Most smokers don't smoke in their sleep and they still get good protection from Rona during the day. So some smoking is better than no smoking at all. This has a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. France has moved mountains - Thank You!

weird, i dont understand how it would help in treatment since it's a vasoconstrictor and raises blood pressure/heart rate. does it somehow offset the inflammation caused by covid?

i wonder if its the stimulant effect, reduced blood flow or increased blood pressure that causes the nightmares?

the idea is twofold: first, it's a depressant of immune system response which can have an effect on how the whole thing works with your system going haywire. In addition, nicotine binds to very specific receptors and it's possible it preferentially binds to ACE2 and other receptors the virus uses. This means the virus has trouble getting to bind and reproduce itself, lessening the response and allowing the immune system more time to fight off the infection.

It's just a hypothesis.

Heard joke once: Woman goes to doctor. Says she's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says she feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. The Manager is responsible. Go and see him and complain. That should pick you up.' Woman bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am the Manager.'

nicotine patch dreams are not solely nightmares, they are just intensely vivid dreams. it’s a real good time, and it’s probably 100% more intense for someone who hasn’t had their brain fried by nicotine for a decade.

The GOP base is a death cult that thinks women shouldn't be in positions of authority so when a female candidate breaks through they have to be extra fanatical so they can get the votes of the people who want them to stay in the kitchen

Oh my God. I've had this exact thing for about a week now. Last week it was really bad, they burned like I had poison ivy, I couldn't wear socks, but it didn't look like anything other than frost-nip, which had not happened. There's still discoloration on them as I type but the pain has gone down. They have a dull itch occasionally now, but other than that, I thought it was clearing up.

Guess I should leave a message with my Doctor.

that’s a lot like 450+ Panamax loads at typical discharge draft limit restrictions in the Chinese ports. they don’t normally buy corn either. it means they can’t get all the soy they want. it’s going to take them at least six months to get I’d bet.

I peeked at the residency group chat 15 minutes ago, read how the program director's Zoom presentation today was on "COVID toes and conjunctivitis" and just assumed it was a typo.

There's going to be a semester long class on COVID alone in medical schools after this is done.

Nashville announces phased reopening
Officials released a four-part reopening plan for Nashville Thursday, that would require 14-days of decline or flat cases of COVID-19 before moving forward with each phase.

Phase one would begin with commercial and retail businesses, including restaurants. Facilities will have to:

Operate at half capacity.
Screen daily all employees.
Clean facilities and set explicit guidelines to maintain hygiene and wearing of face coverings for employees and patrons.
Bar areas to remain closed, as well as live music.
Self-service and shared condiments are not allowed.

Phase two would bring back online, with the previous requirements still in place:
Some elective and scheduled medicalactivities.
Salons and tattoo businesses.
Small gatherings of 50 or fewer people.
Playgrounds and baseball courts will reopen.
Facilities including restaurants may increase to 3/4 capacity.

In phase three:
All elective outpatient and inpatient healthcare activities may proceed.
Restaurants and other commercial businesses may open at full capacity while maintaining physical distancing.
Bars areas at restaurants may open at half capacity and live music will be permitted.
All remaining bars, entertainment and cultural venues may open at half capacity, including museum, tours, attractions, and movie theaters.
Gyms and personal hygiene businesses may reopen.
Gatherings of 100 or fewer people will be allowed.
Non residential K-12 school will reopen.

In phase four:
Working from home will be optional and use of face coverings will be optional.
All bars and entertainment venues can open at full capacity.
Sports and live performance venues will reopen for greater than 100 people.

Mayor John Cooper said officials will constantly be determining when it will be safe to reopen looking at key benchmarks: a decline in caes over a 14-day period, adequate testing and PPE capacity in the region, and a robust public health infrastructure to conduct contact tracing cases.

“Today's discussion is to get us ready for reopening when these four tests are met. That's why everyone must continue to remain at home whenever possible,” Cooper said. “

Reopening businesses that “pose very little risk” may be appropriate, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday.

Yesterday, Whitmer announced that she is evaluating the state’s stay-at-home order after receiving the latest data on coronavirus in Michigan.

She did not offer any details on which businesses could be reopened, but said she’s keeping certain questions in mind as she makes the assessment.
