What's the Ethically Correct way to buy books at the moment? I don't really want to support a system that forces warehouse workers, delivery drivers etc to put themselves in danger by carrying on working, but I kinda need to pick some things up for my own work (and also I'm going to be bored as gently caress in my spare time. Look up my local independent bookstore and see if they're doing postal deliveries? Again, I'm torn between wanting to support them and forcing them to work unnecessarily. Stick to e-books for a while?

So would the damage caused to mucous membranes by cocaine use make someone more vulnerable to COVID infection? Asking for a bunch of friends in isolation in SW1A.

Freebase use, like anything that fucks with the cilia in your lungs, vastly increases your likelihood of being hosed once you've got it though, and sharing pipes, banknotes, or anything else increases the risk of transmission.

So apparently if you're put on furlough and take another job, you can still get the furlough money aswell? My wife works for a Sushi Daily franchisee who have closed up temporarily - because head office hasn't said all counters are forced to close, they're not sure if she can get the furlough money, but if she is eligible they'll make sure she gets it. There's a fruit farm nearby looking for seasonal workers to pick strawberries, and she wants to apply. From reading this article: https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/can-you-take-another-job-21759841 as long as her boss is cool with it, there would be nothing preventing her from getting her 80% furlough pay and also working at the farm?

Rachel Reeves' Wikipedia page posted:The Independent named Reeves as a member of a group of new Labour MPs known as the "Nando's Five":[33] the others being Luciana Berger, Jonathan Reynolds, Emma Reynolds and Chuka Umunna.  also, the source for that is this classic article 'Don't compare me to Obama': Is Chuka Umunna Britain's first black PM? He's a hero in his Streatham constituency and (to his horror) has already been dubbed 'Britain's Obama'. Can Chuka Umunna really live up to the hype? He tells Tim Walker about growing up in Brixton and why he thinks Tony Blair was '85 per cent right' I wonder what sort of oval office would refer to him

There's a lot of people who aren't used to cooking a lot of meals being faced with not picking up lunch at the office etc. On top of this, everyone knows how to cook pasta, and it's easy to store. That's the angle I'm working with anyway.

That's the angle I'm working with anyway. Also purely at a guess I'd say as it has a long shelf life and normally turns over slowly it normally has a fairly low production level which can't keep up with current demand, which just reinforces the feedback loop of panic buying. It's noticeable that almost all fresh items are in stock almost everywhere now, but bog roll, pasta and rice are still hard to get hold of.

That's the angle I'm working with anyway. It's the go-to long-life staple carb for middle class white people (along with flour which is why that keeps disappearing, though people tend to forget to also get yeast). Personally, I've got rice and beans for days. Also pasta, from Turkey, from my local little ethnic supermarket.

If you end up in critical care its a coin toss, basically (and worse odds for olds). But critical care accounts for a fairly small portion of hospital admissions. Most manage with simple oxygen.

It smells to me like another facet of the "It's just the flu" just-so story. There's also some evidence that the viability of the coronavirus responsible for SARS decreases rapidly at high temperatures. quote:The dried virus on smooth surfaces retained its viability for over 5 days at temperatures of 22–25°C and relative humidity of 40–50%, that is, typical air-conditioned environments. However, virus viability was rapidly lost (>3 log10) at higher temperatures and higher relative humidity (e.g., 38°C, and relative humidity of >95%). The better stability of SARS coronavirus at low temperature and low humidity environment may facilitate its transmission in community in subtropical area (such as Hong Kong) during the spring and in air-conditioned environments. It may also explain why some Asian countries in tropical area (such as Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand) with high temperature and high relative humidity environment did not have major community outbreaks of SARS. If it's true about this one, that's good news for people in Africa, but less good for the UK.

There was a paper i saw going around trans circles on twitter that oestrogen levels seem to affect how severe your symptoms are also, although I don't know how rigorously that could've been tested for at this point? I'll see if I can dig it up.
