aradeshis there any merit to the idea that flu jabs might weaken peoples immunity in general, to things like coronavirus? or is that just not how it works? i'd imagine the immune system gets the same benefits from a vaccine as it would an actual virus00:33

bin_bashyeah it doesnt00:35
aradeshi mean, you get the same immunity from the vaccine, as you would the actual virus right?00:35

LjLYour new bot feature makes me anxious ;(00:38
aradeshmy dad's theory is that the body tries its old solutions to viruses before beginning to try to make new ones, so he believes that the more things you've become immune to, the longer it takes for your body to fix it00:38

ryoumai would think the opposite00:39
aradeshit'd be nice if i had an easy answer to dispell his thinking00:39

aradeshthat no previous solutions work on00:39
PlanckWalkThe immune system isn't some serial machin00:39
LjLaradesh: I think there is no easy answer probably because there is a ton of details about the immune system that we don't know about in complete detail. But the null hypothesis... I mean, your dad's hypothesis is sort of random, by default I'd assume not until proven otherwise00:40
aradeshyup00:40
aradeshthat's my feeling too00:40
aradeshbut he comes up with fancy ideas like this, and then goes around asserting them as 100% fact to everyone00:40

XipBill Gates made BASIC?03:12
LjLnot really, but he made the most commercially successful BASIC interpreters03:12
LjLwell, his company anyway, although initially, he personally too03:12
LjLThe first microcomputer version of BASIC was co-written by Gates, Allen, and Monte Davidoff for their newly-formed company, Micro-Soft. This was released by MITS in punch tape format for the Altair 8800 shortly after the machine itself,[12] immediately cementing BASIC as the primary language of early microcomputers.03:13

ryoumai mean, alcohol is probalby not rocket science to produce03:56
ryoumadon't!03:58
LjLi got it from amazon when we were still pretty early into the outbreak03:58
LjLabsolutely unfindable now03:59
LjLsame with denaturated03:59
ryoumadenatured is bad for making hand sanitizer right?04:00
LjLit's okay according to the WHO04:00
ryoumaand everclear has benzene or something bad in it right?04:00
LjLbut then the WHO spouted out a fair amount of other crap04:00
LjLno idea about that, american thing04:00
LjLryouma, denaturated is toxic (on purpose), but isopropyl is also toxic *to drink*, which is what denaturated is made toxic for04:01
ryoumaand vodka is too weak04:01
LjLso whether one or the other will be worse for you is up to your individual sensitivities04:01
ryoumahmm04:01
LjLwell there is some very strong vodka but probably not too easy to source04:01
ryoumadidn't know isopropyl was toxic (i'm gonna just think it's possibly toxic on skin also)04:01
ryoumai thought isopropyl was /also/ denatured for rubbing alcohol though04:02
LjLwell if it weren't toxic on its own they'd just denaturate that too04:02
LjLnot here04:02
LjLwouldn't make much sense04:02
LjLi read what you call rubbing alcohol can be *either* isopropyl, or denaturated ethanol04:02
LjLbut rubbing alcohol not a term here so really i dunno04:03
ryoumai wonder where sources of these things will first show up once production gets stabilized04:04
IronYour local distilleries are already producing it04:07
IronY70% ethanol as per recommendation I believe04:07
IronY(Canada)04:07
LjLryouma, our pharmacy makes hand sanitizer, they were out of it for a while because they had no alcohol either, but they managed to grab some04:07
LjLso i'd assume that's where it'd first show up04:07
LjLthey have the most interest in getting it and making expensive hand sanitizer out of it04:08

LjL€6 for each small jar of sanitizer by our pharmacy would probably not be considered price gouging04:09
IronYNo that sounds about right04:09
LjLsome pharmacies were giving some out free to their registered customers too04:09
IronYI know the states also has distill`s retooling for hand sanitizer04:10
LjLbut they did sell fpp2 masks for extortionate price (for a short while, then they couldn't get any more)04:10
LjL€13.50 each, €130 a pack of 1004:10
LjLbut really i suspect they were also buying them for extortionate prices04:10

