I'm on this weird oscillation between "poo poo will the store have eggs" and "poo poo I need to eat this whole tray of bbq pork shoulder", because my family has no concept of leftovers. I'm the only one who will eat food that's over 6 hours old, I swear.

Well don't worry about that much longer. One of the largest meat providers in the US is shutting down production lines and warning of nationwide meat shortages.

quote:

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smithfield Foods, the world’s biggest pork processor, said on Sunday it will shut a U.S. plant indefinitely due to a rash of coronavirus cases among employees and warned the country was moving “perilously close to the edge” in supplies for grocers.

lol

quote:

...Other major US meat and poultry processors, including Tyson Foods Inc., Cargill Inc. and JBS USA, have already idled plants in other states.

lol lol!

This is late, but fair warning to anyone that gets recommended CBD supplements: it's real enough that it can mess w/ other medications. People taking ADD drugs especially said there were range of responses, from meds not working at all, to XR dumping into their system all at once, to totally normal.

Has to do with the gut receptors CBD binds to. A lot of other meds do, but CBD seems to (seems to) like hogging it in a way that makes it more or a dice roll than you might otherwise think.

Just have a look into it. You could be fine. You might not. Discuss w/ doctor where able, etc.

HUGE WARNING ^^ STATINS IS ONE

if you are taking statins DO NOT DO CBD I personally had a horrific 6 months from statin induced arthralgia that came out of nowhere. I was not using CBD but have read about how it binds to something in the liver that makes statins build up which means you can get what I had which was awful..(I know like friggin everything about statins now.)

What? No. There's multiple strains of this so it's entirely possible certain groups of people who have convalescent plasma for one strain won't adapt as well to another and get sick again but that doesn't at all mean they will get *as* sick and wouldn't make something like a vaccine completely out of the question. I hate to use flu as a comparison becuase this isn't like the flu and anyone being like "iT's JuSt A fLu," is a loving idiot but you're never immune to all flus just because you've had one strain, and you don't retain immunity to strains you've had long-term either. It just means that any vaccine or treatment we develop will likely need to be annualized and not a one-and-done.

That article said that some people develop no antibodies, while others develop very high levels of antibodies. It's not unheard of for some people to not develop antibodies in response to a given infection or a vaccine. Additionally, it just says "we don't have evidence that people with high antibody levels don't get reinfected," not "we have evidence that people with high antibody levels do get reinfected." The only way we'll have evidence either way is for people with known high antibody levels to get confirmed infections or not. That'll take a while.

It's incredibly frustrating how nobody seems willing to learn from the mistakes of others here. Can they not think more than a loving week in advance? They're like children going "But I want to reopen NOWWWWWWW", nevermind that doing so will just waste everything we've done up to this point.

The majority of people get a mild form of the disease. There's no evidence that people who've had it before become more ill during subsequent infections.

Right now we don't have the data to draw sound conclusions, but it's possible that this will become an endemic virus which many people experience a couple of times a year, as happens with the common cold.

This. Lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, beans, etc. have all been sold out everywhere for going on six weeks now around me and drat near everywhere online. "People should eat less meat anyway" is really loving stupid when non-meat protein is completely unavailable because as it ends up, you loving die with no protein/amino acids at all.

The dunkin donuts near my work is pretty much the only thing open in the neighborhood, they stopped taking cash and have a big sign saying so, they have tables in front of the register to block it, with a credit card machine on a table. Pretty loving simple. Dude still waltzes in, orders a coffee, then leans over the table as far as he can trying to shove a fiver at the worker. When told they don't take cash right now he bitched loudly then continued muttering while inserting his card and waiting for his coffee. Some people just don't loving get it.

I mean honestly I like to think that enough epidemiologists and other actual scientists would be on the news 24/7 telling people this is a horrible idea, so enough companies would be hesitant to reopen because of optics or liability regardless of what Orange Daddy says.

Would still suck for small businesses owned by the chuddiest of chuds who believe everything he says but I think/hope the pushback would be significant. I mean it’s not like he can force Disney World or Chili’s to reopen or anything (yet).

It's looking like the case fatality rate for this thing is at least several percent. Yes, half or so of cases are asymptomatic, but also a great deal of people are dying at home and not getting counted, so the exact numbers are tough to pin down.

But, let's assume 1% CFR overall. That's 1 million deaths per 100 million people. If half of America gets infected and that CFR remains steady, we're looking at about 1.6 million deaths in America alone. If everyone catches it, 3.2 million.

If the CFR is 2% instead of 1%, double that. If it's 3% instead of 1%, triple it.
