DocScrutinizer05 | oh, didn't notice | 01:12 |
LjL | ryouma, well, there are models. doesn't mean they'll turn out to be correct, but they're probably not made up on the spot. you can see how the graph is going, anyway... just assume it'll stay linear for at least 15 days before it starts slowly going down, and it'll take another 15 to go flat. how many beds short will those states be then? | 01:15 |

LjL | tinwhiskers, German body that provides these data officially, also, they have one of the many ArcGIS maps | 01:36 |
tinwhiskers | ah | 01:36 |
ryouma | i skimmed it, thanks | 01:42 |
minorov | O | 01:43 |
ryouma | if this is a reflection of reality i think it is more like outright fraud "A skeptic will note that these measures don’t seem to prevent a surge in infections so much as delay them (in some cases so that the impact is pushed beyond the period that this model tracks)." | 01:43 |
Brainstorm | New from CNBC Health at 23:39 UTC: (news): Trump allows coronavirus patients on Navy ship Comfort in New York after Cuomo asks → https://is.gd/pPoV5o | 01:44 |
tinwhiskers | ryouma: I guess if the intent is to show that lockdowns will slow the progression of the virus then they achieve that but fail to address what happens next. | 01:46 |
tinwhiskers | but at best it's only a half-truth, more likely very misleading, and at worst an outright lie. | 01:46 |
ryouma | yeah | 01:47 |
tinwhiskers | people look to these models to see the potential death toll so it shouldn't be hidden like that | 01:47 |
LjL | ryouma, i wouldn't go as far as fraud, after all the Imperial College paper previously(?) made it pretty clear that even though they thought suppression was the only reasonable option, the question of what to do with the second peak did remain | 01:48 |
ryouma | i hold stuff like that to higher standards tahn many practitioners do | 01:48 |
LjL | i still think i agree with them... as in, the alternative is just not acceptable | 01:48 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, fair point LjL. They do usually have such a disclaimer | 01:48 |
LjL | this way we can buy time, and then, yes, i don't know. i don't know what do we do afterwards. but at least more people are alive by then. | 01:49 |
tinwhiskers | it gives us some time to come up with a new plan maybe | 01:49 |
tinwhiskers | or maaaaybe find a treatment | 01:49 |
LjL | i seem to sense that many countries are going to go for the on-again-off-again approach | 01:49 |
lf94 | yes | 01:49 |
lf94 | on-off I think will be the approach | 01:49 |
lf94 | when PPE is in stock | 01:49 |
LjL | which will be a paaaaain, but i don't really have a better proposal | 01:49 |
tinwhiskers | not so much on-off but on-ease | 01:50 |
LjL | yeah | 01:50 |
lf94 | yeah that | 01:50 |
Brainstorm | Updates for World: +1166 cases (now 1344272), +59 deaths (now 74643) since an hour ago — California, US: +753 cases (now 15993) since 3 hours ago — US: +657 cases (now 364716), +54 deaths (now 10846) since an hour ago | 01:50 |
LjL | our PM has said that "phase 2" will involve tight "protocols" on how to go outside, how to take public transport, etc | 01:50 |
LjL | Milan's public transport company is "now studying" how to lock the turnstiles to further entry when the train is full | 01:50 |
LjL | i mean... that's something i've thought was part of the *design* of the new turnstiles back when they installed them in like 2007 | 01:51 |
tinwhiskers | if we really don't find a treatment prior to a vaccine being available it's likely the changes to our habits will become quite ingrained. | 01:51 |
LjL | but apparently it's the first time they think of it ;( | 01:51 |
tinwhiskers | I wonder if we too will become habitual facemask-wearers like much of asia | 01:51 |
ryouma | i wonder what they do in japan where they hire conductors to push passengers into the cars | 01:51 |
tinwhiskers | (in asia they wear them for air quality reason too though) | 01:51 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, if we do i hope there are masks that are less insufferable to wear than the ones i've tried | 01:51 |
tinwhiskers | heh | 01:52 |
ryouma | wired reported taht in the 1918 pandemic it was law to wear a mask in the us. japan copied this. they continued. they now wear to not infect others. but in the west everybody just goes to work and coughts on everything and everybody, and thinks he's a hero for working. wearing no mask and not being shamed. | 01:53 |
tinwhiskers | yeah | 01:53 |
ryouma | so the us has to have this idea that not infecting others is desirable. and this can be enforced by social disapproval. | 01:54 |
tinwhiskers | coughing on people is rightly considered extremely rude in Japan | 01:54 |
ryouma | wear a mask jackass! | 01:54 |
LjL | i wonder though if there's any real evidence that masks help against normal things like flu, in normal times outside of an epidemic | 01:54 |
LjL | i mean, i am reasonably confident the mechanics of them "help" | 01:54 |
LjL | but then you'd have to see if Japan actually has a lower rate of flu than other countries | 01:54 |
tinwhiskers | if you're infected they do help stop you spreading it | 01:54 |
ryouma | they also bow instead of shaking hands normally. various ocnfounds. | 01:55 |
bin_bash | yeah it does, thats why if you go to the doctor it says "if youre sneezing or coughing take a mask" | 01:55 |
tinwhiskers | LjL: good point | 01:55 |
jester | https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/04/04/coronavirus-face-mask-tips-how-make-fabric-instructions/2945209001/ | 01:55 |
LjL | uhm, i don't think that's solid scientific evidence that it helps... | 01:55 |
jester | better than nothing | 01:55 |
bin_bash | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3591312/ | 01:56 |

LjL | jester, i didn't mean your article | 01:57 |
dunnp | im curious what the impact on the flu will be from all of this isolation | 01:57 |
bin_bash | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5153448/ | 01:57 |
bin_bash | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4699551/ | 01:57 |
tinwhiskers | bin_bash: good link (the first one) | 01:57 |
LjL | i must not have expressed myself quite properly | 01:58 |
LjL | but just pretend i never said anything | 01:58 |
bin_bash | LjL: i may have misunderstoof | 01:58 |
bin_bash | stood** | 01:58 |
ryouma | pisses me off that ct does not ban liquor stores. guess where ny residents go now? | 01:58 |
tinwhiskers | specific to Japan vs elsewhere? nothing yet | 01:58 |
bin_bash | I thoguht you were asking for evidence masks work during flu seasons | 01:59 |
bin_bash | ryouma: all liquor stores should be open | 01:59 |
dunnp | liquor is essential | 01:59 |
ryouma | soe verybody stays blasted at home? | 01:59 |
tinwhiskers | but specifically suggesting that if masks help then Japan should have lower rates of flu | 01:59 |
dunnp | exatly ryouma | 01:59 |
ryouma | cuomo banned them. ct did not. problem | 01:59 |
amxc | data! oregon | 01:59 |
bin_bash | the second article i linked was in japan tinwhiskers and LjL | 02:00 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, but that included vaccinations | 02:00 |
LjL | bin_bash, i said that i'm pretty confident that the mechanics of a mask help against influenza transmission. but then you still have to look at the global picture: so in a given country, like Japan in this case, do you actually have a lower rate of flu? you'd expect to, since you'd expect the masks to help, but you cannot take it for granted. and then, there are possible drawbacks to consider: maybe people get more of *other* respiratory issue due to | 02:00 |
LjL | wearing a mask (they are not so very good for your throat in general, really). and as ryouma says this is all not even easy to determine because there are other cultural factors unrelated to masks | 02:00 |
bin_bash | ryouma: actually no, liquor stores are open in NY | 02:00 |
ryouma | i heard wrong? | 02:00 |
bin_bash | LjL: why japan specificially? | 02:00 |
jester | https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily | 02:00 |
tinwhiskers | it was just a thought-experiment | 02:00 |
bin_bash | ryouma: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/03/20/coronavirus-new-york-liquor-stores-essential/2887048001/ | 02:00 |
LjL | bin_bash, because they all wear masks, and because that was the context of the conversation that was ongoing | 02:00 |
bin_bash | ryouma: yeah, my fam is in NY and theyre open | 02:00 |
tinwhiskers | the direct evidence you gave bin_bash, was also compeliing | 02:01 |
bin_bash | LjL: but they don't all wear surgical masks | 02:01 |
bin_bash | a lot of them are fashion lace masks | 02:01 |
tinwhiskers | those also help | 02:01 |
ryouma | they wear masks when they get colds or flu | 02:01 |
LjL | and that's another thing that would have to be determined, which masks people wear, and whether they were it correctly, whether they handle them correctly and not contaminate themselves back, etc | 02:01 |
LjL | so i assume you can see what i meant by the global picture | 02:01 |
bin_bash | yeah | 02:01 |
tinwhiskers | mmm | 02:01 |
dunnp | ooh lace masks | 02:02 |
tinwhiskers | Just finding influenza rate/year/capita for Japan vs. other countries would still be interesting | 02:02 |
lf94 | How long you guys think until N95 masks will be in the hands of citizens? | 02:02 |
tinwhiskers | hopefully not long | 02:03 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, but also ridden with difficulties | 02:03 |
lf94 | I'm assuming ~3 months | 02:03 |
tinwhiskers | LjL: yeah, for sure. | 02:03 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, how likely are you to report influenza to a doctor, and how likely is that doctor to report it back to some central agency? pretty sure this varies a *lot* by culture | 02:03 |
linext | there are 1 person who tested positive for covid for every 143 people in the county where i live | 02:03 |
tinwhiskers | Hopefully in a few months N95 supply will be such that hospitals have plenty, then the public can also have them | 02:03 |
linext | i recommend getting a respirator instead of a standard n95 cotton mask | 02:04 |
dunnp | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3210121/ | 02:04 |
dunnp | kinda hard to compare US vs japan because of population densities | 02:04 |
tinwhiskers | linext: I recommend not doing that | 02:04 |
linext | the pre-filters are n95 and you breath out the hot air through an exhaust port | 02:05 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, covering it with a surgical mask has been recommended by... i forget who | 02:05 |
tinwhiskers | respirators with valves do little to protect *others from you* | 02:05 |
linext | the regular mask gets way too hot | 02:05 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, that would be ok then :-) | 02:05 |
Brainstorm | Updates for US: +2555 cases (now 366614), +67 deaths (now 10859) since an hour ago — World: +2061 cases (now 1346333), +119 recoveries (now 278330) since 16 minutes ago — New York, US: +1227 cases (now 131916) since an hour ago | 02:05 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, although then i'd have to try it to know whether it makes it feel any better than just a regular no-valve mask. but the recommendation was in a medical context, to be able to re-use the N95 by discarding the surgical after each patient, while also having some respiratory comfort | 02:06 |
amxc | data! oregon | 02:06 |
tinwhiskers | LjL: Yeah, I read that too | 02:06 |
linext | wearing a regular cotton n95 mask gets annoying after about 30 minutes | 02:06 |
tinwhiskers | I gotta say, my fabric mask is very comfortable to wear and if everyone did the same we'd be much better off. | 02:06 |
Brainstorm | New from CNBC Health at 23:58 UTC: (news): Coronavirus fight: White House health advisor Fauci says we may never get back to 'normal' → https://is.gd/SP0X0y | 02:06 |
linext | the respirator is comfortable for multiple hours | 02:06 |
dunnp | n95 is annoying very quickly if you are wearing it right... hurts | 02:07 |
tinwhiskers | Japan and asia are way ahead of us accepting wearing mask for the benefit of *others* rather than yourself. | 02:07 |
tinwhiskers | not to discredit czechia and others who have discovered this also | 02:07 |
linext | maybe that will change now that people are now getting used to it | 02:08 |
LjL | dunnp, well that doesn't make sound vaccinating seniors as compelling as my GP made it out to be ;( | 02:08 |
WW[m] | masks protect only in 1 case, if it is worn on both the sick and healthy. | 02:08 |
lf94 | The point of wearing the N95 is when you're going into a store or walking out | 02:08 |
Toadisattva | people at my work are finally wearing masks and gloves, I've been doing it for weeks i's good I had a mask on so they couldn't see how smug I was feeling about it :P | 02:08 |
tinwhiskers | "my mask protects you, your mask protects me" | 02:08 |
lf94 | I'd only wear it going from my car -> store -> car | 02:08 |
dunnp | LjL: yea that is shocking to me... | 02:08 |
dunnp | but the vaccination of schoolchildren really helped | 02:09 |
Toadisattva | yeah mask is a 2 way street | 02:09 |
LjL | dunnp, i suspect there would be strong resistance on vaccinating children against something that is generally not considered a risk for them here | 02:09 |
Toadisattva | if only I wear a mask at best protectin for us both is only 50% | 02:09 |
Toadisattva | effective | 02:09 |
bin_bash | lf94: how are you going to decontaminate it in your car? | 02:09 |
LjL | dunnp, i suspect my government suspect it too, since i don't believe they've even tried recommending it :P | 02:09 |
lf94 | bin_bash: I'm not | 02:09 |
lf94 | bin_bash: it'll go into a plastic bag | 02:10 |
dunnp | they dont do flu vaccines in italy? | 02:10 |
tinwhiskers | a fabric mask is about 95% effective at catching droplets being created by the wearer. | 02:10 |
dunnp | very widespread in the US | 02:10 |
bin_bash | lf94: that's about the worst thing you could do | 02:10 |
lf94 | bin_bash: when I get home, then I can put it into the oven or whatever they are suggesting | 02:10 |
LjL | dunnp, they are free for elderly, paid for others, weakly recommended in general, strongly recommended for elders | 02:10 |
bin_bash | lf94: you should leave it on until you're able to get home and remove it properly | 02:10 |
lf94 | bin_bash: yes I know it is long-living on plastics | 02:10 |
lf94 | ok | 02:10 |
lf94 | then i'd do that then | 02:11 |
LjL | dunnp, i don't think there is any recommendation at all for school-aged children compared to other random people... i mean, these days it's hard enough to get parents to vaccinate against measles | 02:11 |
lf94 | imagine the anti-vaxxers now | 02:11 |
lf94 | what are they saying | 02:11 |
LjL | maybe they are shutting up | 02:11 |
LjL | which is okay with me | 02:11 |
tinwhiskers | should we leave anyone who has been vocally anti-vax until last? | 02:12 |
linext | i tried to drop off a package on the desk at the post office and didn't want to wait in line 6 feet apart from everyone | 02:12 |
linext | they wouldn't let me | 02:12 |
linext | they said i have to wait behind 5 other people | 02:13 |
bin_bash | lf94: i linked this the other day. if you follow thw WHM (warm heat method) you can pretty much replicate the method in your kitchen with a large stock pot and shallow steaming tray: https://sci-hub.tw/10.1016/j.ajic.2010.07.004 | 02:13 |
lf94 | tinwhiskers: heh, nah. It should be based on current conditions :p i.e. they have no underlying conditions, can contribute still to society, etc | 02:13 |
linext | ended up going to a different post office | 02:13 |
bin_bash | in an oven** | 02:13 |
lf94 | bin_bash: yeah tht's what I heard | 02:13 |
lf94 | bin_bash: is that paper really behind a paywall? | 02:13 |
lf94 | jee | 02:13 |
lf94 | jeez* | 02:13 |
bin_bash | also here's the link from the CDC discussing decontamination on the efficacy of the mask, specifically table 2: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/decontamination-reuse-respirators.html | 02:14 |
bin_bash | lf94: no | 02:14 |
tinwhiskers | I actually finally finished downloading the movie "contagion" and watched it last night. In that movie they weren't able to supply enough vaccine for everyone so had a raffle to determine which birthdates would be vaccinated each day. It seems quite just that if people have to wait in line that anti-vaxxers should be at the end of that line. | 02:14 |
lf94 | bin_bash: why link with sci-hub then lol | 02:14 |
bin_bash | tinwhiskers: 100% agree | 02:14 |
bin_bash | lf94: the original might be behind a paywall | 02:15 |
lf94 | bin_bash: that was my point :) | 02:15 |

