I do let nonperishable groceries sit in bags in the corner for 4+ days and assume they're fine at least.) Also, re: glove chat earlier, I got takeout tonight and had to show my phone to the cashier so he could find my order number. He touched my screen with his gloved hand that he was using to touch everything else.

So, if Trumpland refuses to follows quarantining what are the odds that states like Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and other places with Trump-toadies in charge actually flounder and go under, while states that took action are able to recover? Some of this looks like idiots re-enacting the civil war in the dumbest and most suicidal way possible.

My idiot friend. We’re in a city that is under STAY AT HOME per the governor. No leaving home if it isn’t important, don’t leave the city if it’s not important. My buddy and 7 friends are renting a cabin out in a different county for the weekend because Airbnb rates are so low. One of them has specifically mentioned 2 coworkers testing positive. Man you are really being a dick here.
