BrainstormNew from r/Coronavirus: Coronavirus: What you need to know about the coronavirus right now → https://is.gd/2lzCyV08:27
_io_i recommend just going somewhere safe . such as the woods .08:29
_io_if there's nobody there, nobody can give u corona. and u don't have to wear those fucking godawful masks.08:29
_io_holy shit I hate the masks.08:30
_io_I know there necessary. I'd hate having Covid 19 or giving it to anyone a lot more. yes.08:30
_io_but fuck I hate them.08:30
_io_the worst part of all this for me isn't the anxiety or shutdowns or waiting in lines in the sun or economic impacts or any of that. it's the masks.08:31
_io_idk I mean I guess it's bad that people are dying. I mean it is for sure. not I guess. it is bad. but idk anyone who has got sick *knock wood* so. for me personally it's the masks .08:32
_io_just stock up on nutrient dense foods like nuts and jerky and dried fruits at Costco and get out of town if you can. 08:34
_io_that's all there is to it really. even if u never camped before in your life, u can just get some manuals and watch a bunch of bushcraft videos and learn everything u need to know in less then a month.08:36
_io_it is nice to be in touch with nature anyway.08:36
_io_that's my advice anyway.08:37
_io_there's really no way to be safe around a bunch of people.08:38
_io_go where everyone isn't, get comfortable, read some books, play some switch, wait it out.08:38
_io_it isn't just safest for you, it's also good citizenship.08:39
_io_I know your probably thinking "what if you're old?"08:40
Dynaap4lmtree: i hope your mom and yourself ... sending safe wishes from Melbourne Australia08:40
_io_but old people love nature. and it's important to focus on quality of life as well as quantity.08:40
_io_say you are coming to the end of your time.08:41
_io_would u rather spend 1 year in basically heaven, surrounded by God's green earth and waterfalls and trees half a millenial old and squirrels and woodpeckers..08:41
_io_or 2 year locked inside your house in some suburban nightmare08:42
_io_old people. especially old people. should go camping.08:42
ap4lmtree_io_, i am listening to that podcast and it is very detail08:44
_io_"the inquiry".is generally a very good podcast! they always do the "4 experts" format.08:45
ap4lmtreehowever, it is uk, so it has less anti science population08:45
_io_yeah for sure08:45

ap4lmtreewhich is not anti science like georgia or texas, or florida, but still has to deal with that as relatives08:46
ap4lmtree_io_, are you in the uk?08:46
_io_no Canada08:46
ap4lmtree_io_, it looks like covid-19 spreads in hot and humid countries like iran and AU during these summer months08:52
ap4lmtreeso that flu pattern or characteristics is not so same08:53
ap4lmtreerather, the website i got in google is there is still not enough info08:53
_io_but combined with cold/flu it's gonna be way more dangerous.08:54
_io_and contagious.08:54
ap4lmtreeyes08:54
ap4lmtreewhen are you going to get your flu shot?08:54
ap4lmtree_io_, you live in western or eastern canada?08:54
_io_oh idk I should. Western.08:54
_io_idk I never ever get cold or flu. like ever.08:54
_io_it's been ten years or something since I had one. something like that.08:55
_io_other than, I was sick for most of January. but I think that was probably corona tbh.08:55
_io_even though they said it wasn't here yet 08:55
ap4lmtreedo you have symptoms recently like fatigue?08:56
_io_i mean.. I never get cold or flu and I had all the main corona symptoms. and it lasted long too.08:56
_io_oh no. not really. I mean I have hypersomnia but. I have good days still. nothing out of character.08:57

de-facto"Question:  Are there viral load differences between asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection?"23:27
de-facto"Findings:  In this cohort study that included 303 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection isolated in a community treatment center in the Republic of Korea, 110 (36.3%) were asymptomatic at the time of isolation and 21 of these (19.1%) developed symptoms during isolation. The cycle threshold values of reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic patients were similar to those in symptomatic patients."23:27
de-facto"Meaning:  Many individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection remained asymptomatic for a prolonged period, and viral load was similar to that in symptomatic patients; therefore, isolation of infected persons should be performed regardless of symptoms."23:27

de-facto"Many unknowns exist about human immune responses to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 reactive CD4+ T cells have been reported in unexposed individuals, suggesting pre-existing cross-reactive T cell memory in 20-50% of people. However, the source of those T cells has been speculative."23:28
de-facto"Using human blood samples derived before the SARS-CoV-2 virus was discovered in 2019, we mapped 142 T cell epitopes across the SARS-CoV-2 genome to facilitate precise interrogation of the SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ T cell repertoire."23:28
de-facto"We demonstrate a range of pre-existing memory CD4+ T cells that are cross-reactive with comparable affinity to SARS-CoV-2 and the common cold coronaviruses HCoV-OC43, HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, or HCoV-HKU1. Thus, variegated T cell memory to coronaviruses that cause the common cold may underlie at least some of the extensive heterogeneity observed in COVID-19 disease."23:28