lf94 | in these times everything should be open / free until shit is solved | 02:15 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, the most widespread earthquake early warning app in italy (and some other places) uses, as predictable, google push notifications. only problem with that is they are throttled. so there are in-app purchases to be among the first 1000, 100 or 10 people notified, depending on how much you pay. | 02:15 |
jester | try zoogle for downloads magnet | 02:15 |
bin_bash | lf94: well im not sure because it was given to me by someoen who got it from a university library, so it might be or it might not | 02:15 |
oxalis | My assumption is that Texas is an outlier as to data accuracy | 02:15 |

LjL | tinwhiskers, well, at least the order in which i send mine is purely determined by Python's hash dictionary whatever thingies. | 02:16 |

dunnp | oxalis: is itsnt an outlier | 02:16 |
bin_bash | oxalis: yeah, they're not testing people in texas, but also my guess is that because there's such a huge number of beds available that it's not as much of an issue i really dont know | 02:16 |
tinwhiskers | I'm supposedly on the pacific tsunami mailing list but it's not reliable | 02:16 |
oxalis | there are alot of beds in Texas... IF you got the cash or serious insurance | 02:17 |

dunnp | look at north carolina | 02:17 |
tinwhiskers | LjL: I got a warning a few weeks ago from them | 02:17 |
dunnp | oxalis: sort by cases/1M | 02:18 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, well if you ever figure out where PTWC has gone, tell me, because my bot kind of used their RSS feeds which are now gone ;( | 02:18 |
tinwhiskers | ok | 02:18 |
LjL | i found CAP feeds somewhere, possibly on IOC, but my bot doesn't do CAP yet | 02:18 |

tinwhiskers | jester: yeah, but I saw the BBC doco the night before | 02:20 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, this one i'm guessing 🌄 Earthquake! 4.8 Mb tremor, registered by alomax, occurred 12 minutes ago (18:02:05 UTC), during twilight, Tonga Islands (-21.73, -175.12), ↓89 km likely felt 120 km away (in Nukuʻalofa, 'Eua Fo'ou, 'Ohonua, Fua'amotu…) by 41500 people (alomax.free.fr) | 02:20 |
tinwhiskers | yah | 02:20 |
jester | i got mine from yify | 02:20 |
jester | 685 mb 720p | 02:20 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, no i do have that one subscribed, and it kind of gives me timely warnings, but my bot doesn't do email... i guess it could with some work, but what it's used to doing is RSS feeds | 02:21 |
tinwhiskers | LjL: don't bother. It doesn't seem very reliable. | 02:21 |
tinwhiskers | oh. ok | 02:22 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, right now my bot will tell you POSSIBLE TSUNAMI whenever it thinks it's M7+, at sea, and above 50km depth or so | 02:22 |
BruntLIVE | Death Watch in the UK. | 02:22 |
LjL | just so you know in case it makes you run to the hills | 02:22 |
tinwhiskers | ah | 02:22 |
dunnp | got any hills tinwhiskers? | 02:23 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, run to the hills doesn't mean much for me :-) | 02:23 |
tinwhiskers | but if I know there is one due in 30 minutes I can make a dash for the mainland | 02:23 |
LjL | 30 minutes... yikes | 02:23 |
tinwhiskers | well, it takes 15 minutes but just getting the boat out, etc. | 02:24 |
tinwhiskers | I could probably get there in 20 minutes | 02:24 |
dunnp | whats the best strategy? build a flagpole and chain a metal boat to it? | 02:24 |
tinwhiskers | hope one doesn't happen | 02:24 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, and if it happens it better not be too close | 02:24 |
tinwhiskers | honestly, they are quite rare events and often far enough away you get some warning | 02:25 |
tinwhiskers | If we concerned ourselves over all risks in life we wouldn't go out of the house.... or in it. | 02:25 |
LjL | yeah, except that rare time they aren't, you get 400k deaths | 02:25 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, there's those :-) | 02:25 |
LjL | although these days 400k deaths is, what, one country's best case scenario? | 02:25 |
tinwhiskers | true | 02:25 |
ubLIX | tinwhiskers: how fast is your boat? head out to deep water as fast as possible? | 02:26 |
ubLIX | i mean, by the time you hit the mainland, you still have to get inland | 02:26 |
tinwhiskers | There is about 5km or reef between me and deep water, of 1.5km to the mainland. | 02:26 |
LjL | head out to deep water... i wonder how that'd work out | 02:27 |
ubLIX | fair enough | 02:27 |
tinwhiskers | fortunately there is a big hill right at the closest beach | 02:27 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, there will be a lot more deep water if a tsunami hits though | 02:27 |
LjL | for a while at least | 02:27 |
tinwhiskers | The highest point on the this island is actually 10m anyway, so that would be enough to avoid all but the ones I wouldn't get much warning about anyway :-) | 02:27 |
tinwhiskers | I'm not that concerned about them. I'm probably more likely to be killed by a falling coconut | 02:28 |

dunnp | so we having a party in tonga after all this? :) | 02:28 |
tinwhiskers | sure | 02:28 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, what if you get on your boat during a tsunami and then the waves take it under a coconut tree and that kills you? | 02:29 |
LjL | you have to look at the secondary deaths too | 02:29 |
bin_bash | lol | 02:29 |
tinwhiskers | lol. I lose sleep over that scenario :-/ | 02:29 |
bin_bash | i would too tbh | 02:29 |
tinwhiskers | a lot of coconuts fall off the trees during earthquakes so a dash to the other end of the island where it is 10 m high could be risky | 02:30 |
tinwhiskers | (aftershakes) | 02:30 |
tinwhiskers | it's a 15 min walk normally | 02:30 |
ubLIX | but you have a sturdy helmet for just this reason, right? | 02:30 |
tinwhiskers | I actually do :-) | 02:31 |
LjL | is there famine when the earthquakes make themselves scant due to that being the primary way for the locals to get coconuts? | 02:31 |
tinwhiskers | a yellow hard hat that washed up on the beach. I put new foam in it. I wear it during storms, which also tend to cause coconuts to fly around. | 02:31 |
LjL | lol | 02:31 |
dunnp | haha | 02:31 |
LjL | clearly no need for Amazon in Tonga | 02:32 |
tinwhiskers | heh | 02:32 |
tinwhiskers | That's not all. TWO of them washed up so my wife and I both have exactly the same hats! | 02:32 |
LjL | damn | 02:32 |
LjL | sometimes i can't do that on Amazon, i'll buy one and then it goes "Out of stock!" | 02:32 |
tinwhiskers | they both washed up within a couple of months of each other. weird. | 02:32 |
LjL | creepy... | 02:32 |
LjL | how many oxygen concentrators wash ashore though?! | 02:33 |
LjL | i got mine today. it didn't explode, and it produced... some gas | 02:33 |
tinwhiskers | yeah... we'll see. | 02:33 |
tinwhiskers | cool | 02:33 |
tinwhiskers | is the gas flammable? | 02:34 |
LjL | it makes a very loud *puff* breathing-like noise every few seconds. the manual says that's normal as it's the nitrogen being released | 02:34 |
jester | easyer than eating beans and onions | 02:34 |
tinwhiskers | ah | 02:34 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, yes, i did think that would be a decent way to actually make sure it's oxygen, for some definition of "decent" that includes pretty damned foolish | 02:34 |
tinwhiskers | so how'd you do it? | 02:34 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, i'll just trust the chinese? | 02:34 |
LjL | it worked last time | 02:35 |
tinwhiskers | ha ha | 02:35 |
tinwhiskers | so when testing my oxyhydrogen I filled a balloon, then put a candle under it with a string to swing it under the balloon. | 02:35 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, or, i'll wear my pulse oxymeter and hope it can actually give me a reading of 100% before my brain melts | 02:35 |
tinwhiskers | I tell you even at 30m away the concussion to my chest was quite something | 02:35 |
LjL | eek | 02:36 |
LjL | and then you wonder why your lungs are broken! | 02:36 |
tinwhiskers | but back in school you used to text for oxygen by putting a glowing stick into a testtube of oxygen and if it was indeed oxygen the stick would ignite. | 02:36 |
tinwhiskers | That might be safer ^ | 02:36 |
dunnp | https://sciencing.com/convert-volume-percent-weight-percent-8740558.html | 02:37 |
dunnp | ^ this could work | 02:37 |
tinwhiskers | You put an inverted testtube under water and bubble the gas from your source into the testtube, then take it out and put the glowing stick in | 02:37 |

