IronYno further tests needed lol00:00
BrainstormNew from The Lancet at 00:00 UTC: [World Report] Venezuelan migrants “struggling to survive” amid COVID-19: Humanitarian organisations are concerned that border closures and health-care shortages are amplifying the challenges posed by COVID-19. Joe Parkin Daniels reports from Bogotá. — from r/WorldNews at 00:00: Livethread IX: Global COVID-19 Pandemic → https://is.gd/DnpXvR00:03
dzhois anyone testing putatively recovered patients other than maybe China and South Korea?00:03
LjLi think we're testing them00:04
LjLbut i might be wrong00:04
LjLi hope i'm not wrong00:04
IronYI recommend u don't look into it00:04
LjLmhm00:04
stiophanWhy hasn't this virus been seen before this or is the mutation only appearing now it moved to humans00:05
berndjstiophan, it seems to have moved to humans only very recently, like november 201900:06
Brainstorm🔸 World: +216 cases (now 593841), +5 deaths (now 27219), +6 recoveries (now 132526) 🔸 California, US: +212 cases (now 4671), +3 deaths (now 93) 🔹 Afghanistan: +16 cases (now 110) 🔹 Alabama, US: +56 cases (now 587), +2 deaths (now 3) 🔹 Albania: +12 cases (now 186), +2 deaths (now 8), +14 recoveries (now 31) 🔹 Algeria: +42 cases (now 409), +1 deaths (now 26) [... want %more?]00:06
stiophanSeems unusual that a virus would suddenly only appear now (please no conspiricies)00:07
IronYstiophan: thats how every virus ever has ever worked00:07
pwr22<stiophan "Seems unusual that a virus would"> That's a reductionist argument00:07
stiophanIs this Virus new to nature?00:07
pwr22It's uncommon but it always must start somewhere00:07
IronYstiophan: I do not mean to be rude but maybe a 5 min 'what is a virus' video on youtube may be appropriate00:08
dzhoI was surprised to learn how recently, in terms of recorded history, polio appeared.00:08
stiophanSo it always existed in the other species that someone in a Chinese market got infected by00:08
ryoumastiophan: many viruses come from animals to humans.  like sars1, mers, hiv (whether standard theory or the the river theory).00:08
berndjstiophan, every novel virus has to appear at some time00:08
pwr22Viruses are always changing00:08
pwr22Constantly00:09
IronYI like the Joe Rogan guys answer00:09
stiophanSo CVD19 is a mutation on an already known Virus00:09
IronY"Humans wish they could be this creative with a virus"00:09
ryoumastiophan: is it?  it is a jhumping of species at least00:09
berndjit seems related to SARS (the original)00:10
ryoumanon-human animals*00:10
pwr22<ryouma "still trying to digest the meani"> Just ignore that bit of it 😭00:10
stiophanWhat makes this mutation different apart from human infection. How did it impact the original host00:10
ryouma:)00:10
IronYberndj: 80%, how much DNA do you think u share with a cat?00:10
berndjbut i haven't seen anything indicating whether it's a "child" of SARS or a "cousin"00:10
IronYur 96% cat00:10
ryoumapwr22: then it becomes that is an argument00:11
berndjIronY, how much does it have in common with MERS?00:11
ryouma/j00:11
stiophanI know SARs was both more deadly but less contagious and you could not be a hidden spreader00:11
stiophanMERs came from camels?00:12
dzhomammalian genomes are gigabases in size, these virus genomes mere kilobases in size00:12
IronYhttps://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-genome-close-to-sars-originated-in-bats-2020-200:12
stiophanHence its localised nature where camels are a familiar species00:12
ryoumajust curious why the last letter is in a different case there?00:12
ryoumatheya re not plurals00:12
dzhoso the scope for variation is a lot different at any given percentage of similarity00:12
IronYdzho: percentages take that into account ;)00:13
IronYif ur doing an apples to apples comparison that is00:13
stiophanso if SARs existed in BATs then CVD19 must also been a known virus in Bats (presuming they could be infected by it)00:14
dzhoconsider a single nucleotide difference in 4% of 2 gigabases, versus a single nucleotide difference in 4% of 8 kilobases00:14
dzhoare those the same number or different numbers?00:14
IronYdzho: Yes I understand there is way more00:14
IronYbut if your comparing a virus to a virus00:14
IronYand a mammal to a mammal00:14
IronYit is the best comparison I could give00:14
IronYobviously I would not compare a mammal to a virus00:14
stiophanAs far as I know the original chinese hose was not a bat (am I wrong?)00:15
IronYstiophan: Are you just trying to make convo or?00:15
dzhopangolins00:15
IronYyou seem to be asking questions you have the answers for in the next question lol00:15
IronYI mean I dig it00:15
IronYjust curious00:15
stiophanIf chinese were eating this bushmeat before at it has CVD19 then how come no previous infection00:16
IronYwhat is 4 + 600:16
bin_bashit's like at least 10 bro00:17
IronYLol. well, ur not a bot00:17
IronYthe other guy I am not so sure00:17
bin_bashhah 00:17
bin_bashfair enough00:17
stiophanIf the 1918 flu virus mutated at the end to avoid killing its host then will CVD19 also not do the same and why no mutation already as the 1918 pandemic00:19
LjLthat question seems like it's based on some dodgy assumptions00:20
IronYits a bot00:20
berndjis there an all-encompassing phylogenetic tree for all (or at least the vast bulk of) viruses?00:20
stiophanIf the 1918 pandemic virus was more deadly and CVD19 is less deadly (for most), will this mean the virus will not self mutate to avoid killing off its host00:21
berndjstiophan, just think, the ultimate virus would be entirely asymptomatic. we'd never know it's there! so it would just spread as far as our natural immune systems allowed it to00:22
stiophanAnd turn into a less deadly virus00:22
berndjstiophan, i've seen that claim made in multiple places, but haven't seen a solid argument for why it must necessarily be so00:22
IronYLol00:22
IronYstiophan: whats the second letter in the world: marry00:23
IronYword that is00:23
dzhohe00:23
dzhoh00:23
LjLstiophan, this virus isn't even infectious for most people by the time they're dying00:24
stiophanExcept any ultimate virus would either take over its host or use up all its resources in self replicating and any ultimate virus would be able to avoid any defence measures 00:24
LjLit's infectious when they first get symptoms00:24
LjLwhich is pretty ideal for a virus tbh00:24
IronYGuys, I wont bring it up again, but your talking to a not real thing00:24
IronYlol00:24
LjLbecause they are still mostly healthy, just sick enough to be coughing around other people00:24
LjLIronY, who are you Alan Turing?00:24
IronYLjL: Nope just a programmer lol00:25
stiophanCan the virus last on a dead person any longer than any surface once the host is no longer breathing, sweating and its blood has coagulated00:25
LjLokay fair enough00:25
LjLstiophan, answer this question or i'll have to ban you: how much is three plus four?00:25
berndjstiophan, any virus that goes so overboard quickly attracts the scrutiny of human ingenuity00:25
stiophan700:26
IronYfuuucck00:26
IronYso why u trolling though00:26
LjLwell "seven" would have been more appropriate00:26
dzhonice00:26
LjLbut that'll pass00:26
berndjif a virus is "too good" (too deadly, too fast, too infectious), humans swoop in and kill it by hook or by crook00:26
IronYUr questions started at , guys whats a virus, and now were on advanced virology00:26
IronYa few more mins and I wont understand the topic material lol00:26
dzhoanother consideration is that the host populations, by successive exposure to variants of a given virus, will build up at least partial immunity, as best I understand it00:27
stiophanAny virus that good would kill or take over its host as there would be no defence to its propagation00:27
dzho"take over"00:28
dzhothis isn't Invasion of the Body Snatchers00:28
berndjthere's probably a wasp somewhere that can do that00:28
dzhothey're just viruses.00:28
dzhothey make us make more viruses, that's it00:28
IronYThis is a novel virus, this is not really a novel situation00:28
stiophanIn theory yes except the flu virus mutates and we get the flu all the time 00:28
IronYjust been a bit00:28
dzhoit's not ... what's that thing cats spread00:28
stiophanWhats novel about this virus00:29
dzhowe get flu all the time, except not everyone gets the same flu everytime all the time00:29
IronYdzho: at the same time!00:29
dzhowith flu people tend to look at the two classes of epitopes you've probably heard about, H and N00:29
stiophanNo as luckily its mutation is slower00:29
berndjdzho, toxoplasma something00:30
dzhoso you might have immunity to one of them but not the other (again, as best I understand not an immunologist or virologist or doctor or anything)00:30
dzhoberndj: yes, that's it!00:30
dzhothanks00:30
IronYPandemics: Some of us are going to make it, some of us are not, in a few years we will defund health care and worry about it later00:30
stiophanwhy it this called 1900:30
berndjtoxoplasma gondii or something like that00:30
dzho201900:30
bin_bashnot sure if this has been shared here, list of chemicals for disinfecting covid: https://www.americanchemistry.com/Novel-Coronavirus-Fighting-Products-List.pdf00:30
IronYjust bleach all the things lol00:31
IronYOMG on that note00:31
dzhoisopropyl alcohol all the things00:31
bin_bashbleach destroys things that lysol doesnt00:31
berndjis bleach even effective?00:31
bin_bashyes of course00:31
dzhobin_bash: including your skin00:31
IronYbleach kills all things00:31
stiophanCan the virus infect our close mamallians ie monkeys, gorillas etc00:31
bin_bashdzho: yeah and colors00:31
IronYLOl that should be the new logo00:31
dzhoI am so worried about my colors RN you wouldn't believe!00:32
IronY'Bleach, It kills literal colors, f*** covid'00:32
berndjdo you people know the "Savlon" brand of antiseptic liquids?00:32
bin_bashidk about you, but i'm not interested in destroying my clothes when there are other solutions00:32
IronYregular detergent and hot water man00:32
berndjthe supermarket has none left, and i'm wondering if that's so great... because this is a virus and not a bacterium00:32
IronYu can kill this virus with hand soap00:32
bin_bashalso groceries and whatnot. get washed or sprayed with lysol or wiped with ipa 00:32
berndjstiophan, it can infect rhesus monkeys!00:32
stiophanAnything about 70% alcohol content 00:33
dzhoI finally found my stash of 95%00:33
dunnphot water and soap00:33
dunnpipa wont kill it00:33
bin_bashyes it will00:33
redlegionGotta love that lipid envelope00:33
IronYit 100% will00:33
bin_bashyou guys should really just read the list i linked00:33
IronYu cannot put your whole house in the tub how ever00:33
IronYhence bleach and alcohol00:33
dunnpIPA is like 17% alcohol00:33
bin_bashdunnp: no00:33
LjLdunnp, they mean isopropyl00:34
bin_bashi don't even think that's sold00:34
dunnpoh00:34
bin_bashit's usually 70% or 91% or 99%00:34
dunnpI thought they meant indian pale ale00:34
LjLfigured :P00:34
IronYI am sitting on 3 bottles of 99.99% Isoprop00:34
bin_bashthere might be some 100% lab grade but i think it's sold as contact cleaner00:34
IronYall accidentally00:34
bin_bashIronY: don't forget to dilute it00:34
dunnpheh00:34
IronYbin_bash: oh of course, this was for electronics originally lol00:34
LjLdunnp, to be fair if you haven't bought one type of IPA in time, you can drink enough of the other to stop worrying about it00:34
berndjwhy must you dilute it?00:34
bin_bashnice00:34
dunnpnever heard isoprop called ipa00:34
stiophanwhy do you need to dilute it00:34
LjLdunnp, works both ways00:34
IronYbin_bash: turns out the wife is sitting on a shit ton of aloe gel so it worked out00:34
dunnptrue LjL 00:34
bin_bashberndj: 70% disinfects better because it doesn't evaporate as quickly00:34
dunnp^ 70% isopropyl is best00:35
IronYyou could technically poison urself if you had to much prolonged contact to 99.99%00:35
bin_bashoh yeah00:35
festermoonshine suger and water00:35
bin_bashi usually buy 91% for cosmetic purpose and for wiping down my phone00:35
IronYLocal electronic depos still have 99% in most forms: wipes, liquid, aerosol00:36
stiophanSuddenly I realise why strong russian alcohol has more than one use00:36
IronYif ur trying to get them00:36
IronYcheck those00:36
IronYstay away from ottawa canada, thats mine00:36
dunnpLjL: could use one one though... haven't had beer in about two weeks00:36

