some covid toes hypothesizing:

"Ted Lain, MD, board-certified dermatologist and chief medical officer at Sanova Dermatology agrees, adding that it may also be related to an immune-system reaction to the COVID-19 infection. “A particular immune system reaction...[that] may develop quickly in response to COVID-19 and cause these strange findings,” he explains.

Dr. Lain and Dr. Saedi add that the appearance of "COVID toes" mainly in children and young adults may signal that it's an immune response, too. "Children and young adults have stronger immune systems and they have a strong local response," says Dr. Saedi. Dr. Lain adds that "the scientific community hypothesizes that 'COVID toes' are possibly a sign of a robust immune response, and also could be why younger people tend to have a more mild course of infection than adults."

after VC sucks up the remaining retail and smothers it within 2 years, just what the hell are we going to do with malls?

malls are hilariously ill-equipped to do anything but mass, national retail (with a smattering of local shops for ever revolving flair)

I guess just bulldoze and make way for more mid-rise stick apartments

I've been in investment briefings about this. A good mall can be repurposed (with renovation) to basically apartments plus shops and amenities. Lower grade malls will be absolutely dead after this, though.

yeah but its like 8% with the hospitals semi swamped
Yeah, the IFR people are quoting is under the assumption of being within the capacity for the healthcare system to deal with, as far as I can tell? With the assumption of 2 million dead based on around 80% infected implying a lockdown lasting into next year. It basically sounds like the least likely option, out of a hard lockdown that actually stops the infection from getting to anywhere near 80%, and the (far more likely) complete explosion in cases that has the virus exhaust its supply of new hosts by burning through American in a few months.

Systemic collapse seems like a grey area, no?

26 million officially out of work and climbing. The EPA isn't enforcing pollution standards. The FDA isn't testing our food. OSHA isn't enforcing workplace safety. The Supreme Court's Wisconsin election decision has ominous implications for the 2020 election. Kushner's FEMA has normalized corruption and disaster profiteering (yes I know these were already happening, but its at another level now). Abortion is banned across red states. Sheriffs in Texas, Washington, and Michigan are refusing to enforce the decisions of judges and governors alike.

How much of this will we ever get back? I don't mean to be doomy but it seems like "America" as a system IS actively collapsing.

lol during his press conference yesterday jay inslee basically said "I think those sheriffs will see reason" and threatened to prosecute them if they continue on their current path

yah I have zero belief in that being accurate

if anything they’d be counted dead maybe after getting trucked over to another county or something maybe because the villages seems like a weird semi isolated enclave in a podunk county

Nicotine patches aren’t gonna be tolerated by almost 100% of people for Covid treatment. You have to wear the nicotine patch at night and 99% of people that do that have nightmares.

There are 16 hour patches which aren't worn at night, but pharmaceutical companies will be looking to dev a new patch for covid-19 so they can take advantage of the exclusive patent period.

That's not exactly true, though depends on how you define good. Absolute overwhelming majority of malls are complete useless trash not even fit for habitation. many have tried to convert malls into apartments/shops and it's been a huge money sink and a disaster. they basically just have to be torn the gently caress down entirely. there are some "outdoor malls" or some older pre-car-culture euro/american mall-esque places which can be good for mixed units, but such a minute amount compared to the all encompassing garbage that is america

That was from the French nicotine study. One of the authors is a renowned neuroscientist who became famous by mapping out various chemical pathways in the nervous system and how chemicals related to nicotine affect them. In the argument where they explain how nicotine is potentially affecting the body in COVID-19 they cited a bunch of previous research that he and his team had worked on in the past mapping out these pathways. For some reason a lot of the research was done on cells from animals which had unique properties, such as deadly snakes and electric eels, so that article contains sentences like: “Structural studies further revealed that a short region in the ectodomain of the rabies virus glycoprotein shows sequence similarity to some snake toxins [20, 22] that were initially used to isolate the nAChR from fish electric organs [23])”

Gonna need a bunch of electric eels too. Got it.

yah. one of the malls near us growing up was a triple floor much more like indoor compact old street market feeling walkable space that I think is like what you’re referring to as the latter. it went bust as a mall and got taken over partly by the community college and then there were other generic but filled office spaces and overall lived on

until the developer forced everyone out eventually so they could demolish it and had it sit as unused land for like a decade before they built a high end city center destination type place


i miss that mall even as a dumb child I appreciated it’s bones. the other mall was a one story huge massive sprawling complex type mess. garbo.

If it makes you feel better, this was also the result of doubled daily test returns today. MA has been averaging 6-7k tests reported daily; today's numbers are the result of 14.6k tests.

We're still at like 23% positive test rates though, it's still not nearly enough

Yeah the schools closed first, then all non-essential businesses like a week later.

Total case growth looks mostly linear over the past two weeks (likely due to stagnating testing numbers), but deaths are still exponentially increasing.