dunnp | much safer than fire :) | 02:38 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, i don't understand the glowstick thing, isn't a glowstick something with magic substances isolated from the outsides with plastic? | 02:39 |
Brainstorm | New from CNBC Health at 00:36 UTC: Trump allows coronavirus patients on Navy ship Comfort in New York after Cuomo asks: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked President Donald Trump to allow coronavirus patients on the Navy ship Comfort to relieve strain on New York City hospitals dealing with COVID-19 cases. → https://is.gd/pPoV5o | 02:39 |
tinwhiskers | like a stick with an ember on it. Light the stick, let it burn for a while then blow it out, leaving a glowing ember. | 02:39 |
tinwhiskers | but you really do need to use a very small collector like a test tube. If you used a jar, for example, well that would get entertaining. | 02:41 |
LjL | i think i feel vaguely more comfortable with dunnp's method :P | 02:41 |
tinwhiskers | booo! | 02:42 |
LjL | i wonder... | 02:44 |
LjL | if i used this thing, as a hypothetical patient who actually needs it, in an enclosed room (as would be likely if someone were self-isolating at home with family around) | 02:44 |
jester | whats the dead count in india must be high no telemarkters calling | 02:44 |
tinwhiskers | too soon jester | 02:45 |
LjL | the tiny tubes would give me 90% oxygen or so, but then the nitrogen missing from that would just be puffed back into the room. and it's not like i'm *not* also breathing the room's air | 02:45 |
LjL | jester, yeah, like, for real | 02:45 |
linext | DocScrutinizer05, maybe keep some. i used to do that for deposit slips at the bank | 02:46 |
linext | keep a few handy so you can get in more quicly | 02:46 |
jester | packasian the dust buster calls are also down | 02:46 |
tinwhiskers | LjL: does the nitrogen outlet allow for connecting a tube as well? | 02:46 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, no, there isn't an outlet, just some grid | 02:48 |
tinwhiskers | ok | 02:48 |
dunnp | but you are breathing concentrated O2 | 02:48 |
LjL | dunnp, it's not like i have a seal with the air that's being pumped into my nose... i'm breathing a bit of that, but also a fair bit of what's in the air | 02:48 |
tinwhiskers | so if you put the whole thing in an enclosed box with the o2 line going outside it would convert the box into a nitrogen-rich environment. | 02:49 |
LjL | and at the end of the day i'm just breathing what's in the room anyway! | 02:49 |
LjL | i'll breathe more concentrated O2 at first, but then the room will kinda be full of nitrogen instead | 02:49 |
dunnp | no but it is much more concentrated and it isnt a sealed room | 02:49 |
tinwhiskers | nah, the room will always have the same amount of nitrogen | 02:49 |
dunnp | but the key is that you are getting your lungs 80% O2 (or whatever it is) instead of 21% | 02:50 |
tinwhiskers | you'll be losing O2 for CO2, but there's always enough movement to prevent that being a problem | 02:50 |
dunnp | and it will do that until there is no more oxygen | 02:50 |
LjL | hm, yeah | 02:51 |
tinwhiskers | I did once work out how long you could survive in a 20ft shipping container. It was like 1-2 weeks I think for 2 people and a dog :-) | 02:51 |
tinwhiskers | however, CO2 buildup kills you long before you run out of O2 | 02:51 |
LjL | if only this thing actually did have a nitrogen outlet... | 02:51 |
LjL | i could use it as a plan B kind of thing too ;( | 02:52 |
ubLIX | two weeks even with growing CO2 concentration, tinwhiskers? | 02:52 |
tinwhiskers | ubLIX: no | 02:52 |
tinwhiskers | if you could remove the CO2 | 02:52 |
ubLIX | two weeks of O2, check | 02:52 |
dunnp | just open your window LjL | 02:52 |
ubLIX | ^ | 02:52 |
LjL | clearly we need to evolve to embetter our ability to separate CO2 from O2 | 02:52 |
LjL | *and* then jump off it, i think you're forgetting that part | 02:53 |
dunnp | oh you're on the second floor eh? | 02:53 |
tinwhiskers | so if you can produce nitrogen then if things get too bad you also have a supply of gas to let you quietly and painlessly slip away using an exit-bag | 02:53 |
LjL | dunnp, or third, depending who you ask | 02:53 |
LjL | well | 02:53 |
LjL | actually, third, or fourth | 02:53 |
dunnp | haha | 02:53 |
dunnp | how is there a question between 3rd or 4th? | 02:54 |
LjL | depends whether ground level counts as 0 or 1 | 02:54 |
dunnp | well there are kinda 3 floors below me but sometimes one isnt there | 02:54 |
dunnp | oh | 02:54 |
LjL | different countries do that differently | 02:54 |
dunnp | ah | 02:54 |
dunnp | we walk in on the 4th floor for my lab | 02:54 |
LjL | there was some kind of secret floor that the elevator skipped somewhere at my university | 02:55 |
dunnp | but in the US ground level is usually first floor | 02:55 |
LjL | yeah no it's zero here, though rarely called "zero" | 02:55 |
dunnp | I think that our hispital wants every building to have the same floors so when you walk from one to the other it is the same number | 02:55 |
LjL | elevators typically had T (terrain) or R (something else), but modern ones do tend to have 0 | 02:55 |
dunnp | so that results on weird numberings around hills | 02:56 |
LjL | fun | 02:56 |
dunnp | so my lab is 4th at ground level then then building goes to B3 (3 underground but actually 6 underground) | 02:56 |
LjL | there is an elevator in Milan that's pretty crap, and that confuses the hell out of people... 0 is the topmost floor, which is well above street level (but at the level of the pedestrian area there is there), so street level is -1 ,but then there is also -2 which is an underpass to reach the metro and trains | 02:57 |
LjL | the damn thing is hydraulic and seemingly engineered to be slow at everything | 02:57 |
LjL | add to that people getting confused and pressing all the buttons | 02:57 |
LjL | and i am not sure why i wasn't taking the stairs | 02:57 |
dunnp | haha | 02:57 |
tinwhiskers | Wait, don't you have the slowest elevator in the world in Italy? | 02:57 |
ryouma | they could just label them instead of numbering them | 02:57 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, it might just be that one | 02:58 |
tinwhiskers | heh | 02:58 |
ryouma | they could put a picture | 02:58 |
LjL | ryouma, that's what they do in places where numbers would do fine instead | 02:58 |
LjL | best part about that elevator is there's something broken (and never fixed, and i've used it for months) about the emergency call | 02:59 |
LjL | so after the doors close, and it barely starts moving, you hear "Keep calm. Help will be coming shortly." (except in italian) | 02:59 |
dunnp | I got stuck in an elevator about 2 months ago | 02:59 |
dunnp | fun | 02:59 |
LjL | never got stuck in an elevator, except like for two minutes at university once | 03:00 |
LjL | and we have SO many elevators... well, but i don't go anywhere | 03:00 |
LjL | my piano teacher would never take elevators, and she lived at the 6th floor (your 7th) | 03:01 |
LjL | because she had a "fun" experience once, of an elevator just free-falling until it met the next emergency brake pin | 03:01 |
LjL | person who was with her had to wear a neck brace for a while | 03:01 |
LjL | and she just never took an elevator again | 03:01 |
tinwhiskers | I did actually have recurring nightmares about one elevator at my university. They lasted until well after I left. | 03:02 |
dunnp | i dont take elevators usually because exercise! | 03:02 |
LjL | i had recurring nightmares about my elevator for like most of my childhood! and my teenhood! | 03:02 |
LjL | undeserved, because i was never stuck in it | 03:02 |
tinwhiskers | heh | 03:02 |
LjL | despite many other people being stuck in it, since the thing was from the 30s | 03:02 |
tinwhiskers | yeah | 03:02 |
LjL | but it wasn't very scary to think of being stuck in it... it was large and the doors were glass and there wasn't really an elevator shaft but just an open cage kind of thing | 03:03 |
LjL | (now it actually free-falling, that *would* be kind of scary, but it wasn't something i was actually scared of when awake...) | 03:03 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, it's the free-falling... shut up | 03:04 |
LjL | well, sometimes i'd free fall, some other times it would just keep going up after reaching my floor, and i "knew" what was going to happen, so i started hitting the Stop button, but that didn't work, then opened the doors, but that didn't work either, until it broke into the hard ceiling... and i'd wake up | 03:04 |
dunnp | and I'm freeeeeeeeee | 03:04 |
dunnp | freee falliinnn | 03:05 |
LjL | this often happened when my uncle in law was with me in the elevator, despite him never having been with me in any elevator to my knowledge | 03:05 |
LjL | on the other hand the elevator had handrails, which came in very handy in these nightmare situations where it would do all sorts of nightmarish things. the real elevator never had handrails | 03:06 |
LjL | so i take that as part of my brain pitying some other part of my brain, while watching a third part of my brain give me nightmares | 03:06 |
tinwhiskers | ok, I think we have enough to psychoanalyse LJL now. | 03:06 |
LjL | :x | 03:07 |
dunnp | yep he lives on the 4th floor | 03:07 |
LjL | you know the floor, you know the city, you even know it's somewhere vaguely close to its chinatown | 03:08 |
LjL | should only live some 10k apartments or so? | 03:09 |
LjL | leave | 03:09 |
LjL | also | 03:09 |
tinwhiskers | I'm more concerned about your uncle issues than your location | 03:10 |
LjL | ! | 03:10 |
ryouma | in my dialect of english we say uncle even for non-related uncle. uncle in law is unheard of. | 03:11 |
LjL | so uhm the thing is going up... and i try to Stop it... and it doesn't stop... until it breaks into the ceiling... okay, i get it | 03:11 |

