ryouma | enormous equalled 60,000 in july, with concerns that this was discouraging to those who would otherwise seek tests | 00:07 |
---|---|---|
LjL | ryouma, hmm, well, had it been 60000 now, it's "only" 6 days worth of backlog | 00:08 |
LjL | but granted they were testing more per day in july | 00:08 |
LjL | more than twice as much, >20k per day | 00:08 |
LjL | article about Trump being worse than stated: "One salient piece of information is the oxygen levels in Mr. Trump’s blood. Doctors said his level was 96 percent while walking around on Saturday morning. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent." "... although Mr. Trump’s levels were “not perfect,” some older people with other medical conditions can have levels around 96 percent when they are walking around." | 00:11 |
LjL | so, i often have 96, and so do my parents, are we dying? or is the fact those statements seem slightly contradictory an indication i shouldn't infer medical information from media? | 00:11 |
ryouma | that's not low i think | 00:11 |

ryouma | i went but need to go again. need to find a better dentist. have narrowed down more or less but having touble deciding and making appt. | 02:18 |
LjL | ryouma, at some point if you really have that much trouble deciding, toss a coin, but you can't have tooth decay just continue uncontrolled | 02:18 |
LjL | you have heightened sensitivity to pain don't you? surely you don't fancy severe tooth pain | 02:19 |
LjL | sorry to be harsh, but i think you know you "should have gone" what is it, weeks ago? months ago? i lose sense of time to be honest, but anyway, for quite a while | 02:20 |
ryouma | i did go. office had big issues. i have severe bone loss and stuff that was supposedly filled has cavities. my question now is whether to take antibiotics until i can go or whether it is efven infected. erring on not taiking them but if i lose this one tooth which dentist said would last biut dud not, then chewing is a problem. | 02:24 |
metro | no dentist for me I scraped my car and need autobody work | 02:24 |
ryouma | if the data can be trusted then arizona is past its "cases level worse than italy and ny and everyplace else" peak so i should have less issue. i do have severe cognitive issues that are getting in the way and when stress drops i hope to have this figured out in the next few d. | 02:26 |

LjL | ryouma, so you went... once, or twice? i knew you went once, but i thought this was a separate problem now | 02:27 |
ryouma | a mobile dentist that had messed around with us long ago (not returning calls etc, not even giving promised diagnoses and x-rays but glad to take money for them) has contacted us and i might wsee them in a few days. but they have very bad covid policies. | 02:28 |
ryouma | i went in spring twice and a monght ago once i think | 02:28 |
ryouma | this is very bad for my body not covid-related | 02:28 |
LjL | ryouma, i know, but so is having rotting teeth :\ | 02:28 |
ryouma | yes i need it taken care of | 02:30 |
ryouma | the mobile said they test thmselves once per month which is useless imo. i would be in a van (not an office). that would take less out of me not covid-related. but another denitst that you go to has likely better policies and equipment. | 02:30 |
LjL | ryouma, if it were up to me i'd eschew the mobile. just feeling. | 02:30 |
ryouma | 3 new cavities, old office had said no problems. one was one that i complained about in december a tthe time it was filled i felt a small hole and said is this a problem and was told no.... | 02:30 |
LjL | 3 new cavities seems like a lot | 02:31 |
ryouma | or was it in spring when he filled the others of what would be 8 total i am getting confused | 02:32 |
ryouma | i want this filled not extracted and i thinka root canal would be a bad idea | 02:32 |
LjL | ryouma, i think last time you mentioned this you said something about a dentist using UV in between patients | 02:33 |
LjL | ryouma, well if a root canal is necessary, then it's either a root canal or an extraction, you can't just "not do" a root canal when it's required | 02:33 |
LjL | of course if the dentist *says* it's required but it's not true, well, he's a fraud | 02:34 |
