Raye | this was before covid | 16:50 |
Raye | the prediction is also saying theres going to be alot of natural disasters like floods, fire, famine and riots | 16:52 |
Raye | a war amounts the people | 16:52 |
Raye | the only thing I didnt get was this prediction was off a really old calendar which uses the solar alignments in china | 16:54 |
Raye | So im not sure if its predicting the whole world or just china | 16:54 |
Raye | cause they predicted 24 things, and 17 already happened | 16:54 |

ReGiStRaS | hello. I heard the covid vaccine that is being researched is only useful for those who contracted covid before. Is not effective against those who had no history or being contracted the virus. Is this true? | 19:33 |
bin_bash | which one? | 19:36 |
darsie | I thought vaccines by definition prevent disease, even if you hadn't had them before. | 19:42 |
ReGiStRaS | not sure which one but that's what i heard | 19:42 |
darsie | A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine | 19:43 |
qkall | ReGiStRaS: i think you're referring to the oxford 'vaccine' - i'm not 100% sure but i believe it isn't realyl a vac but more of a booster of sorts to train the body or soemthing | 19:45 |
qkall | but i'm not known for memory so ... take that with a grain of salt. | 19:45 |
bin_bash | darsie: that's not the case for all vaccines | 19:46 |
bin_bash | dengue fever vaccine only works if you're already had dengue fever | 19:47 |
darsie | k | 19:47 |
tinwhiskers | That's not quite correct | 19:49 |
tinwhiskers | It's only recommended if you've already had dengue sure to the risk of vaccine-related ADE. | 19:50 |
tinwhiskers | *due to | 19:50 |
tinwhiskers | If you get dengue a second time you often get ADE so if you've been infected once then you *really* want to get the vaccine since you already face the risk of ADE. | 19:51 |
bin_bash | hm is that what it is? I remember reading about it awhile ago and that they just don't give it if you've not had it because of effectiveness and increased risk | 19:51 |

NoImNotNineVolt | not really. because it's 23% of 0.03 micron particles. | 21:13 |
NoImNotNineVolt | and again, the concern is not aerosolized virus. | 21:13 |
NoImNotNineVolt | the concern is saliva. | 21:13 |
snake | woah woah woah woah what | 21:13 |
snake | i have been talking about respiratory droplets not aerosolized droplets | 21:14 |
NoImNotNineVolt | due to surface tension, saliva doesn't get meaningfully aerosolized. | 21:14 |
NoImNotNineVolt | respiratory droplets are >>0.03microns | 21:14 |
NoImNotNineVolt | and if we take a step back and reflect on what we're talking about... | 21:15 |
NoImNotNineVolt | it sure seems like we're two random idiots on irc trying to poke holes in the science that has in several independent ways demonstrated that cloth masks are sufficient to significantly decrease spread of ncov infections. | 21:16 |
snake | alright you got me there | 21:16 |
NoImNotNineVolt | in many ways, the exact mechanism of action is immaterial. | 21:16 |
snake | but i still think even if a cloth mask is not as good as an n95, it can still do some good | 21:16 |
NoImNotNineVolt | whether it's because the filtration media is sufficiently dense or the particles are sufficiently large or because his noodly appendage deflects all the ncov, it works. | 21:17 |
NoImNotNineVolt | i personally wear a surgical mask when i go out, because that's what i have. | 21:17 |
NoImNotNineVolt | i also have full-face respirators with p100 cartridges, but due to the valve, it only protects me, not those around me. | 21:17 |
snake | yeah i have some masks, and a cloth mask. the surgical masks are made with slave labor in china | 21:17 |
snake | sadly | 21:17 |
NoImNotNineVolt | the respirators are not for ncov, but because my dad used to be a hazmat driver and was paranoid. | 21:18 |
NoImNotNineVolt | that being said, i did buy a fresh batch of p100 cans when this shit hit the fan, because why not. | 21:18 |
snake | i wanted to get a 3m respirator but my dad wasnt cooperating | 21:19 |
snake | instead we got some cloth respirators that take little paper filters | 21:20 |

