listening to the latest this week in virology, and they're talking about using plasma from recovered patients.

turns out it might be useful in the very early stages of infection, but because plasma is full of clotting factors and one of the things covid does is cause clots, it's not going to be good for already very sick people, and probably wouldn't help them anyway because by then it's not the virus causing the illness, but the body's response to it.

so I guess this means the only slightly effective treatment we have are super-expensive IL6 inhibitors, and even that's dubious

Lmao yes and no. When you lose 150+ lbs your old shoes are stretched out and you have a lovely self image and don't want to go shopping and buying shoes w/o trying them on is a recipe for disaster when you normally go hiking every weekend but I'm okay with buying slippers online :)

Patton was a erratic leader but also had a genius like ability to accomplish the impossible like his response in the Battle of Bulge.

His aggressive hard driving mentality was also feared and respected by the Wehrmacht since it set him apart from the more cautious predictable tactics of other allied generals.

Reminder of the WH's Council of Economic Advisers' cubic model posted just last Wednesday and which for some inexplicable reason is still being left up on their official twitter account:

It was really obviously dumb to begin with and it was proven to be absolutely dog poo poo within just six hours when the data for that day was updated but here's how it looks with the current data superimposed:


According to their model the US was already supposed to be down to less than 500 deaths a day and in a week from now it would be down to zero and the pandemic would be over. The model was insultingly bad, just the most obvious propaganda bullshit.

yes, considering you'd need to procure and process like 50m+ tests and deliver results daily for effective contact tracing in the entirety of the us

the number of tests available is pointless because of how widespread the virus is and how impotent the trump administration has been, the only reason to test now is to admit people into icus and correctly treat them

so now that i'm thinking about it, maybe 8 million tests will be necessary because l o l we're flying toward 7 figure death count

Pizza update: I stayed strong and did not order pizza delivery. Instead I made chicken pot pie and cheddar bay biscuits, which satisfied my craving for a large, disgustingly fatty meal without having to worry about the ethics of capitalism.

If you have the ingredients, quarantine is a great time to make pot pies (a 2-3 hour process).

I specifically meant the pharmacist, they should know better. If you're in any customer-facing job and are struggling to communicate writing is way safer than pulling your mask down. I didn't want to imply the old lady who couldn't understand was dumb!

In comment sections there are moments of chuddyness by people from other countries. Seeing the protests in other countries solidifies those moments, but only really see it in people who suck on trump.

So it looks like an outgrowth from the united states. But have seen some abroad gamergate throwbacks be very trusting of their government's stay at home orders. So are there degrees of chuddyness? Or the natural hatred of the united states keeping some abroad chuds from going full chud? if they had their country's version of Trump would they suck hard too and protest?