berndji have "methylated" spirits (with no methanol lol)00:37
berndjthat's 90%+ ethanol00:37
tinwhiskersberndj: that's what we have too :-)00:37
tinwhiskers95% ethanol here00:37
IronYI wonder if anyone has blown themselves up yet00:37
IronYrigging up distilleries at home00:37
bin_bashone can only hope00:37
stiophanCan someone explain to me why Italy got it so bad? Germany-Spain-Greece-Portugal have just as many old per capita00:38
IronYbin_bash: every couple years someone levels their foundation making oil, I would imagine that scales lol00:38
bin_bashi think part of it is because of everyone hugging and kissing eachother00:38
bin_bashIronY: yup ol00:38
berndjtinwhiskers, ours has 4% isopropanol and 2.4% butan-1-ol, and i guess some random uninteresting stuff to fill up the 100%00:38
stiophanIgnore government advice no matter what???00:38
dunnprandomness00:38
tinwhiskersThe virus was engineered by the English to take out the Italian football team00:39
dunnpjust found out that the makes of the swabs for testing were both in norhtern italy which has been part of the problem for testing00:39
berndjIronY, how do they do that? blocked condensers and the like?00:39
IronYberndj: I would not give them that much credit, probably lighting a smoke next to large piles of flammable materials00:39
berndjthat'll cause a fire; it won't level the building00:40
berndjor are you talking open containers evaporating into a nice explosive mixture00:40
tinwhiskersif the fuel-air mix is just right then boom00:40
stiophanthe italians have been mostly uncompetitive in soccer tournaments for years now, apart from 1-2 Italian clubs00:40
berndjwould one be able to breathe in an explosive mixture?00:41
festerniggerian mob in northern italy drugs and girls00:41

stiophanThis isin't AIDS its not mostly transmitted by bodily fluids00:42
festerplus rich kids from northern schools hop on the bus when the trains shut down bring the virus home to southern italy00:42
tinwhiskersfester: that might explain the spread but not the high mortality 00:43
IronYMy Local news: “Unfortunately, most of the deaths we have seen so far are with elderly people – many of whom had other health issues as well,” she said. 00:43
stiophanWhy would rich northern kids head south?00:44
IronYWhat do you mean Unfortunately00:44
tinwhiskersalthough fast spread, and therefore overwhelming the medical services more quickly will contribute somewhat to high mortality00:44
berndjat 20°C you can have up to 6% ethanol in air, that's right around the range where things can typically go boom. so ok, i'll buy that theory!00:44
IronYI mean I get it's a touchy subject00:44
IronYbut like, should it read 'Thankfully only healthy young people died'00:44
berndjok butane is another kettle of fish00:44
IronYberndj: there is a few ways to make oil00:45
LjLi keep getting Amazon Pantry emails that aren't even real00:45
IronYbutane is just one of em00:45
LjLwhich is dumb because Amazon Pantry is no longer a thing here00:45
stiophanI presumed many Italians had a good diet and were naturally more healthy even the older ones00:45
IronYI believe Honey oil is Isoprop00:45
tinwhiskersmaybe the CO2 method might be safer00:45
LjLso hey spammer do you think i'm stupid00:45
festerrich kids left school went home00:46

IronY"One second <insert small kids name here>, Daddy is still pretending to be a nigerian prince'00:46
stiophanrich kids went home South to even poorer health services? Are there alot of rich southern kids being schooled in the North of Italy?00:47

festerstiophan,  didnt get that part00:47
LjLstiophan, kids... not really, university students, yes, a lot00:47
LjLstiophan, also, no, our life expectancy has been going up but our *healthy* life expectancy has been going down00:47
tinwhiskersBut I don't think that really goes very far to explaining the high death rate in Italy00:48
LjLhealth services deteriorated since the 2008 crisis00:48
IronYWas there a noticeable immigration of americans prior to all hell breaking loose?00:48
LjLand the south is just consistently bad00:48
IronYbeing, a lot of people at their summer homes suddenly leaving00:48
stiophanthe same poor services are then also in Greece and its not a basket case like Italy00:48

festerno money to go out and spend limited virus spread00:50
IronYToday was also the first truly 'its spring out'00:50
IronYtldr, were fucked00:50
LjLthe problem that is often highlighted in Italy is that the initial lockdown was on Lombardy and surroundings only, so people who were in Lombardy but originally from other regions (many) "fled" back home00:51
adventurerbecause i did UberEats  instead of a job I will get  maybe next to no help from the government in this crisis I think even though I was probably poorer than most people with a job before it00:51
LjLbut the thing is00:51
LjLthat would/will explain clusters in southern regions00:51
LjLbut the *current* issue is still mainly Lombardy00:51
festergreeks stay home00:51
LjLso if there is a very bad effect from that, it's still to come in its full force00:51

IronYwithout lombardy 00:55
IronYdeath rate that is00:55
LjLthey may in the future, but maybe there was just generally less travel there00:55

IronYI get it00:56
IronYequiv*00:56
stiophanI presume the spread to Italy was Chinese tourism and heavy biz connections in clothing an textiles with China00:57
IronYIt was probably there a long longer then suspected00:57

stiophanIn theory France should be the same as italy ie clothing links and tourism00:58
IronYAs should Vancouver00:58
IronYespecially given the chinese new year00:58
berndjstiophan, there's a hypothesis that italy actually got it from germany00:59
IronYberndj: Wow00:59
IronYI gotta call my nono00:59
stiophanThe bigger scare is if it gets embedded in Africa and India where health services are near zero00:59
IronYHe said the same thing weeks ago (without any factual basis of course he does not internets) and my grandma is German (he is italian) I thought it was just a passive aggressive thing lol00:59

IronYThe lights will trigger the lights01:30

IronYoh so does the siren it seems01:31
berndjwhy do the early doubling times vary so wildly between countries? is that partly an artifact of inadequate testing?01:31

berndjare you going to fuzz your local traffic lights?01:32
IronYI would go to the most remote location and try it once to see if it works01:32
adventurerberndj, I am guessing that is one reason maybe also, population density, culture, hygiene  and new social distancing laws might play a part01:32
IronYfucking with that in a used area would hold some real fines / jail time01:32
IronYprobably qualifies for domestic terrorism01:33
berndjadventurer, i'm comparing especially the US's early doubling time (hours!) with italy or iran01:33
IronYI cannot speak for italy but my grandfather, an italian man, his literal life is just going from place to place01:33
IronYitalians in my experience seem to love to just go place to place when their older01:34
fructoseberndj: I think you're misunderstanding the plot. None of those doubling times are 'early'01:34

p2hangLooks like roughly 70% of people in the US are under 50. https://www.infoplease.com/us/comprehensive-census-data-state/demographic-statistics-342.

