LjL | ap4lmtree, it's been recommended (maybe not by them) for a long time, it's just impractical | 00:53 |
LjL | but some workers, like my pharmacy's people, have had face shields for a long time | 00:54 |
LjL | actually they had face shields at first and then they switched to goggles | 00:54 |
LjL | i think it's a good idea to wear wide sunglasses or clear glasses if you can | 00:54 |
LjL | or goggles if you don't care about being stared at | 00:54 |
LjL | goggles may be uncomfortable, but on the other hand, unless your mask has a very good fit, it's likely to fog your glasses, so... | 00:55 |
LjL | although i actually use my glasses to get a better fit for my mask, push them down onto the nose tip | 00:55 |

LjL | Brainstorm never posts anything from Lancet but the one time it does, it made very sure to post something unrelated to COVID | 01:02 |
ap4lmtree | those two people said this for the rest of the population becasue covid-19 is becoming more omnious and out of control | 01:05 |
ap4lmtree | this is a change point | 01:05 |
LjL | they also get consistently ignored by the very executive they advise, though... | 01:06 |
LjL | so not sure they'll effect a practical change | 01:06 |
LjL | i think, at least with the kind of availability and reliability of face masks there is in italy, goggles would be overkill. mask failure is more likely than infection via the eyes | 01:07 |
LjL | but of cousre i can only be *cough* eyeballing this | 01:07 |

LjL | WHO officials also warned on Thursday that the coronavirus may cause long-term health problems, citing recent research out of Germany that suggests COVID-19 patients may suffer lingering heart issues after recovering from the disease. | 01:33 |
LjL | “When we say that the vast majority of people have a mild illness and recover, that is true. But what we cannot say, at the moment, is what are the potential long-term impacts of having had that infection,” Mike Ryan, the executive director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Program, said during a news briefing. | 01:33 |
LjL | LOL, the WHO is never wrong. by the way they say things, they are just never wrong | 01:33 |
LjL | "hey, it's true that it's 'mild' and that people 'recover'. but we never said the definition of 'recovery' excludes potentially lifelong heart damage!" | 01:34 |

ap4lmtree | mist or droplets in the air can hit the eye | 01:41 |
ap4lmtree | there is no studies or numbres of tranmission and receiving it throught he eye rather than mouth or nose | 01:41 |
ap4lmtree | is that not the concern? | 01:41 |

ap4lmtree | do you think covid-19 fatigue (syndrome) might be like lyme disease fatigue? | 01:57 |
ap4lmtree | and last as long | 01:57 |
LjL | i have no idea, but i don't think anybody else really does either | 02:04 |
LjL | yes, i guess the fact we have no clue how actually common the eye is as an infection route is a concern | 02:04 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, last i heard, occurrence of that had not been confirmed at all (but i probably heard that from the WHO so fwiw) | 02:05 |
MMAPUNCH | yeah from what I've been researching there is no evidence that it is foodborne | 02:06 |
MMAPUNCH | but there also isnt evidence that it ISNT foodborne | 02:06 |
LjL | but also no evidence that it's not. if i were to order food, i'd pick food that i can/should reheat | 02:07 |
MMAPUNCH | yeah for the past ~6 months I only had takeout once and I reheated it | 02:07 |
MMAPUNCH | but I've been going nuts about having some sushi LjL | 02:08 |
Brainstorm | Updates for Guadeloupe: +21 cases (now 265) since 2 days ago — World: +176 cases (now 17.8 million), +5 deaths (now 682898) since 22 minutes ago — Paraguay: +131 cases (now 5338), +2 deaths (now 49) since 23 hours ago — New York, US: +24 cases (now 443729), +3 deaths (now 32765) since an hour ago | 02:08 |
