LjL | Docscr, i think based on the very confusingly conflicting trials and statements and whatnot, no, it's not obvious | 02:43 |
LjL | the article i linked to earlier is relevant https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4457.short | 02:44 |
LjL | if there is no evidence that it works for very ill patients, you don't just start giving it to less ill patients because "intuitively" it may work better on them | 02:44 |
LjL | there has to be a semblance of a trial showing evidence of something. maybe not the best trial in the world, but something | 02:45 |
Docscr | when the symtoms you look at are from overshooting reactions of your immune system to a very heavy load of pathogen, then to me it seems more than just "intuition" that you cannot cure the symtoms with a medication that simply stops the pathogen from multip[lying since that already happened when those heavy symtoms kick in | 02:49 |
Brainstorm | Updates for US: +194263 cases (now 12.1 million), +2048 deaths (now 258302) since 21 hours ago | 02:51 |
Docscr | the point is not "less ill" but "more early" | 02:51 |
Docscr | the former _may_ but doesn't have to mean the former | 02:52 |
Docscr | the former _may_ but doesn't have to mean the latter | 02:52 |
LjL | well, i'm confused about what each trial did at this point | 02:53 |
LjL | but i'm just saying: if trials were "wrong" by targeting more ill / more late patients | 02:53 |
Docscr | ideally and with best effect you start antiviral treatmenmt before any symtoms kick in | 02:53 |
LjL | that doesn't make it right to give the drug to earlier-stage patients without a trial about that | 02:53 |
Docscr | yes absolutely, needs to be tested | 02:54 |
LjL | anyway, at this point i'm just highly skeptical of remdesivir | 02:54 |
Docscr | when it doesn't work late doesn't mean it must work in early stage. Might be a placebo as well | 02:55 |
LjL | basically the company that makes it is arguing against the WHO trial that finds no effect, and in favor of its own sponsored trials | 02:55 |
LjL | when a short course of this thing costs $3000 or so, i am like... uhm | 02:55 |
Docscr | to me it seems like no decent tests been done at all so far, by either side | 02:55 |
LjL | so it's been almost a year, and one of the very first drugs that have been used for this disease has had *no decent tests* | 02:56 |
LjL | are our world's scientists really *that* incompetent | 02:56 |

gigasu_shida | i believe the spike we're seeing is mostly due to cooler weather setting in | 04:40 |

gigasu_shida | yeah that's true | 04:40 |

gigasu_shida | yeah | 04:45 |
LjL | i'm not a fan of curfew, they may work depending on the hour, or make things worse | 04:50 |
LjL | with "late" curfews like we had initially at 23 | 04:50 |
tinwhiskers | yeah, they make people stay over the whole night | 04:50 |

LjL | gigasu_shida, tinwhiskers: lol yeah, the regex doesn't actually tell me what is being matched so it's a hunt when this happens | 22:53 |
LjL | although i thought PLOS ONE was medical but i've added so many journals i previously knew nothing about, that i may very well be confused | 22:53 |
LjL | uh well that's nice, i've NO idea. i ctrl+f'd almost every single word in my regex and they didn't match | 22:56 |
LjL | ryouma, what are you quoting from about Japan? i'm not finding this statement on the web | 22:59 |
gigasu_shida | hehehe | 22:59 |
LjL | i have a non-Japanese friend in Tokyo and it would be kind of important to know if the virus is everywhere but just doesn't make Japanese people sick due to some genetics... | 22:59 |
LjL | given that antibody study were reliable, the study i would run immediately after, if it were up to me, would be to see if there's a difference in fatality between native Japanese and immigrants | 23:00 |
ryouma | some reddit thing about some genetics asians less susceptible thing 20ky ago asians adapted to similar virus or such | 23:03 |
ryouma | there was a study in scrollback too | 23:03 |

