And now the goons responsible are isolating themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Liebenstein Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Does now seem to be a steady stream of deaths popping up with perhaps some relationship to the lockdown. Won't comment on the details of this one, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8170897/Police-launch-murder-probe-family-four-dead.html but will remark that in true Daily Mail Style they managed to get the house price in the headline.

Nothing special, just the expected exponential growth in cases. UK numbers are an outlier, probably due to state censorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusion of VIs Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 8 minutes ago, Mikhail Liebenstein said: I guess COVID19 is the disease, it is possible to have the virus and not the disease. Yes, I guess this is because the virus is new and if your body hasn't seen it before, ingesting/breathing in large quantities will result in large numbers of cells being invaded and damaged. If you body recognises it, then probably you mount a better defence and secondly your body won't produce loads of virus itself to virally load yourself and other people. I do slightly wonder if in the end we may realise hospitals are contributing to the spread and death count. With the Spanish Flu they set up medical camps which probably concentrated the viral load, I suspect hospitals may be the modern equivalent. May be the secret is to safe immunity is regular small exposures to the virus. I haven't seen any explanation of how this could be the case. Once you become infected the virus will replicate rapidly to billions of times more than the initial "load". Until there is an explanation of the mechanism that supports this theory I think it is best to disregard it. Certainly I wouldn't try to gain immunity by having a small exposure, it might be the equivalent to trying to gain immunity from machine gun bullets by letting yourself be hit by just a few.

They're testing for COVID-19: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_testing#Detection_of_virus If the numbers given in the table here are reliable it would pour water on the theory that there are thousands let alone millions, of asymptomatic cases. For example, 10 days ago Spain had tested 355'000 people of which 25'000 tested positive. As of yesterday, Italy had tested 437'000 people of which 101'000 had tested positive. You can see why Governments all over the world are taking such drastic measures judging by these stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 20m people in this range in the uk, this corresponds to 1-2k people. Around 4k in this range die from suicide and accidents every year. There has already been an increase in murder suicide Due to isolation reported, is it worth it? Un f**kin’ believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely part of Sussex. We are sick here, as that was my first thought when I saw the headlines. I would buy there! Seriously, how could anyone live there after such an horrendous tragedy. I don’t think I could. Must have been up to his eyes in debt and realised it was all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally work from home, but since all our head office have taken to working from home, I am doing more hours than before because of all the useless webex meetings (I am in one now as I write this!). Nothing productive, just lots of people trying to look like they are doing something. Driving me nuts. At least I am getting paid, and keeping my job. Pharma always survives recessions in pretty good shape. Been through 3 now and not seen any lay offs.

Well my view is that if you get say 10 virus fragments in one initial dose and it infects 10 cells the body can handle that an learn from it. If you get 400 million virus fragments in one exposure that has to be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
