I always knew it would end like this.

So if the virus doesn't cause those 3 markers to be off, and instead it takes advantage of people with those markers - can't we just have everyone get a full blood panel and point out "hey you're going to die if you get this" to the ones who have those markers?

That seems like an easy stopgap in places where testing is unreliable/unavailable

That thing has a 80% NPV and 98% PPV, (positive=survival, negative=death), so IMO it's only useful as a tool to determine if you're not gonna die

America briefly slowed down after it got out of the car as it ambled towards Applebee's. Now we're taking one long, final lick of the doorknob before we step in to meet our doom.

Yeah my mom pointed out that one of her friends posted pics on Facebook from Florida, and he looked so happy!

That's interesting. LDH is used to inform owners of a dog's survival prognosis after some emergency surgeries.

The biomarkers changed in response to the disease, so the virus already has to be wreaking havoc on the body.

LDH is also released after strenuous aerobic exercise so obese goons should take this study to heart as a reason to never exercise*

all of this stuff about the logistics of handling bodies being some huge technical problem seems insane, if you only care about them as disease vectors and not as ex-humans, the quantities you can move dwarf the absolute maximum of coronavirus fatalities. if it's that or the end of the world fill up an oil tanker with em and scuttle it, you could fit 3-4 million corpses in a big one if they were fully compacted

love this kind of reporting

The country of smallasfuckland is hard hit by the virus with 80% of the land expected to be consumed by mass graves as the death toll approaches 3.

How about some sort of standardized death count reporting. There's fuckign standards for every other drat thing. I'm sure there is a simple and efficient way to undercount deaths and all countries should just agree to adopt and move on.

another poster pointed out the scientific reason this wouldn't work. but lol even if it did the US wouldn't do it. the reason for lack of testing is political will, not material shortages.

We did this and made one of those red sections in Manhattan slightly redder.

this is because everyone stopped going out even if there wasn’t a lockdown. for awhile there people all agreed that social distancing was good and everyone was rightfully scared. it turns out that laws and mandates are actually just suggestions in a lot of cases.

we are all bored now though, so pandemic over let’s go spit into each others lungs again.

I’m having trouble even parsing this post let alone figuring which part is ironic (Brazil has 200 million people) so I’ll just chime in to say that Amazonas is already in dire straits and will soon be a humanitarian catastrophe: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/brazil-coronavirus-bolsonaro-1.5550341