LjL | (probably) | 23:07 |
tinwhiskers | mmm | 23:07 |
tinwhiskers | well, they were claiming things like 50% in New York ages ago, which turned out to be complete nonsense, so I wouldn't rule anything out, but yeah, it may well be higher there. | 23:08 |
LjL | 50%? i remember it being implausibly high but 50% is just ridiculous | 23:09 |
LjL | there should be, like, a way to search the internet | 23:09 |
tinwhiskers | lol. I may be remembering it worse than it was :-) | 23:10 |
ryouma | i have a few minutes max to decide whethyer to go to an oral surgeon on monday to get 4 teeth extracted. dentist who did nothing 2w ago or so referred me. that dentist had better precautions than most. however, when called, oral surgeojn office soudnsed bad. very busy office patients in and out knows nothing about ventilation, no special precautions for covid other than wiping down, etc. covid curve in az is ri | 23:10 |
ryouma | sing rapidly could get much much worse. but already bad, office looks bad. if ONE tooth gets infected i can supposedly get it extracted at dentist with better than usual precautions. but he did not have the skills to extract 4 at a time (my request was to not hafve multipke trips beacuse of health issues). leaning toward cancelling but i am not fully awake. if cancel can maybe reschedule. the extra time will | 23:10 |
ryouma | allow me to recover from going to prev dentist but will allow covid to rise even higher, and we don't know for sure when appt will be, hough they fit us in quickly this time perhaps due to the referral. | 23:10 |
LjL | and i may remember it better i.e. renormalized back to something that at least makes sense | 23:10 |
tinwhiskers | I have this suspicion we're seeing some sort of cross-antibody response showing up, which can happen with ELISA tests and whatnot. Cowpox, smallpox being the best example. | 23:10 |
LjL | ryouma, i doubt you will find many dentists who will extract FOUR teeth in one session and also not screw it up completely | 23:11 |
tinwhiskers | such a thing might also explain some of the pre-chinese SARS-Cov2 observations | 23:11 |
tinwhiskers | not that I want to gopen that can of worms again. | 23:12 |
LjL | ryouma, also have you skipped right past root canals and fillings, direct to extraction? | 23:12 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, go to page 4 of the study (iirc) and look at how many different PCRs targeted to different parts of the genome they ran :P | 23:12 |
ryouma | dentist said fillings would not last, cavities near or at root, surprised i am not having reallyb ad issues now. i was out of it due to orthostatic intolerance and being jostled during transportation there. but root canals idr. in the usa there is a specialty called oral surgeon which is more training than dentist but not doctor training. | 23:13 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, also i will remind you that in the final study (as opposed to the preprint) they sequenced the Spike protein as well as ORF1ab, and found some samples of it 100% identical to the ones in the first 2 cases in italy | 23:13 |
LjL | (which were a Chinese couple) | 23:13 |
LjL | first known cases, anyway | 23:13 |
ryouma | entire mouth a mess according to dentist | 23:13 |
tinwhiskers | the fragments they tested were all a 100% match, yes. | 23:14 |
LjL | ryouma, if a cavity is near the root that generally means a root canal is recommended. extraction is very much a last resort at least around here | 23:14 |
tinwhiskers | which is of course different from a 100% matching sequence. | 23:14 |
tinwhiskers | but may well mean it is a 100% match | 23:15 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, yes, the fragments however include the full spike protein, so considering that's what we're targeting (many) vaccines against, that's kind of significant | 23:15 |
tinwhiskers | yeah | 23:15 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, also honestly when we have the full ORF1ab and the full S protein, i don't understand why it can't be placed on the phylogenetic tree. i could simply guess that it's a NextStrain rule to only host full genome, and there's no other actual reason | 23:16 |
ryouma | idk if root canal is an option or a good idea. the extradctions are going to affect chewing. but that dentist and prev dentist (who had previously said nothing about how bad the teeth were) seem to be saying i am likely looking at dentures. | 23:16 |
tinwhiskers | perhaps | 23:16 |
Jigsy | %cases world | 23:16 |
Brainstorm | Jigsy: In World, there have been 58.0 million confirmed cases (0.8% of the population) and 1.4 million deaths (2.4% of cases) as of 12 minutes ago. 944.5 million tests were performed (6.1% positive). Fatality can be broadly expected to lie between 0.3% (assuming prevalence as in tests) and less than 3.4% (considering only deaths and recoveries). See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=World for time series data. | 23:16 |
Jigsy | Nearly 60 million... | 23:16 |
LjL | ryouma, how many missing teeth do you already have | 23:16 |
ryouma | idk when curve would go down in usa. idk if lockdowns could prevent this kind of urgent treatment. or even emergency treatment. | 23:16 |