MMAPUNCH | I thought we'd have more studies out on whether foodborne transmission is possible by now... seems like there is none though | 02:08 |
PlanckWalk | I haven't seen studies either. It's not the sort of thing that's really testable without infecting real people. | 02:11 |
ap4lmtree | what percent of people who recovered from SARS covid have long term fatigue | 02:11 |
MMAPUNCH | PlanckWalk I would think they would be able to simulate the effect of stomach acids/bile on the virus at least | 02:12 |
PlanckWalk | Oh, it will definitely die in the stomach | 02:12 |
LjL | studies on live virus are dangerous and there really aren't so many of them out there | 02:13 |
LjL | even basic studies on airborne transmission are... basic | 02:13 |
PlanckWalk | The question is whether it can infect respiratory tract before it gets down there. | 02:13 |
LjL | and fraught with uncertainties on whether the machines emitting virus emit it similarly to real people | 02:13 |
MMAPUNCH | yeah | 02:13 |
LjL | besides, when authorities like the WHO or the EU say since there have been no confirmed cases of foodborne transmission, it's very unlikely that it can be gotten through food, i suspect that's a big venue of study funding that disappears instantly | 02:14 |
PlanckWalk | Yep, and whether water/saline/whatever fluids they use are similar enough to mucus/saliva/etc | 02:14 |
MMAPUNCH | so it seems like sushi is a "no go" for now :( | 02:14 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, make your own sushi :P | 02:15 |
PlanckWalk | I'd avoid cold foods prepared by someone else | 02:15 |
MMAPUNCH | I dont have the sushi grade salmon to make my own LjL | 02:15 |
LjL | but also, what is your risk acceptance? do you walk outside with only a mask but without goggles (just picking this up from earlier since Fauci recommended them)? | 02:15 |
MMAPUNCH | yeah no goggles for me but I do wear glasses | 02:16 |
PlanckWalk | I'd be surprised if the chance of transmission was high, but nobody really knows | 02:16 |
MMAPUNCH | lol | 02:16 |
MMAPUNCH | glasses > no glasses is better protection I am guessing | 02:16 |
MMAPUNCH | lol | 02:16 |
LjL | so am i | 02:18 |
LjL | it's hard to reason about these things where we're basically talking about the guesstimate change *of there being a significant chance* | 02:18 |
LjL | it's a bit too meta for my brain | 02:18 |
MMAPUNCH | the cases situation in my area is somewhat under control it seems | 02:19 |
LjL | also i can't type chance without typing change instead like half of the time | 02:19 |
LjL | that's another variable yeah | 02:19 |
Brainstorm | New from The Guardian: Coronavirus live news: WHO reports record global daily cases as easing on hold in England: Almost 300,000 new infections on Friday, led by US, Brazil and India; Boris Johnson warns of second UK lockdown; Victoria braced for more restrictions in Australia. Follow all the developments live → https://is.gd/r8XvOY | 02:19 |
MMAPUNCH | The sushi place I was going to go to would be in a nearby town that hasn't had any new cases in 10 days | 02:19 |
LjL | spray isopropyl on the sushi | 02:20 |
LjL | disclaimer: don't do that | 02:20 |
MMAPUNCH | lol | 02:20 |
MMAPUNCH | put sushi in the oven | 02:20 |
MMAPUNCH | =culinary experiment | 02:20 |
LjL | you could probably do worse | 02:21 |
MMAPUNCH | thing is there are ACE2 receptors in the intestines too | 02:22 |
MMAPUNCH | another variable | 02:22 |
LjL | yeah but that would mean it's not been destroyed by the stomach acids | 02:22 |
LjL | which seems unlikely to me | 02:22 |
LjL | they *did* find viral RNA in the guts... well at least in the stool | 02:22 |
de-facto | afaik there were some headlines about China stating something like it suspected reimport of the virus via salmon shipments. afaik when WHO was asked about that in press conference they downplayed that hypothesis but also said its unknown yet has to be investigated further. that was mid June or such afaik | 02:22 |