samalex | hi everyone | 22:11 |
NoImNotNineVolt | snake: they have various filters available, from n95 through p100. | 22:12 |
NoImNotNineVolt | as well as chemical scrubbers, but that's not relevant in this context. | 22:13 |
snake | huh, well i guess if its n95 its good enough, but i doubt they will sell me any because of the shortage huh? | 22:13 |
NoImNotNineVolt | their p100 filters would be inarguably better than an n95. i never understood why people would be okay with breathing a concentration of ncov that's "only" 5% as strong as otherwise. | 22:13 |
snake | NoImNotNineVolt, now you understand why i was bitching about the cloth masks earlier | 22:14 |
NoImNotNineVolt | if you're really concerned about protecting yourself, i'd go with a p100. n95 just seems like there's a dab of lipids between you and death from covid. | 22:14 |
snake | they're like n23 with a paper towel | 22:14 |
snake | yeah, idk, depends on the price | 22:14 |
snake | and whats available | 22:14 |
NoImNotNineVolt | but again, the point of cloth masks isn't to protect yourself. | 22:14 |
NoImNotNineVolt | they're not fit for that purpose. | 22:15 |
NoImNotNineVolt | even n95 masks are only fit for that purpose in the aggregate sense. if i was going to be dealing with covid patients, i wouldn't do it with anything less than a p100. | 22:15 |
snake | i see | 22:16 |
snake | if the purpose of a cloth mask is not to protect me then i wont wear a cloth mask anymore.. | 22:16 |
snake | (i will wear a cloth mask until i get my carbon filters and cloth respirator mask) | 22:16 |
snake | unfortunately the ones i got have a valve | 22:17 |
snake | which is bad | 22:17 |
NoImNotNineVolt | if everyone wore cloth masks, there would be no need for anything else. | 22:17 |
snake | NoImNotNineVolt, we cant have that | 22:17 |
snake | its literally impossible to make everyone do anything | 22:17 |
NoImNotNineVolt | i understand and acknowledge that limitation. | 22:17 |
snake | so i will protect myself... | 22:18 |
NoImNotNineVolt | in aggregate, you'll never get 100% compliance. | 22:18 |
NoImNotNineVolt | but on an individual level, i have very little patience for asshats :P | 22:18 |
snake | yeah me too | 22:18 |
snake | my brother has been deteriorating in his mental state | 22:18 |
snake | now he's against masks | 22:18 |
snake | i hope his rage posting on facebook gets the pedophiles | 22:19 |
NoImNotNineVolt | it's unfortunate how strongly one's view re: masks correlates with one's partisan leanings. | 22:19 |
snake | (he's into that qanon stuff) | 22:19 |
NoImNotNineVolt | sweet. | 22:19 |
snake | NoImNotNineVolt, yeah | 22:19 |
NoImNotNineVolt | qanon is just a symptom. | 22:19 |
NoImNotNineVolt | as a society, we're not investing enough into the flat earth society. | 22:19 |

samalex | they just pushed back our schools in our county in texas to September 7th like an hour ago... | 22:21 |
snake | samalex, everyone is kidding themselves that this will be over in a few months | 22:22 |
NoImNotNineVolt | that's optimistic. | 22:22 |
snake | even with full compliance, we will not be out of this for maybe a year | 22:22 |
samalex | snake, agree -- the morons thinking it's the flu and going about their business like nothing is happening will keep it going | 22:22 |
NoImNotNineVolt | we'll see if the president's apparent change in messaging will have any impact. | 22:23 |
snake | samalex, we need to open our country... but with protection would be better | 22:23 |
NoImNotNineVolt | feasibly, it could have a significant impact on mask compliance. | 22:23 |
samalex | Oh I think if we have a good lock down for 3-4 weeks and everyone follows it we'll get the numbers down. our county in march had a spike of about 20-30 cases, but during the lock down everyone for the most part listened and we went 2 months with no hospitalizations or deaths and just a trickle of cases. | 22:23 |
snake | the numbers will go down... but then after the 3-4 weeks they will go back up again without protection | 22:24 |
snake | that is what i think anyways | 22:24 |
samalex | even after opening in early May (which was a huge mistake) we had low cases in Texas until after memorial day and opening the bars. Now our county is seeing 100-200 cases a day and positivity rate of 23% | 22:24 |
snake | samalex, damn | 22:24 |
dzho | wow 23% | 22:25 |

samalex | yeah i'm looking at the 7 day positivity rate over total tests with results and positive vs negative. Luckily our local health district posts all this daily in a spreadsheet. | 22:30 |
samalex | even shows how many tests are still pending. | 22:30 |
samalex | problem is our county of 255K people has 3500 cases and 77 in the hospital, 14 on vents.. On 5/31 we had 115 cases, most recovered, and zero in the hospital. | 22:32 |
samalex | And we're up to 24 deaths :( was slow but now it's like 1-2 a day | 22:33 |
NoImNotNineVolt | are tests still garbage? | 22:35 |
NoImNotNineVolt | if so, the positivity rate might be more strongly correlated with testing procedures, sample prep/storage, etc. than actual prevalence. | 22:35 |

samalex | not sure about tests being garbage. before they were only testing people with symptoms, and now they're more open to testing if someone has been exposed to it through family member or co-worker or tracing. problem is in our area there are too many cases for the tracers to work. | 22:42 |
samalex | they could do it without issue with a few hundred cases, but not with over 2000 active cases | 22:42 |
samalex | also our two county hospitals put out notice that they have plenty of beds but not enough staff or resources to keep things going at this rate | 22:43 |