ryouma | dunno maybe 4-6 molars | 23:17 |
Brainstorm | New from Medical Xpress: Daily COVID-19 deaths in US reach highest level since May: The surging coronavirus is taking an increasingly dire toll across the U.S. just as a vaccine appears close at hand, with the country now averaging over 1,300 COVID-19 deaths per day—the highest level since the calamitous spring in and around New York City. → https://is.gd/WTUFyM | 23:17 |
LjL | ryouma, i can't say things based on parameters i don't know, however, based on what you did say, i *personally* would cancel | 23:18 |
ryouma | (i was rather upset that after all those antibiotics, the prev dentist's partner extracte da tooth that maybe did not need to be extracted) | 23:18 |
LjL | personally meaning it may not be the best choice for you or match your goals | 23:18 |
ryouma | on the basis of? | 23:18 |
LjL | it's what i would do if it were me | 23:18 |
LjL | ryouma, you kept saying bad things about his office and his practices | 23:18 |
tinwhiskers | I'm surprised we haven't heard more from China PR about the virus starting somewhere prior to being found in Wuhan. | 23:18 |
LjL | ryouma, extracting 4 teeth in *one session* alone seems like a dodgy practice to me | 23:18 |
LjL | ryouma, i know it's preferred for your situation, but it's still dangerous | 23:18 |
tinwhiskers | I mean, other than the silly, "it started in the US" taunts. | 23:19 |
LjL | ryouma, and if you have the money to spend for inlays, you can probably have good enough teeth for chewing after a root canal. that would involve multiple sessions, too, though. | 23:19 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, oh i think i've seen chinese articles mentioning how italy &co found earlier evidence | 23:20 |
tinwhiskers | It'd be unlike them to take a moral high-ground. | 23:20 |
tinwhiskers | oh. ok | 23:20 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, but also much of what China publishes is published in Chinese only, and that's a bit of a barrier to seeping into here | 23:20 |
tinwhiskers | maybe that's it | 23:20 |
ryouma | what a time to kill the buffer by accident... | 23:20 |
LjL | ryouma, should i paste back what i typed? | 23:20 |
ryouma | sure | 23:21 |
LjL | <LjL> ryouma, extracting 4 teeth in *one session* alone seems like a dodgy practice to me | 23:21 |
LjL | <LjL> ryouma, i know it's preferred for your situation, but it's still dangerous | 23:21 |
LjL | <LjL> ryouma, and if you have the money to spend for inlays, you can probably have good enough teeth for chewing after a root canal. that would involve multiple sessions, too, though. | 23:21 |
ryouma | all we know about precautions at oral surgeon is receptionist. dentist with (let | 23:21 |
ryouma | 's say) good precautions said oral surgeon would have same precautions. seems a contradiction. | 23:21 |
LjL | also <LjL> ryouma, you kept saying bad things about his office and his practices | 23:21 |
ryouma | also said i would be in and out quickly for 4 extractions. i think in usa it is not uncommon to have multiple teeth extracted. but i havef hyperalgesia nd if ther eis higher risk of complications that is an issue. idk what dentist would have told me if i had not told hium i had issues with being transported and orthostatic intolerance. | 23:22 |
Brainstorm | Updates for Kentucky, US: +3816 cases (now 152206), +20 deaths (now 1762) since 23 hours ago — US: +204570 cases (now 12.2 million), +1939 deaths (now 259910) since 23 hours ago | 23:23 |
ryouma | so it's perhaps the word of the dentist saying same precautions agains the receptionist who didn't seem aware of any precations. | 23:23 |
tinwhiskers | https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3110576/coronavirus-italian-paper-origins-pandemic-hit-backlash | 23:23 |
LjL | ryouma, in the USA it's also common to put the patient asleep. can you tolerate that? | 23:23 |
tinwhiskers | https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3110731/coronavirus-china-not-origin-disease-top-scientist-says | 23:23 |
rpifan | what you mean? | 23:24 |
rpifan | uh south china post? | 23:24 |
rpifan | we should believe them? | 23:24 |
LjL | ryouma, can't you tell the receptionist to have the actual dentist (or oral surgeon) call you back and give you more detailed information, given it's a complex situation? | 23:24 |
tinwhiskers | Yeah... The point was the narrative *from china* | 23:24 |
LjL | i consider SCMP semi-reputable, for that matter | 23:24 |
tinwhiskers | also that | 23:24 |
LjL | it's a Hong Kong paper, so it will probably go down the toilet soon, but for now... | 23:25 |
tinwhiskers | true :-) | 23:25 |
LjL | and aside from the headline (but which paper doesn't have trash headlines?), the "Coronavirus: China not the origin of the disease, top scientist says" makes sure to mention in the article text that the actual study authors deny that this changes the origin | 23:26 |
LjL | i also owe it to SCMP that it was one of the earlier papers providing a detailed tracker of cases and other related info (back when it was mostly in China) before other trackers existed beyond "n number of cases at place p" | 23:28 |