LjL | but that may have been from people who had it circulating in the blood | 02:23 |
LjL | well, if i had to guess on *one* food vector... frozen fish consumed raw would certainly come to mind | 02:23 |
de-facto | also about those stomach acids: afaik other CoVs are known to primary infect the gastrointestinal tract in animals, so not so sure if all CoVs get inactive in stomach or infected earlier in the throat or such | 02:24 |
LjL | or frozen anything consumed raw, for that matter. or just frozen anything, if someone handles it without washing their hands etc | 02:24 |
MMAPUNCH | de-facto i heard about the China salmon thing | 02:24 |
MMAPUNCH | also they said the same thing about Shrimp from Peru | 02:25 |
MMAPUNCH | or another south american country | 02:25 |
de-facto | idk about if its true or was investigated further, just that their statement made some headlines | 02:25 |
LjL | bottom line if you worry more than the average person about foorborne infection, sushi does seem like a bad idea | 02:26 |
MMAPUNCH | I havent had any food prepared outside in 6 months! | 02:26 |
LjL | on the plus side there's a TON of nommy cooked foods! | 02:26 |
MMAPUNCH | other than some cheeseburgers from McDs that I baked | 02:26 |
de-facto | heating food is quite an obvious idea and makes a lot of sense | 02:26 |
de-facto | or washing vegetables with soap then pealing them etc | 02:27 |
MMAPUNCH | any suggestions LjL? | 02:27 |
LjL | de-facto, said someone several dozens millennia ago | 02:27 |
de-facto | indeed | 02:27 |
MMAPUNCH | yeah I soap my veggies, disinfect the packaging of groceries or throw it out right away | 02:28 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, i'm bad at coming up with things, but i was just thinking of samosas yesterday for some reason | 02:28 |
MMAPUNCH | nice I had some not too long ago | 02:28 |
ap4lmtree | i need som egoggles to protect me | 02:28 |
de-facto | also washing hands when switching categories of potential contaminated things might make sense to compartmentalize spread via touching | 02:28 |
ap4lmtree | what kind of face fheidl do you guys use? | 02:28 |
ap4lmtree | i will get 2-3 goggles and wash them | 02:29 |
MMAPUNCH | I should get a face shield | 02:29 |
ap4lmtree | yes | 02:30 |
LjL | i would get goggles | 02:30 |
LjL | but really i will get neither, and just use my glasses | 02:30 |
ap4lmtree | fauci and brix recommend them for the rest of population yesterday because now is an inflaction point that everything is going to change | 02:30 |
MMAPUNCH | dont think I can wear my glasses under the goggles lol | 02:30 |
de-facto | safest thing would be to stay away from other humans as much as possible though | 02:30 |
LjL | that may be an issue | 02:30 |
ap4lmtree | https://www.ebay.com/itm/Protective-Eyewear-Clear-Lens-Safety-Goggles-Over-Glasses-Lab-Work-Eye-USA-STOCK/353147658837?hash=item52393da255:g:9BkAAOSwg~RfEO32 | 02:31 |
LjL | ap4lmtree, i haven't read about Brix, but Fauci went a bit short of "recommending them for the rest of the population" | 02:31 |
de-facto | in which scenarios? | 02:31 |
LjL | he specifically said that while you could do worse than using them if you have them available, they are not specifically recommended | 02:31 |
ap4lmtree | those are basic goggles, they aren not sporty like snow board goggles. i would like 3x sporty ones, but i guses i will get something like that ebay url | 02:31 |
MMAPUNCH | nice goggles seems like a decent price too | 02:31 |
MMAPUNCH | what is Brix? | 02:32 |
ap4lmtree | i get fastfood like wendys and taco bell for my dad. he keeps on liking me to get ice tea or gatorade with his food, but i will have to stop doing that and maybe confront him because covid can spread through liquid and soda fountain | 02:32 |
ap4lmtree | i have to get him ice tea in a bottle from supermarket | 02:33 |