dunnp | ah | 03:13 |
dunnp | I'd just call that my uncle | 03:13 |
tinwhiskers | same | 03:13 |
tinwhiskers | uncle in law would be my wife's uncle | 03:14 |
LjL | hmm, okay. we kind of do that in italian but we tend to specify if it's not already known | 03:14 |
tinwhiskers | who I undoubtedly dislike of course | 03:14 |
dunnp | LjL: is northern italy more red sauces? | 03:14 |
dunnp | or white sauces | 03:14 |
LjL | we have specific words for mother in law and uuuh the reverse of that, and i can never remember which means which | 03:14 |
dunnp | I am craving some italian and need to pull out my grandma's meatball recipe | 03:15 |
dunnp | *italian food | 03:15 |
LjL | dunnp, based on a book of traditional Milanese cuisine i skimmed at a bookshop once, it's mostly animal organs i'd normally consider inedible | 03:15 |
dunnp | ah ok | 03:15 |
dunnp | sweet meats | 03:16 |
LjL | but thankfully we have globalization now | 03:16 |
dunnp | sweat breads? | 03:16 |
dunnp | blah | 03:16 |
ryouma | not sure if a fisrt cousin once removed can be an uncle or aunt | 03:16 |
LjL | so i can like... eat spaghetti with tomato sauce now, and it doesn't even feel foreign | 03:16 |
dunnp | .. its not? | 03:16 |
dunnp | is it? | 03:16 |
LjL | dunnp, but seriously, north would have been white, and no olive oil | 03:17 |
dunnp | you dont do tomato sauce in milan? | 03:17 |
LjL | we do everything everywhere | 03:17 |
dunnp | if there is no olive oil, what is there? | 03:17 |
LjL | butter | 03:17 |
dunnp | ah | 03:17 |
LjL | but really it depends on whether we're talking traditional, or what people do now | 03:17 |
LjL | like... my grandma would be more on the butter side, still | 03:17 |
dunnp | butter and parsley? | 03:17 |
LjL | goddamn parsley | 03:18 |
LjL | parsley haunted me at restaurants as a kid. and also not as a kid. | 03:18 |
dunnp | haha | 03:18 |
LjL | "there is no parsley in this right? RIGHT?" "sure!" *comes with parsley* | 03:18 |
LjL | but i even eat carrots now, so i might try parsley and realize i love it | 03:19 |
LjL | but also, pasta with just butter and sage. now that is okay. | 03:19 |
ryouma | obama and dick cheney are 8th cousins | 03:20 |
dunnp | yep | 03:20 |
dunnp | have sage growing in my garden | 03:20 |
LjL | ryouma, 8th... i'd have to draw a chart | 03:20 |
tinwhiskers | ryouma: I may well be your 8th cousin | 03:20 |
ryouma | do pasta shapes hold non-pasta ingredients so differently nobody would think to use the wrong one with the wrong one, other than tradition? | 03:21 |
LjL | we have basil, i wonder if we could grow some other things in our ridiculously tiny balcony. or maybe hydroponics | 03:21 |
pokiehl | Basil grows well in little pots | 03:21 |
LjL | ryouma, a bit of column one and a bit of column two | 03:21 |
tinwhiskers | basil is one of the few we can grow here without it getting eaten. We grow it in pots too. | 03:21 |
ryouma | so it is just combinatorics? | 03:22 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, are we the only animals who appreciate basil? | 03:22 |
Toadisattva | oooh I do need to plant some basil | 03:22 |
LjL | ryouma, it basically boils down to, how willing are you to have a decent enough pasta dish, but it being ruined by some italian yelling into your ear that it's all wrong? | 03:22 |
tinwhiskers | If we plant it out it gets destroyed so something likes it | 03:22 |
tinwhiskers | probably the slugs | 03:23 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, salt, salt everywhere! | 03:23 |

tinwhiskers | deer salami is most excellent! | 03:27 |
pokiehl | I don't think it would survive cooking it in a pit overnight | 03:28 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, our deaths doubling time looks much smoother and less weird than our case doubling time | 03:28 |
pokiehl | Deer tamales are also pretty good | 03:29 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, early on the confirmed counts would sit at the same level and go up in fits and bursts whereas the deaths were much more orderly | 03:29 |
dunnp | eh i dono about salami | 03:30 |
tinwhiskers | doing the doubling time on cases that don't increase for a week = infinity | 03:30 |
dunnp | from deer | 03:30 |
dunnp | all about the veggies: https://i.imgur.com/NtWVB0Y.jpg | 03:31 |
tinwhiskers | of course you need to add 50% pork fat. deer has practically no fat. | 03:31 |
tinwhiskers | (that might be a slight exaggeration) | 03:31 |
tinwhiskers | most good sausages are about 30% fat though | 03:31 |
pokiehl | Yeah it has little, deer can get tough easily | 03:32 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, in many cases "deer salami" i've seen was like 60% pork | 03:32 |
tinwhiskers | ah. ok | 03:32 |
LjL | was a bit perplexed since generally the EU doesn't let you label something something until there's at least >50% of something | 03:32 |
tinwhiskers | Back home in NZ I raised sheep, killed and butchered all our meat, and we regularly made sausages. It's quite fun making up sausage recipes. | 03:33 |
tinwhiskers | I did raise cattle too but had someone else butcher those. They are just so unmanageable. | 03:34 |
LjL | hypocritical carnivore here, would never do that, or at least not eat the meat afterwards | 03:35 |
tinwhiskers | My neighbour could dress a sheep in about 5 minutes from hoof to hook. I take about 30-40 minutes :-/ | 03:35 |

jester | https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily/ | 04:48 |
tinwhiskers | xrogaan: each state publishes its own data so that would require quite a conspiracy to pull off. | 04:53 |
tinwhiskers | You would also require the democrat states to go along with it and keep quiet. | 04:54 |
xrogaan | oh, not a conspiracy. | 04:55 |
tinwhiskers | well, it would require people in each state administration to fake their data and keep quiet about it... that is the definition of a conspiracy | 04:55 |
tinwhiskers | people conspiring together | 04:56 |
ryouma | i know my state in sw us had only a few test kits a few weeks ago and was bragging that that was a lot and they could even get more. now they are saying oh no htere are not enough test kits. | 04:56 |
xrogaan | tinwhiskers: you don't need to fake data, simply define standards in a specific way. | 04:56 |
ryouma | undercounting can be done by just letting incompetents be incompetents, no conspiracy needed i think | 04:57 |
tinwhiskers | if you define standards such that you intentionally under-report deaths then it's a conspiracy. If it's not intentional then it's not under-reporting. | 04:58 |
tinwhiskers | I don't think they can just miss the deaths | 04:58 |
xrogaan | Just like petty chiefs telling their employee that wearing masks is "unprofessional", and corporate to come and say they never ordered their workforce to not wear masks. | 04:58 |

