Working From Home - Impacts of Coronavirus
paulca:
On immunity from CovId after infection. Will that stop you getting infected, forever, in all circumstances? I'd doubt it. It's not a playground shield, "But I have shield!" Nahnahnahnah!". If you have a measles vaccine are you completely immune to measles? No. If you have been infected, recovered and now show as having antibodies, then you're not immortal, and possibly not even completely immune, but you certainly have much more than the rest of us do in real terms.
The number of coronavirus infections we receive each year is very probably extremely high. Considering most of them are common colds. It's the three deadlier ones we need to watch out for now.

Following Trump and his followers I have come to the conclusion we need a solution for the majority of people, so I came up with this:
Sodium Hydroxide enema.
It will regulate your sodium levels. It will regulate your cell oxygen levels and of course it will hydrate you.
Look at it this way, you don't want low sodium, it could effect your immune system's response to the virus.
See:

Nor do you want low oxygen, it could lower your immune system and cause you to get CovId19!:

And you really, don't want to become dehydrated as it will effect your whole bodies response to pathogens.

So. Sodium Hydroxide up the bum is the best way to protect yourself.
Note:
Only works if you do it to yourself.
Does not work on children.
Does not work on those really smart people you know. Yes, them.

The Trumpster. I feel sorry for those Secret Service agents who right now are left wondering who is the greatest threat to the President?! One could also try taking polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution, aka Moviprep. Possibly the most reactive laxative in the known universe. Or just take viagra like a normal 70+ CEO.

--- Quote from: cdev on May 19, 2020, 04:13:32 pm ---PCR tests can tell how much is there by a process of progressive dilution. They describe it in terms of "titers" (as in titration). If SARS-CoV-2 RNA titers are described as high that means that the presence of the virus still registered positive through many successive dilutions (of the substance under test). However, if a test is in short supply, it stands to reason that instead of doing multiple tests to determine stength of a virus, they might simply go for a positive or negative, because determining the titer is too resource intensive for an emergency situation.

For quantitative PCR, you only need to perform titration to create a calibration curve.
Here's a good description:

I was SURPRISED the other day on TV. (Can't remember what Country...) ???
They were showing the 'Flashing' of the insides of Trains/Buses? with high intensity UltraViolet.
I 'assume' this intensity meant that no people were in them at the time?
It wasn't a continuous 'illumination', but was like a set number of very high power flashes
from a Camera Flash, but of a frequency that guarantees killing the Virus, from everywhere
inside the cabins, without the need for physical cleaning of surfaces!! Looks good, if it works.. 8)