MMAPUNCH | yeah in the bottle should be fine | 02:33 |
LjL | Dear American news sites, | 02:33 |
MMAPUNCH | GDPR lol | 02:33 |
LjL | kindly stop fucking saying that your European visitors are important to you, when in fact what you mean is exactly the opposite. | 02:34 |
LjL | Fuck you, dearlt, | 02:34 |
LjL | LjL | 02:34 |
MMAPUNCH | it really isnt hard to implement GDPR compliance | 02:34 |
LjL | just don't track people? :P | 02:34 |
MMAPUNCH | why arent you sleeping first of all | 02:35 |
LjL | because it's not 6am yet | 02:36 |
MMAPUNCH | I was living in the EU too up until March when I decided to come back home | 02:37 |
MMAPUNCH | not sure when I will be able to go back | 02:37 |
LjL | not soon if it were up to me! | 02:38 |
LjL | #nothingpersonal | 02:38 |
MMAPUNCH | not soon for sure | 02:38 |
MMAPUNCH | lower case counts here though! | 02:39 |
MMAPUNCH | compared to a lot of the EU | 02:39 |
LjL | on the other hand, Europe is about to have a big second wave, so | 02:39 |
LjL | where were you living? | 02:39 |
MMAPUNCH | somewhere in eastern europe | 02:40 |
MMAPUNCH | I am in Canada now | 02:41 |
LjL | oh | 02:45 |
LjL | if you're on the US then i cautiously retract my "not soon if it were up to me" pronouncement | 02:45 |
LjL | in, also | 02:45 |
MMAPUNCH | not US lol :P | 02:46 |
de-facto | LjL, unfortunately it looks like your statement about EU going to have a second wave is quite real, the countries not showing some signs of a second increase are the minority it seems | 02:47 |
de-facto | DANG :/// | 02:47 |
LjL | :( | 02:47 |
de-facto | hoping the politicians wont stick their heads in the sand for too long and go ahead and fucking act on this early wink of a problem arising before its too late, the data already shows some point in the past... what would that be like 2 weeks or so? | 02:50 |
de-facto | incubation + testing + reporting time? | 02:51 |
LjL | yeah, several weeks seems plausible based on how long italy's lockdown took to show any effect on the data | 02:53 |
LjL | but de-facto, we can't completely ignore the economic aspect either. GDP has gotten completely slaughtered by the first lockdown | 02:53 |
MMAPUNCH | are masks mandatory in most large cities in the EU? | 02:53 |
LjL | they are not mandatory outdoors in italy | 02:54 |
LjL | they were mandatory in lombardy, but that law expired | 02:54 |
LjL | they are mandatory indoors, though | 02:54 |
MMAPUNCH | I see | 02:54 |
MMAPUNCH | mask compliance here in Canada has been pretty high but they are not mandatory outdoors either | 02:54 |
LjL | the UK just made them mandatory indoors and compliance seems so-so | 02:55 |
MMAPUNCH | and it seems to have significantly stopped the spread | 02:55 |
de-facto | LjL, yeah and also people wont comply with contagion efforts that easily anymore i fear, for example in some eastern European countries they went for protesting when the government tried to raise containment measures | 02:55 |
LjL | mask compliance is probably 100% in places like supermarkets here, people will yell at you if you're without a mask | 02:55 |
LjL | it might have been less than 100% on milan's public transport, since they handed out a bunch of €400 fines one day | 02:55 |
LjL | (probably just on that one day, to set an example... can never do things consistently, sigh) | 02:56 |
de-facto | i am surprised from what i read about UK, seems they finally act proactive? that would be really beneficial learning from mistakes | 02:56 |
LjL | "proactive"? they've waited until they had more deaths than italy to say "oh uhm maybe we should have mandatory masks in shops from next month" | 02:56 |
MMAPUNCH | So sad to see that very few countries were proactive | 02:56 |
LjL | and the *personnel* in the shops does NOT have to wear masks | 02:56 |
MMAPUNCH | madness... | 02:57 |
de-facto | hmmm | 02:57 |