fierycatnet | stop using epidemology as a shield | 07:14 |
lf94 | fierycatnet: euod concludes too many orgies | 07:14 |
euod[m] | stop making up horse shit. | 07:14 |
fierycatnet | wake up bud, it's pretty widespread | 07:14 |
tinwhiskers | Stop using bullcrap as a shield | 07:14 |
lf94 | good debate gentlemen | 07:14 |
fierycatnet | At this point what would it take? | 07:15 |
ryouma | pandemics do tend to be widespread | 07:15 |
tinwhiskers | d'oh | 07:15 |
fierycatnet | thousands of dropping dead so you are convicned? | 07:15 |
tinwhiskers | yes, it would take that, because then it would indicate you are correct | 07:15 |
fierycatnet | they had statistic that 50%+ are asymptomatic and dont develop sever symptoms | 07:15 |
fierycatnet | no it wouldnt | 07:16 |
tinwhiskers | oh, man | 07:16 |
euod[m] | if that stat were true, then 50% of the US couldn't have been infected. | 07:16 |
euod[m] | because it would mean 150M people weren't asymptomatic. | 07:16 |
lf94 | <SteveIrwin>And 'ere we see some 'umans | 07:16 |
euod[m] | er 75M . | 07:16 |
tinwhiskers | heh true euod[m] | 07:16 |
tinwhiskers | hoist by his own petard | 07:16 |
fierycatnet | I've made a huge mistake joining this autistic freenode channel | 07:17 |
tinwhiskers | I think we should put this to bed now | 07:17 |
lf94 | tuck it in | 07:17 |
fierycatnet | you gents believe whatever you want to belive behind your monitor | 07:17 |
tinwhiskers | spreading disinformation is harmful | 07:17 |
fierycatnet | this is more widespread than you think, that is all | 07:17 |
fierycatnet | most of these cases are unreported, fact | 07:17 |
tinwhiskers | take that elsewhere | 07:17 |
Midnght_J | world qide | 07:18 |
fierycatnet | its not disinformation | 07:18 |
tinwhiskers | you simply don't understand the basics and that is alling you to spread misinformation | 07:18 |
tinwhiskers | err. dis | 07:18 |
fierycatnet | i just told you, doctors are saying to stay home, 5 people I know who are | 07:18 |
lf94 | ok guys | 07:18 |
lf94 | "misinformation" | 07:18 |
lf94 | this is all conjecture | 07:18 |
ryouma | i'm losing the plot here. what is your point, in one sentence? | 07:18 |
euod[m] | again you're trying to expand 5 people to 300 million people. | 07:18 |
tinwhiskers | lf94: ok :-) | 07:18 |
lf94 | like come on, we are just talking | 07:19 |
tinwhiskers | this is not *all* conjecture. the epidemiology is based on evidence. fierycatnet's story is just that. | 07:19 |
fierycatnet | my fucking point is super simple, for ever person who is tested (gets approved for a test) 5 are staying home because symptoms match but they are not sever, numbers are misrepresented and its worse | 07:19 |
euod[m] | lf94: just talking doesn't involve strong statements. "I think that infection could be widespread" is different to "50% of the US have already been infected". | 07:19 |
euod[m] | fierycatnet: baseless. | 07:19 |
lf94 | euod[m]: agreed the way to say it matters | 07:20 |
fierycatnet | fine, watch this unfold further in the US and the world | 07:20 |
euod[m] | fierycatnet: your sample size of 5 people is idiotic. | 07:20 |
fierycatnet | put your head in the sand | 07:20 |
lf94 | euod[m]: when they say "50% are infected", I interpret it as "my gut is telling me, a lot of people are infected" | 07:20 |
euod[m] | fierycatnet: come back when your sample size could be called an orgy or larger. | 07:20 |
lf94 | it's not helping anyone to take things what people type literally | 07:20 |
lf94 | even what they say | 07:20 |
fierycatnet | aint that some shit then, out of people i talk to i already know 5 who were infected | 07:20 |
lf94 | you need to interpret what people say in like 10 different ways | 07:20 |
tinwhiskers | fierycatnet: I'm actually saying for every person with it confirmed there might be ten not showing symptoms (more than what you're now claiming) but the mats doesn't add up to 50% of the population. | 07:21 |
tinwhiskers | this is a logic and maths failure | 07:21 |
yuriwho | it's amazing how everyone is the expert on the virus that knows a secret that the gvmt and the doctors are all trying to hide from the world | 07:21 |
lf94 | what are they hiding | 07:21 |
euod[m] | lf94: mostly for conversations like this, there's not a lot of tone or humor. nobody is joking, or making light conversation. it's a bunch of people who are trying to make sense of a bunch of information that's clearly out of their norm. | 07:21 |
fierycatnet | how autistic are you? 50%? let it go idiot, whre did you get that number and why are you clinging to it | 07:21 |
fierycatnet | bigger picture dumbass | 07:21 |
euod[m] | fierycatnet: bigger sample size, dumbass. | 07:22 |
lf94 | euod[m]: well yeah now everyone's pissed off lmfao | 07:22 |
lf94 | people gotta go for a run or something | 07:22 |
fierycatnet | go to john hopkins for a bigger sample | 07:22 |
lf94 | being inside is killing us | 07:22 |
ryouma | a bunch of nerds in this channel go to jhu all the time | 07:23 |
euod[m] | lf94: I'm sort of amused by the whole covid-19 thing in general, as much as possible given the situation. it's a great demonstration of how few people understand basic statistics. | 07:23 |
fierycatnet | oh look, we are in statistics class now | 07:23 |
lf94 | euod[m]: i like observing the behaviors | 07:23 |
fierycatnet | lets get it down to the 0.000000000001 | 07:23 |
lf94 | hahaha | 07:23 |
fierycatnet | thats the most important thing, lmao | 07:23 |
tinwhiskers | yeah. so spreading this sort of confusing message that is completely at odds with the evidence is harmful. This is just a fairytale, and although you're welcome to your opinion you can't keep spreading that FUD here, so take it elsewhere. | 07:24 |
euod[m] | fierycatnet: we're applying middle school math here. let me know if we're going too fast for you. | 07:24 |
lf94 | > still takes jabs | 07:24 |
lf94 | someone's gotta be the bigger man here | 07:24 |
tinwhiskers | so many truthers today | 07:25 |
pwr22 | Yeah, try to be nice 🤦♂️ | 07:25 |
fierycatnet | at the end of the day, you are focusing on some number, while I claim that it's more widespread and I know people who had it, it's unreported, and Ive had it ffs. | 07:25 |
euod[m] | no you think you've had it ;) | 07:25 |
euod[m] | big difference. | 07:25 |
fierycatnet | sorry bud, I dont work for NSA, I don't have every single citizen counted | 07:25 |
lf94 | yeeessssssss | 07:25 |
fierycatnet | perhaps you do | 07:25 |
lf94 | euod[m]: nice one | 07:25 |
pwr22 | I don't think anyone here doubts that bit everyone who gets it gets tested | 07:26 |
lf94 | "Ive had it ffs" | 07:26 |
lf94 | did you see that double entendre | 07:26 |
lf94 | comical genius | 07:26 |
pwr22 | *not | 07:26 |
fierycatnet | not everybody gets tested thats the problem | 07:26 |
lf94 | I interpreted it as "Ive had it ffs [with this conversation]" | 07:26 |
fierycatnet | whats the point of this channel anyway? statistics? | 07:27 |
euod[m] | pwr22: of course not, we know there's under reporting. this doesn't match up with the statements "50% of the US has had it and doesn't know it", and it definitely doesn't mean that they can go forth assuming they are immune to it- as they've never known for sure if they have had it or not. | 07:27 |
yuriwho | you guys should listen to the "this week in virology" podcast. they get Doctors from the NYC hospitals to describe in great detail the issues they are discovering in the patients, they examine the data from various nations, interview epidemiologists, speak to researchers, explain how all of the various test work etc. And it's hosted by virologists that work with the virus in their labs | 07:27 |
tinwhiskers | Again, in some countries there is sufficiently widespread testing that we DO know approximately how many asymptomatic cases there are and it's not in the order you are suggesting. | 07:27 |
fierycatnet | I never claimed 50% of the US had it, get off my nuts | 07:28 |
pwr22 | euod I agree | 07:28 |
tinwhiskers | at one point you said it was possible 90% of the USA had it | 07:28 |
fierycatnet | you pulled a number out of your ass and use it against me to make some strawman | 07:28 |
fierycatnet | no I didnt | 07:28 |
fierycatnet | quote me | 07:28 |
lf94 | tinwhiskers: even if he did | 07:28 |
lf94 | probably in-the-moment exaggeration | 07:28 |
euod[m] | fierycatnet: "if you're in US, half of you probably had it and don't even know about it" | 07:28 |
lf94 | "90%" translate to "a lot" | 07:28 |
fierycatnet | PROBABLY had it | 07:29 |
fierycatnet | I never claimed that you HAD IT FOR CERTAIN | 07:29 |
lf94 | so that mneans | 07:29 |
tinwhiskers | <tinwhiskers> It seems like 90% of people think they've had it :-/ <fierycatnet> well, they probably did | 07:29 |
lf94 | 50% - probably% | 07:29 |
lf94 | what's the math on that one euod[m] | 07:29 |
lf94 | is it reducible | 07:29 |
pwr22 | Probably does not mean may have. It means likely... | 07:29 |
euod[m] | lf94: who knows. | 07:29 |
fierycatnet | it wasn't a statistical certainly, it was a conversation maker to make a point that the number is higher because its unreported | 07:30 |
tinwhiskers | yes, so he's saying it's likely, when in fact it is not remotely possible | 07:30 |
fierycatnet | autist | 07:30 |
lf94 | pwr22: should i be using a plus sign then | 07:30 |
ryouma | please to not use autism as an insult | 07:30 |
fierycatnet | jesus, assburgers all over up in this bitch | 07:30 |
yuriwho | this certainly is viral in the # of psychosomatic cases everywhere | 07:30 |
tinwhiskers | fierycatnet: ok, that's enough from you | 07:30 |
fierycatnet | fuck you | 07:30 |
fierycatnet | all of you autists | 07:31 |
yuriwho | lol | 07:31 |
tinwhiskers | peddle your stories somewhere else | 07:31 |
fierycatnet | achstually covid according to epidemplogists bla bla bla | 07:31 |
lf94 | fierycatnet: not ok to call names though man :) | 07:31 |
fierycatnet | lighten up ffs | 07:31 |
pwr22 | Insults like this aren't ever acceptable imo | 07:32 |
lf94 | agreed | 07:32 |
fierycatnet | according to who | 07:32 |
tinwhiskers | fierycatnet: yes, maybe up to 10 or so times as many asymptomatic cases as positive tests. You happy with that figure? | 07:32 |
fierycatnet | yes | 07:32 |
pwr22 | People are allowed to disagree | 07:32 |
fierycatnet | very happy ty | 07:32 |
pwr22 | Doesn't mean there's something wrong with them or it's ok for you to insult them | 07:33 |
lf94 | +1 | 07:33 |
pwr22 | <fierycatnet "according to who"> According to treating people with respect 🙂 | 07:33 |
fierycatnet | I agree, it only took me insulting everyone for Tin to make the right point | 07:33 |
yuriwho | this line was good: "achstually covid according to epidemplogists bla bla bla" | 07:34 |
tinwhiskers | fierycatnet: so that would put the number of infected possibly up to 3.6 million | 07:34 |
pwr22 | <tinwhiskers "fierycatnet: yes, maybe up to 10"> I think the UK is off by a 5:1 ratio myself | 07:34 |
tinwhiskers | out of 329 million in the US | 07:34 |
explore | so what's the syntax again? /ignore fieryfucktart@* or something like that? | 07:34 |
explore | pls remind me | 07:34 |
fierycatnet | thats the one | 07:34 |
pwr22 | <tinwhiskers "fierycatnet: so that would put t"> So that's like 1%? | 07:34 |
tinwhiskers | yeah | 07:35 |
fierycatnet | these people... everything is a number eh | 07:35 |
tinwhiskers | you said you were very happy with 10 times | 07:35 |
yuriwho | what a dumbass | 07:35 |
pwr22 | <fierycatnet "I agree, it only took me insulti"> tinwhiskers never disagreed that there's a degree of under reporting but that it's not 50% of the US population 🤦♂️ | 07:36 |
ryouma | where are my fonts? | 07:37 |
pwr22 | <yuriwho "what a dumbass"> Let's not be hypocritical about insults not being ok 🙂 | 07:37 |
yuriwho | germany will have the whole country antibody tested shortly | 07:37 |
tinwhiskers | wow | 07:37 |

euod[m] | I thought the comments about countries allowing people with antibodies back to work to be sort of scary. | 07:38 |
yuriwho | they are manufacturing the tests | 07:38 |
ryouma | euod[m]: in a your papers please sense? | 07:39 |
euod[m] | means there's an incentive to go have covid-19 infection parties so you can go back to work. | 07:39 |
explore | also birth place of beautiful cameras, for which you can use to take beautiful photos of the post apocalypse | 07:39 |
euod[m] | ryouma: yeah. scary from the incentive angle mostly. | 07:39 |

tinwhiskers | wow, Italy preparing antibody tests too. Someone is producing like mad | 07:49 |
tinwhiskers | all-in-all there's been some positive news in the last few days hinting at sufficient treatment and testing options that economies may get a bit of life back. | 07:52 |
euod[m] | really? | 07:52 |
tinwhiskers | a *bit* | 07:52 |
euod[m] | it seems like they're recovering enough for the stay in place to be a steady state. | 07:52 |
yuriwho | "It may seem like the Covid-19 epidemic is more like the parachute situation, but consider that many people get infected with the virus without ever really knowing that they’re sick – which is not the case with being heaved out of an airplane, for the most part. Most of the people who get the coronavirus survive – the fatality rate is of course being argued about, but is probably in the 1% range, give or take. | 07:53 |
yuriwho | Now, from a public health standpoint, that’s an awful figure, ten times as bad as the seasonal flu and with a more infectious virus as well. But for figuring out therapeutic options, it’s tricky: if most everyone will eventually recover with the current standard of care, how do you test your new idea?" | 07:53 |
yuriwho | ^ from Derek Lowe | 07:53 |
tinwhiskers | well, we know of 20K recovered patients in the US. It may be 10 times that in reality. Getting 200K people back to useful work will help support combating the virus and help the economy a bit | 07:54 |
tinwhiskers | we need an antibody test to do that and it looks like great strides are being made on that front | 07:54 |
yuriwho | yes, and all of them could potentially be frontline workers | 07:54 |
tinwhiskers | yeah | 07:54 |
tinwhiskers | add to that the positive progress toward convalescent plasma treatment and we can save quite a few lives as well. With an army of thousands of recovered patients it's possible that therapy could scale enough to make dent | 07:56 |
yuriwho | the tide will start turning soo | 07:57 |

Hullo1 | Hello | 15:01 |
Jo-Anna | No food will soon be a concern for everyone who can’t buy it thanks to being put out of work | 15:02 |
weyland|yutani | depends from where you are Jo-Anna | 15:03 |
Jo-Anna | True | 15:04 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, The covid-19 situation is under control in Czechia and we will soon be revoking the state-wide quarantine.. | 15:04 |
kreyren | we will stay in quarantine from the world though | 15:04 |
Hullo1 | Czechia as in Czechoslovakia, right? | 15:04 |
kreyren | No | 15:04 |
kreyren | Czechia == Czech republic | 15:04 |
kreyren | Aldo slovakia plans to do the same | 15:04 |
Jo-Anna | Some places have better systems than others | 15:04 |
weyland|yutani | slovakia absconded many years ago | 15:05 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, yep :p fix your government :p | 15:05 |
Jo-Anna | kreyren: more likely to be able to spin straw into gold ! | 15:05 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, worked for me (tm) | 15:05 |
Hullo1 | weyland|yutani, Ah yes | 15:06 |

kreyren | Jo-Anna, pretty much | 15:09 |
kreyren | i ain't risking going to the gym yet though | 15:09 |
kreyren | and SARS-CoV-2 transfer from a food is still concerning to me | 15:09 |

