erasmusI don't think it's safe to get the 2nd shot12:27

alyssa0your reply is weird12:44
alyssa0oh wait that's that stupid matrix thing12:45
alyssa0my bad12:45
de-factoerasmus, what is the basis of your assumption that a 2nd shot would not be safe?12:49
de-factogiven the amount of people that got a 2nd shot without problems, what is different in your assumed case?12:52
de-factoi mean there are effects that differentiate second shots from first shots, depending on vaccine platform, for example when using the same Adenovirus vector to inject the s-protein recipe there also will be some degree of immunity against that vector itself, making the 2nd shot arguably less effective than the first (with same Adenovirus that is new for first shot)12:54
de-factofor that reason Sputnik uses two different Adenovirus vectors or Jannsen tries to do it with one shot only12:55
oxekof the vaccines that use the adenovirus, and are multiple doses, do they not use a different strain of the Ad for the 2nd dose?12:55
de-factoyes Sputnik V uses Ad.26 for primer and Ad,5 for booster12:56
erasmuscause the spike proteins they use are in of themselves destructive to the body organs.12:56
erasmusI don't want to get covid either but I think considering the data we are given cannot be trusted since it's so political I think I will walk out.12:57
oxekhuman organs are not balloons...12:57
de-factoyes but in vaccinations only minuscule amounts of them get produced by cells that got the instruction for building them by the vaccine12:57
erasmusalso the fact that Pfizer made 3.5billion in 3 months and they won't release the patents to help the world.12:58
erasmusI don't feel safe about the long term safety issues associated with taking a vaccine we don't know much about.12:58
erasmusplus I am Type O negative.12:59
de-factoif you can prevent the damage of the s-protein induced by an infection with SARS-CoV-2 by a vaccination it makes a lot of sense to go for best protection that is available12:59
erasmusbut they have been proven to not work well against the variants.13:00
erasmusinfact we might be doing more damage now just like the war with antibiotics.13:00
de-factoyes they have decreased effectiveness against variants, but still protect very well against severe progressions13:01
de-factoi am always tempted to look at how it goes in Israel because they are ahead with vaccinations in comparison to most other countries13:01
erasmusprobably cause they created it13:02
de-factohuh? they bought enough vaccines in time (and payed almost double the price per dose)13:02
erasmuswith American money13:02
erasmuswho do you think funds them?13:02
de-factoirrelevant for my point13:03
erasmusnot sure how profitable salt and dates are these days13:03
de-facto.title https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/israel/ <-- look at how both cases and deaths go down13:03

erasmuseasier to make money interfering in other governments and stealing land13:03
de-factothey are at ~50 infections and ~2 deaths per day (for 9M citizens), thats a fantastic result compared to their previous numbers13:04
erasmusit's also warm a f there and sunny13:05
erasmussars-c0v-2 was made in a lab and likes those conditions.13:05