LjLxionbox[m], technically, it's going to definitely going to be "after some time"04:15

LjLbut indeed the virus must start reproducing at least04:15
xionbox[m]Makes sense04:15
ketaswasn't it spready since start04:16

ketasand you couldn't feel it04:16
LjLketas, "start" of symptoms04:16
LjLbut he's talking about start of incubation04:16
LjLi.e. the moment you get infected04:16
ketasi meant start of infection04:17
LjLi don't think any such claim has been made04:17
ketasand surfaces?04:18
LjLwhat about them?04:18
LjLsurfaces have been shown to harbor viable virus for a while04:19
LjLhow long of "a while", depends on the surface04:19
LjLalso, how likely it is to get infected from surfaces is unclear04:19
LjLbut i don't see why it would be very unlikely as some claim04:19
tinwhiskersat the point you've just become infected you are not shedding any viruses. How soon after that you do start shedding will vary by person and isn't really known.04:19
LjLtinwhiskers, yeah but that said, i don't think viruses are magical and can accelerate time within your cells04:20

berndjis it strictly necessary to test *individuals*? if one is bottlenecked on test throughput, wouldn't one get a lot of public health bang for the buck by slopping samples from entire households (or even whole neighbourhoods!) together and PCR testing them as a whole to know whether (and how much) people - but not who specifically - are infected?05:04

xionbox[m]No one will care. It's totally outrageous in my eyes that they would try to prevent hiking when it's one of the main reasons why people move to Colorado in the first place, and hikes just are not crowded! So many hikes in Colorado that you're often hundreds of meters away from the closest group06:37
xionbox[m]Infuriates me06:38
IronYxionbox[m]: we closed our provincial parks, there the same size as yours, I have seen the photos, thats not how post people work06:38
IronYits not the hikers that are ruining it06:38
xionbox[m]The response must be rational and coordinated, especially if we're going to stay in confinement for a year (as people in the US Air Force were telling me yesterday)06:38
IronYit is the 3000 people in the parking lots06:38
ryouma1 meter seems to close06:38
ryoumao06:38
ketasyes i prefer 50m06:39
xionbox[m]IronY: if the problem is the parking lot, prevent people from parking on every spot, and only leave every other spot open like they do with the Xs on the ground in grocery stores06:39
sneepxionbox[m]: I'm guessing that individual hikers who don't mingle with other hikers and don't fall down cliffs aren't the problem06:39
IronYxionbox[m]:  you seem to overestimate the general population06:39
ketassingle and will not mingle06:40
IronYxionbox[m]: we already told them if they leave the house their grandparents are probably dead06:40
IronYasking them to park correctly seems a leap06:40
xionbox[m]Can't we place heavy boulders on every other spot?06:40
xionbox[m]Lots of rocks in Colorado06:40
sneepFeel free to suggest it to the guys in charge06:41
xionbox[m]They won't care at all06:41
xionbox[m]I tried to explain to my building manager that instead of closing the gym that only 20 of the 500+ residents use, they should instead have a rotating admittance where each resident gets 30 minutes a few times a week, and people who have been in contact with potential carrier must notify management and be banned from the gym until they full recover or prove that they were tested negatively 06:42
