Lmao these people trying to bend over backwards to make excuses for Musk. That's ALSO not a ventilator. My dad died of pulmonary fibrosis so I know what a fuckin ventilator looks like.

"Non-invasive" right there on the text of the loving page. Why did the "NYCHealthSystem" Twitter promote this when they're loving CPAPs? Feel like I'm losing my mind.

government gotta fellate billionaires for pretending to care about the rest of us

that would seem ... illegal

our military is aligned around profit margins, not war fighting, ever since capital realized that losing wars slowly is a huge cash cow compared to trying to win them

He is saying that the basal level of certain cytokines is higher in the Indian population than other countries such as the US possibly because of mass BCG vaccination, and that BCG increases levels of type-1 interferons, which is a type of protein produced by the blood, and the basis of medicines prescribed for viral infections

he also says that mass vaccinations could begin "tomorrow" in India because it is already approved

The current measures are absolutely better than nothing. My prediction is 0.5-4 million deaths. I think 0.5m is achievable if we get 2/3 of:
1) enforced lockdown in all metro areas
2) an effective treatment/prophylaxis protocol cobbled together from widely available drugs
3) a functional system for contact tracing and proactive testing

My prediction was and still is 1-2m dead. If we have a competent leadership, probably 200k dead; but with the current timeline, 1 million minimal.

just wait till trump finds out that it's the fastest possible vaccine that can be distributed because it can skip to phase III trials immediately

edit: it can even skip those, they could just start jabbing people next week if they wanted to, it just needs to be approved for broader use than only TB high-risk groups

the main hurdle is that it isn't especially profitable

i was under the impression that it had to be administered when you were young to have the beneficial effect on your immune system

i guess that doesnt mean we wont try it, but it's not likely to have much positive effect in adults, right?