LjL | but i hope that doesn't often happen | 02:34 |
ryouma | she would be good for a non-mobile but she never does work on the same day of diagnosis which means taking more out of me | 02:34 |
LjL | no exceptions? i assume you've discussed your situation to some extent | 02:34 |
ryouma | i suspect my upper right was taken out and might not have had to be. that is the one that he did not give me the tooth. was partner of dentist who filled many in one visit. (filling many was for my sake but he booked through them fast.) | 02:35 |
LjL | although to get good (and expensive) fillings when they are big (like when you've had a root canal), they need to be lab-made, anyway | 02:35 |
LjL | so they physically cannot be, uh, installed, on the same day | 02:35 |
ryouma | i am not doing the calling as i cannot talk on phone sop idk if exceptions | 02:35 |
LjL | emails? | 02:35 |
ryouma | my brain goes haywire trying to plan and send the email in contrast to how i might seem on irc when i am able to talk on irc. it would take me months. | 02:36 |
ryouma | "just send it no big deal" is an obvious response that doesn't take into account my brain's actual workings in practice | 02:37 |
LjL | well, the objective fact is that either you do it, or you trust someone else with doing it and with the results | 02:37 |
ryouma | right | 02:37 |
LjL | (or you just don't do anything until it's too late and a root canal or extraction actually is the only remaining option) | 02:38 |
ryouma | anyway it is their policy. also they do some things only early in day, and that would take a lot out of me | 02:38 |
ryouma | i have other dentist optioins and i am going to just decide among them i think while keeping this other one as a backup option | 02:38 |
LjL | okay | 02:39 |
LjL | just don't drag it out too long if at all possible | 02:39 |
ryouma | right i don't want to at all | 02:39 |
LjL | the longer, the worse your tooth/teeth will be | 02:39 |
ryouma | yes, i ahve had to increase carbamazepine levels a lot past few days. tn is correlated highly with tooth status in my case. if teeth ok only need half tablet. if bad need 4. | 02:40 |
ryouma | so it is an indicator that something is wrong besides the sensitivity and low level pain | 02:41 |
LjL | carbamazepine almost killed my mom, fwiw :+ | 02:42 |
LjL | she's on pregabalin now instead | 02:42 |
LjL | (for TN) | 02:42 |
LjL | but yes i know you have a bad experience with pregabalin too | 02:42 |
ryouma | i have never been tested for it | 02:42 |
ryouma | for carbamazepine | 02:42 |
ryouma | yes double vision for week from pregabalin | 02:43 |
LjL | it wasn't an allergic reaction... it can cause low sodium apparently, and her sodium got low enough she nearly got a heart attack | 02:43 |
ryouma | weeks* from one dose | 02:43 |
LjL | was taken to ER where they injected sodium for a night | 02:43 |
LjL | her cardiac stress markers were elevated | 02:43 |
ryouma | i should ask my doctor about testing. i have had that task on my many thousands long todo list for a long time. | 02:43 |
ryouma | ah, that one was ozone. the uv one was another i am considering and will porobably coose. they also have a dveice you bite on that sucks out. | 02:46 |

Brainstorm | New from CNBC Health: (news): Ron Johnson is the third Republican senator to test positive for coronavirus in two days → https://is.gd/M7K5kf | 02:48 |
ryouma | idk if any of my choices use dental dams | 02:48 |
LjL | aside from the obvious benefits that are now clearly recognized by any self-respecting dentist, it *might* also act as a barrier to some droplets | 02:48 |
LjL | unlikely, since the dentist would already be wearing a mask | 02:48 |
LjL | but maybe | 02:48 |
LjL | but the other benefits are worth it anyway | 02:48 |
ryouma | i think trying to get a dental dam would be refused by the person doing the calling and i am already hoping she will call the non-mobiles if it comes to that. and would make it more copmlex for me to decide. | 02:52 |
ryouma | i do have "ask about dental dam if you remember to" on list to remind me what to do when prepare for leaving house. but getting permanently harmed by leaving house and being jostled in car and being vertical etc. is a problem. covid is a problem too. weighing van is weighing that. and also basic trustworthiness of dentist. | 02:54 |

