Don't take my post as saying that movie script isn't already happening. Michael Bay is directing, Mark Whalberg, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese, and Josh Duhmal are already signed up. During the heist they're going to find the cure for Coronavirus. Also, when cured, Coronavirus explodes. EDIT: The part of Bill Murray will be played by a Victoria's Secret Model by the way. Gotta get the eye candy in there. Edited April 8, 2020 by ramssuperbowl99 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard rumors that Michael B Jordan will be playing Pharma Bro, and has it stipulated he has to take his shirt off no less than six times... shutupandtakemymoney.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, they aren't in their peak yet, and their Governor hasn't handled the outbreak well at all. We could see little spikes as this virus hits different areas of the US. Florida's slowed down quite a bit. Fewer new cases each of the last 3 days compared to Saturday and Sunday. They have not been as hard hit as you'd expect given population and blatant disregard for distancing, IMO because of climate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the major hot spot (Miami) isn’t as bad as a lot of people believe. The Miami Herald reported this weekend that hospitals are not swamped and that most ventilators and ICU beds are available. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241785966.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 So doc says I'm fine to return to work, not Covid just a cough caused by excess sinus drainage... Didn't know that was a thing or I would have definitely suspected it as I know I have frequent sinus problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it is seasonal but to be fair, most of the people being ignorant were college aged kids who don’t get hit as hard with this. Ive spoken to people in The Villages recently and the whole community has been taking things seriously for about as long as the rest of the country. I think the college kids just get the majority of the press. As far as the seasonality, wouldn’t this be applicable to Nawlins then? I mean, they seem to be one of the hardest hit areas.

ramssuperbowl99 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Really goddamn glad the state of Wisconsin had a total of 5 polling stations open for the entire goddamn city of Milwaukee yesterday, because our primary elections are really critical. ... Oh, wait, one of the two primary candiates dropped out before the results are even released. Smart. Really smart. Why not just make it a requirement that in order to vote you have to cough down your oldest immediate family members throat, then light the ballots on fire you stupid jackasses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah all the nonsense surrounding THE DANGERS OF vote by mail is stupid. My state has been doing it for YEARS, and its amazing. Oregon has been doing it successfully since the 1990s. Colorado also does it. In this situation its a no-brainer. Edited April 8, 2020 by animaltested 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even need to go to election security/voter ID/whatever here to be mad about this. It's a primary that was effectively already over. You delay this thing and it takes care of itself. Stick the other ballot items on the next election, or have an election in 2 or 3 months from now when we aren't at the apex of infection rates. I understand that results in a slightly longer/shorter term, and I know delaying elections indefinitely is a slippery slope but jesus this was a layup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 3 hours ago, WizeGuy said: 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. interesting, thx for posting. Until it is peer reviewed, we won't learn much about the validity of these results. Our Immune system is like an orchestra with a hundred different "instruments" each playing a role. Its hard to tease out whether the tuba or the piccolo is the key component and each human is slightly different in their response. I'll also note that they say antibodies couldn't be detected, which is different than saying there aren't any. Lots of variables to consider. Linked in that Newsweek article is the study with Ivermectin, an approved anti-parasitic drug that is being studied at Monash University in Australia. That shows promise and Monash is part of the COVID-19 Therapeutic Accelerator funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, so that's high quality work. But its very early on in their COVID 19 testing, so far only "test tube" work , but there is a full set of safety studies in humans already, so that really expedites development time. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354220302011 *Ivermectin is an inhibitor of the COVID-19 causative virus (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro. (test tubes) *A single treatment able to effect ∼5000-fold reduction in virus at 48h in cell culture.• *Ivermectin is FDA-approved for parasitic infections, and therefore has a potential for re-purposing.• *Ivermectin is widely available, due to its inclusion on the WHO model list of essential medicines. And Ivermectin does not have the same cardiac toxicity as the hydroxychloroquine drug so that's another big positive 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
