LjLryouma, afaik it works. however it's very dangerous if you get exposed to it, and it only work on the proviso that it illuminates whatever needs to be disinfected directly (so, won't work on stuff in the shadow)01:32
LjLi remember reading some paper asserting it may not do a good enough job of cleaning N95 masks because due to the mesh in them, viral particles could literally be in the shadow01:33
ryoumaLjL: there is a dentist who uses it between appointments01:40
LjLi guess it would mostly work for air01:40
LjLi think it can also be installed in HVAC systems (hidden from direct exposure, obviously) as a filter of sorts01:40
de-factonot with humans present, radiation density probably would have to be high enough and wavelength short enough that also lots of ozone is produced, which is (apart for UV-C light) incompatible with humans in the same room01:43
de-factoi tried it (accidentally) once, breathing ozone at first seems to be not so alarming (it smells weird) but you regret having done so for the following few days...01:45

de-factoi had an ozone generator and tried it inside on a room, i did not wait for it to clear ozone concentration prior to entering it, at first i hold my breath, but then tried to breathe and it was not so bad at the moment, but later i got serous coughing due to my lung having been attacked by the ozone01:56
de-factoso i only can warn from ozone it really is quite harmful even in small concentrations01:57

de-factowtf is EEE and why do Americans always tend to abbreviate the most important word in a sentence while preserving all the unnecessary garbage in full length?06:33
kreyren[m]Why is it not sane to get SARS-CoV-2 sample and nebulize it through an air jet so that I can inhale a small dose for my immune system to build antibodies ?06:59
kreyren[m]The lab sample that CDC ships to immunologist seems to have most of the virus particles dead or inactive anyway? 07:00
de-factodon't you think if they could determine who will get severe progressions prior to challenge with the pathogen they could prevent fatalities much more efficient?07:01
kreyren[m]Like it seems to depend on the amount of virus particles inhailed and persons health 07:02
de-factothats a conjecture to be proven07:02
de-factoand even if it would hold the second unknown is which pre-existing factors in fitness/health/immunologic capabilities would determine progression significantly07:03
ryoumawe're th only ones who do that?  --- 21:33 <de-facto> wtf is EEE and why do Americans always tend to abbreviate the most important word in a sentence while preserving all the unnecessary garbage in full length?07:04
de-factobtw there are inactivated "original virions" as vaccination in trials https://covidvax.org/covid19-vaccines-category/virus/inactivated-and-live-attuanuated07:04
kreyren[m]Like there are reports of people like a taxi driver on Prague in peak health and getting a severe progression because he was in contact with the virus from different sources for 12hours and nearly died  compared to me being in a room with a person who cough and later proven positive doesnt even have symptoms for 8 days now07:04
de-factoif you find out what really distinguishes the asymptomatic from the symptomatic carriers prior to exposure you should publish a paper about it07:06
kreyren[m]Well other then a fever and sore throat day 3 for 4 hours 07:06
kreyren[m]Like the health status in the relation to virus particles seems to be self evident 07:06
ryoumai won'(t comment on eee because i don't know about it, but it is possible that one of the diseases possibly caused by long covid is greatly worsened by a bunch of them07:07

