It’s why I’m skeptical the FDA will rush the vaccine too much, as opposed to an actual treatment. The vaccine will be taken by billions of healthy people. Safety is no joke. A treatment for severe cases is a different story, it’s a much smaller group, with much less to lose. We’ll see some record approvals in this space.

If anything, I'd say it was researched in a lab, not lab-made. Not from scratch, anyway.

Wow. Will continue to send good thoughts to you both!!!

@Rich said in Anyone else still going into work every day?: MMB and Riley---good to see you both! I agree. Good to see some old faces and hope more will show up also

@Loki said in How the curve is now being viewed.: @Copper said in How the curve is now being viewed.: Everyone (just about) underreacted before they overreacted. Then there was the panic. Sadly, we will never know how business as usual would have gone. But, I think, most will be absolutely positive they know exactly how business as usual would have gone. We do know that Florida and Louisiana were going to absolute disasters due to GOP leadership and suddenly they are doing great because one week of social distancing cured them. Those two states went from Prime Time to nowhere to be found overnight. Same leadership before and after.

Same thing here with Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. Just too much crossover.

It's a Wonder!

When this takes hold in Africa it will cut a wide swath of death. China will not be popular.

But we are bending the curve. [image: 5e98556a0b3c9b3fa86d37a6?width=1200&format=jpeg&auto=webp]

I got a sleek white one. But I paid 215. I didn't care. I saw the knockoffs on Amazon and they looked worse than fake. It was either burn masks (themselves bought dearly on eBay) or buy the thing.

@mark said in Calico was tough.: Oh man. Tough day. Good on you for not letting her suffer. Yes. This. Hardest part of having pets or animals of any kind, letting them go before they suffer needlessly. It's awful and necessary.

@Aqua-Letifer @Mik @George-K I'm sure George knows this, but that's the same guy that gave us Link to video

Well it wasn’t 175k jobs in NY of course. But the structural shift of retail and jobs of course when there are none for gig workers. None of this Covid was knowable but just probably stings a lot more now.

@Mik said in Drug Shortages: Why is propofol is short supply? It's short acting. I would not think it terribly useful in sedating intubated patients. George? Very useful - when given by infusion. You through gallons of the stuff.

I saw it yesterday. I was going to post it.

He shot himself https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2019/04/08/dutch-f-16-makes-emergency-landing-after-plane-shoots-itself/ **"A Dutch F-16 fighter jet flying a training exercise over the Netherlands scored a direct hit — on itself — when the pilot fired the aircraft’s 20mm rotary cannon. Sometimes, even inanimate objects will do anything to get out of training. The Royal Netherlands Air Force pilot was able to make an emergency landing at Leeuwarden Air Base after the plane suffered “considerable damage,” according to a report from Dutch state media. At least one round ripped through the jet’s exterior, the report said, while munition fragments were also found in the aircraft’s engine."**
