Add Canada to the list. Though I just checked again and it looks like now the Chinese suppliers will replace the 1 million masks that failed the safety standards at no cost. Is this a first? https://globalnews.ca/news/6864209/china-to-replace-faulty-masks-swabs-canada-coronavirus-protective-equipment/

A big deal was being made about securing good supply lines in China while we spun up our own manufacturing but I guess our supposed pro-tier connection was decidedly less so. I bet we'd get some good masks if we released Meng

I'd say this is frankly amazing and a sign of pro-tier suppliers. Because another part of dealing with poo poo in China is generally if there's a problem, and you bring it up, you're the one causing problems by bringing it up. To have someone on this Chinese side admit fault and offer a solution at no cost feels like uncharted territory.

China is doing a massive amount of damage control, and they know that when people are done with this pandemic that they're going to turn their attention to China and start asking some difficult questions. They need to try and foster as much goodwill as possible while they can.

People are going to be so grateful to china after all this and now that the chinese media has educated people in how to think correctly about it, they will be more eager than ever before to do business with their good friend the People's Republic of China and to support its economy by purchasing as many of its exports as they can.

Not generally, always. I had a months long Taobao messenger and WeChat fight (one-sided, more of an attack) with a seller because she never sent me what I bought and I asked her to either send it or refund me. I never got it or a refund, to be clear here.

And since he hadn't suffered either of the first two, that narrowed it down somewhat.

That doesn't make sense, though, they could easily check for meth at the same time they were checking for troponins and give a definitive answer.

Ugly In The Morning posted:That doesn't make sense, though, they could easily check for meth at the same time they were checking for troponins and give a definitive answer. I am not a doctor, so I cannot comment. I just remember having to half carry him out of a club as the only sober person in our group, get him to the car to drive him to A&E, and check him in at the front desk while the other drunk friends held him over a toilet to vomit. We wait, doctor asks him if he is Mr [Name], to which he enthusiastically says "Nooooo!", so the doctor told him "Well I don't have to treat you then" and walks off. I apologise to the doctor, tell my friend to shut up, and the drunk friends to go out to the waiting room. I explain that he passed out in the club, bouncer said he must be on something because his eyes are like saucers, but that he had been drinking excessively (pre-game, pub crawl, and finally club), so it may just be booze. Nurse came in, drew blood, gave him a cardboard bowl to vomit into, which he promptly did. A while later, doc comes back, tells me usually people come in saying they've been 'spiked', but it's actually just too much booze (which as the only sober person, I thought it was). But then he said the thing above about heart attack/car crash/methamphetamine, and asked me if he had suffered either of the first two, so I told him nope. They tell me they'll keep him in overnight and to go home. We say bye as they're putting in his drip (he'll get a second drip because at some point he will get up to use the toilet and pull it out). I drop the others home, get to mine for 3-4am, and get a call at 7am to pick him up, he's discharged himself because he feels great. Sorry for the derail everyone.

That is kinda weird, because a test for amphetamines wouldn't be 'a heart attack, car crash or amphetamines' it would be 'here are the metabolites for amphetamine in his blood this dude definitely took amohetamines'. And the traditional tweaker answer to 'whats your name?' isn't 'noooooo' it's 'heres my name and here's my life story and here are my theories about the world and did you know that Melissa Joan Hart Nickelodeon TV darling is still occasionally doing movies but they're weird religious things etc etc etc' for about 90 minutes with no pauses before trying to scrub the hospital bed clean with a toothbrush and touching their face every other second. So I would guess that answer comes from being absolutely shitfaced. But if the doctor said meth, poo poo they're doctors I'm not.

Speaking as a doctor, amphetamines may not have been on the standard urine test (usually alcohol, acetaminophen/paracetamol, opiates, marijuana, and beyond that it depends on your lab). The doctor's statement does suggest elevated troponins, and the specific troponins anybody cares about are released from cardiac muscle injury, usually either traumatic or due to being choked off. We usually think of the latter as a heart attack, but cocaine, among other agents, acts as a powerful vasoconstrictor, clamping down the blood vessels, which can inhibit flow and cause the noted cardiac injury. Actually, in a totally tangential moment, one of my med school preceptors actually used to carry a license to prescribe cocaine, which was apparently used in rare cases of ophthalmologic surgeries, I would guess for exactly that property. He did it as a lark at the time, since it was something like a $40 rider on the DEA license he already had, but long since stopped doing it as the fee got worse.

if he is dead would they really call his sister the "regent?" Would that mean she's just an interim leader until one of Kim's sons (does he even have any?) comes of age? I know North Korea has been taking steps as of late to formalize their weird little Presidential Monarchy but even so this all seems a bit much for me.

He reportedly has a kid but there aren't any details. There are other male members of the family, including his brother (though his brother is not involved with anything at all). I have a hard time believing they would allow a woman to be in charge but who knows. Everything's always rumor with NK.

You can do most any eye surgery under general, it's just why risk it when its completely not necessary, the eye is pretty easy to numb. The only time I've ever done general anesthesia for eyeball surgery is for like developmentally delayed folk and combative olds.