IronYlol06:42
xionbox[m]Which is a very small scale version of the system they have in Singapore06:42
IronYNot sure ur getting how that works06:42
ketaswe used that in 1991 when red army is suspected to interfere with newly redeclared independence of estonia06:43
ketasbig rocks :P06:43
sneepPeople get in contact with carriers all the time without noticing06:43
xionbox[m]sneep: I understand that 06:44
sneepAnyway, complicated policies don't work very well in general06:46
xionbox[m]I don't know, I'm just very concerned that I can't live a life at all if I'm locked in and disallowed from going outside or staying healthy. I'm an athlete, I need my endorphins. The oldest person I hang out with is 29, and they're in isolation too, not seeing anyone. Being selfish, but hey, I very likely won't be transmitting it to anyone. The kind of tracking they use in ROK and Singapore is what we need, not some06:47
xionbox[m]totally irrational methods were we lock people inside. Protect those who are often in contact with others (medical personnel and cashiers), disallow vulnerable people from going outside, but if a 20 or 30-odd years old healthy individual wants to stay isolated from anyone older and just wants to breathe fresh air every now and then, let them be06:47
IronYpeople need their chemo therapy06:47
IronYu do not need ur endorphins06:47
xionbox[m]Again, as I was told yesterday by folks in the military, we're in this shit for a year. People will go insane if everything is banned 06:48
IronYprepare for people to go insane06:48
xionbox[m]IronY: and those people absolutely need their medical treatment for sure.06:48
sneepAccounting probably wanted me to submit a coule things weeks ago and I'm only getting to it now. I'm sure there's an important reason they want their stuff immediately, but see, humans are bad at following policies06:48
sneepHumans are good at adjusting, I don't think people going insane will be a big problem06:50
ubLIXxionbox[m]: if you were told that you could save 2 million lives just by you personally spending a year in jail, would you say no?06:51
xionbox[m]ubLIX: Of course I wouldn't say no. But a single person won't cause that many infections, let alone that many deaths06:52
xionbox[m]Look at patient 31 who infected like two thousand people?06:52
IronY^ this is why they closed ur parks06:52
sneepWell, chances are it all came from a single person06:52
sneepOr maybe multiple people handled the same bat/pangolin/whathaveyou06:53
ketasthe idea is not to ban people from walking alone06:53
xionbox[m]Each person must be responsible for the few people they are in contact with. Select like 3 people that you are OK seeing for the next 6 months, no more. Don't see anyone else, and those people cannot be considered vulnerable06:53
IronYlol06:54
xionbox[m]ketas: but that's effectively what they are doing 06:54
ketasxionbox[m]: really?06:54
ubLIXxionbox[m]: but if everyone aged under 70 just carried on as normal, the isolation of those over 70 would certainly fail, and millions would die, including countless thousands your own age06:54
ketaswhere and why06:54
IronYketas: there blocking public parks, there free to walk alone at places people wont make hot spots06:54