IronYketas: Hard is fair, but it is far from impossible or unprecedented02:21
IronYadventurer: I think they are more confused as to why you would pick TP over food02:21

IronYSpeaking of TP02:22
IronYTook 15 days to use 1 roll02:22

IronYi ordered a nice bulk pack from amazon while everyone was running out going crazy at a retail outlet over tp due to a pandemic thats spread by going crazy all together inside a retail outlet02:23
ketashell you can live without it02:23
IronYwhen this is done we need a study on how many people contracted covid picking up toilet paper02:24
ketasi like my zewa 4ply, no need to take more than one square at time02:24
IronYI am wondering if there is any value at the moment in paying my credit cards past the minimum payments02:24
adventurerAnyone in robotics might make it useful to create things that ensure less contact between sick and healthy especially 02:24
IronYI normally pay them off every month02:25
IronYstarting to think I should favor the cash and ride the debt02:25
adventureri have some toilet paper but i suppose some people would have a year's worth02:25
ketasem no debit cards?02:25

ketasvirgin?02:33
IronYI would assume not, my theory is the heart break of their initial suitor is what left them with a hole only filled by feline companions02:33

ketasthat was big hole02:34

IronYI love my cats, but I know if we both died together in our sleep, they would happily eat us, we have an understanding02:34
IronYthe dog would probably just die of heart break02:34

IronYwe have data from sars and mers03:02

LjLhm03:48
adventurerI heard it happening elsewhere where people who lived above and below each other in units got it03:48

adventurerI have heard other mainstream news sources saying it could survive in the air for 3 hrs03:48
LjLbut they were probably too busy saying "test test test" to read those03:48
adventurerShe is smart she said crank the airconss up in shopping centres /hotels for a day or two after a known case as some say it can't survive above 22 degrees long03:50
ryoumaso what is the answer?03:51

adventurermaybe  they can have no aircon for 2 weeks but god knows if they'd put up with it03:52
ryoumai have a reusable respirator, but for health reasons, and lack of alcohol etc., do not have the ability to decontaminate it.  nor do i have a place where i can put it to lie fallow for 3 days.  so i stick it in a bag.  but then i figure the outside might bec ontaminating the inside.03:53
IronY"70C /158F heating in an oven (not your home oven) for30min, or hot water vapor from boiling water for 10 min, are additional effective03:54
IronYdecontamination methods."03:54
IronYShould I use someone elses oven?>03:54
ryoumamaybe public spaces including hotel rooms could be designed to withstand heat.  then they can ber decontaminated by turning upt he heat raelly high.03:54
IronYI did not want to be the first person to bring this up03:54
IronYbut we are gonna fuck our power grids come summer03:55
ryoumai.e. no offgassing of volatile materials, cords, no carpets, etc.03:55
ryoumathat concerns me03:55
IronYAmerica + Canada + everyone at home + global warming + even the poor classes in both country having access to air conditioning = bad news bears03:55
ryoumawhere i live is not survivable for me without ac03:55
adventurerthey used to make a lot of stuff out of copper but stopped03:57
adventurervirus survives less long on copper than plastic or glass we use now03:57
IronYgonna go make a kitchen counter out of used heat syncs03:58
IronYbrb03:58
adventurerAlso they said  1.5m is not a good advice it must be more like 2m+ because the 1.5m was based on old advice from small pox or something on the radio. not certain on the details04:01
adventurerbut the rules  here are 1.5m04:01
adventurerso  hmm04:01
LjL1m here04:02
LjLbut really people won't be using tape rulers04:02
LjLthey'll just be doing whatever they feel is beyond their normal private space distance04:02
LjLwhich is going to be cultural04:02
adventurerIf you ever used a oil diffuser you see how something in the air dances around everywhere anyway randomly04:02
adventurertrue LjL 04:03
ryouma4.5m sounds better to me.  15 feet or so.04:03
LjLalso let's stop kidding, this is most likely aerosolized just fine04:03
adventurerAfter this I think it might be wise to go back to copper and not use it 4 hours after cleaning either04:04
adventurerbut I don't think we will04:06

LjLomg04:06
LjLi bought an oxygen concentrator04:06
LjL€32004:06
LjL"only 1 left"04:06
LjLi didn't even... i assume it's the same type i've seen previously a few times04:06
LjLchinese stuff, won't be great04:06
LjLbut i've been saying for like weeks that if i could go back when those were available, i'd buy one04:06
LjLso well04:06
LjLSpec, ↑04:07
LjLonly one that's been available on prime in weeks... at least, i kind of kept checking04:08
LjLexcept for a ridiculous one that was available a couple of days ago, but it provided 30% oxygen04:08
LjLi think that's just... uh, air?04:08
ubLXhow long will that take to arrive?04:08
LjLubLX, april 304:10
ubLXhm. not bad04:11