LjL | which is not only bad for the personnel, but also bad for general compliance, because if i am a dickhead who won't comply and an employee tells me off, and they are NOT wearing a mask, well, i'll just say "fuck off, you're not wearing one?!" | 02:57 |
LjL | and not even be so wrong | 02:57 |
MMAPUNCH | that doesnt make any sense | 02:57 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, when the UK makes less sensible decisions than Italy you know it's time for a fresh new government | 02:57 |
MMAPUNCH | I want to move to New Zealand once this is done | 02:58 |
LjL | but then elections are themselves trouble, so i dunno :\ | 02:58 |
de-facto | yeah and worst thing is personnel spends most time with customer contact, much bigger spread potential than a single customer | 02:58 |
Brainstorm | New from CNBC Health: (news): Coronavirus live updates: Fauci warns virus won't disappear, CDC says schools should reopen → https://is.gd/MMwW2J | 02:58 |
MMAPUNCH | schools reopening is a bit frightening too... | 02:58 |
LjL | de-facto, yes, at the supermarket here, personnel are mostly wearing FFP2, although i saw some with just surgicals, and there are also plexiglas panes that have been installed at the cash desks | 02:58 |
LjL | the cashiers also wear gloves for what it's worth | 02:59 |
de-facto | yup same thing here | 02:59 |
LjL | gloves are required on milan's public transport, which i find a bit silly | 02:59 |
MMAPUNCH | I haven't seen many people wearing FFP2 outside of a healthcare setting | 02:59 |
LjL | people who know how to benefit from gloves will wear them on their own accord; those who don't will just toss them onto the street and then the coast guard has found a surge of masks and plastic gloves in the sea | 02:59 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, it's not so easy/cheap to *get* an FFP2 ;( | 03:00 |
de-facto | gloves, hmm maybe even counterproductive if people dont wash them, here they provide disinfection stations in front of stores | 03:00 |
de-facto | so people could frequently sanitize their hands | 03:00 |
LjL | many are really KN95s emergency-approved as FFP2, and there are indications that KN95 and also N95 from China are not very protective | 03:00 |
LjL | but the main alternative in Italy is using these price-capped 50 cent masks which are really coming from fuck knows where, all sorts of factories have been repurposed to make them | 03:01 |
LjL | some are surgical-like, with three layers of supposedly the proper materials, but some are basically just thin cloth | 03:01 |
MMAPUNCH | I ordered some 640 thread cotton masks that have a filter compartment | 03:01 |
LjL | and by cloth i really mean... paper | 03:01 |
MMAPUNCH | with alleged HEPA filters lol | 03:01 |
LjL | uh | 03:01 |
LjL | i guess as long as it's a filter it's better than no filter | 03:02 |
de-facto | depends on what you do and where | 03:02 |
MMAPUNCH | It also has 7 layers of cotton lol | 03:02 |
LjL | O.o | 03:03 |
LjL | sounds breathable | 03:03 |
MMAPUNCH | sorry 2 layers of the mask and the 3 layer HEPA filter | 03:04 |
de-facto | e.g. if you do physically demanding work you need masks with less breathing resistance, if you are in high risk environment with lots of aerosol you need denser filters to lower infection risk to reasonable levels | 03:04 |
de-facto | so those two requirements collide in meat production plants... | 03:04 |
de-facto | just saying | 03:04 |
LjL | hmm | 03:06 |
MMAPUNCH | I only go to grocery stores | 03:06 |
MMAPUNCH | It sucks that ventilation hasn't been improved in most public spaces | 03:10 |
LjL | retrofitting UV lamps if you have air-recirculating HVACs seems like a good idea | 03:11 |
LjL | but good ideas like this may need to be mandated to actually happen on a large scale ;( | 03:11 |
de-facto | actually just putting a fan there would even make it more dangerous, e.g. if someone sneezes into that airflow, but removing the air and replacing it with fresh from outdoors or HEPA filtered (such as in airplanes) would make it more safe | 03:11 |