LjL | zini[m], no, you'd have to ignore it wholesale. if you can ignore it in the room only, then you could theoretically still PM it for numbers | 04:51 |
LjL | zini[m], i'm open to feedback as to what feeds may be more annoying than useful, though. although i can't really control the specific news items, i can just turn a particular RSS feed on or off. | 04:52 |
LjL | bodhisat, it's not a democracy but if i just ignore people's feedback entirely i end up with an empty channel | 04:55 |
LjL | so i don't see the point of that comment, honestly. i know that other people aren't fans of the news feeds either. if you're on IRC, the topic says you can join ##coronavirus for less news and more science chat, but that's a tad more awkward on matrix | 04:56 |
LjL | still, i am fairly confident if there *was* more talk here (as in, any at all, since it's very quiet lately), then the bot's "tweets" would almost vanish | 04:56 |
ryouma | fwiw i like the news feeds a lot but don't see the point of the automatic numbers | 04:57 |
zini[m] | <ryouma "fwiw i like the news feeds a lot"> i agree with this | 04:57 |

zini[m] | <LjL "zini, didn't you just say you di"> maybe i'm mixing up bots, but i'm fine when people summon it by saying 'usa cases' | 04:58 |
LjL | zini[m], ryouma just said that he's fine with the *news* i.e. what you called "tweets" (although they aren't tweets in any shape or form) but sees less of a point in the numbers | 04:59 |
LjL | it's like... almost the opposite of what you said | 04:59 |
zini[m] | like sometimes ive seen ppl summon it in order to raise a point, like: | 04:59 |
LjL | yes, i know what you meant | 05:00 |
zini[m] | 'usa cases' we have more cases that italy 'italy cases' | 05:00 |
ryouma | zini[m]: and i share that it is ok when %cases is called butg idk wha the is saying either | 05:00 |
zini[m] | i think me and ryouma: are talking about: | 05:00 |
zini[m] | "Updates for World: +27513 cases (now 35.2 million), +766 deaths (now 1.0 million) since 3 hours ago — Argentina: +11129 cases (now 790818), +196 deaths (now 20795) since a day ago — Mexico: +4863 cases (now 757953), +388 deaths (now 78880) since 23 hours ago — US: +4756 cases (now 7.6 million), +34 deaths (now 214277) since 3 hours ago" | 05:00 |

bodhisat | LjL: shrug, guy picks 1 post, and says "i'm not a fan" w/ no explanation :) | 05:01 |
zini[m] | which it posted like ~5 posts ago | 05:01 |
LjL | zini[m], you just said earlier that you weren't a fan of... and you provided a piece of *news*, not those automatic numbers | 05:01 |
zini[m] | my preference is not to see the automatic news | 05:02 |
LjL | democracy or not, i cannot possibly improve things if i'm utterly confused as to what it is that you want improved | 05:02 |
LjL | the automatic NEWS or the automatic NUMBERS? those are different things | 05:02 |
LjL | the bot does three things | 05:02 |
LjL | 1) the RSS feeds | 05:02 |
zini[m] | however, not seeing automatic numbers is a compromise that is closer | 05:02 |
LjL | 2) the automatic number updates | 05:02 |
LjL | 3) the manual %cases calls | 05:02 |
zini[m] | i like 3. | 05:02 |
zini[m] | i don't like 1. | 05:02 |
zini[m] | i don't like 2 very much, but don't mind it as much as 1 | 05:03 |
LjL | okay. well, i'm not going to remove 1 and 2, i can make 1 post less stuff if we identify some particular RSS feeds in it that are low quality | 05:03 |
ryouma | i like 1 a lot :) | 05:03 |
zini[m] | so 3 > 2 > 1 imo | 05:03 |
zini[m] | ryouma: you don't like 2 right? | 05:03 |
ryouma | right | 05:03 |
ryouma | or at least don't understand them | 05:03 |
LjL | well, i like that one, and it keeps me informed on when there is an update in the numbers of a given country | 05:04 |
LjL | and since i follow various countries i do want that information as soon as it is available | 05:04 |
zini[m] | haha so the 3 of us all like different things | 05:04 |
ryouma | in principle you could have 3 nicks | 05:04 |
LjL | and it's often just the number of new cases/deaths since the previous days, although it can be more confusing depending on whether a country posts numbers more than once a day | 05:04 |