BrainstormNew from r/WorldNews Live* at 03:10 UTC: /u/slakmehl: NYT has a new chart they will update daily that shows how death growth rates are changing for each country over time. — from r/WorldNews at 03:10: Livethread IX: Global COVID-19 Pandemic → https://is.gd/GWtd4r04:12
SpecLjL: air is like, 20% oxy04:19
LjLSpec, am aware, but 30% doesn't sound so impressive04:21
LjLSpec, anyway https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07BT834VB/04:21
LjLSpec, it's the model (many brands, but always same-looking thing) i had eyed the most when it was available04:22
LjLapart from one comparatively very cheap €130 model that only output 50% max04:22
Specfancy looking04:22
Specdoes it just do electrolysis w/ water?04:22
Specwhat's it do with the hydrogen?04:23
LjLSpec, no, i believe the water is just for humidifying the air, many of these have that, i guess it may output very dry air otherwise04:23
LjLSpec, the mechanism of action is not something i've quite understood, but i think it mainly removes the nitrogen04:23
LjLand then pumps it at pressure04:23
LjLthe remainder04:23
Specoh04:24
ryoumazeolite04:24
LjLSpec, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_concentrator#Pressure_swing_adsorption04:24
LjLyou may understand more of this04:24
LjLryouma, yes04:24
Speca nitrogen scrubber, neat04:24
LjLryouma, do you use one of these?04:24
SpecLjL: i could do cryogenic separation i suspect04:25
Specbut it's explosive if you fuck it up!04:25
ryoumai am too sick to fix my oxygen concentrator, which i have needed for a long time, but have been too sick to fix.  it is highly useful for me.04:25
LjL:(04:27
LjLryouma, this one i've bought, i'm afraid it's probably the crappy kind of chinese thing, but i can't buy a medical grade one. it says 1 to 6L at 90%, but in reality it only does 90% at 2L, then 33% at 6L04:27
LjLas i am reading, 6L is normal breathing rate (when not even exercising), so in reality 90% is not realistic04:27
LjLthere was also this one https://www.amazon.it/InLoveArts-Ricaricabile-Generatore-Concentratore-ricaricabile/dp/B083J21P52/ briefly on prime the other day, but it's even more ridiculous, 1-3L with 30% oxygen (so presumably only at 1 or 2L)04:29
ryoumayou need to read up on masks vs. cannulas and non-rebreather vs. normal masks.  in this case you will probably be just using a cannula at 3lpm or something if you get covid.  idk if that will be useful.  i know they have been tried for covid, but idk at what lpm.04:29
ryoumadon't expect normal breathing rate to be 6lpm04:29
LjLryouma, well i know there's a certain percentage (probably around 5%) that aren't bad enough to need ICU but would probably die without at least oxygen04:30
LjLso it's a narrow range04:30
LjLbut my dad is 75, a smoker, and using ARBs, which initially seemed like they could help, now people are saying they make it worse04:30
LjLso i'll take what i can get04:30
ryoumathis migth hve notes on it in which case tell us but it could also be really out of date by now [[https://emcrit.org/ibcc/covid19/][COVID-19 - EMCrit Project]]04:30
ryoumawhat are arbs04:31
ryoumaforce him to stop smoking04:31
ryoumacoerce him04:31
LjLCurrently, most guidelines are recommending HFNC as a preferred modality for patients failing low-flow cannula (e.g. SSC campaign, ANZICS).  This should be instituted with close monitoring and airborne precautions.04:31
LjLryouma, actually it's even *worse* if he stops smoking, aiui04:32
LjLARBs are high blood pressure medications04:32
LjLthey block ACE2 receptors04:32
LjLwhich sounds good since then the virus can't bind to them04:32
ryoumahigh flow is a really special thing.  oxygenc ocnentrators don't do that.04:32
ryoumayours won't04:32
LjLbut then apparently the body upregulates the production of ACE2 receptors04:32
LjLso you end up with many more04:32
ryoumaLjL: ok i take teh force him thing back then04:33
LjLand smoking also causes proliferation of ACE2 receptors04:33
LjLryouma, there's a paper that says, of course, non-smokers are least at risk, but between smokers and ex-smokers, ex-smokers are more at risk04:33
LjLthey have more ACE2 and they are *also* more available, i suppose the simplistic explanation is04:33
LjLyuriwho, correctish?04:33
ryoumais ace inhibitors the same ace as ace2?04:34
ryoumaace inhibitors can cause angioedema04:34
ryoumahfnc is a special tube that totally covers your nose04:34
ryoumait's like 15lpm04:34
LjLryouma, i'm really confused about the various ACE2-like receptors, and difference between inhibitors and blockers04:35
LjLbut i do believe what my parents are taking is an ACE2 blocker04:35
LjLryouma, yeah says up to even 60L/min on this page04:35
ryoumawhat are ssc campaign?  what is anzics?04:35
ryoumaholy !@#$04:35
yuriwhocorrect, also new paper today:  https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.25.20043745v104:36
LjLryouma, no idea, but anyway the fact it says "for patients failing low-flow cannula" means to me that some patients CAN be okay with a low-flow thing04:36
LjLryouma, really, if my dad goes into full "old smoker with hypertension" mode, he's either ending up in an ICU bed, or dying, or both04:36
LjLbut if he has a mild case and his saturation just goes below 90% or something04:37
LjLi hope something like this can help him without going to hospital04:37
LjLif not... i've wated €32004:37
ryoumait might only work for a small probability edge case unless he has preexisting lung conditions or so (i.e. already uses oxygenc oncentratopr)04:37
LjLit seems kind of a bet worth making in the current rather shitty situation04:37
LjLyeah others have told me the same. it may only work in very specific circumstances04:37
LjLi feel the need to know i "can do something" though04:38
LjLand i suspect i'd feel shitty forever if i hadn't bought it when possible and then he dies04:38
LjLwhen i failed to buy it before, when they were cheaper and more available... the situation didn't seem so grim04:38
LjLi was still sort of under the impression that most people wouldn't eventually get this04:38
LjLit was still a tiny percentage of people getting it, and it wasn't so clear to me that everyone eventually getting it was kind of unavoidable04:39
LjLryouma, as to his conditions, he coughs a lot sometimes, but his oxygen saturation is normally decent04:39
yuriwhoLjL: keep him safe till new therapies arrive and the hospitals are not overloaded04:40
LjLryouma, what sort of oxygen concentrator is your broken one?04:40
LjLyuriwho, right04:40
ryoumayou can try it and if he feels better on it while not infected then maybe it will be of some use04:40
LjLi just hope this piece of hardware doesn't explode, although it's not like a CE mark would make it less likely to explode04:40
ryoumaif not, maybe not.  it would be good if you could sort of share it with a bunch of folk who think they might need it.04:41
LjLi should look at what this comes with, in terms of cannulas, masks, or whatever04:41
ryoumayou can make him sicker if you use the wrong thing04:41
ryoumaso read up on the types of masks04:41
LjLryouma, i immediately shared the link with someone i knew could need it, because it said there was still "only 1 left" with Prime even after i bought it, but it disappeared before long04:42
ryoumai meant the device :)04:42
LjLand when they're not Prime they're useless since they come from China04:42
ryoumalike, locally04:42
LjLah04:42
LjLwell we do have some old people in the building04:42
LjLand one with very bad asthma i believe04:42
ryoumawhat does prime have to do with it?04:42
ryoumathat one would be a good one to monitor04:43
ryoumai am in dire need of inhaler but "prior authorization" means the pharmacy won't order it without paperwork.04:44
LjLryouma, Prime means it gets shipped from Italy or at least from inside the EU, anyway it means Amazon takes care of the shipping04:44
LjLif it gets shipped by a random seller in China, on the other hand, it'll take two months to get to italy04:44
ryoumabasically rebreather means you breathe your own breath.  there are lpm limits.  also beware a lot of this stuff has offgassing materials, so chemically sensitive will have issues.04:44
LjLand then it'll be stuck at Customs for another two months04:45
LjLand then Customs will want me to pay more money04:45
ryoumaand prime fixes that?04:45
LjLyeah04:45
LjLprime means i get it april 304:45
IronYLjL: I read the same smokers white paper04:45
IronYcan confirm that is what it says04:45
IronYthe healthy recovered healthy lung tissue in former smokers has more ACE2 surface04:46
LjLhmm the concentrator i bought, at least according to the pictures, is similar but not identical to other models i've seen with the same shape. it LOOKS like this one doesn't have a CE mark and the others do04:46
ryoumawhat is the 1 paragraph summary of ace2 in covid?  what it is and what role it plays?04:46
ryoumaor even 2 sentences.04:46
LjLIronY, i am an ex-smoker but i'm sort of young so hopefully i won't have much of an issue myself04:46
IronYI am a current smoker04:46
IronYI would still rather be in ur shoes04:46
IronYhow young is young04:47
LjLbut if CovBot's percentages have any grain of truth, even at my age, chances of hospitalizations are high04:47
LjL!risk 3704:47
IronYur 2 years older than me04:47
CovBotI estimate a 37 year old patient sick with COVID-19 has a 99.7% chance of survival, a 15.9% likelihood of needing to go to hospital, a 4.5% risk of needing intensive care there and a 0.3% chance of death.04:47
IronYI am suspect of the hospitalization numbers after reading the NYC article04:47
IronYHospitalization could mean you went for 3 hours04:47
radionovanon dairy hagen daz is the bomb04:47
LjLryouma, it is a receptor. it has some purpose that i don't know about (something concerning blood pressure i'd imagine, given it's used for that). but the virus uses it to bind and to enter cells04:48
ryoumahospitalization sounds more like admitted to hospital as an inpatient04:48
ryoumabut what do i know04:48
IronYI guess that explains diabetes / hyper tension / obesity being bad news bears04:48
LjLback of the one i bought: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61XEdAq2FlL._AC_SL1000_.jpg    back of similar ones i saw previously: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51sx%2BIQq-pL._AC_SL1001_.jpg04:48
ryoumais it a channel or connected to a channel?  or just something the virus binds?04:49
IronYwhat is this thing?04:49
guideXdoes anyone know if you can still run on pedestrian/bike paths near the queen mary/shoreline villiage in Long Beach CA? I got an emergency alert on my phone stating, '... bike paths and trails are closed ..."04:50
IronYYou got an emergency alert saying there closed04:50
IronYthere closed04:50
guideXwell idk, it's a pedestrian walkway, and a bike path04:51
IronYlol04:51
guideXalong the beach04:51
IronYThere closed, they did not sent you an emergency notice telling u its ok to walk but dont bike04:51
radionovalol04:52
radionovaclosed04:52
IronY;)04:52
guideXwell, if you live right there, you have no choice but to walk on the pedestrian walkway I guess04:52
guideXif you want to go anywhere, but maybe that's closed too?04:53
LjLryouma, i can't answer that04:53
IronYlgl what is this thing i wanna see if i can get one04:53
IronY(before knowing what it is, because purchasing things makes me happy_04:53
LjLIronY, 4.5% risk of ICU is pretty damned high04:53
guideXlike, it doesn't really compute, that they have closed a public walkway, what happens if I go anyways04:53
IronY!risk 3504:53
CovBotI estimate a 35 year old patient sick with COVID-19 has a 99.7% chance of survival, a 14.7% likelihood of needing to go to hospital, a 3.9% risk of needing intensive care there and a 0.3% chance of death.04:53
IronYguideX: You get put into prison, until people eventually get mad enough they just start shooting u04:54
IronYand I am not joking04:54
IronYstay the fuck home04:54
IronYu live in a country with idiots with guns04:54
IronYwho are trying not to die because u want a nice scenic walk04:54
guideXI like to run and maintain my fitness level is the only reason I'm wondering04:54
guideXI run about 10 miles along the beach path04:54
IronYguideX: Your basically assuring me youll have martial law soon04:54
IronYpeople like getting surgeries 04:55
IronYthere not able to do that right now04:55
LjLwhen you said "<ryouma> don't expect normal breathing rate to be 6lpm" i assume that means you expect normal rate to be higher? also, i guess a concentrator+rebreather combination could work better even if the concentrator is not too powerful?04:55
radionovaas long as u stay away from crowds04:55
radionovais it not legal to go outside?04:55
guideXlike, how do you maintain your fitness level and immunity level if you can't run04:55
IronYguideX: I have some special information for you04:55
radionovado exercises at home?04:55
IronYyou have millions of miles of roads04:55
IronYmillion sof miles04:55
radionovado squats, do pushups04:56
guideXah so, run on the road, I can do that04:56
IronYthere are very few cars on them right now04:56
radionovatheres a million ways to do it in your house04:56
IronYjust dont run on the one place u literally got an emergency broadcast not to run on04:56
IronYand u will be fine04:56
radionovapeople in prison get ripped all the time04:56
IronYlol04:56
IronYLjL: 2 years makes a 2.5% risk difference04:57
IronYthats incredible04:57
IronY!risk 2704:57
yuriwhothis may not be appropriate but it sure is funny: Canadian Ventilator hacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1OFMZDNKvU&t=410s04:57
LjLwell these numbers may need to be taken with a grain of salt04:57
CovBotI estimate a 27 year old patient sick with COVID-19 has a 99.9% chance of survival, a 9.7% likelihood of needing to go to hospital, a 1.7% risk of needing intensive care there and a 0.1% chance of death.04:57

