contingo | recruitment in Canada is planned to recommence in March | 00:01 |
contingo | here are some links | 00:01 |
contingo | https://taurx.com/clinical-trials/ | 00:01 |
contingo | well, you can get to all relevant links from that link | 00:01 |
LjL | "... permit a broader range of patients, including those diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer’s disease, to become eligible for participation" ← not sure if they qualify as moderate, maybe barely symptomatic, i'm unable to tell | 00:02 |
contingo | but the contacts for clinic in Canada running the trial are currently not listed. I can find out about what locations will open in March if it's of interest | 00:02 |
contingo | the primary trial focus is on early stage Alzheimer's | 00:03 |
LjL | ah, right, i think that should do | 00:03 |
wwinfo[m] | <LjL "wwinfo, definitely more like 2 y"> but it works now, no? just has unknown side effects etc? | 00:05 |
wwinfo[m] | is it a vaccine, or first attempt at one and is therefore like 1% effective or smth | 00:05 |

contingo | the clinical trial is to establish in a statistically rigorous context the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. Because this has health emergency status, various aspects of the trials will be fast-tracked compared to normal pharmaceutical trials | 00:07 |
LjL | wwinfo[m], what contingo said, but you can't expect lightning fast speeds anyway | 00:13 |
LjL | "unknown side effects" may include greater mortality than 3% for all i know | 00:14 |
LjL | if that were the case it would be a pretty bad idea to use it | 00:14 |
LjL | risk/benefit needs to be assessed. if it turns out this disease's risk gets even higher (i really hope not), then maybe the assessment of how long it takes to bring a vaccine out will also change... | 00:14 |

Albright | I have won on the earlier levels, though. | 12:11 |
contingo | my fungal biology is better than my viral biology | 12:11 |
Albright | Well, the basic idea is that you play as a disease with the goal of infecting and killing off all of humanity, right? | 12:11 |
contingo | oh right, OK | 12:11 |
Albright | But there's different levels depending on what form the disease is in. Virus, bacteria, fungus. There's even some silly ones like vampirism (you try to turn everyone on earth into a vampire). | 12:12 |
Albright | And each type gives you different abilities and penalties. Fungus has a penalty against easily spreading via air and sea travel, but you can overcome it by evolving certain abilities. | 12:13 |
Albright | Meanwhile the game's equivalent of the WHO (but competent) is trying to develop a cure to prevent infection and heal those already infected. | 12:14 |
contingo | with the inclusion of vampirism and all, I'm guessing the game isn't trying to replicate biological / epidemiological realities as closely as possible | 12:19 |

Albright | Well, no, it's still a game before it's a realistic simulation of this sort of thing. | 12:20 |

LjL | contingo, right now i don't know whether we have ~530 cases, or 650 to begin with, as JHU reports the former and Repubblica reports the latter... which is not exactly the same thing. meanwhile i hear italian people on reddit complaining that the regions are starting to downplay the whole thing because the economy is tanking, and that the emergency decrees are being rescinded, "because there is no exponential growth" (what?) | 23:12 |
LjL | really this may all be slated dramatically by Reddit and Repubblica, must be a reason they both start with R | 23:12 |
