my wife is starting to lose it :(

she / her family at risk or is it just anxiety? at this point all you can do it minimize contact and hope for the best, if she needs something to do to feel like she's helping there's probably a mutual aid group in your area that will need volunteers/info/money

So surely the CFR has to go down somewhat as doctors get more experience and gain better treatments right? Even in the old thread doctors were posting that they were having good results with certain therapies (IL6? I don't know what any of these mean) and while obviously they're not silver bullets there likely will be other therapies too that will together at least reduce the death rate?

Seattle region reported it's down to 1.4 or so I think? so yeah as peak is passed and EDs tool up to fight it and get experience with the disease it'll drop

We're both juggling WFH and a 4 month old. The anxiety part is something worth exploring however, thanks

volunteering brain or physical power to food banks or homeless shelters are good, will involve some risk (CSA less, homeless outreach more) but this isn't going to be stopping soon so it may be worth looking into what is going on just in case it's something to do later

most food banks aren't closing down and stuffing boxes is something that can be done safely, and if she has a mind for logistics she'll go a long way

As much as Texas huffs its own "no beans in chili" yeehaw cowboy farts, the nationalism is more a positive one, and results in having considerable pride in a store that has better planning and resource management than many companies and now governments(U.S. included)

:lol: :texas::clint:

no bean chili is a bourgeois extravagance

while it is valid chili, it is valid in the same sense that pheasant nuggets dipped in caviar is a valid form of poultry nuggets

verdict: gulag

Not sure, seeing decreased contractility on ultrasound with a slight increase in troponin, no significant enlargement on chest X-ray. Patient usually has mild symptoms but tend to undergo ARDS and cardiovascular collapse quickly. Two of the four like this I’ve seen personally were late 20’s/early 30’s and otherwise healthy. Sorry I don’t have more details than that, once autopsies are done on more victims there should be a better understanding of the pathology.

so far the phase 4 proposals are:

GOP more broadly: everything's fine, pay ur rent fuckos

So our warehouse has been shipping for the last two weeks because the CEO decided that we qualified as essential (we definitely aren't) and today I found out that most of our senior management believe it's either a hoax or a Chinese bioweapon

I love the reasoning for the bioweapon thing, like the only thing you can say considering it started there is "they made a bet that they could contain it without imploding as a nation and that we couldn't, even with a big head start" and like, well what's it say that they were apparently right?