erasmusand yet big pharma backed by Gates won't release the patents to help them.13:06
erasmuseven though they have a lab perfectly suited to create more vax.13:06
de-factoIndia also got warm climate or Brazil13:06
erasmusyeah but they are dirty13:06
erasmusthey don't clean well13:06
erasmusthey shit outdoors13:07
erasmusdon't use toilet paper13:07
erasmusyou ever been there?13:07
erasmusit's a shithole13:07
de-factothe primary transmission path are aerosols, from human to human13:07
de-factoor droplets, again from human to human13:07
erasmusmaybe they are also really close-talkers13:07
erasmusif you gather in mass like they do and travel on overloaded trains that will happen13:08
de-factowhat i meant is that warm climate is not a guarantee for low infection numbers13:08
erasmusyou don't see that in Israel13:08
erasmussure it is13:08
erasmuswe saw that clearly in Australia13:08
erasmuswhen they had their winter13:08
oxekanyway, anyone else really worried about the gatherings that will happen in a couple days as a result of end of ramadan?13:08
erasmusit cycles a lot based on weather conditions13:08
oxekI think it will start a new massive wave13:09
oxekespecially in india13:09
de-factoits the behavior of people that influences the transmission scenarios, not so much the weather (apart from influencing peoples behavior that is)13:09
de-factoe.g. of course it helps when people spend their time outdoors (instead of indoors), its much easier to distance outdoors13:10
de-factoyet of course, as you said, traveling and large crowd gatherings without masks or distancing is also problematic outdoors13:10
erasmusthis virus doesn't transmit well outdoors in the day13:12
de-factobut to come back to your initial statement, i think 1st shot is most important to start protection against severe progressions and 2nd shot rises immunity above a level that also might prevent infection completely for longer times (or rise immunity above a level where there is also better protection against the variants)13:12
erasmusyeah I'm pretty sure I will skip the 2nd shot13:12
erasmusI have 3 days to decide.13:12
erasmusI'm not anti-vax either13:13
erasmusI'm anti thimerisol13:13
erasmusbut who isn't?13:13
de-factoand also if you are worried about the s-protein: for 2nd shot that directly will be neutralized by the antibodies from the 1st shot, so it provokes an increased immunity while being even more safe than 1st shot13:13
erasmusyeah I think it's safer to not take it13:13
erasmusI will continue to wear a mask and socially distance.13:14
de-factoif you skip the 2nd shot you wont know how long your immunity will last (because the vaccine schedule was evaluated and approved with 2-shot plan)13:14
erasmusthey don't know that now13:14
erasmusand it's not immunity13:14
erasmusit means that the virus has a less chance of becoming the disease.13:15
de-factoyou might be susceptible to more variants or earlier again when your immunity wanes off more quickly because you aborted your vaccinations13:15
erasmusyou do understand that right?13:15
erasmusyou know you can still get infected after getting the shots13:15
erasmusit doesn't make you immune from getting the infection13:15
erasmustell me you understand that13:15
erasmusyou don't understand that do you?13:16
de-factoyes its all a question of probabilities, reinfection with 1 shot only is a lot more probable than reinfeciton with 2nd shot13:16
erasmusthese shots prevent the virus from becoming the disease.13:16
erasmusdoesn't mean you cannot get infected and infect others.13:16
erasmusit's sorta crucial that you understand that.13:16
de-factoalso it may mean that if restrictions will be taken back, and you did not get fully vaccinated, you might be treated as if never vaccinated in front of the law13:16
erasmusyes but you are not indicating that you understand that13:16
erasmusfuck the law13:17
de-factothere is a whole spectrum of immunity that may result from vaccination or recovery13:17
erasmusthe way you are talking it sounds like you think you get fully vaccinated and then you cannot get infected or spread it to others.13:17
de-factoit ranges from sterilizing immunity (directly prevents infection when contamination happens, probably would require vaccines that produce IgA antibodies on mucus)13:18
erasmuseh?13:18
erasmuslisten13:18
erasmusyou don't get it I can tell.13:18
