The comcast tech installing the new upstairs neighbors internet just asked me from the side of my porch if I had to listen to "their little nasty dogs bark all day" I just looked at him with a straight face and said I might need bail money soon. I thought he was going to piss himself because he laughed so much and it wasn't even that funny

Now he's talking to himself while hooking up some cables about how he hates little dogs around the corner and I'm pretty sure that the ladies upstairs hear him

I should ask him to bump up my internet speed

People with little dogs that bark all day are not doing any training and are probably keeping them crated all day, right?

I lived with someone in college that kept their dog caged all day, little fella yelped nonstop.

In hindsight I shouldn't have gotten pissed when he peed in my bed. Wasn't his fault.

I think he got hit by a car eventually.

Bad dog owners suck.

that IMHE model is currently predicting that the UK will have several thousand more deaths than the US. That doesn't seem right to me!

eta: with fewer total beds needed and fewer ICU beds needed

arent deaths caused by immune response in a lot of cases? doesn't that imply the formation of antibodies?

its the bodys over response to a massive infection it doesn’t have much to do with antibody formation

Ugh that's terrible. They're home all day but their dogs are just awful and they let them poo poo all over the grass next to my porch too. The ppl in my neighborhood are terrible dog owners that expect ppl to clean up after them. They've been here for under a week and I'm already trying to move. I honestly just hate dogs because I've yet to meet an owner who actually cares for the dog properly


No I take it back, cattle dogs on a farm. That's it

C-SPAM Times best-selling author
White and his colleagues at the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit wondered whether widely available drugs could help. They have designed a trial in which 40,000 doctors and nurses in Asia, Africa, and Europe will prophylactically receive chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, two old drugs against malaria. White hopes the trial will start this month, but its launch has been “incredibly difficult because of bureaucratic processes,” he says

I remember hearing that the antibodies in plasma from recovered patients worked well in China as a treatment back in January so I'm inclined to believe it probably does work.

I don't know how many people you can treat from one person's plasma donation though, so unless we can reprogram a bunch of e. coli to poo poo out antibodies en mass in the next couple of weeks it won't make much of a difference.

Seriously though. MAAD is actually a thing again. A lot of the last 50 years has been the US designing and deploying missile defense all over, and while the efficacy of such can and should be debated is seemingly negated now by Russia and China demonstrating hypersonic capable vehicles that can carry nuke warheads. This means that the ballistics c missile defense systems deployed literally all around the exterior of Russia and China don't mean Jack poo poo if your interceptors can't catch them. Lasers and rail guns are indeed a thing but don't really tip the scales in terms of nuclear deterrence...but hypersonic icbms sure as gently caress do.

The US has yet to solve the problem of hypersonic heat shielding and China and Russia have demonstrated that they have in both atmospheric and orbital re-entry contexts.

you're giving me too much hope that Russia and China could destroy the US of AmeriKKKa

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.



Remember that developing countries have even less resources for mass testing than the US does so the undercount is super bad there. Ecuador's a yellow dot on here but a dude pointed out that Google searches for "I can't smell" in Ecuador have shot up more than any other country in the world and that this has had an extremely strong correlation with the prevalence of the virus.