ryoumai cannot answer the second question.  i think if you try to live on your ocnentrator at 6 you won't be pleased.  even top medical grade ones at much more would not be pleasing to live on.  you want to have air. --- 20:55 <LjL> when you said "<ryouma> don't expect normal breathing rate to be 6lpm" i assume that means you expect normal rate to be higher? also, i guess a concentrator+rebreather combination could work b04:59

guideXthey aren't really talking clearly about running05:05
ryoumadunno05:05
ryoumaLjL: your concentrator might not be that bad, but it might not be what was used for covid05:06
LjLryouma, worst case i can use it to get high on oxygen05:07
ryoumaor see if your neighbor thinks it is helpful05:07
ryoumaseems to be related to 2 guidelines for sepsis --- 20:31 <LjL> Currently, most guidelines are recommending HFNC as a preferred modality for patients failing low-flow cannula (e.g. SSC campaign, ANZICS).  This should be instituted with close monitoring and airborne precautions.05:11
ubLXLjL: I can't pretend to understand the dynamics of breathing support, but if 6L/min is normal, and someone has something pneumonia-like, you'd expect their volume per minute to much lower, no? And isn't it the case that the concentrator is not intended to supply your needed 6L/min of air, but merely to improve the oxygen fraction of the air you're drawing under your own power?05:12
yuriwhomedcram has a great vid on youtube explaining ventilator use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk_Qf-JAL8405:14
LjLi think they'd have *higher* volume per minute to try to make up for decreased oxygen takeup05:14
LjLi.e. they'd breathe faster05:14

berndjclosure??? aren't private hospitals needed for their bed capacity??05:27
berndjyuriwho, yeah, but how sure are we that small-droplet (or naked virus??) transmission isn't a (big) factor?05:28
yuriwhoto be demonstrated05:31
yuriwhotheir is too much PCR data and not enough infectious dose data05:32
ryoumai'd like to know what berndj asks05:40
berndjall the authorities seem to say not to worry about airborne transmission, but then how come this remains so hard to get under control?05:41
IronYwell now that he is gone05:51
IronYberndj: because of people like guideX, who after getting a message specifically not to do something, wants to do it, 'for his fitness'05:51
IronY'I know I might like kill a thousand old people or something, But I really care about my gains, and not being able to get my gains in the most optimal scenic spot is kinda a no go for me, So a thousand people be damned' -- A lot of peoples attitude05:53
ryoumaIronY: so he goes jogging.  and transmits it by his exhalation?05:53
ryoumaand that's preventable at what distance?05:54
berndji don't think that's the attitude of people who want to go exercising alone05:54
IronYryouma: he goes jogging the same people 1000 people like him go jogging , despite being told not to go jogging in that area05:54
IronYand the virus continues05:54
IronYagain, this is not about him not jogging05:54
IronYthis is about having to ask if it is ok to go jogging the one place ur phone just told u via a state wide alert, its not05:54
ryoumayeah i get it05:54
berndjthat's because people don't trust the state05:54
IronYI am using this dude as an example, he is far from alone in his train of thought05:55
ryoumabut i wanted to know about the question i asked anyway05:55

IronYthey never left the house anyway05:58
berndjsome people are just dumb. others are callous. others simply don't believe the premises stated to be the ones that rules are based on. they're not all the same05:59
IronYthe big thing in canada right now is the igorant masses saying there not paying their april rent05:59
IronYbecause 'their landlords dont have to pay mortgages'05:59
IronYwhich is not true for 90% of landlords05:59
yuriwhoyea, I heard about that. The GTA real estate market is gonna have a burp06:00
berndjsometimes i wonder if for situations like this, the entire free-ish market economy should just back up its money-state and then switch to a command economy until this is over, and then after it's done we restore the backup06:01

berndjlimiting reproductive rights is severely problematic, but just letting people breed with no thought to the consequences is also problematic06:02
IronYlike, all the people getting arrested right now for the coronavirus memes, tik tok pranks, the idiots caughing on people (look it up, its a teen challenge to caugh on a old person and yell coronavirus)06:03
IronYberndj: I need a licence to drive a car06:03
berndjyeah but when you start talking about licences to breed the N word comes out in, like 2 seconds06:03
IronYIt is slightly my governments fault06:03
berndj(and i'm referring to a 4-letter initialism, not the other one that's a 6-letter word)06:04
IronYthey offer incentive to being critically thinking challenged06:04
IronYYou can supplement your welfare payments with baby bonus payments06:04
berndjyeah we have that here too. and worse, you can supplement it some more if your baby is disabled06:05
IronYhave 5 kids, get bulk discounts on the bare minimum staple food, drink the rest #northerOntario06:05
IronYoh, and to top it all off06:06
IronYthese are the people who are yelling 'THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING NOTHING FOR US' right now, the loudest06:06
IronYthe whole thing makes my head hurt, sorry for the rant06:06
ubLXyuriwho: nice and informative sequence of videos! from which one might extract a sense of applicability of non-invasive breathing assistance. don't suppose you can recommend a like sequence that dwells only on non-invasive methods (ie concentrators) and also that touches on target oxygen inhalation fractions wrt various medical factors?06:07
yuriwhoI have not researched that ubLX 06:08

ubLXIronY: i suppose you like the film Idiocracy?06:10
IronYubLX:  Film, prophetic masterpiece, time will tell :D06:11
ubLXnever saw it. is it worth the watch?06:11
IronYOh absolutely06:11
ubLXk lol06:11
IronYI am also going to put that on now06:12
yuriwholove that film, I just recommended it to someone today06:12
IronYI was trying to watch the alien movies but I really cannot get into 1979 special effects anymore, even when it is a 4k re-release06:12
ubLXIronY: would you say that culpability scales with insight?06:12
IronYubLX: how so06:13
ubLXjust.. very generally, or abstractly06:13
ubLXcan a being be culpable absent insight06:13
IronYThis is why I wont go as far has saying remove all the dumb peoplez06:14
IronYI do understand it is not their fault06:14
IronYbut maybe lets pay them monthly not to have kids06:14
IronYhonestly, that is all it would take06:14
ubLXpresumably it is the optimates who are responsible/culpable for the success or failure of education systems?06:15
IronYnegative06:15
IronYthe education is optimized for them06:15
IronYintelligent people actually have a harder time06:15
IronYMy top 5% of students are board06:15
IronYmy top 25% of students are not really being challenged06:15
IronYI am catering to the rest of them because thats how college as a service works06:16
IronYand these are people who got into college06:17
berndji'm kinda coming around to the "democracy can't work" view, due to these kind of themes06:17
IronYdemocracy absolutely does not work06:17
IronYthe system is inherently exploitable06:17
berndjbut what should the replacement be?06:17
IronYthe majority of the voters are easily manipulated06:17
berndjeverything else is also shitty in some significant way06:17
IronYthe people voting for your leader are the same people getting scammed by spear phising emails06:18
berndjshould you have to earn your right to vote?06:18
IronYI am all for a meritocracy06:18
ubLXthat people are easily manipulated must substantially be a failure of education06:19
IronYeducation is a fail of education06:19
IronYeducations originally intention was to watch your kids so you can be at the factory 06:19
IronYoriginal*06:20
IronYlook at the state we are in now with school closures06:20
berndjubLX, humans aren't blank slates. everything isn't just a matter of installing the right educational patch06:21
IronYeducation does not teach intuition, you are born with that, critical thinking, you are born with that06:21

IronYjacklsw: Freenode is normally a Open Source support network06:24
x3n4of which we have more then enough of for the upcomming 10 years or so06:24
IronYx3n4: I live in a canada with a large abundance of forestry, a limitless amount of trees, and the facilities to refine it to toilet paper, people bought toilet paper before buying food06:25
jacklswand thank god irc is free from the retarded memes06:25
x3n4why... i just don't understand... why toiletpaper?06:26
jacklswfinally im getting back the real chatting experience here :D06:26

IronYThe best part of all of this06:26
jacklswx3n4: what i heard is certain countries only import toilet papers06:26
jacklswso when this comes, there will be shortage so they panic buy06:27
IronYThe generation of the viral meme, the people who use viral as apart of their everyday vocab, did not understand not to spread a virus that kills people06:27
jacklswthen turns out everybody also panic buy for no apparent reason06:27