ketasyuriwho is so secluded06:55
xionbox[m]ketas: by closing down the national forests and all hiking trails, that's exactly what they are doing. Again, the problem is the parking lot, but they're taking a sledgehammer to hang up a painting 06:55
ketasyuriwho: do you also feel happy outside now?06:55

ketasubLIX: is group training a thing?06:59
xionbox[m]IronY: I hear you, and I agree that people could have been more responsible. I suspect that the Parks&Rec service just saw the number of cars in the lot and got spooked. In fact, they should be looking at the proximity of people. If cars A and B are parked near each other, it does not necessarily imply that the people in both cars were in close proximity. One could have arrived earlier than the other, and more likely07:00
xionbox[m]than not (from my experience on hikes), these people never even crossed paths07:00
xionbox[m]sneep: Couldn't it be enforced with an app similar to ROK, Singapore or HK?07:01
IronYxionbox[m]: you will have a riot post mandated tracking07:01
IronYthen these problems will seem small07:01
ubLIXketas: well last i checked, in the UK, you can go out for exercise once per day; you can take a walk with someone ONLY if they live with you (eg family). stretching this to half a dozen athletes would be.. a bit of a stretch. you'd expect to get pulled by every cop that saw you07:01

IronYhttps://www.history.com/news/spanish-flu-second-wave-resurgence07:58
Volhard[m]The world fails to build on knowledge.07:58
Volhard[m]I'm think a second wave would be more devastating as people won't be able to afford another lockdown.07:59
IronYto be fair on context07:59
yuriwhoI have a theory about the immune response, antibody vs cell-mediated immunity and a second wave were it to arrive. Just a hypothesis really.07:59
IronYthe spanish flu happened on war time, closing the borders and socially isolating was not in the vocab07:59
Volhard[m]Hm... I don't see the USA strictly locking down soon.08:00
IronYour worst nightmare in a paragraph08:00
IronY"Somewhere in Europe, a mutated strain of the Spanish flu virus had emerged that had the power to kill a perfectly healthy young man or woman within 24 hours of showing the first signs of infection."08:00

IronYRisk chain management with a focus on security08:08
Volhard[m]I'm curious as to what that involves.08:08
IronYVolhard[m]: It is not nearly as cool as I just made it sound, but due to NDA thats about as good as I can describe it08:08
Volhard[m]Isn't there a generic explanation about the topic?08:09
IronYit is mostly data gathering via audits and sub contracting things like pen tests08:09
IronYBasically if company A wants to do biz with Company B they can come to us and we will let them know the risk score of company b08:10

IronYnot in the mood for video games, so the GPU may aswell be trying to save the world08:13
Volhard[m]Lol. I wish someone could explain.08:13
Volhard[m]tinwhiskers: I'm sure they couldn't bruteforce.08:14
IronYactually come to think of it I am going to throw every gpu I have at it now that my Hydro company suspended on peak vs off peak rates08:14
tinwhiskersVolhard[m]: usually engineered viruses are made by inserting new plasmids or germline sequences, but you can do "DNA printing" now and build an entire sequence from scratch (e.g. sequencing something then tweaking it as desired, then printing it)08:15
Volhard[m]tinwhiskers: And how do they simulate the protein workings? As far as I've known protein folding with lots of parts is a job for quantum computers. I might me wrong by a large margin.08:17
tinwhiskersYou can get kits to do genetic engineering at home, such as inserting the glowing genes from jellyfish into yeast. It's not very difficult08:17
IronYtinwhiskers: Let me get good at surface mount soldering, then Ill hop on over to gene sequencing lol08:17
Volhard[m]The $150 CRISPR kits?08:17
tinwhiskersWell, if you're just making minor changes like copying genes or sequences from other organisms you don't really need to do that08:17
tinwhiskersVolhard[m]: it's not using CRISPR08:17
Volhard[m]Ah SMD. I'm thinking of getting a hot air station/08:18

IronYif times get tough, ull have every work bench from every dystopian video game ever08:18
Volhard[m]tinwhiskers: So how? And what's the procedure behind the jellyfish thingy?08:18
Volhard[m]Get an off grid energy system first.08:19
tinwhiskersI forget the name of the process, but it's not dissimilar to PCR using forward and reverse primers to identify regions where you want to cut and insert the sequence08:20

mefistofelesVolhard[m]: no, exactly... even considering the 20 deaths it reports09:28
Volhard[m]They're not testing, but deaths should show up.09:28
mefistofelesthat would mean around 2000 cases09:28

PileOfDirt~32c09:42
mefistofelesfor Pakistan, apparently they are doing good testing, but they still have exponential growth09:42
Volhard[m]Temperature increases reaction rate. +10C => ~2x rate of chemical reaction. Sunlight gives out UV.09:43
PileOfDirtthe death rate is what im concerned with. its considerably lower there09:43
mefistofelesPileOfDirt: that's because they are doing extensive testing09:43
mefistofelesof course the more cases you test/confirm the less the death rate09:44
Volhard[m]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation09:44
PileOfDirtHow does testing save you?09:44
Volhard[m]Control spreads?09:44
mefistofelesPileOfDirt: most countries only test the most severe cases, so that's why the death rate is higher, because it's very under-represented09:44
PileOfDirtHow does that curb death rates among infected?09:44
mefistofelesthe WHO has already estimated the death rate to be around 1%, specially from data of countries that has done extensive testing, such as Korea, China , Hong Kong and SIngapore09:45
Volhard[m]Most infected don't die. By controlling growth, you reduce deaths. And you focus on an infected area with more resources.09:46
mefistofelesyou can check this in the links in the URL in the topic, I suggest "THe Lancet" article referenced there09:46

berndj(this is a good way to mine irc people's ages)23:32
Xipbin_bash, Yeah what's the chance of dying at 101 in general?23:32
bin_bashXip: yeah idk lol23:32

