| LjL | i'm sure he's been taken out of context | 02:18 |
| pyna | it's pretty much the same with context | 02:20 |
| pyna | huh nice the beer delivery service i've been using for a couple months just sent me an email saying that starting today, they can deliver me beer | 02:26 |
| LjL | maybe they've drunk too much of their own product | 02:26 |
| LjL | wait, their product is delivery, you can't drink delivery | 02:26 |
| pyna | i order beer and popsicles from them | 02:27 |

| LjL | Chief investigator Prof Peter Horby said: "This is the only drug so far that has been shown to reduce mortality - and it reduces it significantly. It's a major breakthrough." | 16:46 |
| LjL | but also | 16:47 |
| LjL | It cut the risk of death by a third for patients on ventilators. For those on oxygen, it cut deaths by a fifth. | 16:47 |
| LjL | we're scraping the bottom of the barrel aren't we | 16:47 |
| dzho | @Ljl hydroxychloroquine was scraping the bottom of the barrel. | 18:05 |
| dzho | dexamethasone, if it holds up to peer review and further use would be a step up from remdesivir | 18:07 |

| LjL | dzho, was hydroxychloroquine scraping the bottom of the barrel, or speculating with stocks? | 18:37 |
| LjL | because i had the feeling for "some people" it was the latter | 18:37 |
| LjL | stocks as in company shares | 18:38 |
| LjL | not as in hydroetc stock | 18:38 |
| dzho | why not both? | 18:51 |
| dzho | but yeah if you have to wait until your on a vent to get a benefit, yuck | 18:52 |
| dzho | I guess it says it is some small help to people on oxygen | 18:53 |
| Arsanerit | I find it interesting how some of the critics of the new German corona warning app have no problem using fitness tracking applications that are far more privacy-invasive. | 19:16 |
| LjL | Arsanerit, i use and try to advertise http://gadgetbridge.org/ which is a fully offline app with support for a few fitness bands (and smartwatches) | 19:50 |
| LjL | i'm sure you'll always find "some" that behave inconsistently, and in fact i'm going to bet that we all behave incosistently in some ways | 19:51 |
| LjL | but i'm also sure you'll find many people who criticize Germany's app (or other contact tracing apps for that matter) are the same people who use a de-Googled Android, get all or most of their apps from F-Droid, use free software fitness trackers, and so on | 19:52 |
| LjL | of course, the new versions of Huami bands, which are the brand best supported by Gadgetbridge, come with encrypted communications between band/watch and phone, precisely because they don't want apps like Gadgetbridge to be able to be used instead of the official, data-eating app | 19:53 |
| LjL | so we'd want free hardware too eventually, can't rely on inexpensive hardware where most of the money is made by selling your data | 19:54 |
| LjL | but still, for now i can, and so i do | 19:54 |
| Arsanerit | LjL: I don't use any fitness applications. I use a Garmin handheld GPS device, which I'm pretty sure is offline, as it has no transmitting antenna :) | 21:56 |
| LjL | cool, although my point is unchanged, it is possible to use fitness trackers without "applications that are far more privacy-invasive", and i suspect it is done by many of those who object to the invasiveness of contact tracing applications (though i obviously have no hard data on this, i doubt anyone does or it has been studied at all) | 21:58 |
