KenjiOgiwara Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The pharmacist had 8 bottles of antibac left. I just bought it all. She looked at me like there's something wrong with me. On another note I see the US tried a 509 billion aid package to the stock market today. Didn't quite go to plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 44 minutes ago, KentVillan said: The 2 scientists are a class act, however they are clearly getting advice from (and accepting advice from) “behavioural scientists” on the impact of different interventions, and this is where a lot of people (not just laypeople, but epidemiologists, scientists, social scientists, psychologists, etc) seem to be querying the robustness of the evidence. David Halpern will have a lot to answer for. Ultimately the only thing I can say that I know for certain is that “behavioural science” is not a science as most people understand it. And its practitioners have a long history of favouring quirky, counterintuitive approaches to problems. This has all the hallmarks of academic showboating.

A'Villan Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'm reading that leading experts, some from top 5 universities are predicting that 30%-80% of the population will contract it within the year. They are defining close contact as a 15 minute conversation with another person or sharing a room for 2 hours or more. @wilko154 If you would like a list of places visited by people who've contracted it in Australia then I can send you a link, can't see why it'd help but just thought I'd offer anyway.

NoelVilla Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Swedens government now passed on the decision to eventually close down schools to the local governments. So afraid of making an own decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 From Popbitch, could go in one of two threads: Quote Harvey Weinstein got a lucky break. 23 years in federal prison means he'll be moved out of Rikers Island: the facility from which NYC plans to source inmates to dig any mass graves required in the event of a deadly pandemic.

Walk to 15 pharmacies like I did. Secondly it's for work, so not exactly straight up personal use. Take thst moral crap elsewhere. It's to keep my field guys healthy to sanitize their equipment.

Genie Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Situations like this bring out the worst in people. Should be ashamed of yourself to buy such an excessive amount of what has become such an important commodity to people’s health. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read before replying next time, or figure out what excessive means. It was not to personal use as already stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preventing? Buying it for my colleagues? So by being smart, kind and proactive for my colleagues you get there? Sweet jesus some of you are desperate in the need to feel morally superior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'm reading a report from a leading advisor to Hong Kong and professor, and he's saying that they are developing a vaccine and testing it on mice, with no display of side-effects. He anticipates that they will have the vaccine ready for distribution in one to one and a half years. He also suggests that this is the only measure for overcoming the virus, unless the entire populace contracts it and develops natural immunity. He goes on to use phrases like "it's a matter of compliance" and I'm thinking anyone waiving a mandated injection my way is going home that day with a broken nose and an ice-pack for it. I hate to sound like an idiot in saying that but I can't see how torturing rodents is a hard science, and I wonder why I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s 15 doors you touched which are regularly touched by ill people. That 15 floors that your shoes touched that are likely to be contaminated. You then walked into your home. That’s 15 rooms full of potentially contaminated air that you breathed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