BrainstormNew from The Guardian at 22:25 UTC: Coronavirus US live: Trump signs $2.2tn stimulus bill after invoking Defense Production Act: Trump on requests for ventilators: β€˜I don’t believe you need 30,000’ US surpasses China for highest number of confirmed cases How US governors are fighting coronavirus – and Trump Did a New York Times article inspire [... want %more?] β†’ https://is.gd/tsB6sl23:33
LjLwell the bot simply doesn't try to answer the question of "how more likely are you to die of COVID than other things at a certain age"23:33
bin_bashyeah no kidding Xip hahaha23:33
LjLit assumes you *are* a COVID patient of that age, and estimates the chances of survival23:33
LjLi wouldn't say it's not scientific. it is not a complete model, like... just about every other model ever23:33
XipJesus christ, if you are 101 years old and you got corona, you will die 100%.23:33
bin_bashactually a guy in italy just survived23:34
XipIs it so?23:34
bin_bashyeah23:34
LjLXip, there was a guy in China who i think was exactly 101 and was smiling back among the recovered23:34
bin_bashbut i doubt he had a 67% chance of survival23:34
LjLfew things are ever 100%23:34
XipHmm.23:34
yn%cases Ohio23:34
Brainstormyn: In Ohio, US, there are 1137 cases, 19 deaths (1.7% of cases), 0 recoveries as of March 27, 22:17Z. See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=US for time series data.23:34
ynfinally, updated23:34
ynwoot23:34
XipMaybe there are different strains of the virus. 23:35
XipHas there been any more information regarding that?23:35
berndja 101-year-old's chances of dying within 3 weeks are reasonably low if they're not infected23:35
ryoumait could be logically consistent to say that 100% of things are 100%23:35
LjLthere is no evidence of different strains with different actual characteristics of infection23:35
LjLit was discussed shortly ago23:35
XipAlright23:35
ryoumawould you call that just genetic drift?23:36
XipYou guys, I think we are fairly safe. What is the typical IRC user? Like 40:ish? Maybe we are around 50?23:36
LjLberndj, in fact once you're past something around the average life expectancy, your chances of surviving another year go *up*, until at some point, well, the telomeres do their job or something23:36

LjLryouma, i don't know what i'd call it, there may be things we aren't able to appreciate in it23:37
XipIf someone is 101 here though, let me know, I want to talk with you! =)23:37
berndjLjL, i didn't know it went up! i thought your life expectancy just kinda tracks your age after some point, to the point that you always have "another 5 years to live" (or whatever the number is), but (slowly) decreasing23:38
ryoumaLjL: sounds more likely23:38
ryoumai.e. agree23:38
berndji thought that happens only near birth, where every day you survive increases your life expectancy by more than a day23:39
LjLberndj, it makes some intuitive sense i think. on average, when you're nearing average life expectancy, it seems clear you get more likely to die. but if you get *past* the life expectancy, that provides progressively more evidence that you're someone particularly healthy or otherwise predisposed to live longer23:39
PlanckWalkDoesn't seem to match Australian mortality data23:39
LjLryouma, but people are studying these things, it's not like they're being discounted. there's just a lot of unknowns.23:40
LjLPlanckWalk, i'm not describing mortality though, i'm describing your life expectancy when you're a given age23:40
LjLthose graphs look different from each other23:40
PlanckWalkI mean deriving hazard rate from mortality.23:41
PlanckWalkI.e. proportion of people who die in the subsequent year who are of a given age.23:42
PlanckWalkit keeps going up from about age 6.23:42
berndjthat was my understanding too PlanckWalk - with some localized exceptions23:44