zini[m] | ryoma - 1 | 05:05 |
zini[m] | ljl - 2 | 05:05 |
zini[m] | me - 3 | 05:05 |
LjL | ryouma, in principle i could also make the post post NOTICEs instead of PRIVMSGs, which is the standard on Matrix and makes it easy there to "ignore all bots", however, if i do that (i checked), IRC people will get mad | 05:05 |
zini[m] | <ryouma "in principle you could have 3 ni"> 3 nick names sounds good | 05:05 |
ryouma | well i like 3 too | 05:05 |
LjL | i'll never make everybody happy, or even close | 05:05 |
zini[m] | do u know how i can ignore brainstorm for just this room? | 05:06 |
ryouma | in case it is not clear, i am only suggesting a possibility and not asking for any action to be taken | 05:06 |
LjL | no, i don't | 05:06 |
zini[m] | ohh hmm | 05:06 |
LjL | there's barely any chat here these days, except me telling ryouma to go to the dentist | 05:07 |
zini[m] | btw can brainstorm be added to other channels? like the t2bots | 05:07 |

LjL | it will still be in our lives quite cogently, if hopefully not *as* much as now | 05:12 |
ryouma | s/cogently/something | 05:12 |
LjL | the disease and the virus aren't going to go away completely for decades. fewer people will be interested to chat about them maybe, but i'm okay with small channels. | 05:12 |
zini[m] | i got a maybe good plan! | 05:13 |
zini[m] | if covid-21 emerges - ppl who are immune/resistant to covid-19 aren't immune to covid-21 - this room would pick up a lot again | 05:14 |
LjL | well i hope it doesn't and this room shrinks | 05:14 |
LjL | but it's possible | 05:15 |
zini[m] | wouldn't something like covid-21 emerge? | 05:15 |
LjL | i don't have a crystal ball. it might. mutations are random | 05:15 |
zini[m] | all it has to do, is evolve enough so that covid-19 immunity/resistance doesn't matter | 05:15 |
zini[m] | there must be at least a few trillion covid19 cells scattered about | 05:16 |
zini[m] | so thats quite a lot of attempts it has | 05:16 |
ryouma | i think my reaction to the data updates for my own purposes is that to put it in context you would have to remember previous numbers or non-listed countries and to me the context is best conveyed in charts like line or pie | 05:16 |
zini[m] | ooo a text based graphing brainstorm could be cool | 05:17 |

Brainstorm | New from r/Coronavirus: Coronavirus: COVID-19: social dilemmas about protective measures → https://is.gd/C3qd1A | 05:19 |
LjL | ryouma, well for countries that particularly matter to me, i do remember the previous number, plus, the number is in bold if it's the highest ever recorded (or in other cases where it's very big), and the bot uses a sorting method which is a bit involved but which results in prioritizing the countries where the thing is being bad | 05:19 |
ryouma | but still | 05:19 |
LjL | zini[m], it is not clear yet if immunity to covid-19 is long-lasting, so it may not even have to mutate to something different | 05:19 |
bodhisat | maybe Covid can slow down Global Heating Crisis | 05:20 |
LjL | zini[m], but anyway, if (and it's a big if, for sure), vaccines turn out to be nearly 100% effective, then the virus is either in a vulnerable host and doesn't care and just reproduces, or if it's in a vaccinated host it has pretty much zero chances to survive and reproduce. the issue may arise if there's still a limited but significant amount of virus growth in vaccinated individuals | 05:20 |
ryouma | bodhisat: it did briefly | 05:20 |
zini[m] | true, but antibodies to all pathogens i know of last at least a while, so i'd be surprised if covid was different | 05:21 |
bodhisat | ryouma: I fear if they fix CV, it's just 'into the fire' | 05:21 |
bodhisat | out of the frying pan .. | 05:21 |
ryouma | bodhisat: with mutations? | 05:21 |
zini[m] | anyone think trump will die from covid19? | 05:22 |
LjL | zini[m], well, there are other diseases where what you say is true and yet they did not mutate to defeat immunity... so while i fully acknowledge it's a possibility, i don't understand why you say "why wouldn't it". if other viruses haven't done it, why is it so inevitable? | 05:22 |
ryouma | my understanding is that it isn't just antibodies but t-cell immunity also | 05:22 |