IronYdirect link between hot spots and toilet paper exportation confirmed06:28
jacklswand then the indians troll the world saying why would you need toilet papers?06:29
jacklswthey wipe their asses with their hands and water lol06:29
x3n4I think the lack of human contact (for those living alone) is a bigger issue than a possible lack of toilet paper.. 06:29
IronYthey poop in holes in the street :/06:29
x3n4If you don't have toiletpaper, go shower06:30
x3n4simple as that06:30
x3n4As long as we have water, we good06:30
IronYx3n4: some places do not use common pipes06:31
IronYso look into that before u flush ur shit down the shower drain06:31
IronYsome places have grey water vs waste water run offs06:31
IronYnot sure how that works but I assume the waste water gets more treatment?06:32

IronY4 cases since march 6th eh06:33
x3n4I'll just shit in the toilet and wash off under the shower (in case if have no TP)06:33
berndjx3n4, it's a coordination problem. people panic-bought TP because other people were panic-buying TP06:33
IronYIts the tide pod challenge effect06:33
IronYsee people do dumb shit06:33
x3n4Exactly berndj06:33
IronYdo dumb shit06:33
yuriwhoyea, the TP craze started in Hong Kong06:34
x3n4So people doing dumb shit forces other people to also do dumb shit06:34
IronYthen it doubled because once people started seeing people do dumb shit and realizing they were actually going to run the toilet paper06:34
IronYit forced them to go get toilet paper06:34
x3n4otherwhise they have nog TP06:34

berndjx3n4, it could have been any other commodity. but the winds of circumstance settled on it being toilet paper06:35
berndji think this is somewhat related to what human societies choose as a currency06:35
IronYOh I assure you just as many people stocked up on coke / crack / meth / heroine / pills06:35
x3n4If it've been beans or sausages.. I could somewhat understand..06:35
IronYI am surprised I am not reading more headlines about people killing their dealers06:36
yuriwhoI keep spare rolls in my truck, my golf bag, backpack etc. just in case06:36
IronYI have a poop at home problem06:36
x3n4Well, in the Netherlands, the prime minister announced coffeeshops had to close for +2 weeks, starting from 18.00. He announced that at 17.3006:36
x3n4There were lines of people at coffeeshops.. it was insane06:37
IronYwhen people thought our liquor stores were closing it had the same effect06:37
berndjIronY, here people stocked up on booze, but all that booze will probably be drunk up tonight (saturday) if it wasn't already drunk up last night06:37
x3n4Not even 1/4 of the people standing in line were helped06:37
IronYour health minister had to release a statement saying "We realize a lot of you are alcohol dependant and will die so we were not planning on doing that"06:37
ryoumai go with the contingent initial condition positive feedback theory, but i will keep in reserve for partial application the theory that humans like to be clean06:37
yuriwhothere's a video of some guy in Russia taking a cab, he pays for the ride with a respirator, the cabbie gives him rolls of TP as change, he tips the cabbie with about 3 wipes worth of TP06:38
IronYberndj: Any restaurant with a licence to serve alcohol can now deliver it06:38
IronYwhich is insane06:38
IronYI wonder if we will end up keeping that lol06:39
berndjryouma, yes, demand for toilet paper is pretty inelastic over anything but the shortest term06:39
IronYLast I checked Alcohol is immuno-supressing06:39
x3n4That is insane... I mean, if there is ever a time to get sober/clean.. it is now! Otherwise, when you get corona, you most probably die06:39
IronYalso a very bad ass blood thinner06:39
IronYmight not be a good time to pick up that addiction06:40
IronYx3n4: if ur a legit alcoholic ur not supposed to quit 06:40
berndji wonder how it works with smoking06:40
IronYthats normally a inpatient thing06:40
x3n4Survival of the fittest hasn't been so literal in... ages06:40
IronYif everyone who was an alcoholic stopped drinking cold turkey today, it would overwhelm our health case system far faster then covid06:40
berndjwe in south africa will let you know how that works out06:41
ryoumaidiocracy was really dumb movie in my opinion, but it did make the point that the world is dumb.  i would not recommend it, but i do recommend the attitude that the world is not alwys as smart as it seems.06:41
IronYMeanwhile I have had the same unopened 40oz of vodka we won at a wedding under my shelf and I look at it as last resort antiseptic06:41
berndji have a feeling the booze ban is something the government will dig in its heels over06:41
x3n4Well... maybe cold turkey is not the best idea, but i do think that some initiatives should be started to help alcoholics in this time..06:42
adventurersomeone should be walking around with a bottle of bleach and some cloth and gloves and tirelessly wiping down door handles and publicly touched rails and such06:42
adventurermaybe06:42
IronYx3n4: The most anxious time in most of our histories + quitting an addiction does not add up well06:42
adventurerunless it's just going to be breathed  in anyway06:42
ryouma40% alcohol as an antiseptic?  have you looked into the degree it works?06:42
IronYryouma: last case, world ending06:42
ryoumai'd like to know if it works06:43
yuriwhohere's a peculiarly soothing and entertaining vid that has nothing to do with COVID: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owWX5ZJapMw06:43
berndjeveryone says "at least 62%" or something thereabouts06:43
IronY"Vodka is a natural disinfectant and antiseptic. It can be used to treat toothaches, clean wounds, and clean your house. In fact, you'll be surprised by how many of your household cleaning and hygiene products include alcohol in their ingredients"06:43
x3n4IronY: I understand your point... but if there's ever a time..06:43
berndja virus isn't a bacterium though06:43
IronYberndj: Sorry I was to vague06:44
berndjthe way ethanol kills bacteria is not the same way it kills a virus06:44
IronYif the advent of an apocalypse06:44
IronYif I cut myself06:44
IronYand have absolutely nothing else but the vodka06:44
IronYto clean the cut with06:45
IronYI will use the vodka :P06:45
berndjso lower concentrations of ethanol can kill (or at least stop) bacteria06:45
berndjsure, it's better than nothing i guess. but watch out for creating a false sense of security06:45
IronY"Method of last resort" != "Sense of security"06:45
berndjand if you cut yourself, the primary threat is from bacteria06:45
x3n4And ingesting alcohol to prevent/cure corona, doesn't really seem like the best idea... Because it will give you significantly higher risks of cancer in mouth and throat06:46
IronYLets say me and you are in the forest, were about 100km apart, i cut myself, you cut yourself, we both do not have CDC approved antispetic, I have vodka, you do not have vodka06:46
IronYwhen that happens06:46
IronYI will be better off than you06:46
x3n4IronY: in the short term at least06:47
IronYx3n4: I will also be drunk when I eventually die of exposure06:47
berndji'll be better off because i won't drink the rest of the bottle :p06:47
yuriwho70% EtOH or IPA is best for disrupting membranes and thus is bactericidaland and virucidal06:47
IronYcan you render down vodka without blowing urself up06:47

IronYI would imagine that amplifies this by 100x07:16
x3n4I think it's conflicting for people with kids.. One side: you are not alone, won't get bored easily.. on the other side.. concentrating on work is probably hell...07:18
berndjIronY: but did you buy TP!07:18

IronYI do not need to go into a store to go outside though, I am just waiting a little bit before doing that07:31

x3n4yeah, I saw that here as well.. But after the speech of our prime minister, I think people really are starting to realisize the seriousness07:32

IronYlol10:25
IronYOh I hope that was the case10:26
adventurerwe are all hoping we have already had it and didn't realise I suppose10:28
adventurerthat would  be good if it were the case10:28
IronYI had a random 16 hours of clear expectorant, and fatigue10:29
IronYthat suddenly vanished 10:29