kreyren[m]LjL might have something helpful to say about it though ^-^07:09
kreyren[m]Or I guess using a blood plasma from these that survived the infection might provide the resources for immune system to make antibodies in way that is more sane?07:11
kreyren[m]Compared to mentioned 07:11
de-factothere are many conjectures for impact on severity ranging from initial dose, over fitness and health to being primed by recent exposure to other "common cold" coronaviruses, the problem with all of those is how to prove them by data?07:12
kreyren[m]Grab few emos that wants to die anyway and let covid-19 infected patient cough in an area of 500cm increments I guess 07:14
kreyren[m]Probably not possible to do ethically 07:14
de-factoblood plasma from recoveries can be used to employ their antibodies to help curing infected, but that only "passive immunization" as in only buying them some time to develop their own (active) immune response, only giving someone antibodies would not teach the immune system how to build them07:14
kreyren[m]Aldo statistically alike mentioned taxi driver seems to be self evident enough to me ?07:15
kreyren[m]Ah true 07:16
de-factoactive immunization would be either vaccination or challenge with the real pathogen, hence the immune system figuring out by itself how to neutralize the characteristic functional parts and mechanisms of the pathogen07:17
kreyren[m]How do you prevent that from overwhelming the immune system and cytokine storm it 07:18
kreyren[m]I would think that in ideal scenario someone with a perfect health record exposed to someone caughing at him from 8m away would be a good control?07:20
kreyren[m]Or I guess 13m as the small particles can travel 10m 07:20
kreyren[m]And the reducing the distance and waiting 15 days ?07:21
de-factoidk probably making the immune system early aware of the presence so it can win against the exponential reproduction in a time race (hence the initial low dose conjecture) and if it still did not recognize the presence until large amounts of the pathogen are present and it overreacts due to discovering a big problem it may be suppressed by cortisone etc07:21
de-factothe processes are highly nonlinear dynamic, its not linearly controllable like reducing distance and wait etc07:22
kreyren[m]I see07:22
BrainstormUpdates for Madrid, Spain: +10864 cases (now 171085) since 3 days ago — Punjab, India: +2622 cases (now 79679), +68 deaths (now 2356) since a day ago — Andalusia, Spain: +2512 cases (now 42637), +20 deaths (now 1593) since 3 days ago — Castile - Castile La Mancha, Spain: +2147 cases (now 31277), +4 deaths (now 3057) since 3 days ago07:23
kreyren[m]But the theory fits right if I had a way to expose myself to a small dose of particles that wont overwhelm the immune system and allow it to fingerprint the virus and learn now to fight it to develop antibodies ?07:23
de-factothats one possibility, its not proven and may depend on many unknowns07:24
de-factoand even when that assumption holds: there is another assumption that mild or asymptomatic exposure is not enough to develop immunity07:25
kreyren[m]How else can you fight it assuming that starving it so that it woudnt ve able to reach more hosts and spread is not an option 07:25
de-factothe degree of immunity may depend on the severity of the fight with the disease07:25
kreyren[m]I see07:25
de-factowith unspecific "primitive" immunity without antibodies or such07:26
ryoumado asymptomatics fight hard?07:26
de-factothat would not involve the immune system to learn and remember how to fight that specific pathogen then07:26
ryoumaare mast cells and histamine related?  sites say keep taking allergy medicine.07:27
de-factoafaik that case of reinfection in Hong Kong did not develop antibodies in his first recovery (not sure though)07:27
de-factohe did not have severe symptoms either, so maybe did not had a strong enough fight with the pathogen to remember its characteristics07:28

LjLde-facto, it's just the alternate nickname, it got disconnected i guess, it's not smart enough to change back21:09
LjLand i'm not smart enough to set it to, so i just killed the znc instead21:09
de-factoah i understand, i think there is that keepnick znc module, yet noticed I did not activate it either21:12
de-factoi thought Brainstorm got a little brother or such :P21:13
LjLde-facto, it's actually three twins21:13
LjLa while ago i split it into three21:14
LjLwhich makes for some annoying quirks21:14
LjLbut it just wasn't coping with Python 2's terrible multithreading21:14
LjLso the two biggest modules, earthquakes and rss feeds, got their own proces snow21:14
de-factosounds cool :)21:14
LjLjust breaks things like the %more command21:15
LjLmaybe i'll manage to port the earthquakes stuff to python 321:15
LjLthe previous times i tried, i was stopped by the sheer annoyance of having to port the WHOLE thing21:15
LjLbut now that earthquakes is running separately maybe i could port just that one, it'd probably gain the most benefit21:15
de-factoyeah i can imagine that may be a pain indeed21:15
de-factotreat him well, he has rendered faithful service :)21:18
LjLin january python 2 support goes away completely21:22
LjLdistros will likely drop it so i probably can't keep it running like this for very logn21:22
LjLbut motivation is below sea level21:22
de-factoyeah i can imagine once its running well its hard to break it21:26
de-factono upgrade from the upstream authors of those modules?21:28
de-factoor did you write them yourself?21:28
de-factopossibly in some github forks?21:28
LjLde-facto, i wrote them myself, they are on my hard drive, barely backed up21:33
LjLthey go from messy to extremely messy, and the earthquake thing is just genuinely complicated21:33
LjLthe bot core itself is abandoned21:33

LjLit's a fork of phenny (also abandoned) that someone here on freenode made21:34
LjLnamely yano, jenni21:34
de-factowell thats the advantage and disadvantage in the same thing then: you know how your code works but noone else would know better than you 21:34
de-factoi never played with irc bots, whats the disadvantage of sopel?21:36