erasmusI'll explain it13:18
erasmusthere is the infection which is the virus known as sars-cov-2.13:19
erasmusthen there is the disease known as covid-19.13:19
erasmusyou can take all the vaccines you want13:19
erasmusthey don't prevent you from getting fully infected by the virus.13:19
erasmusthey teach your system to prevent the virus from becoming the disease.13:19
erasmusthink of it like HIV and full blown aids.13:20
de-factothen those intramuscular injected vaccines that we have now mostly induce IgG antobodies that prevent progression of a small initial infection, hence probably will prevent most of the symptomatic infecitons (as tested in the trials with efficacy) and also many asymptomatic infections (but already less than symptomatic)13:20
erasmusyou can still fuck someone and get HIV13:20
erasmusbut you take a drug that prevents the HIV from becoming AIDS.13:20
erasmusand you can still spread the HIV.13:20
erasmusgot it?13:20
erasmusunderstand?13:20
erasmushe doesn't understand.13:21
de-factothey also induce cellular immunity (Th1 dominated CD4+ and CD8+ immunity), that is broader and may be less susceptible to evasion from mutants that only changed a small part of the spike-glycoprotein to prevent antibody binding13:21
erasmusthis is not like vaccines in the past where you get a small bit of it and your body then creates the immune respeonse.13:21
erasmusthis is instructions that are given through a needle that teach your system how to create and manufacture the resistance.13:22
erasmusyou are using all fancy words and shit but you clearly have not grasped the most essiential shit.13:22
de-factobut yes you are correct, a small infection might happen with the current generation of vaccines and it might mean that people may be slightly infectious for their environment for a short time (but much less than without that level of immunity)13:22
erasmusyou will get true herd immunity like they will in India by letting people get it13:23
de-factono that is not true13:23
erasmusthey will get there much faster than we will13:23
erasmusyes it is13:23
erasmusthat is how herd immunity works.13:23
de-factothe level of immunity from recovery is barely 80% for below 64 years and 50% for above 64 years13:24
de-factowith the same variant of course13:24
de-factoso much less than vaccinaitnos13:24
erasmuswhere are you getting this ""data"" from13:24
de-facto.title https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00575-4/fulltext13:25
de-factothere is the data13:25
Brainstormde-facto: From www.thelancet.com: Assessment of protection against reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 among 4 million PCR-tested individuals in Denmark in 2020: a population-level observational study - The Lancet13:25
de-facto"During the first surge (ie, before June, 2020), 533 381 people were tested, of whom 11 727 (2·20%) were PCR positive, and 525 339 were eligible for follow-up in the second surge, of whom 11 068 (2·11%) had tested positive during the first surge. Among eligible PCR-positive individuals from the first surge of the epidemic, 72 (0·65% [95% CI 0·51–0·82]) tested positive again during the second surge compared with 16 819 (313:25
de-facto·27% [3·22–3·32]) of 514 271 who tested negative during the first surge (adjusted RR 0·195 [95% CI 0·155–0·246])."13:25
de-facto"Protection against repeat infection was 80·5% (95% CI 75·4–84·5). The alternative cohort analysis gave similar estimates (adjusted RR 0·212 [0·179–0·251], estimated protection 78·8% [74·9–82·1]). In the alternative cohort analysis, among those aged 65 years and older, observed protection against repeat infection was 47·1% (95% CI 24·7–62·8). We found no difference in estimated protection against repeat infection by se13:25
de-factox (male 78·4% [72·1–83·2] vs female 79·1% [73·9–83·3]) or evidence of waning protection over time (3–6 months of follow-up 79·3% [74·4–83·3] vs ≥7 months of follow-up 77·7% [70·9–82·9])."13:25
de-facto"Our findings could inform decisions on which groups should be vaccinated and advocate for vaccination of previously infected individuals because natural protection, especially among older people, cannot be relied on.13:26
de-facto"13:26
de-factoalso your question about 2nd dose: look at this study here, how well it rises immunity (hence also against variants and to give some safety margin for longer term immunity)13:28

