New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the state's health department planned to begin treating the sickest coronavirus patients with antibody-rich plasma extracted from the blood of those who've recovered.

A dramatic spike in suicides between 2008 and 2010 can be linked with the economic crisis, according to a study published today in the British Journal of Psychiatry.

Researchers from the University of Oxford compared suicide data from before 2007 with the years of the crisis and found more than 10,000 “economic suicides” associated with the recession across the U.S., Canada and Europe...

This article has some pretty cool visual modeling of viral outbreaks like the coronavirus.

The function itself changes by social distancing. Just like these different exponential functions. The Red is the steepest curve. (Bigger Function) We can have it more like the Black function if we continue social distancing. Or more like the Red function if we don't.

 

Shiiit. Last time I had the flu in subzero weather in Cleveland it was brutal but not like this. I don't want this.

'Self-swab' coronavirus tests just approved by the FDA work just as well as diagnostics that use samples taken by doctors or nurses, study finds

https://mol.im/a/8156429

• More than 500 coronavirus patients from OptumCare, part of UnitedHealth Group were studied
• Self-administered tests detected COVID-19 in more than 90% patients, which is the same rate that clinician-administered tests detected the virus
• The self-swab test allows people to swab the front part of the nostril and mid-nose rather than deep inside the nasal cavity
• Researchers say the self-swab tests are less invasive and preserve personal protective equipment such as gloves and face masks

(He's incorrect about the cruise ship comment, because that virus found was inactive and not communicable.).

 

Im in the Navy and a good friend of mine is on a carrier right now. They have a few cases on there and he’s basically stuck. The command I’m at tells us to practice “social distancing” yet we still go to work. Granted only half the command works it’s still aggravating to go out in the world and expect to do these things.

 

Thank you for your service.

It's a scary thing for sure. There are many people who are still working in situations where they are in close quarters.

So many people are whining about being bored (some were 2 days into the whole thing) yet so many are still working and/or going to school and many of us are working even more than usual because of all this. It's too bad people are bored and upset that their favorite things are closed, but it's really irritating that so many are out there not taking things seriously and putting other people at risk.

 

Luckily I'm freelance and have always worked from home. I'm locked down as tight as I can be. I was cavalier about this whole thing until healthy people started dropping like flies. I now even personally know a guy my exact age who has it, full-blown. Luckily he's past the worst of it and is now slowly on the mend. No thanks, don't need COVID-19 in my life.

 

What's your rate? I was an AT

 

I was in Korea during the SARS issue. Things were slightly similar. They were pretty clear on not eating and buying things on the economy there. I was in the Army, I couldn’t imagine what the Navy is going through at the moment. This is probably the best time to be on a submarine (assuming everyone on board is not infected).

 

Good guide..What and When.

I scored today a 24 pack of double roll ass paper and 48 eggs.

God been good to me.

 

I was so excited when I was able to get eggs, chicken, and TP this week! 3 females in the house - NEED TP!!

Things seem to be stocked right now, but it's also the last week of the month. I'm thinking with all the panic people are really broke and on the first it will be crazy again....and when the relief money hits. It will be interesting to see if people pay their rent or grab more supplies. Some are getting rent reductions, etc. too.

 

Wut? How many females in one house??




I wasn't expecting much. Was just going to get a rotisserie chicken and some veggies. Until I saw a man walk by with a pack of the toilet paper. I noticed it was a pallet that wasn't even stocked on the shelf yet. After I got mine, I walked back to the isle 5 min later and noticed that the pallet got raided that quick and was out......lol.

I was just going thru the store making toilet paper jokes as I shopped cracking people up. The eggs was moving slow tho surprisingly. They were still on the shelf when I left. Could be because people are broke now, I didn't even think of that. They better pay that rent, these people are wild.

 

I'm eating plenty of fresh raw organic kale, broccoli, spinach, arugula, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, apples, melons, chicken noodle soup, green tea, mixed nuts and oatmeal ect..... and taking 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C per day and getting in that cardio.

I eat healthy anyway but stepped it up for a possible bout with this virus. If I get it I'll win without a doubt, but there is no prize for the fight so I hope to avoid it.

 

Did he go into intensive care or did he fight it at home?

 

Cool. I’m a AO2.
