Sue me, but I also find this interesting
The people who did the study above - were worried that this type of research, while good for studying possible future pandemics, was potentially dangerous and further research likely to not be done in USA because... a US government-mandated pause on gain of function studies
I have never heard of that so I checked it out -
Quote:
Last month in an unusual step, the U.S. government announced a “pause” in federal funding for virology studies that involve tweaking influenza, MERS, and SARS viruses in ways that could make them more transmissible or pathogenic in mammals. The government encouraged everyone conducting such gain-of-function (GOF) projects to voluntarily pause while experts spend a year hashing out the risks and benefits of the studies and developing a policy for when to allow them.
This occurred in 2014
And then authors of previous posted study go on to say ...
Quote:
Together, these data and restrictions represent a crossroads of GOF research concerns; the potential to prepare and mitigate future outbreaks must be weighed against the risk of creating more dangerous pathogens.
I don't want to believe this was accidental, man-made, a bioweapon, whatever. But are you guys really positive, 100%, that this isn't some catastrophic fuck up or attempt at biowarefare? How can we even be certain if this type of research had been ongoing like this. You think China wouldn't push things to the fucking limit?
tl;dr
I am just a crazy nutter folks, nothing to see here.

If it was man-made, I feel like it'd be a LOT deadlier.

All over the world today, many Orthodox Christians will be taking communion for lent with a shared spoon. Even in the USA. At my Dad's church today, 200+ people will be sharing the same spoon and packed into the same room. I've begged him to stop services but he says Jesus will save him. I told him Jesus sent him doctors and nurses telling him and the whole community to stop this shit, and he told me they don't know anything.
There's millions of people in the US and the world ignoring the advice of medical professionals and taking the advice of some stupid bullshit bishop.

That's why I'm so scared. My Dad is 70 and he has heart problems...just like 75% of the parishioners in his church...and it's a large community...maybe around 2,000+ people.

First thing I asked my mom last week when shit started getting bad around here ( a lot of cases popping up) was if my grandparents were still attending church. Figured if it started spreading through the church it would be really devastating..
My grandparents are hardcore christians and have been at church every sunday for the last like 40-50 years bar some possible situations like surgeries or hospitalizations or whatever where they may have missed it...
anyways, they shutdown completely before last weeks service..I was really happy to hear that. I believe all the churches around here have done it due to the guiudelines on group gatherings set out by the government, although it's possible some idiotic people are still doing service in some places, who knows..
Hopefully your dad comes to his senses

I wonder if this virus could spread to the bat populations of every country, and if so, what the consequences of that could be. More opportunity for the virus to mutate, anyway.
I wonder if a bat could catch the virus by eating a mosquito that contained infected human blood.

Also keep in mind my timeline might be inaccurate because it's possible that I only noticed my symptoms 5 days ago when they got bad enough to notice.
Well shit man at least you didn't end up in the hospital or something. Sounds pretty shitty but, better than what a lot of people are going through I guess
hope you get better soon

Never trust these twats from the ministry of silly hats.

How the ever living fuck anyone with two brain cells to rub together gives these cunts credence is mind boggling. Positively. Pythonesque. Idiocy.
I mean. Look at these two fuckers....

Suggestions for stress relief in said situation?
Nothing wrong with nicotine man smokong can even be healthy for you but it is everything in moderation, if you need the nicotine id switch to chewing tobacco, it is far less dangerous when abused than smoking tabocco or vaping. Probably best you keep the nicotine going because you can get sick from not having it when your body is used to it and you dont want to be in a weakened state.

Nah you’re just being homophobic. He said he has no health conditions. 🤦♂️
Not that any of this has anything to do with him being gay but: He said he has asthma and uses an inhalor... That's not "no health conditions" Wild guess: Asthma probably isn't negligible when it comes to respiratory diseases...

I’m crying my eyes out right now, but they’re tears of joy and relief. Someone high up in the food chain put a stop to communion and services at the last minute just like any time the Cleveland Browns ever won a game. I’ve been trying to remain calm and logical for two weeks now. Now the old man will listen.

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/health-professionals/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html
Canada is over 1000 cases now not sure if the expansive growth is due to the highly viral nature of it or expansion of testing services
it is also 'neat' to note that now Manitoba is back below Saskatchewan for number of cases could be in error, but think that the demographics of Manitoba more favour winter/senior travellers as well as having a slightly higher population than Saskatchewan so kind of disproportionate and unexpected change in the numbers from my initial affirmation of safety location

I am really curious about corticosteroids (asthma inhalers contain these). If dude felt like he couldn't breathe he was probably trying to use his puffers as that is what would have helped in the past.
But some of the very first reporting from china mentions that steroids can make patients worse

@tantrika
I think it's due to testing increase, I think if we were testing at the rate of new york or some other places, we would probably have 5000-10000 cases by now easily. Theres just not way it hasn't infected that many people. We have had a really severe lack of testing here for a while, I still don't think it's anywhere near sufficient. The virus is still rapidly spreading I'm sure, so by the time they start testing enough we'll probably be in the 50K to 100K infected range...

Pubs Australia wide ordered to close at midday tomorrow. Churches were told to close last week. Bondi Beach was closed yesterday. The Northern Territory, Victoria, New South Wales and the A.C.T have closed their state/territory borders. N.S.W. and Victoria are shutting down except for essential services.
It's down to the pointy end of the pineapple this week.
If people don't stop circulating we will be where Italy is in 2 weeks.