de-factoremember your risk is risk = (1 - vaccine_efficiency), so if it was 30 % = (100%  - 70%) for fist shot it would be 6-fold less when it was only 5% = (100% - 95%) just as an example13:34
erasmusso you get it13:34
de-factoi dont get why you dont want your 2nd shot, imho it does not make any sense13:35
erasmuscause it's a drug that we don't know the long term consequences from taking.13:35
de-factoif you could get 6-fold better effect with a 2nd shot compared to only have 1st shot (at some point in time), why not go for it?13:35
erasmusit's not even FDA approved.13:36
erasmusI just fucking told you13:36
de-factowhat is different for the 2nd shot that was not already there in 1st shot?13:36
erasmusyou want to take something that the people who created this shit in the first place have been lying to you about?13:37
de-factowhat are you talking about?13:37
de-factoyou make less and less sense to me13:37
erasmusthey have been lying about where this came from13:37
erasmusthis was funded research13:37
erasmusgain of function research.13:37
de-factowell and how is that relevant for 2nd shots?13:38
erasmusthen they make this crazy ass profit. They hold these patents that much of it was created with your money13:38
erasmusoperation warp speed was your money13:38
erasmusand now they make crazy profits and don't share the vaccine with the world13:38
de-facto20 bucks per shot, thats equivalent to two meals13:38
erasmusand you are saying to me....why not just go for it!13:39
de-factohow is all that relevant for 2nd shot?13:39
erasmuscause I now have zero faith or trust in them.13:39
de-factoits about your personal safety, your own benefit in form of protection against COVID13:39
erasmuswhen I got the first shot I did not know about their profits nor did I know about them refusing to share the vaccines.13:39
erasmusI have natural protection13:40
erasmusI have a healthy immune system.13:40
erasmusI am Type O Negative13:40
erasmusin shape and I eat well.13:40
erasmusthis is just like putting all the kids on ritalin13:40
de-factoyou are lucky enough to get offered a 2nd shot, so it would be insane to refuse that opportunity, the majority of people envy you for that opportunity13:40
erasmusyeah your sheeple chat has convinced me now to not get it.13:41
erasmusthanks for that.13:41
erasmusI was already leaning that way anyways.13:41
de-factono it does not have anything to do with ritalin, their profits or any conspiracy, its just your own benefit that you can estimate by observing how it goes for all the other lucky bastards that already got fully vaccinated against this damn virus13:41
erasmusman-made virus13:42
erasmusyou are allowing them to profit from what they did13:42
erasmusthey fucked up all the kids on ritalin and lied to the parents about it's long term safety13:42
de-factoyou did not give any point against 2nd shot in terms of biology or medical research13:42
erasmusI looked at their profits13:43
erasmusI saw how they refused to share it with the world and listened to them lie about why.13:43
erasmusso this is life threatening but not so much so that profits are more important.13:43
erasmusfuck em13:44
de-factoAstraZeneca does not make any profit for example13:44
erasmusPfizer made 3.5 billion in 3 months.13:44
erasmusGates lied about why they won't share the vaccines.13:44
erasmusFauci lied about why they won't share the vaccines.13:45
erasmusthey are fully immune from penalties from long term health issues from them13:45
erasmusso say 10 years down the road you get sick and die from getting one of these vaccines13:46
erasmusthey can't be sued or have any responsibilty13:46
erasmusso does that answer your question?13:46
erasmusit's basically all about trust.13:46
erasmusI do not trust them13:47
de-factothat is very unlikely, the initial immune response settles at some point, the vaccine itself is gone after few days, why would there be an effect that only would show up after decades?13:47
erasmusI have no faith in my government to do the right thing either.13:47
erasmusde-facto they don't know. These are too new.13:47
erasmusthey don't know what will happen in the long term.13:47
erasmusbut they know they can't be held accountable for it.13:47
erasmusI'd rather gamble with mother nature.13:48
de-factoyes ultimately only in the long term we will be able to know what happened in long term, but we can observe from the past and extrapolate from that13:48
erasmusor hope that mother nature can shield me from this big pharma made virus.13:48
erasmusthere is no past13:48
de-factoyou know long covid is a thing?13:48
erasmusthis is not like any vaccine in the past.13:48
de-factoand its quite common, even in children13:48

