Top E.R. Doctor Who Treated Virus Patients Dies by Suicide (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/27/nyregion/new-york-city-doctor-suicide-coronavirus.html)

Gilead Sciences’s remdesivir is the first treatment to pass such a strict test against the virus, which has killed more than 218,000 people since it emerged late last year in China. Having a treatment could have a profound effect on the global pandemic, especially because health officials say any vaccine is likely a year or more away.
The study, run by the National Institutes of Health, tested remdesivir versus usual care in 1,063 hospitalized coronavirus patients around the world. At the White House, NIH’s Dr. Anthony Fauci said the drug reduced the time it takes patients to recover by 31% — 11 days on average versus 15 days for those just given usual care.

Great news

So , it's better then Lysol???:thumbsup:

Corona particles small enough to slip through N95 masks.

Had a co worker tell me the other day that the particles are small enough to not be stopped by N95 masks. She rattled off the size of the virus particle vs sizes of particles various masks prevent. I imagine I’m going to go down the rabbit hole of reading articles today.

I’m starting to think I’m better off with a multi layered homemade cloth mask vs my N95

Lawnmower broke a month ago, front yard is almost up to my knees. Going to Home Depot, May just buy a push mower but them fuckers are fucking like $80, I might as well drop 120 for a small electric or gas mower. I have a very small townhouse yard so something normal size would be too much.

The first time I’ve gone anywhere besides the grocery or beer store.

Hope all is well with everyone.

This scientific breakthrough has three key parameters: The antibody is monoclonal, new and refined, and contains an exceptionally low proportion of harmful proteins; the institute has demonstrated the ability of the antibody to neutralize the coronavirus; 3 the antibody was specifically tested on the aggressive coronavirus.

“Based on comprehensive scientific publications from around the globe, it appears that the IIBR is the first institution to achieve a scientific breakthrough that meets all three of the aforementioned parameters simultaneously,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement on behalf of the institute.


Yuuuugggeeeee news

I am starting to become inconvenienced by the virus in ways I could not imagine. The worst is now not using the post office for shipping transit times that used to be 2-3 days now have stretched up to 2 weeks. So now I will make a 90 minute round trip to Fedex up to 3 times a week.

The thing that got me yesterday was going to Harbor Freight. I got the last 25 pounds of aluminum oxide. I was expecting to leave with a couple hundred pounds of various types blasting media. When I inquired why a normal fully stocked section was stripped clean I was told the store had not seen a delivery truck in 3 weeks. All their warehouses were shut down for cleaning. They said a truck was due Thursday so I suppose I will go back Friday. Extra shopping trips are a big deal to me as anything other than groceries is a 60 mile round trip.

2020 is just out of control.