LjL | and then there'd probably not be enough qualified fitters! | 03:11 |
MMAPUNCH | what about ceiling fans de-facto | 03:12 |
LjL | de-facto, airplanes apparently replace the whole cabin air at a *very* high rate | 03:12 |
MMAPUNCH | I think it was once every 4-5 minutes in airplanes | 03:12 |
de-facto | btw that fan thing is not just a guess, i think there were some Chinese studies in a restaurant where a fan did blow aerosols much further than physical distancing | 03:12 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, i don't remember the exact figure i saw but yeah, it was on that order | 03:13 |
LjL | de-facto, let's also remember physical distancing as recommended by the WHO is 1m | 03:13 |
de-facto | also in the meat processing plants re-circulating air conditioning was in use blowing infectious aerosols at 10 °C all over the place | 03:13 |
LjL | one. meter. | 03:13 |
LjL | as recommended by the WHO, and, sadly, as implemented by Italy | 03:13 |
de-facto | afaik there were some infection chains found with something like 8m distance or so | 03:13 |
LjL | i'm hardly surprised | 03:13 |
MMAPUNCH | Is it still 1m? | 03:14 |
LjL | it doesn't take many studies to realize that whether it's cough and sneezes or even just breathing, it travels farther than 1m | 03:14 |
LjL | well, it's still 1m in Italy, honestly i haven't looked at WHO guidelines since the past... two weeks? | 03:14 |
MMAPUNCH | yeah its hard to still take them seriously | 03:15 |
MMAPUNCH | its 2m in Canada | 03:15 |
de-facto | 1 m is definitely much too close, are some politicians trying to trade for a compromise with the virus again? | 03:15 |
MMAPUNCH | I think anything higher than 2-3m it would be virtually impossible to abide by | 03:16 |
LjL | de-facto, i do want to point out that "some politicians" are just following WHO guidelines though | 03:16 |
de-facto | afaik in Germany its 1.5m which is still too close imho, but oh well :/ | 03:16 |
de-facto | yeah | 03:16 |
MMAPUNCH | I overheard my neighbor listening to some "Covid isnt real" YouTube videos by dr. clown fuck in her backyard | 03:18 |
de-facto | hopefully when more people are wearing masks and air hygiene is taken seriously containment will become more efficient | 03:18 |
Brainstorm | New from The Guardian: Coronavirus live news: WHO reports record global daily cases as easing on hold in England: Almost 300,000 new infections on Friday, led by US, Brazil and India; Boris Johnson warns of second UK lockdown; Victoria braced for more restrictions in Australia. Follow all the developments live → https://is.gd/r8XvOY | 03:18 |
LjL | de-facto, but meanwhile, we'll have to survive a second wave physically, psychologically and economically | 03:18 |
MMAPUNCH | you would think less people would believe in these conspiracies the more cases there are | 03:18 |
LjL | and on an unrelated note, there have been rumors that Lombardy is allocated only 200k flu vaccines this year when they have about 2.5m elderly to vaccinate (even if you don't count others who want it) | 03:19 |
LjL | it may not be true but it does seem possible that pharma companies are focusing on COVID efforts and producing less flu vaccine even though Fauci and friends i'm sure have said a thousand times it's very important to get a flu shot especially this year | 03:20 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, well i was thinking earlier, in this channel, or in the other one, we haven't actually had a single person claiming to be or have been a COVID patients, unless my memory is even worse than i think | 03:20 |
LjL | if i were a conspiracy kinda person i'd say CONSPIRACY! | 03:20 |
MMAPUNCH | I never got a flu shot before :( | 03:20 |
LjL | me neither | 03:20 |
LjL | i've never gotten a COVID shot before either, it's going to be a little scary, but i suspect i'm gonna have it anyway! | 03:21 |