Jo-Anna | Terminally ill People are dying and it’s reported as coronavirus | 15:10 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, not in CZ but we had a death on a person who was positive on covid-19 but died on hearth disease who is still counted in as covid-19 death | 15:12 |
Jo-Anna | kreyren: what countries are normal besides yours and Belarus ? | 15:12 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, Czechia, Slovakia and Malasia as far as i was told, not sure about Belarus assuming that they didn't even commit to any quarantine and continued with crowd actions to spread the virus to populus as far as i was told | 15:13 |
Jo-Anna | kreyren: reporting cause of death as coronavirus also nullifies life insurance policies | 15:13 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, meaning? | 15:14 |
Jo-Anna | kreyren: according to rt.com the leader of Belarus want to avoid hysteria | 15:14 |
Hullo1 | kreyren, Doesn't CoVid accelerate those built in diseases that old people have thereby, contributing to their death | 15:14 |
Jo-Anna | kreyren: apparently pandemics are not covered by insurance so beneficiaries get nothing | 15:15 |
kreyren | Hullo1, yes, but from what i was told that man died without symptoms of covid-19 and based on some tests(?) he has low amount of virus particles in his body | 15:15 |
kreyren | *had | 15:15 |
Jo-Anna | The coronavirus test it is said is not very accurate | 15:17 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, czechia and slovakia has developed their own tests | 15:17 |
Jo-Anna | The test is probably for making money and spreading hysteria | 15:17 |
kreyren | CDC has three step process where czechia has one-step process which is more accurate based on available info | 15:18 |
Jo-Anna | kreyren: are you part of the eu? | 15:18 |
kreyren | Jo-Anna, Yes | 15:18 |
kreyren | Literally in the middle of the EU | 15:18 |

kreyren | We keep hearing from angry Markel doing sh@# and then going even more angry back to her homeland :p | 15:19 |
Hullo1 | Isn't Germany doing rather decent on the corona virus thing? | 15:20 |
kreyren | Hullo1, no lol | 15:20 |
kreyren | Last time i checked their minister of finances commited a suicide due to the covid-19 (based on available info) and their populus is full of Covid-19 cases overwhelming hospitals and death rate | 15:21 |
Hullo1 | Huh, With Spain, Italy and UK mucking it up; I was under the impression that Germany had the situation under control. | 15:21 |
kreyren | also they stole paid protection gear from Czechia | 15:21 |
kreyren | because how much more pathetic can you be :)) | 15:21 |
Hullo1 | Wow | 15:22 |
Jo-Anna | There is the nocebo affect of people panicking over getting sick | 15:22 |
kreyren | i would panic too | 15:22 |
kreyren | that's why there was such an outrage in czechia to enforce drastic measures and update laws | 15:23 |
Hullo1 | Is Czech Republic under complete lockdown? | 15:23 |
kreyren | Hullo1, not complete some regions have their quarantine revoked already | 15:23 |
kreyren | gov said that depending on the situation in wednesday they will revoke more regions and people are already biking etc.. | 15:24 |
kreyren | but they have to wear masks if they go out | 15:24 |

Raf[m] | that's what I thought | 15:35 |
kreyren | Generally from chemistry more heat -> More energy for the thing in question | 15:35 |
kreyren | not sure how it translates to SARS-CoV-2, but it was reported that humid environment makes it to last longer in the wild | 15:35 |
kreyren | aldo in theory if you live in a country where there is acid all around it may have a negative affect on the SARS-CoV-2 spread assuming it being acidic enough to kill it | 15:36 |
kreyren | Raf[m], | 15:37 |
kreyren | iWant2MoveOut, In czechia if the situation was this bad as it is now in US we would enforce state-wide quarantine, but in theory you can go out assuming that you don't touch anything and don't put your hands on your face and do not come in close contact (2m provided by CZ gov, but i would stay 10m) | 15:38 |
kreyren | assuming that based on available info the virus spreads through eyes, mouth, nose, blood and through reproductive organs. | 15:38 |

LjL | tinwhiskers, ubLIX gave me a population list too, but honestly, if i haven't integrated it until now, erm, like... yeah, if you include it in your CSV i predict my laziness will be overridden by the simplicity of adding it | 18:42 |

tinwhiskers | The thing I dunt like about per capita death rate is that the figure itself really carries no intuitive meaning and is only useful for comparing to other places | 18:42 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, well, what does 12.6% say intuitively? except "yiiiiiiiiiikes" | 18:43 |
tinwhiskers | Heh | 18:43 |
tinwhiskers | If I get bored I'll add it in :-) | 18:43 |
LjL | many of these things are mostly useful for comparisons with other places. your site is a more apt venue for that since you can just overlay graphs on top of each other, but those of us who obsess with these data probably have the numbers from other countries in mind anyway ;P | 18:44 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, there's another couple of things that "feel" like they are relevant, but i haven't really thought of how to use them in a meaningful way: average/median age, and population density | 18:44 |
tinwhiskers | Mmmm | 18:45 |
LjL | it probably makes more sense to find a correlation between them and total cases or total deaths or something else, than to print them in a bot, though | 18:45 |

LjL | bin_bash, join #ubuntu for example, one of the biggest channels on freenode (at least last i checked, which was admittedly a while ago), and you will see that its topic makes NO mention of logging, despite it being most definitely logged at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - but it's specified in its entrymsg, just like here. if you hadn't been annoyingly confrontational that time, i'd just have clarified that, but instead you seemed to be out on a crusade, so | 20:28 |
LjL | i thought i'd just let you talk to freenode staff if you wanted to so badly. | 20:28 |
bin_bash | i'm not on a crusade lol | 20:29 |
lf94 | TIL entrymsg | 20:29 |
lf94 | irc keeps on giving | 20:29 |
l0ndoner | how old is irc and how come its still relevant | 20:30 |
LjL | now *that* i consider offtopic, because we've already had too many IRC vs Matrix debates for my liking | 20:30 |
LjL | it's old, and it's still relevant because it's still the best tool in some people's subjective judgment. others prefer matrix and that's fine too. live and let live, and let's try to keep this place usable by both, despite some annoying things in the bridging | 20:31 |
l0ndoner | I'm cool just enjoying the chat | 20:31 |
bin_bash | okay so put it in the entry notice if you want, idgaf. just put it somewhere. i dont think telling me to talk to staff worked out in your favor since they agreed it's a fine line | 20:31 |
LjL | oh ffs | 20:32 |
LjL | it *is* in the entrymsg | 20:32 |
LjL | and you'd know that if you just typed /cs info ##covid-19 | 20:32 |
LjL | like i just told you to try doing | 20:32 |
bin_bash | hang on let me cycle then and see what it shows, because when i joined it didnt | 20:33 |
bin_bash | ok good. it shows on entry. idk why you didnt just say that in the first place. "i put it in the entry notice and that should suffice" | 20:34 |
xrogaan | so undercounting may simply due to people not going to hospitals because of no money/no healthcare, and then dying in their own home. | 20:34 |
LjL | because i like to send people on a crusade if they act passive-aggressive about it | 20:34 |
bin_bash | a crusade that only makes you look bad? | 20:35 |
LjL | xrogaan, that's certainly possible. the UK apparently announced yesterday that they will start reporting deaths at home, implying they previously didn't... | 20:35 |
bin_bash | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ok | 20:35 |
Philippe[m] | /cs info ##covid-19 | 20:35 |
LjL | bin_bash, or maybe it makes you look bad for nagging staff about the lack of an entrymsg that was actually there. but think what you like | 20:35 |

dividediff[m] | ubLIX: they displayed screenshots to various source, which couldn't be captured in the script. I've looked up some of them previous to check if they seemed legit. | 20:58 |

ubLIX | what's at issue here (for me) is the question of when it's worthwhile to even look at a 'source'. i tried to give that video (well, transcript) a fair shake, as an exercise (in futility?) to calibrate my "judge the book by its cover skill". i was not disabused of my first impression | 21:01 |
l0ndoner | anyone seen the WHO interview where the WHO representative can’t or won’t even say the word Taiwan. | 21:01 |
tinwhiskers | l0ndoner: yes. do you think if they had spoken out against China they would have been allowed to maintain a presence in China? A presence in China was critical to maintain. | 21:02 |
tinwhiskers | It's a delicate place to be and you have to cowtow to the chinese, like it or not if you want to stay there | 21:02 |
LjL | and likely also if you don't | 21:02 |
dividediff[m] | tinwhiskers: fair pt. But after this is all over, i'm hoping for a few things like WHO resignation. After it's over rather than govs dealing with it right now. | 21:02 |
tinwhiskers | Some tough calls were made and you can bet the officials who had to make them have a sour taste in their mouths. A lot of political shite going down. Can we tell people to use masks? no. We need those for health professionals., etc. | 21:04 |
tinwhiskers | Can we tell the world we don't believe China's data? No. we need to stay here | 21:04 |

l0ndoner | yea unlike the daily fail | 21:07 |
dividediff[m] | l0ndoner: is the daily equivalent to, uhh fox? | 21:07 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, i find it easy to jump to the conclusion that ejecting Taiwan from the UN was a hideous thing to do, and now we pay the consequences, as it never ends up feeling nice when you put yourself into a position where you can constantly be blackmailed if you dare treat a group of human beings forming a country as such | 21:08 |

dividediff[m] | i've been wondering about the pink part all wk | 21:09 |
l0ndoner | we have blue moon red moon pink moon | 21:09 |
dividediff[m] | i have a headcanon theory of nobody has any idea about the pink part | 21:10 |
dividediff[m] | if nobody** | 21:10 |
l0ndoner | there is a reason but cant think off top my head | 21:10 |
dividediff[m] | i thought red and pink are basically the same thing, but different time, maybe i'm just colorblind tho | 21:10 |

l0ndoner | pink moon is thanks to our cousins over the pond naming it after a flower or something | 21:12 |
bin_bash | the moon is off-topic | 21:12 |
LjL | i don't remember saying that short excursions from the channel's main topic are not okay. in fact, i think they are, most of the time. | 21:13 |
ubLIX | dividediff[m]: that Guardian article date January 21st described testing and underestimation in ways that have been repeated all over the world since. i'm not sure what this article adds to the case against the CCP | 21:13 |
bin_bash | i didnt say it was a problem, i just said it's off-topic and seemingly random | 21:13 |
LjL | i now declare today's big moon to be on-topic as it's something we can relax to if we are at least able to see it from our homes, and probably not even catch COVID from it | 21:13 |

l0ndoner | bin_bash: you do seem a bit confrontational | 21:14 |
bin_bash | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 21:14 |
LjL | bin_bash, i have a problem with you not understanding that a statement like "what does the moon have to do with anything" is passive-aggressive even though there's nothing explicitly saying that it's "a problem" | 21:14 |
bin_bash | it's passive-aggressive to ask what it's related to?? the fuck? | 21:15 |
LjL | uhm, yes. | 21:15 |
bin_bash | ive been following the entire time and there was a random "whoa the moon" so i was curious what it was related to | 21:15 |
bin_bash | clearly it was not related to anything, so that's fine and i was jsut trying to clarify | 21:15 |
dividediff[m] | ubLIX: tldwatch; china uncensored cited that and a few other newspapers which suggests that there are more covid19 deaths in china than china has admitted. The vid mentioned ways in which a cover up could be done like not testing, reporting cause of death wrong etc | 21:15 |
bin_bash | but maybe i'll just not talk since you seem to be personally attacked by anything i have to say. | 21:15 |
ubLIX | dividediff[m]: ok, but that article was dated January 21st | 21:16 |
tinwhiskers | ubLIX: they started out by explaining why they were calling the virus the CCP virus. I didn't get much further. | 21:16 |
ubLIX | *that Guardian article | 21:17 |
tinwhiskers | oh | 21:17 |
dividediff[m] | ubLIX: afaik that doesn't affect it's accuracy of the guardian. As in sometime before jan 21, chyna seemed to have been not testing properly | 21:17 |
LjL | why do you keep typing "Chyna" instead of China? | 21:18 |
l0ndoner | kind of on topic anyone else running rosetta@Home on their computers? | 21:18 |
ubLIX | dividediff[m]: it affects its relevance to the question of CCP's proclivity for censorship; the Guardian article describes nothing that hasn't been repeated across the world since | 21:18 |
tinwhiskers | Are you claiming poor testing was unique to china? | 21:18 |
dividediff[m] | i think we agree that china didn't do very much to deal with corona in the beginning and then later stepped | 21:18 |
ubLIX | dividediff[m]: ie, it doesn't support the use that China Censored wished to make of it | 21:18 |
ubLIX | dividediff[m]: but lets drop this iteration of this subject; this exercise in futility has gone on long enough | 21:19 |
tinwhiskers | in the very early days it appears that it may have been local authorities who delayed getting information to the central government in China. Whether this is true is really guesswork at this point. | 21:19 |
dividediff[m] | LjL: i've heard they don't like criticism and it's a a feble attempt to not get in trouble depending on the huawei 5g deal. | 21:19 |
LjL | err... okay, it's pretty feeble though indeed. you should try some of the tricks their use with homophones of chinese characters | 21:20 |
tinwhiskers | China seems to have a tendency to shoot messengers so local authorities would prefer to keep quiet than rock the boat. | 21:20 |

