Can the shroomery come up with an alternative protection method from COVID ? 1
#26541401 - 03/17/20 07:23 PM (3 years, 10 months ago) |

I am a little stoned right now but I have been thinking for several days on the possibility of trying to create some sort of protection for the average person from COVID without reducing the amount of medical respirators they're needed for medical workers. I'm wondering with this community's knowledge if we can do enough for research on not only what is used in respirators and how they work but I've been thinking back to the Bubonic plague and doing a lot of research on how the plague doctors manage do often not get infected or at least semi often.
The main reason that plague doctors had a little more protection is because they had suits made out of leather essentially. Now I'm going to do more research on what materials go into medical respirators as much as possible but I have no engineering background. I know this seems like a pie in the sky type of post to laugh off and some stoned dude thinking we can create anything like that on affordable or scaleable basis or that it'd even work bug it could be worth looking into while we are all going crazy.
Mainly I'm thinking more down the line when there's more infections and more dead, this may get to an unavoidable point for everyone so I'm wondering what brainstorming ideas we can come up with in our time of crisis.

Take massive doses of psychedelics and hide at home. 
That's my end of times survival strategy anyway.

Make our cells reject any RNA that is injected into them and only accept DNA?
Any further questions should be accompanied by the fact that I have 'almost' no idea what I'm talking about, other than this virus uses RNA instead of DNA and injects it into cells which then follow the RNA 'blueprint' and start manufacturing more copies of the virus.
Or perhaps use some kind of genetically altered virus/bacteria that only feeds on RNA, set it loose in a patient's body and once the coronavirus (operating on RNA) is gone it will starve to death. Assuming there is no naturally occuring RNA in the human body it should be pretty safe.
Maybe?
I'm way out of my league here.

The average person is not going to die from this. Get infected, stay away from those who can't handle the infection, then you will have the anibodies and have free roam of the US with all then insane discounts without fear of this shit anymore.

Yar, that's the standard line no? In Dallas they've had a few cases of 20 to 30 year olds with no underlining health conditions end up in critical condition.

So, get sick, require a ventilator and hospital bed, alas they're all in use. That slims down anyone's chance of survival regardless of age.
As a community that deals with preventing bacterial infections it couldn't hurt to put our heads together to find some at home solutions that might help even if only a little bit.

The criteria to be tested is too strict right now. I bet there are at least ten fold people who have it but either dont qualify to be tested or are not severe enough to even come see us.
I even have symptoms and they won't check me because A: i havent knowing had contact, B: i havent been outside the country, C: My symptoms are not severe enough.
I'm not worried about 2 or 3 young healthy people who are in critical condition when we don't have a realistic picture of how many are actually infected and there are other diseases that we dont even blink an eye to that kill us by the thousands every year.

That is genuinely horrible advice and that sort of attitude is part of the reason why the US is going to suffer so much from this.

It's not panic. That's what the CDC and every physician and epidemiologist on Earth recommends, especially since you're more likely to be around people who probably will die from their symptoms.

Dude first off there's a lot of people with pre existing conditions that gives you a higher chance of having a fatal complication you should know that making blanket medical statements like that is reckless. Secondly I take care of my disabled father who has interstitial lung disease and even if I could build immunity or it wouldn't effect me much and wouldn't threaten me you know damn well I would pass that on to my dad. People have responsibilities, people that have to take care of, babies, toddlers pregnant wives (my brothers wife is due in july) Not everyone has the ability to completely self isolate. Even people without responsibilities need food from the store and that becomes a source of possible infection for everyone.
Also this is the list of materials for an N95 respirator (don't go buying it up though people this is just a concept build)
Straps – Thermoplastic Elastomer • Nose Clip – Aluminum • Nose foam - Polyurethane •Filter – Polypropylene • Shell – Polyester • Coverweb - Polyester • This respiratorcontains no components made from natural rubber latex • Approximate weight of product: 0.35 oz.

I never stated that I go to work sick.
Do you follow CDC recommendations for the Flu? The flu has been more deadly than the coronavirus even in China. How about for STDs such as kissing or sex without a condom?
Obviously you would take more precautoons against the virus if you have underlying conditions.
My original statement wasnt 100% sincere other than the cheap trip, you panic mongering fukers.