MMAPUNCH | but I am sure at least some people know of someone who was infected | 03:21 |
MMAPUNCH | depending on location I guess | 03:21 |
LjL | yeah | 03:21 |
de-facto | we got some, they just did not stay, probably because we scared them away with discussing the dangers etc | 03:21 |
LjL | i know the GP of the place i'm currently in was infected, and barely made it | 03:21 |
LjL | although i met him driving today, he waved hello | 03:21 |
LjL | some people have good memory | 03:21 |
LjL | although i *do* end up in his office roughly every summer | 03:22 |
LjL | de-facto, hm :( | 03:22 |
MMAPUNCH | thats scary, I went to the optometrist not too long ago | 03:22 |
LjL | i probably wasn't there, but i see why they might get scared | 03:22 |
MMAPUNCH | it seemed pretty safe though. I think its been 2 weeks 8) | 03:22 |
LjL | i see this channel as, ideally, also a support place for patients or just people who are scared | 03:22 |
LjL | but the discussion / posted studies and news probably don't help with that | 03:22 |
LjL | so it's never really acted as that | 03:22 |
LjL | MMAPUNCH, afaik he got it from someone who later did die | 03:23 |
LjL | i also know people on the internet who know people who've had it, just no one who's actually had it themselves | 03:23 |
Brainstorm | Updates for Mexico: +8458 cases (now 424637), +688 deaths (now 46688) since 22 hours ago — World: +9384 cases (now 17.8 million), +693 deaths (now 683591) since an hour ago — US: +856 cases (now 4.7 million), +5 deaths (now 156747) since an hour ago — Texas, US: +501 cases (now 443026) since an hour ago | 03:24 |
LjL | yes, this. hi support group | 03:24 |
de-facto | yeah its difficult support yes but not medical advice from a bunch of internet nerds and since all those studies were discussed there would be a lot of temptation to go with try this and that and maybe also that... which would be dangerous so ... | 03:24 |
de-facto | discussing studies is much less dangerous, because its done out of curiosity and hardly can be misinterpreted as advice or such, its out of common interest about the latest news and research and all involved more or less know that its a long way to medical treatment for an in vitro study or even an in vivo proof of concept etc | 03:26 |
MMAPUNCH | internet nerds?? speak for yourself! | 03:27 |
MMAPUNCH | /s | 03:27 |
de-facto | yes i am :) | 03:28 |
de-facto | ok did not want to offend anyone with that term, what i mean is that identities in IRC are not verifiable | 03:29 |
LjL | definitely not medical advice | 03:31 |
LjL | but it says in the channel entrymsg that we cannot offer medical advice :P | 03:32 |
LjL | however there's a lot of support that can be given without doing that | 03:32 |
LjL | mutual support groups in general wouldn't exist if you always had to have a psychiatrist or a psychologist around, or i dunno, a doctor to say things about drugs and alcohol when you're in an addiction support group | 03:33 |
de-facto | yes thats true | 03:35 |
MMAPUNCH | gonna make butter chicken tomorrow with homemade naan bread | 03:39 |
MMAPUNCH | as a tribute to not having sushi | 03:39 |
LjL | :) | 03:41 |
de-facto | actually its pretty neat that people from all around the world come together here :) | 03:47 |
LjL | including from Tonga which has zero cases! | 03:50 |
de-facto | indeed :D | 03:50 |
MMAPUNCH | who is from Tonga?? | 03:51 |
LjL | no one, actually | 03:52 |
LjL | but someone is currently living there | 03:52 |
MMAPUNCH | I am moving there | 03:52 |
Brainstorm | Updates for St. Martin: +4 cases (now 53) since 6 days ago — World: +7 cases (now 17.8 million) since 45 minutes ago — New Zealand: +2 cases (now 1562) since 2 days ago — St. Barthelemy: +1 cases (now 8) since 6 days ago | 03:54 |
MMAPUNCH | New Zealand is the place to be | 04:07 |
