Well, that and the fact that we're back to the heist thread if you want a mask in north america right now.Doug wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 2:23 pmThere's a bizarre vector of don't wear masks/don't test a vaccine/there's nothing we can doKhaos wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 2:18 pm i talked to my friend in beijing yesterday and he said sit-down restaurants are starting to open again (with very limited seating) and people are returning to work more and more. although they are all wearing masks
some idiots think masks are ineffective, which i guess is why everyone in north america is not wearing them. its wild

Re: Charho-oh Virus Thread
I just can't believe how stupid I was that I was stocking up on food well before the panicking people started and there were gloves/masks available, but I was like 'man, that is silly, I'm not going to wear masks and gloves if somebody in our house gets sick, so I have no use for these.'
Now, I would definitely like some. I need to do a run to the office at some point in the next couple days, and I'd love to have some mask/gloves to wear when I do it, since people are still going in during the days. At this point I'm going to wait until Sunday night and I guess wear some winter gloves and a scarf around my face like an idiot?

Re: Charho-oh Virus Thread
What's going to happen if we open everything up and then cases start spiking again, though? I mean, I agree that it's unreasonable to stay locked down until the virus is all gone, but it's not like the economy would be fine and it's the lockdowns that are killing it. People still aren't going to want to go to restaurants or to the movies in the middle of an outbreak.Doug wrote:At some point, there's going to have to be a decision to save the economy even though the virus is not 100 percent extinguished

i don't want to hurt the supply of surgical masks to doctors/nurses, and those ones aren't reusable so

Prediction: When someone announces they've developed a vaccine, you're going to see a bunch of people who normally would not be anti-vaxxers suddenly expressing doom-and-gloom skepticism about a vaccine

i am definitely going to be more skeptical of a vaccine that has been rushed out in response to a crisis than ones that have been around for a while

Re: Charho-oh Virus Thread
i wouldn't describe my feelings as "doom-and-gloom", though. maybe they will indeed develop an effective vaccine! but you know, something something replication crisis something something years of evidence etc

Re: Charho-oh Virus Thread
The silver lining of how we're handling covid is that by the time we'd theoretically have a vaccine, herd immunity will be a thing, so it won't really need to be rushed anymore.

I read somewhere that intubation has a 50 percent chance of killing you regardless of the reason. Can that be right

Re: Charho-oh Virus Thread
That seems pretty wild. But I mean, if your lungs fail, I don't really know what to expect.
I read someone on Twitter saying they were intubated, and that it felt like suffocating because they couldn't breathe. But oxygen was still getting in.

Re: Charho-oh Virus Thread
I don't want to be intubated.
Re: Charho-oh Virus Thread
Well I also heard that they knock you out when they intubate you, like every time, and that's why it's so dangerous