de-factoinfection with SARS-CoV-2 impacts health of many that officially appear as fully recoveries in the statistics for many months13:50
erasmuspeople who had bad covid13:51
erasmushaving covid is not the same as having sars-cov-213:51
erasmussars-cov-2 is the virus13:51
erasmuscovid-19 is the disease.13:51
de-factoeven mild cases can develop long covid13:51
erasmuspeople who had covid-19 and left the hospital often go back cause of the damage to their organs13:51
de-factoit may be something auto-immune related, its not fully understood yet13:51

de-factoi live less than 100km from where the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine was developed and i still dont have any chance to get a vaccination offer here, i will have to wait for months until i get such an offer14:05
de-factoi wish they would have managed to buy more of it, so they could also make an offer to me, but i understand that first the groups with higher risk must be given that opportunity14:06
de-factoso tbh i dont understand how people lucky enough to already got such an offer refuse a 2nd shot for a fantastically well working and well tolerated vaccine (even in their own individual case since they already tolerated the 1st shot), it does not make any sense at all14:09
de-factomaybe people don't realize how lucky we are to have a vaccine with such a high level of efficacy and how lucky they are to get the offer for a full immunization14:11
de-factothe data will be most certain for that standard scheme that was given to the majority, and problems later (such as maybe evasion by mutants) will be addressed more urgently if they affect the majority (hence exactly that 2 dose scheme that was approved)14:12
de-factoif people only get 1 shot and their immunity wanes off earlier they even might contribute to breeding of mutants if their selection of mutations evade their lower level of immunity and is able to jump over to the next host14:13
de-factoso refusing a 2nd shot might even contribute to the necessity for a 3rd shot for the majority14:16
de-factoand of course increase the individual risk for getting a full infection with SARS-CoV-2 and develop COVID14:18

alyssa0you're wrong14:29
erasmushe's not right14:29
de-factowhere am i wrong?14:29
erasmuslook. If he wanted the vax shot so badly he could just drive to a state nearby where you can get it now14:30
erasmusyou walk in14:30
erasmusno questions asked. You get a free shot.14:30
de-factoerasmus, answer my question please, where am i wrong with what i said?14:30
erasmusthe excuse he cannot get it is fine if he lives in fucking Alaska14:30
alyssa0erasmus, you're taking too much of a political approach, for one, focusing on vaccination programmes, rather than the science14:31
de-factoyou dont have any clue14:31
alyssa0"THEY LIED!!!!11!11"14:31
alyssa0etc14:31
erasmusso refusing a 2nd shot might even contribute to the necessity for a 3rd shot for the majority14:31
alyssa0at this point I'm just waiting for someone to invoke Godwin's law14:31
erasmusby saying that you prove you do not understand that even with all the shots you can still get and give the virus.14:31
erasmusalyssa0 you are such a tryhard loser.14:31
alyssa0also people who lose arguments tend to call people "tryhard losers"14:32
erasmusignored.14:32
erasmusthat is the only way to deal with people like that.14:32
alyssa0I rest my case?14:32
erasmusit's like trying to deal with "controlled opposition"14:32
alyssa0oh no, not ignored14:33
de-factoyes viral replication always comes with a rate of randomly occurring mutations, and if they happen under a partial immunity (waning off faster from only 1 shot) those randomly occurring mutations that have a fitness advantage under such circumstances will get selected14:33
alyssa0de-facto, what's your background?14:33
erasmusif you get the vaccine that does not mean you have immunity to the virus14:33
erasmusif you get the vaccine you can still get infected and spread the infection.14:34
erasmusthe fact that you CLEARLY still do NOT understand that to me is very alarming.14:34
de-factoerasmus, you did not even understood what i said: refusing a 2nd shot enables faster waning off for immunity, hence increases the probability of viral replications happening under partial immunity, thereby selecting evasive mutations14:35
erasmusimmunity from what?14:35
de-factofrom 1st shot or recovery14:35
erasmuswhat?14:35
erasmussee14:36
erasmusyou don't understand.14:36

oxekthe more people take the vaccine, the better data we'll get, and (statistically) it will take less time for those conditions to be spotted15:37