tinwhiskers | MMAPUNCH: yes, I'm from NZ and living in Tonga so either way, pretty fortunate in terms of covid. | 04:34 |
MMAPUNCH | amazing, glad to hear | 04:35 |
tinwhiskers | Did anyone miss the news that Vietnam broke its winning streak and had its first covid deaths :-( | 04:35 |
tinwhiskers | I've just got back from an amazing kayak trip - other than getting horribly sunburnt I came across about 50 manta rays frolicking around on the reef. They're about 3-4 m wide - as big as a car. Amazing! My god the mouths on those things. | 04:37 |
tinwhiskers | one of them slapped my kayak as I drifted over. I didn't have any snorkelling gear but I'll see if I can go diving with them next time. | 04:38 |
tinwhiskers | I've heard about them and been searching for the exact spot for a while and now that I've found them and it's obviously the right season I'll be back out as soon as my sunburn gets better. | 04:39 |
tinwhiskers | Wow, looking at my track I paddled 9.2 km. No wonder I got sunburnt. | 04:52 |

ap4lmtree | should i get goggles or a face shield ? https://www.amazon.com/10-Pack-Reusable-Transparent-Anti-Fog-Adjustable/dp/B087B96NWF | 05:01 |
LjL | IMO, a face shield won't protect you from tiny aerosol | 05:04 |
LjL | goggles that form a seal would, of course together with an effective mask | 05:04 |
LjL | also uh why not both? | 05:04 |
ap4lmtree | what are some good goggles, then | 05:04 |
LjL | i mean most people really won't be bothered with either thing, but you seem to consider it important, they are not incompatible things to wear. | 05:05 |
phantomcircuit | ap4lmtree, depends on what you're doing | 05:13 |
ap4lmtree | going shopping at the grocery store or target | 05:14 |
tinwhiskers | I see Fauci was recommending goggles a couple of days back. | 05:14 |
tinwhiskers | (in addition to a mask) | 05:14 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, yes, Fauci and Birx both recommended goggles or a face shield, that's why ap4lmtree is obsessed with them now :P | 05:15 |
phantomcircuit | ap4lmtree, you want a mask and goggles, face shield is for like if someones gonna sneeze directly on your face | 05:15 |
swift110 | oh | 05:18 |
ap4lmtree | these are more staylist than the more rectangular ones: https://www.amazon.com/Gateway-Safety-6980-Glasses-Protective/dp/B00FA4RB12/ref=zg_bs_11312320011_1 | 05:30 |
ap4lmtree | ill get these: https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DPG82-11-DPG82-11CTR-Concealer-Anti-Fog/dp/B01A12J3GI/ | 05:35 |
LjL | that's rather prominent | 05:36 |
ap4lmtree | amazon is low on stock on some of these items, so it looks like the fauci and birx message spread | 05:37 |
LjL | in my experience amazon is on on stock of just about everything lately | 05:44 |
LjL | but that's italian/european amazon | 05:44 |
LjL | low* on stock | 05:45 |

de-facto | rmonten[m], nice congratz, yet still be careful (false negative tests are not uncommon depending on the incubation time) and stay away from others until you feel well again :) | 19:17 |

Brainstorm | de-facto: From www.health.harvard.edu: If you've been exposed to the coronavirus - Harvard Health | 19:19 |
de-facto | If you get the nasal/throat swab or saliva test, you will get a false negative test result: | 19:20 |
de-facto | 1) 100% of the time on the day you are exposed to the virus. (There are so few viral particles in your nose or saliva so soon after infection that the test cannot detect them.) | 19:20 |
de-facto | 2) About 40% of the time if you are tested four days after exposure to the virus. | 19:20 |
de-facto | 3) About 20% of the time if you develop symptoms and are tested three days after those symptoms started. | 19:20 |
de-facto | This possibility of a false negative test result is why anyone who has symptoms that could be due to COVID-19, or has been exposed to someone known to be infected, must isolate even if they test negative for coronavirus. | 19:20 |