This virus has a fatality rate that at least 60 times or so greater than the flu viruses and you can go through the whole thing without displaying symptoms (which makes it harder to control, since it's not obvious that somebody is carrying it). It also has a prodromal phase that can last a couple weeks and you're still shedding viral particles for about a week after your symptoms subside. Even if the flu infects more people it's never caused hospitals to overflow to the point that doctors have to decide to just let patients die. Quit being a stubborn, selfish cunt.

Yar, that's the standard line no? In Dallas they've had a few cases of 20 to 30 year olds with no underlining health conditions end up in critical condition.

So, get sick, require a ventilator and hospital bed, alas they're all in use. That slims down anyone's chance of survival regardless of age.
As a community that deals with preventing bacterial infections it couldn't hurt to put our heads together to find some at home solutions that might help even if only a little bit.
Keeping your cultures clean is nothing like trying to fight a novel disease like this. I'm sure that there are some users who roll by here every once in a while who might be working in labs to help develop assays and whatnot (or even generate just generate data), but this is way above Shroomery's paygrade.

I just used duct tape and taped my nose, mouth and eyes shut. I'll definitely not get covid-19, also a whole head condom (must be sealed at bottom) will work, think clear plastic with some type of ligature to close the bottom at your neck.

True.
To be honest I'm more looking for a way for the layman to mitigate exposure in situations where they have to be exposed. Hell, I've got a gas mask specifically for riding the bus that I've luckily not had to use yet.
Silly thought. Without filters or anything fancy, what if we merely had a mask that vented our air away from face level?
Imagine an old school gas mask like where it vents to a wallet like apparatus. Vent downward and maybe behind your back?
Someone sneezes or coughs there's a minimal chance of getting infected without having to layer with filtration. Think of it as a plague snorkel.
Again, this is for situations where you have to be around a lot of people. Riding the bus, rail, or waiting in line to checkout.
Thoughts?

Masks aren't going to really help you from getting the virus. They'll help you from spreading it (because droplets containing viral particles will get stuck in the material) but you're better off just limiting your exposure to other people and washing your hands way more than you think that you should.

Yeah, but we aren't seeing a deadly flu pandemic right now.

I wonder if you could fabricate a mask out of a HEPA house filter, ya know those big square ones.
You can, and many nurses are doing it. Whether or not it is effective remains unclear, but it's certainly better than nothing.

Masks help if you use them right.
Right now masks that aren't supposed to be reused are being reused anyway. They're doing some kind of sterilization procedure on them. Supposedly. God help us all if they're not.
Meanwhile I'm seeing a few nurses in the harder hit areas that are receiving what are essentially gas masks that the government had been reserving for a chemical weapons terrorist attack.

I was thinking a skiing/snowboarding type of mask but an enclosed mouth and nose apparatus with leather securing around the face to stop droplets entering the sides and such. Treated with the stuff that makes droplets of shit roll off with a simple shielding securing. I'm still wondering if HEPA filter would work or if it's needed already in the medical field and if so what other material would work? Also possibly Silicone like in wax containers and bongs.

A mushroom fourm and nobody has yet mentioned mushrooms? I thought that would be an easy one. Yall, boost your immune system using reishi and/or Turkey tail. You could build a face shield with goggles and tyvek envelopes. Personally, I'd just use a welding face shield and a good dust mask, but immune system support supplements is what everyone should be working on if they haven't already . I've got a few bottles of reishi on standby. check out Amazon.

Paul Stamets mentions coronavirus in his patent on agarikon/trametes/ganoderma immunomodulatory supplements. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C44&q=paul+stamets+coronavirus&oq=paul+stamets+coro#d=gs_qabs&u=%23p%3DrFjQF-NvVzMJ Patents mean nothing as far as scientifically validated ideas go but I think its possible some of these might work in a clinical setting combined with other treatments and medicines.

I did try using the filter material, cut from tyvek overalls, that I normally use on my jars fixed to a tube with an elastic band, FSAG. Guess what, you couldn't breath through it.
I might try a less 'dense' material, garden weed suppresser, that I know you can breath through, and stuff the tube with polyfill, again, for FSAG.
Anyone think that the cat you're unwittingly dripping virus all over while it sits purring on your lap, is a vector for transmission to any cat loving neighbours that might pet it when it visits their garden?
Edit. Just out of interest. How would you pet keepers react if the government, realising that cats and dogs were a vector for transmission, ordered the destruction of all such pets?
I'm guessing it would go something like "you can talk my pooch the same time you take my guns, from my cold, dead..."
