I'm pretty thoroughly exhausted. Still trying to put my routines back together after getting my ass out of the UK on March 16th, which was, by my rough approximation, 3 years ago. Took a 3-day weekend from the PhD work, which means that I worked on 3 fewer days than normal. (Normal = 5 full days, pl...

Tony earned a full scholarship to Regis High School, a Jesuit school in Manhattan.

I might be a few minutes late, but I should be able to make that time.

I would say: Mandatory Read The Atlantic : How the Pandemic Will End The U.S. may end up with the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the industrialized world. This is how it’s going to play out. I know Ed Yong a little bit from my blogging days. He's a superb writer - absolutely superb - and knows the scie...

I'm sure that this is a dumb question and you guys will tell my why. Why not use the self-inflating bags that they carry on ambulances to use on people that paramedics they intubate when they run out of respirators? It would take a lot of manpower, but they could make a lot of them very fast and yo...

Good source for information about chloroquine. https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/trump-hyped-chloroquine-cure-covid-19-man-arizona-took-died/ BTW, I, for myself, got my usual medications for 3 months about 3 weeks ago. No chloroquine for me. I don't visit jails. Still want to know what other medi...

Nor here. Sorry, not sorry. We hammered the idea hard; I fail to see where we personally insulted the guy who posted it. The idea of stocking up on medication you may or may not need, when there are people to whom it is now medically necessary and who would suffer from a shortage of it, needs to be...

commute. Guessing Birx and Fauci never spent much time in the NYC area.

Fauci is from NYC.

Oh, and the whole "shitting on each other" thing - the idea I responded to is advocating for shitting on a lot of people, including many who can't stand up for themselves. And not shitting on them with words online - shitting on them for real by causing them real and unnecessary medical harm through...

I do my best to keep calm and reasonable, even in the face of unreasonableness. Always have, and when I haven't I try to own it and apologize. I hope I've established a track record on that. When someone advocates something this utterly and toxically and harmfully selfish, those limits are exceeded....

Instead of insulting me you would better do a little research. Just one link, Google will provide you with many more. https://www.wsj.com/articles/these-drugs-are-helping-our-coronavirus-patients-11584899438 And maybe Murdoch Press opinion pieces are worth less than toilet paper. I guess someone bo...

No, he is dead on, and you should be ashamed of yourself. The point is, it is hideously irresponsible and damnably selfish to ask for those drugs so you'll " have them if and when you get sick ." Those drugs are in limited supply, and there are people (one of whom cited by SugarMagnolia, above) who...

To avoid death ask your doctor for a pneumococcus vaccination. Get a prescription for hydroxychloroquine sulfate and azithromycine to have them if and when you get sick. Do fucking not do this under any fucking circumstances. It is absolutely fucking stupid, irresponsible advice. It is the kind of ...

Tonight's press conference is a shitshow, even by current standards. Barr is there. Fauci isn't. Trump is signaling that restrictions will be lifted in "weeks, not months" because "our country was meant to be open." Apparently we're not going to try to find a way around the economic issues (Panda's ...

Now Mrs. V. is doing a jigsaw puzzle of Van Gogh's The Starry Night . It is quite challenging especially as the cats are helping. ;) My daughter has been learning Tilt Brush, which is a tool Google developed that lets people do art in virtual reality. She reinterpreted Starry Night as one of her ea...

Folks, this #CoronavirusOutbreak is no joke. I’ll give you occasional updates, tweeting from “Above the Hospital Bed,” about how serious #COVID19 aka #coronavirus can be. Think of this as #LatsCovid19Journal, my thoughts on #LivingWithCovid. [Thread] His mother says he's now in critical condition, ...

Do you know how many American flu deaths have happened so far this season? 14,000 (by the lowest report, it usually averages 30,000 but the season isn't over, etc) Globally(so far), the death toll from Covid-19 is less than that (about 10,000) With 250,000 confirmed cases, or so. Do the math. (Go a...

Danraft can you share with us your reasons for this rather rosy predictions? “Rosy Predictions”? I don’t see those as rosy at all. What I see is an atrocious situation where global standards for pandemic preparedness have been dutifully discussed and seriously researched— then treated as if this “h...

I don't know if it will help, but I did this as a thing that folks can show the "it's just the flu" dumbfucks.

The months later thing worked so well that it's become a bit of a tradition on my mother's side of the family. We did the same thing for both her parents. A small ceremony for whoever can easily get there at the normal time, and burial of the ashes months later, with a family reunion of sorts built ...

The governor of Minnesota announced late this afternoon that all restaurants will have to close their seating areas starting tomorrow. That was the tipping point for my cousin's family. My dear aunt's funeral, scheduled for Saturday, has been canceled. My cousin called to say that they had discusse...

https://news.trust.org/item/20200314135010-a6ijh/ PARIS, March 14 (Reuters) - France's health minister on Saturday said people should not use anti-inflammatory drugs if they have coronavirus-like symptoms because it could worsen their condition. "Taking anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, cortisone...

Fauci is now featured on every Trump Covid-19 Shitshow. He seems to be loving the exposure. He's starting to give Trump blow jobs, too. Perhaps someone should give him Rick Wilson's admonition. I don't trust cheerleaders, even those whose prior track record was trustworthy. Given his Congressional ...