guriyawho got covid here19:55
LjLguriya, actually not many that i know of, i've sometimes found it interesting that so few people ever showed up here saying they had it20:01
LjLbut there's been a couple20:01
guriyaLjL :O20:02
guriyaso vaccine introduce weak covid into body?20:03
LjLmaybe the last thing you want if you have covid is to be around people talking about how scary covid is20:03
LjLsome of the couple of people i vaguely remember having it here were people who were already in the channel *before* getting covid20:03
LjLguriya, no, most vaccines don't use a covid virus (SARS-COV-2), weakened or not20:03
LjLthey use different methods, mostly involving the S-protein (just a specific part of the virus)20:04
LjLbut in India there are a couple of vaccines that do use "weak covid"20:04
LjL(inactivated or attenuated, i.e. weakened)20:04
LjLmaybe one in china too20:04
guriyaLjL is that why in India virus is spreading more?20:04
LjLno20:04
LjLthe virus is spreading because not nearly enough people are vaccinated20:05
LjLalso there were some big masses of people meeting, which was a terrible idea20:05
guriyabut vaccine itelf got covid20:05
LjLno20:05
LjLvaccines aren't infectious20:05
LjLand they most certainly aren't the cause of the Indian surge20:05
LjLwhich, by the way, if you compare it to countries in Europe, is not even a *big* surge, going by the official numbers20:06
LjLi don't mean to play it down, the numbers are probably much bigger than the official ones, and it's a tragedy20:06
guriyaLjL are you Indian?20:06
LjLbut part of it is also just the healthcare system not being even close to equipped for coping with it20:06
LjLno20:06
LjLi am Italian, though, and we had some pretty bad situations here20:06
guriyaLjL Indian numbers are very less than they show now20:07
LjLyes, yes, i know20:07
LjLbut if anything, i was surprised that India didn't have such a big spike *sooner*20:07
LjLthere are all the conditions in India for a big spike to happen20:07
LjLthere is no need to think vaccines caused it, because there are a thousand other reasons20:08
guriyait already happened now,much more to come?20:08
LjLi don't know. the spike seeeeeems to be slowing down a bit20:08
LjLbut it's not clear20:08
LjLunfortunately, deaths come about 15 days after spikes in numbers20:08
LjLso there *will* be many more deaths to come20:08

guriyaI have serious cough for a month and muscus/phlegm20:09
guriyaShould I worry?20:09
LjLif you've had it for a month, then either it isn't covid, or if it's covid, you're out of the risk period20:09
LjLafter a month it's very unlikely that it will get worse20:10
LjLcan you get tested? (ideally without being with masses of other people)20:10
guriyaLjL dry cough for amonth and since 2 days only muscus/phlegm my worry is that I went to meet covid positive person20:10
guriya2 ays back20:10
LjLif you met them 2 days back and you started having mucus/phlegm 2 days ago, that isn't compatible with COVID, because COVID doesn't give symptoms *immediately*20:11
LjLon average, it takes about 5 days before the first symptoms20:11
guriyauscus started after 10-20mins after I met20:11
LjLthat has nothing to do with it20:11
LjLthe virus doesn't magically give you mucus after 20 minutes20:12
LjLif it gets worse in the *next* few days (next 2-10 days), then get tested20:12
guriyaLjL you make me feel good20:12
guriyaare you doctor?20:12
LjLno, i've just kept myself informed on COVID for more than a year20:12
guriyanice20:13
LjLi can give no medical advice, but i know that the virus definitely doesn't give symptoms after just 20 minutes20:13
LjLit takes some days20:13
LjLbut if you've met someone positive, then in my country, the advice would be to get tested ASAP20:13
LjLbut i don't know if that would be easy / wise in your country20:13
LjLtesting centers may also be places where it's easy to *get* COVID...20:13
guriyahow many days it would take person to die?20:14
LjLit varies a lot. i think they found it's something like one to two weeks after symptoms...? de-facto, do you remember this?20:14
LjLbut most people who get COVID don't die20:15
guriyaLjL because I have been coughing for more than a month20:15
LjLas i said, *if* you have had COVID for a month, then you are not at risk of dying anymore20:16
LjLit may take a while before you feel good again, though20:16
LjLsometimes COVID takes a long time to go away20:16