ubLIX | fair | 21:23 |

stinkpot | i mean what was their order and reasoning behind it | 21:29 |
eaxomar | uBlix there are legitimate reasons not to test | 21:29 |
tinwhiskers | I go so far as to guess that the US squandered just as much time and causing just as much harm to the american public as the chinese did. | 21:29 |
dividediff[m] | ubLIX: are you sure they surpressed it? I thought it was that trump did trump and they didn't have capacity to test or something | 21:29 |

tinwhiskers | There are about 100 people in quarantine with flu symptoms waiting for test results (but there is a big seasonal flu going around anyway). The border wasn't closed until fairly late, and we had a flight arrive with an infected flight attendant, which then went on to Fiji and some passengers there subsequently tested positive. There are still 80 passengers from that flight that have not been tracked down. Yeah, I think it's probably here | 21:37 |
tinwhiskers | . It would be a friggin miracle it if wasn't, but miracles are pretty much Tonga's strategy so I'm sure they know what they're doing. | 21:37 |

bin_bash | i doubt anyone will be getting on with their lives anytime soon | 21:44 |

dividediff[m] | how many waves do yall think your country will have? | 21:45 |

dividediff[m] | Last i checked naturally immunity is not confirmed. Even if immunity exists to covid19, it's unknown how long it'll last | 21:50 |
tinwhiskers | dividediff[m]: given how quickly the peaks are predicted to come (https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america), then I'm guessing we might start seeing cases rise again a couple of months after restrictions are eased, but if they are eased just the right amount we might not see such peaks. maybe two or three secondary peaks of lower magnitude until a vaccine is ready?? | 21:50 |

tinwhiskers | they developed antibodies that killed the virus = immune | 21:52 |
eaxomar | l0ndoner as far as i know, everyone is still doing herd immunity | 21:52 |
l0ndoner | so if there are sper spreaders are their super immunity carriers? | 21:53 |
blkshp | herd immunity is short for, stop everyone getting it now so the health service can still run | 21:53 |
l0ndoner | if there are super spreaders are their super immunity carriers? | 21:53 |
tinwhiskers | there are monkey studies where they have tried to reinfect them periodically and so far those have been running for about 2 months now and they have not been reinfected. | 21:54 |
eaxomar | l0ndoner afaik there are no healthy carriers, if you develop immunity, you don't spread. | 21:54 |
dividediff[m] | tinwhiskers: "There hasn’t been enough time to research COVID-19 in order to determine whether patients who recover from COVID-19 are immune to the disease" | 21:54 |

eaxomar | No | 21:55 |

tinwhiskers | they are immune by definition. How long for is another matter. | 21:55 |
blkshp | who takes care of the 100x the number of sick if the NHS fails? | 21:55 |
tinwhiskers | Their body is capable of killing the virus. that IS immunity | 21:55 |
dividediff[m] | tinwhiskers: “We would expect that if you have antibodies that neutralize the virus, you will have immunity,” | 21:55 |
dividediff[m] | so yea | 21:55 |

tinwhiskers | Except for some questionable observations of people testing positive again shortly after recovering, those that have recovered have not shown indications of getting reinfected. We have good reason to believe we will have immunity for at least a year or two, but we don't know for sure, hence the challenge tests on monkeys (we can't do that to people!) | 21:57 |
dividediff[m] | tinwhiskers: isn't it like that whole science cigarette thing, where cigarettes have nvr technically been proven deadly in humans - bc it's illegal to test deadly things on humans - but we know it's deadly due to testing it on arrays of non humans | 21:57 |
tinwhiskers | err. is it? | 21:57 |
dividediff[m] | tinwhiskers: if someone is immune to the strain they had, can they possibly get sick from another strain? | 21:58 |
tinwhiskers | dividediff[m]: sure, but there aren't currently any other strains and this is a much slower mutating virus than influenza | 21:59 |
eaxomar | cigarettes have been tested on humans | 21:59 |
eaxomar | no in a lab, but thoroughly in the wild | 21:59 |
kirinchan | I thought there were 8 strains | 21:59 |
l0ndoner | is it possible knowing we have super spreaders that there are people who are super immune, couldn't we use that if they agreed... crude layout of a question and I appolise | 21:59 |
l0ndoner | appoligise* | 22:00 |
eaxomar | l0ndoner it doesn't seem to be the case. | 22:00 |
dividediff[m] | eaxomar: yea correlational studies rather than double blind randomised i think | 22:00 |
eaxomar | Exactly | 22:00 |
tinwhiskers | l0ndoner: when you deal with millions of cases of things just about anything is possible in very small numbers. | 22:00 |
eaxomar | but for some things you just can't double blind | 22:00 |
dividediff[m] | tinwhiskers: i heard about ~8 strains too | 22:00 |
eaxomar | where does the number come from? | 22:01 |
tinwhiskers | dividediff[m]: that's arbitrary. You coudl equally say there are 3000 strains since we have that many different sequences. | 22:01 |
eaxomar | and how do you define a strain? | 22:01 |
tinwhiskers | you visually look at the phylogenetic tree and say... I reckon that branch looks special | 22:01 |
dividediff[m] | tinwhiskers: okay ic, so the other covid19 strains are insignitifant. thats good | 22:01 |
eaxomar | and do we know anything about cross immunity between different variations? | 22:02 |
tinwhiskers | You can see the tree here: https://nextstrain.org/ | 22:02 |
l0ndoner | Does the virus attacks the cells if so so does cancer and we've come on leaps and bounds in that regard | 22:03 |
tinwhiskers | https://nextstrain.org/ncov rather | 22:03 |

tinwhiskers | eaxomar: as you can see, it's pretty arbitrary if you say there is 8 or 12 or 15 branches in that tree | 22:06 |
ThomCat[m] | l0ndoner Uhhh, seeing as we have 10 million cancer deaths every year worldwide | 22:06 |
l0ndoner | yea but certain cancers are now curable where as before it was a death sentence | 22:07 |

tinwhiskers | l0ndoner: this virus is curable as well | 22:07 |
bin_bash | it's not true to say that some cancers are curable. | 22:07 |

kreyren | tinwhiskers, i am because i believe that we have the accurate count within 97% of infected with covid-19 that were hold under the quarantine and the mortality is within those who did not listen to government issued warning about traveling to risk areas that came back with the infection to be treated and mostly died as a result of that. | 22:51 |
Arsanerit | linext: nearest hotspot is Hohenlohekreis with 585 positively tested cases on 112,000 inhabitants | 22:51 |
linext | if you divide 350,000 by 256, you can get the number of healthy to sick people | 22:51 |
Arsanerit | Germany tests more than many other countries | 22:51 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: that really doesn't speak to why your numbers have increased so quickly. | 22:52 |