LjL | ryouma, that's not been shown though, it's... a hope | 05:23 |
ryouma | right | 05:23 |
LjL | it's a reasonable hope because it happens with other diseases | 05:23 |
ryouma | which do the vaccines spur? | 05:23 |
LjL | but there was also the hope it'd die down with the summer, and it didn't happen at all | 05:23 |
LjL | ryouma, oh they may spur both, depending on which part of the virus they "replicate"... however i think with all vaccine trials, they've only looked at antibodies :\ | 05:24 |
ryouma | right i didn't believe the summer thing | 05:24 |
LjL | looking at t-cells is probably a fair bit harder | 05:24 |
zini[m] | well to answer myself | 05:24 |
zini[m] | i bet my reputation that trump wont die | 05:24 |
zini[m] | from covid | 05:24 |
bodhisat | zini[m]: no point speculating on that | 05:24 |
zini[m] | 19 | 05:24 |
ryouma | til they don't look at t cells | 05:24 |
LjL | once again, i have no crystal ball | 05:25 |
bodhisat | zini[m]: are you aware of the CV-19 risk profile for 70 year olds? | 05:25 |
zini[m] | <bodhisat "zini: no point speculating on th"> morbid curiosity/being edgy :p | 05:25 |
bodhisat | I believe it's 2-16% | 05:25 |
bodhisat | Boris made it to the ICU and survived to further ravage the UK so | 05:26 |
zini[m] | <bodhisat "zini: are you aware of the CV-19"> yea, but is that accounting for his polyclonal antibody treatment and dexatrasome? | 05:26 |
zini[m] | (i don't recall offhand what treatments he's had so far) | 05:26 |
bodhisat | zini[m]: as w/ everything , whatever they say is worth Zero | 05:27 |
bodhisat | his PCP is a D.O. pro- hydroxy | 05:28 |
LjL | as far as i heard he's getting a cocktail of two monoclonal antibodies, remdesivir, as well as vitamin D, zinc, and famotidine | 05:29 |
LjL | i like how the former isn't approved even for emergency use, but hey, he's the president | 05:29 |
ryouma | i thought you wer3e supposed to stop vitamin d when you got symptoms | 05:29 |
LjL | i think no one really knows | 05:29 |
ryouma | it can be used off label can't it? | 05:29 |
zini[m] | "A meta-analysis of seven clinical trials of critically ill COVID-19 patients, each treated with one of three different corticosteroids found a statistically significant reduction in death.[25] The largest reduction was obtained with dexamethasone (36% compared to placebo).[25][26]" | 05:29 |
LjL | ryouma, no because there isn't an on-label use, it's not FDA-approved at all | 05:30 |
zini[m] | crazy guy still pushing hydroxy, | 05:30 |
ryouma | and lest anybody go out and take famotidine i /think/ that was really high doses? | 05:30 |
zini[m] | trump secret hydroxy shill | 05:30 |
LjL | ryouma, "off-label" meaning using something that already exist and is already approved for a different indication, but these monoclonal antibodies are experimental and COVID-specific | 05:30 |
bodhisat | the monoclonal should only be being given in a clinical trial, so seems like malpractice to me | 05:30 |
zini[m] | <bodhisat "the monoclonal should only be be"> "presidental malpracice" TM | 05:31 |
ryouma | oh i thought you were talking about remdesivir but yeah i see now. and i did not know regardless about hte monoclonal abs. | 05:31 |
bodhisat | same with chris christie telling his MD to admit him for asthma, try that at home | 05:31 |
zini[m] | Is dexamethasone still the best treatment humanity has? | 05:31 |
LjL | https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/03/health/Covid-trump-treatments.html discusses the monoclonal antibody treatment | 05:32 |
bodhisat | law&order for everyone else, social medicine for the cronys | 05:32 |
LjL | zini[m], i think dexamethasone is pretty specific to when there's a confirmed "haywire immune system" reaction | 05:32 |
LjL | in other circumstances it may not do much of anything | 05:32 |
LjL | but don't quote me | 05:32 |
zini[m] | dexamethasone only works if on oxy/icu i think | 05:33 |
ryouma | meaning cytokines? | 05:33 |
LjL | mostly meaning cytokines | 05:33 |
zini[m] | if anyone wants to watch with me | 05:33 |
zini[m] | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvspgun7nl4 | 05:33 |
LjL | i need to sleep, it's half past five | 05:33 |
