Their testing is way behind other countries on a relative basis (they've tested around the same portion of their population as the UK but seem to have closer to Spain or Italy levels of their population infected) and as that improves you're going to see big spikes in their numbers even though they are probably slowing down along with the rest of Europe. Yeah my understanding of our situation is that we only test people once they are at the hospital and we bring people to the hospital only when they have trouble breathing or a long lasting fever. So yeah it's likely a high proportion of people are tested are, indeed, sick. Obviously our prevention system failed big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provide food so she doesn't have to go out? It's a huge risk but if they are providing things like that, it will mitigate some of the risk that can be avoided. $6,000-$7,000 weekly after taxes, food stipend, hotel accommodations, gas stipend, in exchange for 21 consecutive 12 hour days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense attorney Ben Brafman said that he will file court papers asking federal authorities to release Shkreli for three months so he can do laboratory work “under strict supervision.” I can't wait for him to help update the MoL rankings.

WizeGuy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 https://www.newsweek.com/covid-19-reinfection-risk-questioned-after-low-levels-antibodies-found-recovered-patients-1496776 "Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai analysed blood sampled from 175 patients who had been released from the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center. The results showed nearly a third had low levels of antibodies and in some patients, they could not be detected at all, the South China Morning Post reports." Some potential bad news regarding immunity. That being said, I've read else where it can take upwards of 20 days for antibodies to develop, so the fact these are all young patients who only experienced minor symptoms makes me wonder whether or not they were tested after 20 days. Unfortunately there's not much information regarding the study. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/crucial-test-to-identify-those-who-have-recovered-from-covid-19-and-have-active-immunity/ This study will provide a lot of answers. *Fingers Crossed* COVID-19 is similar to SARS in that we get immunity for many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Wu Tang or Bill Murray ever steal back that secret album? I would totally watch a heist movie based on the RZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killa and Bill Murray breaking into Shkreki's house all Oceans 11 style and taking the secret album.

Hey now, let's not use the phrase "steal back". I have a good source* who says it's not stealing if you just take back stuff that is yours. *the source is definitely not OJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll get at least an in person interview in every job for the rest of her life, just because the hiring manager is going to want to ask about that.

Part of me hopes that her HR is dumb enough to say "You won't have a job waiting for you when you come back" so she can smirk, walk away into a better situation in 4-6 weeks (she'll have to self quarantine for 14 days afterwards), and then get a better/better paying job somewhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could do anything. If she wanted, that's the type of stuff that gets you into med school with a so-so MCAT.

Yeah, I have a feeling that's too good of a deal to turn down. Also as @ramssuperbowl99 said, it would be great on a resume and assures of just about any job application getting an in-person interview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