tinwhiskers | "those who did not listen" is part of your valid numbers, not an excuse to consider them lower than they show | 22:52 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, why not? As you can see there are no longer increasing which i believe proves the info provided | 22:52 |
Arsanerit | linext: They did close almost everything here, but we're still allowed to go outside. | 22:53 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: you're not making a lot of sense | 22:53 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, O.o | 22:53 |
dividediff[m] | guys chill | 22:54 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, makes sense to me.. | 22:54 |
tinwhiskers | well, ok :-) | 22:54 |
Arsanerit | Some district in northeast Germany have less than 20 cases per 100k inhabitants | 22:54 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, or like prove me wrong i am open minded ^-^ | 22:54 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: you're making excuses for the bad numbers you have, but the excuses just are not reasonable. | 22:55 |
tinwhiskers | you can't exclude cases where people ignored advice as though they shouldn't count against you | 22:55 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, why not? | 22:55 |
dividediff[m] | "hydroxy moron | 22:56 |
dividediff[m] | One who preaches the miracle nature of hydroxychloroquine sulfate that has nothing to do with the business degree they hold or the virus they're trying to cure." | 22:56 |
tinwhiskers | well, every country can do that. they are a valid part of the count | 22:56 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, i don't disagree with that, but i am saying that those people caused the mortality rate and spread the infection where czechia couldn't really do anything more assuming it being democratic country and not dictatorship to force those people in staying in the country assuming that they were infected outside of czechia | 22:57 |
tinwhiskers | your imported cases is a valid reason to say your count is not representative of the management stragegy | 22:57 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: right. every country faces that problem and those cases count against their total. You don't get to wave away cases because people behaved badly. | 22:58 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, i don't disagree with that, but you pointed to those numbers proving that the covid-19 situation in czechia is bad where it is not assuming that we are in process of revoking quarantine.. | 22:59 |
tinwhiskers | revoking quarantine has nothing to do with your numbers | 23:00 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, it has to do with the situation i don't dispute the numbers | 23:00 |
tinwhiskers | your numbers are what they are because of how your management has panned out | 23:00 |
tinwhiskers | and your numbers are just not that good | 23:01 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, i would say that they are the best possible result assuming that we did not force those citizens from traveling to risk countries. | 23:01 |
kreyren | they would be much better otherwise based on establishment they would be 50% down at minimum | 23:02 |
aradesh | lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gds2fRXSXjQ | 23:02 |
tinwhiskers | well, your management choice is your management choice, however the result of that choice is that your numbers are not very good - certainly not as good as has been claimed | 23:02 |
aradesh | trump's ordered 29 million tablets that are almost certainly not going to help | 23:02 |
Brainstorm | New from CNBC Health at 20:55 UTC: Coronavirus live updates: France becomes fourth country to pass 10,000 deaths: COVID-19 has now infected more than 1,407,100 people around the world, killing at least 80,759 people as of Tuesday. → https://is.gd/m0bP6h | 23:03 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, i would say good, but not perfect assuming the infection from outside of czechia and leak of infection in senior care house that caused another <20 fatalities | 23:03 |
tinwhiskers | everyone could say their numbers would be better if they had done something else, but the fact is you did what you did and the numbers are what they are. | 23:03 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, i don't feel like going full trump by doing things like letting infected citizens die on a cruise ship is an acceptable solution for czechia to make the numbers look better i.e forcing them to stay in a state | 23:05 |
Brainstorm | Updates for World: +1911 cases (now 1421613), +126 deaths (now 81652), +118 recoveries (now 301516) since 46 minutes ago — US: +1555 cases (now 393030), +105 deaths (now 12657), +73 recoveries (now 21561) since 46 minutes ago — Massachusetts, US: +1365 cases (now 15202), +96 deaths (now 356) since 46 minutes ago | 23:05 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: well, as I said, importing cases is a valid reason, but not things like people misbehaving or the results of you implementing your strategy of easing restrictions. Those are precisely the things that count toward your numbers - your management. | 23:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | RKI database disaster \o/ :-S | 23:09 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, but they don't necessary provide the accurate representation of a situation, i.e comparing 4000 infected in czechia to iran -> Czechia does test so that we know who exactly is infected and is being handled where it is not in populus compared to iran not reporting numbers and letting people die | 23:09 |
mefistofeles | DocScrutinizer05: what? | 23:09 |
bin_bash | kreyren: really? every person in czechia has been tested? | 23:09 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: your argument doesn't hold up and czechia is not in a special place with regard to ignoring cases they don't want | 23:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | https://corona.rki.de/ cases/day random nonsense | 23:10 |
kreyren | bin_bash, 97% of all cases was based on my research assuming that people who has the symptoms has the tests for free and that people are reporting others who cough to be investigated | 23:10 |
bin_bash | kreyren: ok so no, thye arent. | 23:11 |
bin_bash | so it's the same as everywhere else. | 23:11 |
tinwhiskers | I know you really really want to believe czechia is doing a great job but it's just not and that comes down to how you have managed the situation. | 23:11 |
bin_bash | blind nationalism is a helluva drug | 23:11 |
mefistofeles | DocScrutinizer05: you mean the big bar there? | 23:11 |
tinwhiskers | yeah | 23:11 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, i don't understand your logic to decide that X amount of cases compared to mortality provides an accurate representation of the situation in the country assuming that there are lots of variables as explained above | 23:12 |
tinwhiskers | every country has a lot of variables. You can't ignore cases based on the behaviour of people you don't condone or that you are easing your restrictions. That is all part of how you are managing the situation | 23:13 |
kreyren | bin_bash, i ain't nationalist O.o i am mostly the one who keeps complaining, but from available information i don't believe the situation being bad as presented above | 23:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | https://i.imgur.com/zrDNkzT.png https://i.imgur.com/ejew0Dl.png https://i.imgur.com/AVrkysm.png | 23:13 |
dividediff[m] | How good is our lung rejuvenation tech? Since corona seems to smtms leave perm dmg | 23:13 |
mefistofeles | DocScrutinizer05: ok, I see, crazy shit xD | 23:14 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, i am not disputing the numbers i am disputing the situation assumed from the numbers, the decision to let the citizens travel to risk countries and the random infection in senior care house is on czechia | 23:14 |
tinwhiskers | ok, well this is goping round in circles now. I give up. | 23:14 |
kreyren | meh | 23:14 |
mefistofeles | DocScrutinizer05: I see a "Data limit exceeded" warning thing | 23:14 |
mefistofeles | lol | 23:14 |
Brainstorm | New from CNBC Health at 21:08 UTC: (news): Coronavirus live updates: Amazon testing disinfectant fog at New York warehouse after protests → https://is.gd/m0bP6h | 23:14 |
mefistofeles | probably these arcgis dashboards are a crappy solution... who's shocked? not me | 23:15 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, for the record i said that those two incidents are on czechia never said that they shoudn't count or something | 23:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | actually I'm surprised it worked so long | 23:15 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: I'm not saying the situation in czechia is bad, just that it's not any better than most other countries, as it is held up to be. | 23:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ((data limit warning)) getting same now, seems they're recovering slowly, diagram ends 2020-04-03 now | 23:18 |
aradesh | yeah i thought czechia were doing pretty well | 23:18 |
tinwhiskers | that's what we've been told but the numbers say otherwise | 23:19 |
tinwhiskers | they're not doing badly either though | 23:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | meanwhile https://sites.google.com/view/covid19-intel/europe/germany 5,605 6,151 6,888 6,390 4,489 4,385 3,341 4,032 (last one nit fixed yet) | 23:20 |
Arsanerit | We'll get over it. | 23:20 |
kreyren | tinwhiskers, fair enough O.o i believe that the numbers with prove you otherwise soon :3 | 23:27 |
tinwhiskers | kreyren: I hope so | 23:27 |
mefistofeles | Arsanerit: of course, nobody thinks otherwise, except paranoids | 23:28 |
mefistofeles | I just hope there's something to be learnt from this, but tbh, I can easily see people 2-3 months after going back o normal form all this just forgetting about why this really happened | 23:29 |
tinwhiskers | we only get a virus every 80 years or so. No need to fund the WHO or CDC. They did a crap job anyway. | 23:30 |
Arsanerit | mefistofeles: many people yes, although in general I think it's going to take a little longer than 2-3 months | 23:30 |
tinwhiskers | umm /s | 23:30 |
Arsanerit | IIRC when H1N1 came around France ordered 85 million vaccines (?) then destroyed them unused, health minister was criticised for waste. | 23:30 |
mefistofeles | Arsanerit: that's not what I said | 23:30 |
Arsanerit | mefistofeles: nor me | 23:30 |
mefistofeles | I didn't mean it was going to take 2-3 months | 23:30 |
Arsanerit | mefistofeles: we agree | 23:30 |
graphine | hej | 23:31 |
mefistofeles | Arsanerit: ok, gotcha | 23:31 |
graphine | how is life todays | 23:31 |
Arsanerit | And now for something completely different. | 23:31 |
kreyren | Is trump infected by covid-19? Seems that he's taking some experimental drug agains it now? | 23:36 |
DocScrutinizer05 | how do you know? did he turn from orange to green? | 23:37 |
mefistofeles | personal call | 23:38 |
mefistofeles | ;) | 23:38 |
tinwhiskers | someone mentioned purple bile earlier. I guess if trump turned green, his bile might go purple (green+orange) | 23:38 |
graphine | hej mefistofeles | 23:38 |
euod[m] | trump is fat and old, so he's probably one of the highest risks possible. that said he has some expensive care around him. | 23:38 |
aradesh | expensive care doesn't make much difference to be honest | 23:38 |
aradesh | it's a virus that we don't know how to cure | 23:38 |
kreyren | DocScrutinizer05, from https://youtu.be/-270VwW1C_0 apparently | 23:39 |
aradesh | all you can do is provide some oxygen and make you feel more comfortable | 23:39 |
mefistofeles | it does, you get a ventilator really early | 23:39 |
mefistofeles | :P | 23:39 |
kreyren | trying to find a reference now | 23:39 |
graphine | insulting trump doesnt help at all | 23:39 |
mefistofeles | your lungs wont collapse as most covid patients do | 23:39 |
tinwhiskers | It's hard to imagine someone like that not getting convalescent plasma therapy now, which should give very good results. | 23:39 |
aradesh | mefistofeles: right, but other than that | 23:39 |
kreyren | graphine, helps my mood | 23:39 |
kreyren | :p | 23:39 |
euod[m] | expensive care can go as far as literally putting trump in a positive pressure room and welding him there. | 23:39 |
graphine | hm | 23:39 |
aradesh | mefistofeles: not gonna be any difference between a million dollar ventilator and a normal one :P | 23:39 |
euod[m] | graphine: er that's more a medical assessment than an insult. he is fat, he is old. | 23:39 |
euod[m] | both are risk factors. | 23:39 |
mefistofeles | aradesh: problem is that many covid patients don't get one at all | 23:39 |
graphine | i see euod[m] | 23:39 |
aradesh | mefistofeles: yup :/ | 23:39 |
mefistofeles | actually, most of them | 23:40 |
mefistofeles | but anyways xD | 23:40 |
aradesh | mefistofeles: but what i mean was, being a billionaire or whatever, won't get you anything -extra- than that, as there is just nothing we know of | 23:40 |
tinwhiskers | from what I understand if you get convalescent plasma early enough it's almost a sure thing | 23:40 |
aradesh | that can be done | 23:40 |
graphine | lots of americans are fat | 23:40 |
graphine | good luck lol | 23:40 |
rager | lol | 23:40 |
rager | he definitely has a revolving cast of bloodbags | 23:40 |
rager | they're all responsible for producing the antibodies his own immune system can't possibly imagine doing any more | 23:40 |
euod[m] | mefistofeles: I doubt it matters. you have a 20-40% chance of living if you're on a ventilator depending where you read. it's end times if you are in that situation. | 23:40 |
rager | if I were a billionaire, I'd keep a few people on retainer who'd recovered for those plasma infusions | 23:40 |
graphine | we will than all get trumps blood? rager | 23:40 |
graphine | i ll pass than | 23:41 |
graphine | some channels on freenode irc should be ranamed from social into anti-social | 23:42 |
graphine | not very talkative | 23:42 |
graphine | this room is rocknroll just the topic is sad | 23:42 |
mefistofeles | euod[m]: that's because you get a ventilator late, because there aren't many so you cannot give them early | 23:42 |
rager | Slack did a real number on IRC | 23:42 |
mefistofeles | euod[m]: but Trump or so, would just get one early | 23:43 |
graphine | plus backup | 23:43 |
mefistofeles | just like mr Johnson | 23:43 |
euod[m] | mefistofeles: would he though? it means being sedated generally. | 23:43 |
rager | most terrifying news lately was the evidence of heart damage | 23:43 |
mefistofeles | euod[m]: again, mr Johnson | 23:43 |
graphine | heart damage ? | 23:44 |
tinwhiskers | he'll just drink the blood of an aide with matching blood type | 23:44 |
rager | like... 50% of people who end up with heart tissue damage from covid-19 end up dead | 23:44 |
rager | and 20% of the folks in hospitals are ending up with heart damage | 23:44 |
rager | https://khn.org/news/mysterious-heart-damage-not-just-lung-troubles-befalling-covid-19-patients/ | 23:44 |
tinwhiskers | rager: 100% end up dead! | 23:44 |
mefistofeles | tinwhiskers: USA like to give even more, 110% | 23:44 |
mefistofeles | likes* | 23:44 |
graphine | lol | 23:44 |
tinwhiskers | :-) | 23:44 |
graphine | mefistofeles, | 23:45 |
graphine | haha | 23:45 |
rager | you know exactly what I meant | 23:45 |
tinwhiskers | rager: the time period is important. I don't know what you mean at all. | 23:45 |
tinwhiskers | within a month? 5 years? | 23:45 |
graphine | 1110% as trump is 1010 | 23:45 |
rager | uh huh | 23:45 |
rager | we haven't had 5 years of covid-19, genius | 23:45 |
tinwhiskers | well, in that case I'll just have to call bullshit on your numbers I'm afraid | 23:46 |
graphine | anti matter can maybe help | 23:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | tinwhiskers: >>if you get convalescent plasma early enough it's almost a sure thing<< should do, yeah | 23:46 |
graphine | they said it somewhere | 23:46 |
rager | https://khn.org/news/mysterious-heart-damage-not-just-lung-troubles-befalling-covid-19-patients/ | 23:47 |
rager | not my numbers, it's Kaiser Permanente's | 23:47 |
rager | they do hospitals or something | 23:47 |
rager | so stop playing semantic games and just read the damn article | 23:47 |
mefistofeles | graphine: I bet a physicist said that... I don't really get why physicists think they should have a word in all of this? just stfu and let the real experts deal with it | 23:47 |
graphine | Kaiser? | 23:47 |
mefistofeles | </rant> | 23:47 |
graphine | Franz Beckenbauer? | 23:47 |
graphine | lol mefistofeles | 23:47 |
graphine | satan has it ways doesnt he mefistofeles | 23:48 |
graphine | heat helps anyway | 23:48 |
rager | only a physicist actually thinks antimatter exists | 23:48 |
tinwhiskers | rager: so by lung damage did you mean heart damage? "And those who did were significantly more likely to die: 51% of those with heart damage died versus 4.5% who did not have it." | 23:48 |
rager | engineers know that it "does" but not in any appreciable sense | 23:48 |
rager | okay, so I flubbed a word here and htere | 23:48 |
rager | my "Oh... shit" conclusion is that heart damage is common, and it's pretty bad for you | 23:49 |
graphine | technnician than have to put the anti matter into those little pills | 23:49 |
graphine | lol | 23:49 |
graphine | thats you can take | 23:49 |
rager | does this scary? discuss. | 23:49 |
graphine | better heart dead than brain dead | 23:49 |
tinwhiskers | 19% of severe cases showed heart damage and of those 51% died. That is a concern, for sure :-) | 23:50 |
rager | eh... either way, and you stop living | 23:50 |
graphine | i better go and create something graphical | 23:50 |

rager | severe cases are a category included generally within that category | 23:51 |
