SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

The science there sounds pretty legit. Maybe we get volunteers to donate a shitload of their blood if they have the antibodies.

3 weeks for me. But I need to go shopping in the next couple of days, so I’ll need to shave in order to fit my mask properly.

University hospital near me is also trying to do this. Doctors are also well groomed:

Good Christian DeSycophantis doing what Jesus would do in this situation

FFS the only state that is getting the federal resources and supplies they requested can’t possibly be put out to attempt to save lives, that’s a bridge too far

I’ve imagined a tight chest a few times. Could easily be the placebo effect. Likely that they didn’t even have CV. Imagined the disease and the cure.

(Note the drug may help- totally separate from this guys claims. He is a walking talking example of why controlled studies are needed)

I have a tight chest all the time. I’ve been eating ice cream and chips for 2+ weeks though, not sure if related.

This is a common stopgap last resort treatment for a variety of things. They used it on Ebola.

Iirc from the 1918 flu book someone was trying to get horses to make antibodies (and I don’t think they really knew much in detail at that time). I don’t think it worked.

Here is a success story from the 30s. No control so probably hard to judge definitively.

What if we get a bunch of pangolins and infect them and steal their blood.

Up next, more douchebag governor news:

As local officials shrink jail populations due to coronavirus, Texas Gov. Abbott blocks release of some inmates who can’t pay bail

Great time for the water to be shut off, panic has set in.

Cant use my spare bottles yet, no coffee, no shit. :joy:

Chinese medicine is on it!

I’m as fascinated by the NY Times “typical New Yorker” pieces as anything else they put out. That looks extremely unsafe lol.

My beard is no longer close to kempt. I also really need a haircut.

Gonna look like a caveman soon.

Interestingly they took this down and replaced it with a much less scary youtoobe that doesn’t seem to have the same unhappy ending.

Maybe they didn’t want to start a panic.

Here’s the original:

Is that some weird camera optical illusion or do the woman and her kid both have freakishly large feet?

4 Trump hands would fit in each of that woman’s snowshoe feet.

Probably some kind of fish eye effect. Makes the room feel smaller.

But holy shit she must be thrilled about those Frankenstein feet in the NY Times.

One of my best friends actually worked on the USNS Mercy a decade ago and he finds this entire thing so fucking funny. All he talked about is how big a shit hole this boat is and how people are going to be shocked when they go into it expecting something nice only to find out its a 45 year old boat originally designed to be an oil tanker. Like he can’t even imagine people find this thing cool or that they’d want to give it a hero’s welcome when it comes into port like its an aircraft carrier coming back from a year deployment.