LjLsigh this .title command has become... meh20:16
LjLthanks GDPR20:16
guriyawhat are crucial symptoms other than dry cough20:17
guriyaso with covid if someone survive more than 13 days he/she is safe?20:17
LjLguriya, the only symptom i know of that is very specific to COVID is loss of smell/taste20:17
LjLno20:17
LjL13 days is just the average20:17
LjLbut after a month, if you were still at risk of dying, it would mean you are already in hospital, not just that you have a dry cough20:18
LjLif 1) you have COVID 2) after a month, all you have is still just cough20:18
LjLthen you're almost certainly not going to die from it20:18
de-factoso their fig 5 says symptoms->death: 13 days; symptoms->hospitalization: 5 days ; hospitalization->death: 8 days (7 without ICU and 12 with ICU)20:18
LjLbut there could be many other reasons you have a dry cough. like allergies in this period.20:18
guriyaIt helps a lot20:19
guriyaThank you20:19
de-factotheir figure 4: Dyspnoea 73%, Fever 67% ; Cough 32%, Diarrhea 6% ; Hemoptysis 1%20:19
guriyaif a person I know get covid symptoms can I do anything in these 5-8days to save?20:19
LjLdyspnoea means difficulty breathing. if you find it hard to breathe, then get urgent medical attention (if possible)20:20
guriyaI don't know if I had difficulties in breathing as I breath with single nose20:20
LjLguriya, there has been no treatment found that is *clearly* helpful, unfortunately20:20
guriyafor so many years20:20
LjLguriya, nah, that's just a stuffed nose20:20
LjLdifficulty breathing... you'd knew if you had it20:20
LjLit means you feel like you are not getting enough air20:20
de-factoeverything blood thinning (preventing thrombosis) is a good idea i guess20:20
LjLit feels *bad*20:21
guriyaLjL like how?20:21
LjLguriya, like you're gasping for air20:21
de-factogood food, anti-inflammatory stuff, good sleep, anything that helps with a cold probably also does not hurt, yet unfortunately there is no cure for COVID yet, so everything is just supportive, ultimately the body has to fight if off20:22
guriya(y)20:23
guriya<320:23
de-factoalso at the very early stages reducing the viral load in the throat may possibly be a good idea, e.g. gargling with green or black tea or alcoholic mouth washes etc20:24
de-factothat will not cure but possibly may reduce the viral load going down the throat into both, lung and gastrointestinal system20:24
de-factoi am not sure if that helps, but i guess it would not hurt either20:25
de-factoand of course most importantly: distancing to end infection chains20:25
LjLi'm looking at why Brainstorm doesn't parse the title of https://www.epicentro.iss.it/en/coronavirus/sars-cov-2-analysis-of-deaths20:26

guriyai forgot I have been having gas issues20:26
guriyalike bloating20:26
LjLthat's a pretty strange-looking error20:26
guriyagas acidity20:26
guriyaso would that be any related?20:26
LjLguriya, that's not a very COVID-specific symptom20:26
LjLa lot of symptoms could be related to COVID, but they are also very generic20:26
LjLthere is no set of symptoms that will let you say "okay, i know, i have covid"20:27
LjLexcept maybe if you lose smell or taste, then that's very suggestive20:27
LjLbut... this is why we have COVID tests, because there is no other sure way to know than a test20:27
guriya(y)20:27
de-factoLjL, openssl s_client -connect www.epicentro.iss.it:https tells their DH key is 1024b so maybe python does not like that for some reason?20:28
LjLde-facto, i found https://stackoverflow.com/a/38016392/853446020:28
LjLdoesn't look like something i can work around easily, if it's the site's fault20:29
LjLi could do that custom cipher set thing but... might i not get errors with other sites then?20:30
the-wes+= means you're adding to the list of acceptable sets20:35
LjLhm i guess, let's try20:37
LjL%title https://www.epicentro.iss.it/en/coronavirus/sars-cov-2-analysis-of-deaths20:40
BrainstormLjL: From www.epicentro.iss.it: Characteristics of COVID-19 patients dying in Italy20:40

LjLnow we only need titles for Twitter, Youtube, most PDFs... :)20:41
de-factobtw they got a "B" https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.epicentro.iss.it&hideResults=on due to https://weakdh.org/20:41
de-factoPDFs will be hard to solve20:46
LjLde-facto, PDFs "are solved" in theory, Brainstorm has a PDF parsing library that it uses when giving things titles20:46
LjLbut it's rather strict and if the PDF has errors, it will fail to parse it even when it will work in most actual PDF readers20:46
LjLalso, iirc, i don't always download the *entire* page when i get a page to title it, because that could result in a denial of service attack by serving it a giant page20:47
LjLso the downloaded PDF may end up being incomplete20:47
LjLthe title will likely still be there somewhere, but the library won't like it20:47
de-factoim not sure does that help? https://pypi.org/project/pdftitle/20:47
LjLanyway when you're lucky it can even give titles to pictures by running OCR on it ;)20:47
LjLde-facto, well... that *might* be helpful if i finally upgraded Brainstorm to Python 3 ;P20:48
LjLit is incompatible with 220:48

