! Reminder that there is a BCG trial going on right now run by Texas A&M which is looking for 1,800 volunteers throughout the state of Texas. As far as I know you must be a medical worker to participate, and they might expand to LA and other parts of the country soon. https://twitter.com/AggieRabbi/status/1255598122262310918?s=20

babypolis posted:so whats the deal with sweden? honestly the numbers from over there dont seem that bad considering they arent murdering their own economy like everyone else Many more are dying there than in the neighboring countries, but you are repeating a rightwing talking point which is based on a fallacy, which is that one must choose either between saving the economy or opening up society. The reality is much more nuanced. First of all, Sweden's economy, like the rest of Europe and the world, is hosed. The IMF projects that Sweden will lose 6.8% of their GDP, which is admittedly not as high as the biggest losers in Europe (Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands), where losses will be closer to 8 or 9 percent, but it's still higher than the EU average of 6.4%. Having "no lock down" hasn't saved their economy. Second, saying they have no lockdown is not correct. The different countries have had different approaches to lockdown and have enacted different measures, and they all exist on a number of spectrums. Sweden took different measures than most places, most notably leaving restaurants and shops open. However, other countries also left shops open. However, they did ban events, and also, very importantly, locked down their nursing homes early on to defend the elderly. There are still a lot more deaths than everywhere nearby though. But also much less than places like Belgium, which did a pretty heavy lockdown. Anyway, the choice of murdering your economy or murdering your people is a false dichotomy. Even in Sweden a lot of people have changed their habits and are hiding inside and shopping less and avoiding restaurants. Young people still go to bars, sure, but it's not the same society it was 3 months ago. It didn't save their economy. This poo poo is not an on/off switch, there is nuance to every situation. By repeating these oversimplified talking points you are reinforcing the idiotic chud narrative. twoday has issued a correction as of 01:41 on May 1, 2020 |

COVID-420 posted:it's truly incredible that capitalists managed to pin the economic collapse on the "lockdown" rather than....a worldwide plague  Their unwavering belief in a free-market philosophy has made them believe that there is only one thing that matters - how regulated the market is. There is no room in this philosophy for poo poo like this pandemic, which is upending a lot of the preconceived notions we have about everything. But not to them, because they are fixed in their beliefs and have no room for reinterpretation.

babypolis posted:thank you for the response. i am wiser now and will not repeat the chud lines anymore it's fine, we all have things to learn also just as a general comment to everyone, I want to mention that you shouldn't fear my new mod powers in matters of discussion. Though I have the power to probe and ban people, I don't intend to use this against people who disagree with me about things. I enjoy arguing with people on the internet, and would rather do that than just silence my opponents. I am going to try to reserve my mod powers for things that keep the forum running smoothly, like probing people who are spamming and derailing a thread and annoying everyone. If you disagree with me, that's fine, go for it, live your best life.

Lpzie posted:im waiting for the one about smoking. the french government severely limited the sales of nicotine patches and gum after they announced that they were starting that nicotine patch trial. The main reaction to this which I read was that they were trying to stop people from self-medicating before the results are published. But I also think it could be: 1) they are stockpiling it for medical use because they think it could work, just in case 2) they don't want smokers to quit right now, just in case

  Rates of 2007/2008 flu shots in Germany and Berlin It doesn’t make sense that this would do anything against COVID, but this shows the persisting difference in attitudes among the public and healthcare professionals in different regions of Germany. It’s fun to live in the geopolitical power sphere that thinks mass vaccination is an invasion of individual liberty and most people don’t know how vaccines work and think they are made of methylmercury East German vaccine commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6RBW7lresc (Not technically a commercial if it’s made by the state without any commercial profit-driven motive, so I guess propaganda is a better word) twoday has issued a correction as of 18:33 on May 2, 2020 |

Squizzle posted:hmmm good enough excuse to repost my favorite common law story, about how habeus corpus became a law in the first place: quote:The Act came about because the Earl of Shaftesbury encouraged his friends in the Commons to introduce the Bill where it passed and was then sent up to the House of Lords. Shaftesbury was the leading Exclusionist—those who wanted to exclude Charles II's brother James, Duke of York from the succession—and the Bill was a part of that struggle as they believed James would rule arbitrarily. The Lords decided to add many wrecking amendments to the Bill in an attempt to kill it; the Commons had no choice but to pass the Bill with the Lords' amendments because they learned that the King would soon end the current parliamentary session. the only reason you have this right is because someone mocked an overweight person 350 years ago THE BODY IS PRESENT

From CNN: Do you have the 'skin hunger'? The Dutch-born anthropologist Harald Prins points out the effect coronavirus has already had on his native language: It appears, not surprisingly, that Covid-19 related neologisms are rampant in the Netherlands (and probably in most if not all other languages, too). I doubt most will survive but some will, albeit with unsuspected accretions. In Dutch, for example, few realize that a popular word like "klerevent" (difficult to translate, but equivalent to bastard or rotten fellow) derives from cholera (klere). Here are some Dutch corona neologisms with my free translations (but several terms resonate in a unique social-cultural way in the Netherlands): Huidhonger / skin hunger: a longing for human contact while in isolation Anderhalvemeteresamenleving / six-feet-society: an society constructed to avoid spreading coronavirus Hoestschaamte / cough-shame: the anxiety one may experience about possibly triggering a panic among the people nearby when making a coughing sound for whatever reason Coronahufter / coronajerk: shopper at a supermarket or store who violates the six-foot social distance prescription or other safe-keeping protocol. Druppelcontact / spray-contact: exchange of little droplets when sneezing or coughing, esp. as source of infection Onthamsteren / dehoarding: processing long-stored shelf-stable food into a meal. Straatschaamte / street-shame: the embarrassment someone experiences when being out for urgently necessary errands during lockdown Toogviroloog / blather-virologist: dilettante who spreads false or unsubstantiated information about the virus, its transmission, or its treatment A new Dutch corona lexicon was created and is updated. It already comprises 700 new words, including those noted above.

Dutch riot police on horseback disperse an anti-lockdown protest on the 75th Liberation Day. Today is the anniversary of the defeat of the nazis, a national holiday that normally sees lots of parties and public events. A large number of protestor went to the protesting field in the Hague, many of them shouting that the lockdown is a conspiracy, or comparing the lockdown measures to nazi occupation.
