lol imagine if my country closed its borders? we have less than ten confirmed cases. we could have even kept it lower but no. aggressive boards of cash won’t let no lame rear end disease stop us. nz bows down to eat china’s rear end there ain’t no way we’re gonna do anything but open armed gently caress every diseased guest that comes onto our shores

Broken Machine posted:i picked up toilet paper yesterday, and i almost felt like saying to the clerk at the checkout, hey i'm not hoarding this i'm just low on stock and i'd rather not run out, it has nothing to do with corona. i bet corona isn't fun though! eventually someone will have a trip report every single person who comes in to the pharmacy to buy masks and sanitiser (we have neither) says “i’m not one of these idiot hoarders” lmao had a woman come in and tell us about how she’s going on like ten flights and we were like “look we literally have this one display mask you can have it”, it was an n95 style mask but she said “no i’m looking for the surgical kind” 🙄 jesus lady we haven’t at any masks for weeks, no one has oh and lol at buying toilet paper. way to admit you poo poo

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:often times once you recover from a virus you can’t get it again. it’s if the virus mutates that you can get sick again, like the flu. it’s also why the flu vaccine isn’t 100% effective. they pick a strain that they predict will be the most common and vaccinate you against that. the antibodies we create that recognise pathogens require unique antigens to identify. once our immune system can identify an antigen it can usually take care of it very well our immune system is mental. it was described in university as something like a random protein generator and those proteins will “stick” to things and are antibodies and they act like tags for other immune cells to swallow up. it was described as if the protein stuck to our own cells it could tell so it didn’t use them (this always felt like an obscene simplification when it was taught) that’s what an autoimmune disorder is, where our immune system tags our own cells for destruction. it’s possible type 1 diabetes results from the body creating antibodies for some kind of virus and those antibodies also bind to the beta cells in the pancreas so that the immune system attacks the beta cells thinking it’s a virus. it’s possible we will be able to immunise against this in the future rheumatic fever can lead to a similar situation there the antibodies will bind to cells in the heart (to do with the valves?) and so the immune system will attack the heart so that’s why you get this weird situation where rheumatic fever leading to CV problems the H and N in flu strands like H1N1 represent the two most common antigen families expressed on the flu virus, although they aren’t the only ones I’m not sure why some immune responses last longer than other though. why we can give the immune system dead cells for some things and live attenuated for others and it’s also worth nothing most viruses don’t target all our cells but just a limited number. things like coronavirus attack the respiratory cells. measles is nasty because it attacks our immune cells itself and is one of the worst viruses because it can “erase” some or all of your immune “memory” most common cold are either rhinovirus or coronavirus. why this one in particular is much more deadly is something I’d like to understand also sometimes in healthy people we can get situations where our cells lyse and release huge volumes of viral particles into our body and our immune system sees this as an extreme attack and can have something called a “cytokine storm” and lead to shock and this is how you get very healthy people dying of flu, different to vulnerable people dying from respiratory failure from the flu just some ill-remembered info for ya. it’s probably all wrong now echinopsis fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Mar 14, 2020 |

Stereotype posted:I keep telling everyone who is saying "It isn't just the US, everywhere in the world is doing badly" that, in fact, China and South Korea are doing very well china has this authoritarian angle that we just don’t also imagine if : this continues to mutate so that catching this is like catching a cold in that you only get immunity to that strain but can get it again, the implication being that from now on it’s just like influenza but easier to catch and just circulates the globe over and over and perhaps being old is just a thing of the past time will tell but something wise I read made the claim that if we’re over precautions we won’t know* but if we aren’t precautious enough it will be abundantly clear *china and korea being very on the precautious end of the scale

there's also an incredibly cynical angle, that due to the huge cost to the health system that the elderly are.. perhaps if they died.. there'd be a few more dollars to go around

sam harris making sense podcast has some epidemiologist on who recons fatality rate may be less than 0.6% realistically but it’s also getting everywhere that’s what? around one and a half million dead in the US? 24,000 here in nz the podcast is worthwhile listening to the dude seems to know what he’s talking about. gonna listen to the rest on the way to work. getting in 2.5 hours before we open to get poo poo done 😓 we are busy AS gently caress

lancemantis posted:0.6% dead people is still dead people; making light of things with stats like that is neoliberal hellspeak I don't think it's an attempt to make light of things Broken Machine posted:it depends on what percentage of people need hospitalization. once hospitals are overwhelmed, it doesn't much matter if you would have lived with treatment, and death rates are going to go way up you're not wrong. those numbers are pulled from south korea, which has the highest quality data, but perhaps also higher quality care too. I work with a girl who is fatalistic and honestly lacks empathy for anyone and it's so loving frustrating, I'm like, we need to make every decision around saving human lives here, whereas she thinks signs outside the pharmacy asking us to keep people out who have coronavirus makes us look unfriendly I had to ask a dude to self isolate yesterday. I'm gonna call him today because he looked like his feelings were hurt. I hope I didn't make him sad lol

Agile Vector posted:i think i remember you were stocking extra too? I got in more than we did last year. problem is it’s typical market bullshit, can only return up to ten vaccines at the end of the year so if you get too many it’ll cost ya. stupid hate it all. the regulations that are necessary are giving me reason to work from 6am till 8pm to get it ready. I feel so overwhelmed and snowed under and there’s no reprieve, it’s important stuff that needs to get to help the community so I can keep chugging but I hate it all lol