LjLi thought PDFs had a legit title20:49
LjL%title www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf20:49
BrainstormLjL: From www.adobe.com: www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf20:49
LjLhm20:49
LjLoh that's not an actual pdf though20:49
LjL%title http://www.orimi.com/pdf-test.pdf20:49
BrainstormLjL, the URL could not be loaded20:49
LjLnice20:49
LjLsee for example this is the error i'm getting from the above https://paste.ee/p/8d1bj20:51
LjLdefinitely the PDF library failing on something20:51
de-factobtw their project is at https://github.com/metebalci/pdftitle20:52
de-factohmm not sure LjL  is it that issue here you are facing with Brainstorm? https://github.com/mstamy2/PyPDF2/issues/18320:56
LjLi'm not sure, but my pypdf2 is up to date, at least as far as it can be in the python 2 version21:01
de-factobtw any chance to backport pdftitle from 3->2 with https://wiki.python.org/moin/3to2 ?21:06
BrainstormUpdates for France: +97 deaths (now 106369) since 23 hours ago21:10
guriyaBrainstorm is bot?21:11
de-factoyes LjL bot21:11
* de-facto pets Brainstorm21:11
* Brainstorm starts to radiate de-facto with some defendable kindliness 21:11
guriya(y)21:11
guriyafrance deaths sad21:11
de-factoyeah but much better than in their past21:13
guriyawhen this can end or never?21:13
guriyaI am sick pf seeing people die21:13
LjLde-facto, i'm using poetry https://python-poetry.org/ to install dependencies, i'm not going to fiddle with them manually and change them :P21:14
guriyaI get this idea : if we were so cruel and killed first 100 covid patients would it have prevented covid surge21:16
LjLno21:20
LjLCOVID was almost certainly already much more widespread than we realized21:21
LjLyou killed those 100 patients, there were probably already 1000 infected people who didn't know yet21:21
guriyaLjL you think we got covid backbefore dec 2019?21:22
guriyaI think 20 and we detected covid later21:23
guriyas/20/so21:23
LjLyes21:25
LjLthere are definitely identified cases of COVID that pre-dated December 201921:25
guriyain China?21:26
LjLincluding a high probability it was already out of China, since traces of its RNA were found in Italy, Spain, France and Brazil in samples taken before 202021:26
de-factoLjL,  i think it might almost work with python 2.7, i replaced print(*s) -> print(s) on lines 33 and 38 and  commented out https://github.com/metebalci/pdftitle/blob/master/pdftitle.py#L44621:26
de-factoonly installed python-pdfminer and called it with python2.721:27
de-factoi am not sure about the error on line 446 hence i just disabled that :P21:27
LjLi really don't know if i want to have spaghetti dependencies that are not managed by poetry :(21:28
de-factoyeah fair point21:28
LjLthere's a lot of things that are blocked by the fact i'm not upgrading to python 321:28
LjLthat's really the big deal21:28
de-factoits only that one file pdftitle.py though21:31

BrainstormUpdates for Germany: +67 deaths (now 84802) since 21 hours ago21:35
de-factoLjL,  i think that one might be solved by replacing the two occurrences of StringIO -> BytesIO21:40
de-factoLjL, i think this one here works with python2.7: https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/151206ce08b44041a374989d5149d60f21:43
de-facto(i am not sure though, actually i dont speak Python)21:43
de-factoit parses the pdf above without errors and gives the title though21:44

LjLde-facto, eh, pdfminer itself only supports python 3 now, and it says to look at pdfminer.six (a fork) for python 2 support, but then https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six says to install python 3 ;(23:50
LjLmaybe i should take the hint, eh... python 2 is officially unsupported by python since the start of 202023:51