IronYadventurer: Caughed up a shot ton of clear mucus10:29

adventureryou staying home I hope10:30
adventurerand you feel better now/10:30
IronYyear this actually happened on day 1310:30
adventureroh10:30
IronYI am on day 16, feel great10:30
IronYI mean I understand the odds are low10:30
IronYbut from what i read10:30
IronYthat was textboox very mild case10:30
adventureri would pay for vaccine or a blood test  to see if i had  antibodies a lot of money10:31
adventurerthen i can go back to work10:31
adventurerwithout worry10:31
adventureri may have to work with worry10:31
IronYI work from home with equal worry10:31
adventureri did UberEats yesterday but that might be my last day/night for a while10:31
x3n4Had the same thing... 2 days of fever, never felt so sick in my life. After those 2 days though, fit as can be 10:31
adventurerjust hunker down a while now i think10:31
IronYx3n4: how long ago10:31
IronYadventurer: I really want someone to tell me microwaving food kills it10:32
x3n43/3,5 weeks ago10:32
IronYso I can feel confident in ordering food10:32
IronYyuriwho: 10:32
IronYtell me I can microwave take out10:32
adventureryeah I am thinking there is a danger in food what if the person preparing it does not do proper hygeine procedures or does but just breaths on it10:32
IronYI cannot not see how microwave would not kill it10:33
yuriwhoheat kills10:33
adventurerI don't know I am  no expert10:33
IronYSo thus nukeing something for 2 mins10:33
IronYwill fairly surely kill10:33
x3n4Well, the chance is quite high that you will get the virus at some point...10:33
IronYx3n4: Oh no doubt there10:33
yuriwhoI will not certify how much or if complete10:33
IronYI just want everyone else to build a data set before my turn comes ;)10:34
x3n4Better not to get sick all at the same time though10:34
IronYI beta test software, not healthcare10:34
IronY"Don't use the microwave, and other tips for faster internet while ..."10:34
IronYOh yeah lots of data on this search I tell you10:35
IronYsupposedly not according to this local news cast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xq4OMpH6tc10:35
IronYlol10:35
IronY'there is no scientific evidence microwaving things kill things"10:36
IronYSo there is also none against then10:36
IronYthanks news lady10:36
IronY"There is currently little scientific information about the survival of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) on the surface of open food. Work with similar viruses shows that some food surfaces don’t allow the virus to survive at all, but some do."10:38
IronYIts been 3 fucking months10:38
IronYI feel that would be one of the first things as a researcher I would be looking into outside of how to cure/treat/inoculate it, 10:39
IronYand I am sure those are different disciplines of research10:39
IronYwell folks10:45
IronYI cannot confirm not deny the microwave10:45
IronYI can say that Just transplanting the food into an oven at 200c for a few mins should do the truck10:45
IronY170~ for a flu, So I am adding an extra 30 for good measure10:45
IronYif this was bacteria, a microwave at 2mins would be effective10:47
x3n4Just heat that food up!10:47
IronY%data usa10:47
BrainstormIronY: In all areas, US, there are 104256 cases, 1704 deaths (1.6% of cases), 2525 recoveries as of March 28, 09:34Z. See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=US for time series data.10:47
IronY"Food-borne illnesses afflict at least 6 million Americans annually, causing at least 9,000 deaths and $4 billion to $6 billion in medical costs and other expenses. "10:47
IronYUntil the states reaches 9k, ur still more likely to die from another virus on food10:48
x3n4Just put your food in the oven or microwave10:49
x3n4Heat it up real good10:49
x3n4Almost no virus or bacteria survives that amount of heat10:50
IronYBacteria may multiply10:50
IronYdepending on the bacteria of course10:50
IronYgiven additional heal10:50
IronY(according to a test done on a sponge, but the viruses were wiped out how ever)10:50
IronYalso yeah even in the microwave, it is the heat produced, not the vibrations / microwave radation 10:51
x3n4But bacteria are not the problem right now.10:51
IronYoh I know10:51
x3n4Covid is a virus 10:51
IronYthat just be a kick in the gut though10:51
x3n4So just put it in the microwave10:51
IronYProtect urself from covid, end up killing yourself with a random bacteria lol10:51

LjLmefistofeles, i'm sorry, my sister and her new boyfriend visited, i had to attend18:35
LjLbut apparently r/Italy posted the numbers anyway18:35

LjL5974 is more or less like yesterday?18:35
bin_bashLjL: that's not very responsible18:35
LjLand the deaths... very many but less than yesterday18:35
LjLbin_bash, they stayed out of the door and we were at least 2m apart at all times18:36
bin_bashwell thats good at least18:36
LjLwe still have to queue for hours for groceries, unless we get lucky enough with online ordering18:36
LjLwhich, incidentally, is something younger people can do much better than the "vulnerable people at risk"18:36

LjLso i'd say until they find a way to deliver groceries to *everybody*, i won't feel very guilty for the odd visit with precautions18:37
LjLif they want us welded inside like in Wuhan, then give us food thx18:37
bin_bashLjL: that's crazy. you dont have the ability to order online and then have the groceries put into your car?18:38
LjLno18:38
LjLwe have the ability to have groceries delivered to our home, but that system is collapsing18:38
bin_bashdamn i'm sorry18:38
LjLthey have slots within the next 15 days18:38
LjLbut they're all full, always18:38
LjLso what you have to do is: wait until midnight, when next slots open18:39
bin_bashyeah the delivery here is pretty much full except costco18:39
LjLthen keep trying and trying again, because everyone else is doing the same, overloading the site18:39
LjLif you get lucky at some point you manage to secure a slot18:39
bin_bashwhere my mom lives delivery is all full, but she can order it and have someone put it in her car18:39
LjLif you don't, better luck next night18:39
LjLbin_bash, we don't have much of a car culture so these things aren't really done here afaik18:39
LjLat least they might be in some places but i'm not aware of it18:40
bin_bashyeah makes sense18:40
bin_bashwhen my mom was in rome for a month or so she said that was a very interesting difference18:40
bin_bashshe loved it18:40
LjLthere's definitely many cars in rome18:40
LjLtoo many, more traffic than milan18:40
LjLbut it's kind of different18:40
bin_bashalso she became friends with the truffle vendor at the train depot hahaha18:40
LjLhmmm truffle18:41
LjLi'd like me some truffle18:41
bin_bashyeah it's different from the us too, like nyc where she lives (just outside the city)18:41
LjLmaybe NYC is a bit more like here18:41
bin_bashnyc has lots and lots of cars18:41
LjLlittle to no parking available18:41
bin_bashwell depends where you are, but pmuch in manhattan yeah18:42
LjLyeah, but, we have lots and lots of cars too, compared to 1) the size of the city, which is geographically small, and 2) the fact most buildings don't have their own parking spaces18:42
bin_bashshe lives in the suburbs tho so a car is kinda necessary18:42
bin_bashyeah18:42
LjLright, suburbs is different18:42
LjLbut i'm in Milan proper and i can park in my area because we get a pass thing for that18:42
bin_bashi think youre right about the culture though18:42
LjLbut if i have to go *somewhere else*, which is kind of the point of using a car, then i can't park in other areas18:43
bin_bashwow that sucks18:43
LjLexcept for a small number of paid parking spaces, which are often all filled18:43
bin_bashit's not like that in nyc18:43

bin_bashstreet parking is pretty much fair game, and garage parking exists but it's very expensive18:43
LjLO.o18:43
LjLlook at Brainstorm18:43
bin_bashso either you drive around looking for street parking or you take out a second mortgage on a garage lol18:43
bin_bashtrump is a moron18:43
LjLbin_bash, we've done the latter, but we mostly still park in the street :P18:43
bin_bashheh easier tbh18:44
LjLbin_bash, our building has parking spaces in the basement, having some of them was compulsory in the 60s when it was built. but they only had to build like for 30% of the apartments, so our apartment doesn't actually have one18:45
LjLnowadays they have to build *more* than the apartments inside18:45
LjLso our garage is in another building18:46
LjLthree floors underground18:46
LjLstreet is easier18:46
bin_bashyeah makes sense18:46
LjLMilan still has tons of housing that was built in the 20s and 30s, obviously no garages there18:46
LjLand there are virtually no actual houses18:46
LjLmost of urban and also suburban Italy is like that18:47

IronYPeople thought the same thing about Jobs until he died of an easily avoidable cancer and could not save his own life lol21:41
xrogaanthey are armchair analysts?21:41
IronYxrogaan: there trying to scare you and also sell you supplies via their online outlets21:42
IronYxrogaan: Bill gates did X but buy Y from website Z now!21:42

python476do you guys use far uvc lights ?21:47
LjLcool thanks ubLIX, i guess you don't know what to do with your time now do you :P21:55
LjLpython476, i used a cheap UV torch and it hurt my eyes and i got scared21:55
LjLsince i had not realized even those tiny things could be not so great21:55
python476some say sub 200nm (far uvc) is ok21:58
python476for skin and eyes21:58
python476to be checkde21:58
python476night21:58
LjLpython476, well my eyes didn't like it, but obviously i've not quite gone blind either21:59
python476uvc can harm fully, just not far uvc (according to some)22:00
LjLpython476, well i have no idea what wavelength that thing is technically22:01
LjLpython476, it's very cheap mini-torches sold mainly to people who want to figure out where their cat peed22:02
LjLalthough i bought it for DROPLETS22:02
LjLand didn't really find any22:02

IronYAmazon just brought me a shit ton of candy 22:03
IronYthanks amazon22:03
bin_bashLjL: it's a blacklight then22:03
bin_bashuva22:03
IronYI have a UV pot lamp (LED array)22:04
LjLbin_bash, it emits some visible light too22:04
IronYwas thinking of mounting it under my cupboards / above kitchen counter22:04
IronYif only for added sterilization22:04
LjLand that won't be harmful when you're around?22:04
IronYas in damage the cupboards?22:05
bin_bashLjL: it maybe be very harmful22:05
LjLIronY, as in damage to your skin and/or yees22:06
LjLeyes22:06
IronYthe amount of uv this puts off is less damaging then going outside22:06
IronYalso LED lights are safer at providing D3 then our sun22:06
IronYhttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/09/170913193101.htm22:06
LjLbut also our pupils contract when they see sunlight22:08
LjLthey don't contract for light they can see (but which could still damage them)22:08
IronYOh I have no plans at staring at it22:09
IronYbut it would offer a little sterlization in the kitchen22:09
IronYwould also act as a deterent22:09
LjL"skin samples exposed to RayVio's UV LED for just 0.52 minutes produced more than twice as much vitamin D3 as samples exposed to 32.5 minutes of sunlight"22:09
IronYwould u break in to the one house that looks like day time inside22:09
LjLthat sounds good for D3 but potentially bad in terms of what's going on with that skin22:09
IronYLjL: I am a person who has been in a dark basement for most of the last few years22:09
IronYI figure I got a buffer on uv exposure at this point ;)22:10

