ThomasPaine posted:They occasionally make off-colour jokes and don't exhibit sufficient po-faced earnestness as far as I can tell. Quite a few accusations of class reductionism too and implicitly therefore ignorance of race issues, from people who think class is an 'identity' rather than an economic relationship. Their shoutout of "harassment works" last episode was probably not the best humorous pushback against the  argument.[edit] I am sure the NYT hit piece is full of dumb but there are definite reasons why you might not be into Chapo's brand of discourse.

Of course a lot was the conservatives and liberals call harassment isn't, same as a lot of what is being called antisemitism isn't, but that doesn't mean it should yay antisemites and yay harassers who both make libs and cons melt down. The meltdowns achieved winning traction, votes, and arguments are all the sweeter anyway. Chris Matthews apparently walked out of Hardball before he was pushed after he had that huge meltdown over Sanders winning Nevada. I personally found that quite funny.

Trin Tragula posted:Extensive twitter thread on why Chapo can get tae gently caress, tl;dr: Well, that seems to be a bit of a non-sequitur. What argument are you trying to make here? Chapo people = weev? Because you need to actually frame an argument in that case as opposed to just dropping a loving long twitter thread about some shitheads who went hard right during and after occupy. Trin Tragula posted:I mean, assuming "they're thick as mince" isn't a good enough argument, which should be patently obvious from how much stock they put in "Just elect Bernie" when anyone with half a brain can see his platform's going to get entirely torpedoed by the Senate if he does manage to win Munin fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Mar 3, 2020 |

My workplace is kicking off voluntary wfh. Looks like about 2/3rds of people are taking it up. We're pretty well set up in terms of laptops and VPN to access shared resources etc so impact should be reasonably limited. Our clients are all panicking because they are seeing the physical retail numbers start falling through the floor.

OwlFancier posted:I'm just curious given that it'd be odd if they stopped reporting cases/deaths because people are going to want to know that. Seems harder to hide when it's something they absolutely track. Also when everyone's banging on the hospital doors seeking treatment because everyone got it at once. They are already undertesting and hence undercounting and I am sure they will continue doing that.

MrTundra posted:Structural drug design has done some pretty impressive work on COVID-19 this week. A full fragment based drug screen on the major protease of the virus, from beginning to end since January. Not enough time to help with this outbreak, which I imagine is why it hasn't been more widely circulated, but very promising as a lead for antivirals against future outbreaks. This from the group leader on the project: It's absolutely crazy what we can do these days. What advances in computing and imaging have achieved.

Sorry for pulling that out from a bit back but the fact that the vast majority won't need to be hospitalised is right. 20% does not a vast majority make. Not that it helps matters much since 20% of 70% of 66 million is still far too loving many for the NHS to cope with if they flood in.

WhatEvil posted:I mean, I don't know if I'd call 80% a "vast majority". It is a majority, yes. 80% won't need to go to hospital though which is what the original quote was about. If Covid-19 was hospitalising the "vast majority" of people who contract it then this would be a whole different ballgame.

blunt posted:Am I right in assuming that once you've had it and recovered you're basically fine to rejoin society? Important note, you are most likely not. It is unclear exactly how long you remain infectious after you yourself get over the infection. Some of the monitoring shows the virus persisting for a decent while after symptoms clear. So you'd be fine around infected and people who've gotten over it themselves but not good to visit your nan. That said that is another thing that is uncertain so if anyone has recent data on that they've come across do chime in.

Prince John posted:Not posting to contradict you, but interesting that the NHS advice very much does not reflect this: Yeah. If you look at various reports it does mention that longer term viral shedding is pretty well documented but not universal and that it is unclear if it can lead to transmission: e.g. https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/COVID-19-Discharge-criteria.pdf quote:Prolonged viral shedding from nasopharyngeal aspirates–up to at least 24 days after symptom onset–was reported among COVID-19 patients in Singapore [2]. Researchers from Germany also reported prolonged viral shedding with high sputum viral load after recovery in a convalescent patient [3]. They acknowledge, however, that viability of SARS-CoV-2 detected by qRT-PCR in this patient has not been proven by viral culture. Prolonged virus shedding has been observed among convalescent children after mild infections, in respiratory tract samples (22 days) and faeces (between two weeks and more than one month) [4]. A shift from positive oral swab samplesduring early infection to positive rectal swab samples during late infection was observed on Chinese patients; the authors raised concerns about the fact that COVID-19 patients were discharged from hospital on the basis of negative oral swabs [5]. The NHS advice might not be wrong but it does depend on your level of caution/paranoia. Munin fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Mar 19, 2020 |

If we don't develop some resistance then we're basically hosed forever. It's why the schools had to be closed for 16 weeks or not at all. Whilst the study by Imperial is very much down on a lockdown achieving the containment and eradication of the virus some other epidemiologists think their analysis is full of poo poo and a lockdown has a good chance of being successful in this case (as long as it is in fact properly applied): https://necsi.edu/review-of-ferguson-et-al-impact-of-non-pharmaceutical-interventions

The answer could be poo poo tests. One thing that does strike me is that from similar starting points the cases in Germany (where little action was taken for a long time) have ballooned, cases in France (where they kicked off measures earlier) are lower, but they are still the lowest in the UK for some reason despite doing gently caress all.

OwlFancier posted:The ventilator equivalent of that metal lump that stops the track pins falling out of a T34 by repeatedly whacking them back in each time the track goes round. Where could I read up about that quirk? If they significantly change the approach mid way then yeah, you can throw any trends going across that divide out of the window... All numbers we're getting right now are provisional. The brouhaha about some of the counting quirks in Spain and elsewhere isn't unexpected. Most people are poorly educated about what the current death statistics actually mean and how limited they are. The current global death toll is an undercount.

thespaceinvader posted:E: why the poo poo are the cabinet using Zoom? Why has Zoom become The Thing in this lockdown when there are dozens of alternatives for remote meetings? I had ltierally never heard of Zoom before like... 2 weeks ago. Their software is so much better than Webex which used to be the go to. Google keeps killing its various communications platforms and MS Teams is only starting to get some traction. Zoom are relatively new on the scene. The company I worked for trialled the various platforms last year and Zoom worked best. I have had far fewer issues with it than any other platform I tried.
