One of my coworkers died of COVID19 complications yesterday, age 33. We have another EMT on a ventilator, he’s 25 years old.

Now that I’ve got the vodka in me all I wanna do is make noise so here we are. I’ve been off for a few days but going back to work tomorrow night and EVERYTHING IS FINE :tif:

My special request post mortem is for people to blow some poo poo up and build a guillotine tia.

This Week in Virology said serology tests with ~10-15 minute turnaround time are coming available in hospitals.

Being able to identify the already and infected and thus presumptively immune population, and clearing them to be back out in the world, could be an on-ramp into getting out of shelter in place. Small hopeful sign.

TWiV is a great resource for anyone who enjoys podcasts. Very low production value, just some dorkass virology professors talking to each other.

More publications have written about BCG lately but it’s mostly just very repetitive. Here’s Forbes:

https://twitter.com/zimleague/status/1245213748798816256?s=20

Japan in particular seems very excited about the idea, there has been lots of discussion online over the past week or so:

https://twitter.com/sohnandae/status/1245261326202449921?s=20

It seems that the Russian media has found it interesting too:

https://twitter.com/tass_agency/status/1244656040395841538?s=20

And there have also been lots of articles in Indian newspapers. All 3 of these countries have longstanding BCG programs with high vaccination rates and (so far) low death rates. It’s not surprising that they are most excited about this idea in those countries, because everyone likes reading that they might already be immune to the deadly pandemic.

https://twitter.com/Metaphysicully/status/1245188207555346433?s=20

While most of the information in these articles is the same stuff over and over again, this last one had some info about the history of Indian BCG immunization, as well as an announcement that there should be some more interesting research coming out soon:

“The BCG vaccine is an immunomodulator that boosts immune response to offer broad protection to respiratory infections. Even more protective is a vaccine from Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP), which has been isolated and sequenced in India National Institute of Immunology. It’s approved for use against leprosy and septicaemia, and PGI Chandigarh recently evaluated its translational application as an immunotherapeutic against severe acute respiratory syndrome (a coronavirus like Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19). The results have been sent for publication,” said Dr NK Ganguly, former director general, Indian Council of Medical Research.

Guess she has to go into the office tomorrow where I'm terrified for her, since they don't have enough laptops for critical staff to borrow.

“In 1977, John Robinette, acting mayor of Vulcan, requested foreign aid from the Soviet Union and East Germany to replace the town's bridge after unsuccessful efforts to get the state to replace it. The bridge was the sole route to legally enter and exit the town, and it had collapsed two years previously.[3][4] Russian journalist Iona Andronov visited Vulcan on December 17, 1977, to meet with Robinette and survey the problem. Within an hour of his visit, reporters were told that the state would replace the bridge. The West Virginia Legislature provided $1.3 million in funding to replace the bridge.[5][6]”

if it's not completely dead yet you can use hwmonitor to check its temps while you do something like lift it up from the desk so the bottom can breathe and point a fan or A/C at its exhaust

You can also stick it in the fridge every once in a while. An old roommate of mine used to put his books in the freezer before reading them because he liked "the feeling of a nice cold book on a summer day." It would stay cool for quite a while. The principle is the same.

There are probably some useful tips to be found about this online, hot laptops are a common problem

yah that seems wack for fans to break so quickly so like gradenko said maybe something like hwinfo or whatever's hip nowadays might help to see what's up.

I'm so outta touch with computer touching and dont know what to recommended but whatever free thinger thats around nowadays that could force the clocks to stay low and not boost might help depending on the cpu

give it more chance to stay inside a temp envelope where unintended passive cooling doesn't annihilate things