LjLIronY, i don't really know the specifics and python476 probably researched this a lot more, but i know that some UV lights that are used for sterilization / disinfection are extremely harmful to humans even with short exposure times22:11
IronYOh I see the disconnect22:11
IronYthis is not meant for sterlization22:11
IronYit is just a 60 dollar pot lamp22:11
IronYbut any additional heat + uv on that surface would help22:11
LjLah22:11
IronYThis is like 'I am outside on a slightly overcast day' levels of uv22:12
IronYnot 'I am standing next to the sun' kinda uv22:12
IronYI would not use this as a reliable way to steralize anything22:12
IronYI just have it and it is sitting there not being used22:12
IronYSo I figured if anything it be a neat project22:12
LjLfair enough22:13
LjLwhat python was describing does seem to have studies about it trying to show safety and efficacy22:13
LjLfar UVC, that is22:13
LjLi'd still feel a little uneasy i guess22:14
IronYI looked into the UVC thing22:14
IronYthing is, at this point, I would be skeptical purchasing anything that claims to fight covid1922:14
IronYif only because if it did actually work, I would suspect it to not be available for purchase22:14
LjLyeah22:14
LjLalthough i manage to buy an oxygen concentrator \o/22:14
LjLprobably not even CE marked22:14
LjLbut if it explodes and kills me, i'll definitely call Amazon about it22:15
IronYLOOL22:15
IronYnot at ur death, but your postmortem phone call22:15

LjLaradesh, not really23:23
aradeshas far as i know, the UK is23:23
LjLthere are probably some planes still23:24
LjLbut we can't go anywhere, including very near our homes, unless we can state a valid reason23:24
LjLand police definitely check stations and airports for those23:24
LjL(they also check people randomly in the streets)23:24
LjLso if you are like originally british and you have to go back, that's probably allowed, if you find a flight23:24
aradeshah23:24
LjLbut i certainly can't go to london because i want to take pictures of the queen23:24

aradeshnah we say 'public service announcement' i just wasn't familiar with the acronym23:27
LjLaradesh, also i'm not convinced a walk away from people is more dangerous than... queuing for two hours in front of a supermarket23:27
LjLi do realize food is required23:27
aradeshso does that mean italy has increased its restrictions?23:27
LjLbut when a journalist asked if the goevvrnment could consider universal deliveries, the civil protection guy was like NO, absolutely impossible23:27
aradeshhere they say we can go for a walk, run, or bicycle ride for exercise, once a day23:27

LjLnot much flattening of the curve when there is still a place where people are at extremely high risk of infection23:28
aradeshi.e., shops?23:28
aradeshhow have they dealt with it in places like japan, korea, china?23:28
aradeshwhere they've had relative success?23:28
LjLaradesh, the latest rule here is that you can do it within 300 meters (or 500 meters, i don't know, i've heard more than one thing) of your home23:28
aradeshwere people abel to shop by themselves?23:28
LjLbut TV just said "don't"23:28
LjLaradesh, Korea hasn't locked down at all i think23:28
LjLjust aggressive contact tracing23:28
aradeshnice23:29
LjLchina, in Wuhan i believe it's all food delivery now23:29
LjLpeople will probably get a little thinner i suspet23:29
LjLi don't believe they can just go to a website and pick their food23:29
aradeshthough they are managing to relax things in wuhan now, i hear23:29
LjLthey'll have rations of things, and not often23:29
aradeshtalking about opening schools again23:29
LjLyeah, apparently23:29
LjLwe'll see23:29
LjLopening school is big23:29
aradeshthat's good news no?23:29
LjLi don't know23:29
LjLit depends on what we'll see about their numbers in the coming day23:29
LjLday23:29
LjLdaysssss23:30
aradeshwell if they abandon the idea quickly, we'll find out if it's a good idea or not :P23:30
LjLi think reopening schools shouldn't be THE priority23:30
LjLit may be a rather big vector23:30
LjLeven though children themselves rarely get sick23:30
LjLat the same time, any part of these lockdowns are heavily affecting some people23:30
LjLi wouldn't want to be a politician handling this23:31
LjLand it's easier to criticize them than to be there doing it23:31
LjLbut they can still be criticized :P23:31
oxaliswhat's new since last monday morning, besides everything just getting gradually worse?23:31
LjLwell, Africa and India are now meaningfully infected and/or in lockdown23:32
LjLthat will be something very bad that i suspect most people in the west will try to ignore23:32
LjLnot like we can't do much of anything else23:32
oxalisIndia is a huge deal.23:32
LjLyeah23:32
oxalisLots of people in close quarters with questionable public health standards23:32
LjLthere are places in india which are extremely densely populated, and i don't believe healthcare is up to par with just about anything23:32
LjLalthough they stopped an earlier epidemic that could have become real bad23:33
LjLthey very quickly figured out what it was23:33
LjLsomething that didn't happen in Wuhan23:33
oxalisAfrica isn't good news, but TBF, I think they'll handle this better than India because they're more spread out23:33
LjLor if it did happen, then some politician made it not-happen23:33
LjLeh i'm not sure about that23:33
LjL%wik Virus (2019 film)23:34
aradeshi'd expect it to spread slowly in africa because there's probably less travel?23:34
BrainstormLjL, from English Wikipedia: Virus is a 2019 Indian Malayalam-language medical thriller film co-produced and directed by Aashiq Abu set in backdrop of the 2018 Nipah virus outbreak in Kerala.

LjLaradesh, it's already confirmed in almost all african countries23:34
LjL47 out of 50 i think23:34
oxaliswell - when I say "handle this" I'm not referring to their response, but how well they weather the storm, so-to-speak23:34
aradeshbut youv'e also got travel within the countries23:34
LjLoxalis, Africa has densely populated places too, and many parts have virtually no healthcare23:34
aradeshi imagine there are a lot of people in those countries who don't really go very far23:35
aradeshwhereas in the 1st world, people travel around all the time23:35
LjLaradesh, but if the population is dense they will just infect everyone in a big wave23:35

LjLi've watched this simulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxAaO2rsdIs23:36
_io_hi I made a room for talking about things other than Covid19 it's called ##moratorium may I please advertise it here?23:36
LjL%title23:36
BrainstormLjL: From www.youtube.com: Simulating an epidemic - YouTube23:36
oxalisNeed to change Brainstorm's script23:36
Bluebird3030oxalis, India 933 cases confirmed. Portugal 5,170. India so far it's not a huge deal23:36
LjLit shows various simplified possible situations23:36
LjL_io_, you have just done that i guess... what do you mean by "advertise" exactly?23:36
LjLBluebird3030, that means they haven't tested, not that they have 933 cases23:36
LjLoxalis, what do i need to change?23:36
Bluebird3030LjL, According to Coronavirus map they have23:37

oxalisLjL: ^23:37
_io_LjL: basically just to mention it once in a while! maybe with colors like are you alittle fatigued by wallto23:39
_io_wall corona virus coverage? Do u need a vacay from COVID?? you are invited to ##moratorium , where we talk exclusively about other things!23:39
_io_wait that was supposed to have colors23:39
_io_well you get the point tho.23:39
LjL_io_, i... don't think i can say yes to that23:40
LjLi don't even know how this channel got nearly 500 people23:40
LjLbut i've practically never mentioned it anywhere23:40
LjLi've sometimes mentioned it in ##science when the topic came up23:40
_io_okay.23:40
_io_no problem no hard feelings maybe I'll come up with like a better proposal23:41
_io_with colors And stuff23:41
_io_tomorrow23:41
LjLsome people put a channel name in their realname field if they want others to know about it23:41
_io_oh that is good I'll try that ty23:41
LjLit's really... not about colors, or rather, colors definitely make it worse in my mind :P23:41
_io_hum23:41
bin_bash_io_: advertising other channels is generally against the rules23:41
_io_well that's why I asked.23:42
bin_bashit's a violation of irc etiquette in general, just fyi23:42
_io_this one would definitely not be competing for users.23:42
_io_usually it's considered sniping users23:42
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health at 22:39 UTC: (news): Coronavirus live updates: NY Gov balks at federal quarantine talk, CDC warns on chloroquine — from r/WorldNews at 22:39: Livethread IX: Global COVID-19 Pandemic → https://is.gd/8Vp8DA23:42
_io_but due to the specific topic, there would hypothetically be zero overlap23:42
LjL_io_, that's why i've never mentioned this channel in ##coronavirus but even if you aren't "competing for users" it's really nothing to do with the topic and something particularly visible with colors and stuff would make it... literally an ad23:43
LjLyou generally pay for ads23:43
LjLdo you want to pay me for each ad message? :P23:43
oxalis%djia23:43
_io_no I hope your not taking payments for allowing people to break rules!!23:43
LjLwell there are no rules, i make the rules, really, but, i don't like ads in general23:45
LjLi don't have ads on my youtube videos23:45
LjLi block ads in my browsers23:45
LjLi would be somewhat hypocritical if i accepted money for ads23:45
LjLbut at the same time that does mean i don't like to see ads23:46
LjLi do believe most channels on freenode also have rules against this, or otherwise disallow it. but every channel can have its own rules, so that's not a concern to me. i just... agree with that rule, i guess23:46