tinwhiskers | That was back in June | 23:28 |
tinwhiskers | Oh. July | 23:29 |
LjL | well, for starters | 23:29 |
LjL | "Italy is working to establish a national network of sewage testing for COVID-19" ← if we are, then it's clearly taking a very long time | 23:29 |

LjL | i think i read that one | 23:30 |
LjL | globaltimes definitely rings a bell on being one of the "not us!" papers | 23:30 |
tinwhiskers | OK. I'm done. They have been reporting it anyway. | 23:30 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, btw if you forget to type %title you can also just type %title on its own and it should grab the previous line | 23:31 |
tinwhiskers | I wonder why it isn't doing the rounds more with the "nutters". | 23:31 |
tinwhiskers | LjL: ah. ok | 23:31 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, because the nutters hate China :P | 23:31 |
tinwhiskers | Maybe I've just stopped listening to the nutters enough now :-p | 23:31 |
LjL | and, god, i hate simplified chinese characters | 23:31 |
LjL | so ugly | 23:31 |
tinwhiskers | oh. right | 23:31 |
LjL | (i just noticed an ugly one in the picture on that article) | 23:32 |
LjL | (and another) | 23:32 |
ryouma | nothing was said about anaethesia. my guess would be no anaesthesia for 4 teeth. (but for the rest of my teeth (later, for dentures) maybe anaesthesia which yes, i would have to study that to find out what i ssafe) | 23:33 |
ryouma | we were told by receptionist that pulling 4 teeth was not more painful afterward than pulling 1 tooth except that it is a larger area of mouth | 23:34 |
LjL | "China's monitoring system and techniques enabled medical workers to find and track COVID-19 in the early stage of transmission in Wuhan, Zhou said. "But that doesn't necessarily mean that Wuhan was the birth place of the virus," he said." ← haha sure they found it there because they're GOOD at finding them! | 23:34 |
ryouma | it is molars, upper and lower | 23:34 |
LjL | ryouma, i think full anaesthesia is rarely employed, but they use various types of more or less deep sedation, starting with nitrous oxide | 23:35 |
LjL | (which they are now *starting* to use in Italy too) | 23:35 |
LjL | ryouma, it may not be more painful but you'll be on a completely liquid diet since you have basically no areas of the mouth you can chew with, and if infection develops you have four sites to handle at a time | 23:36 |
tinwhiskers | I was just given locals for the tooth I had pulled. | 23:36 |
ryouma | i can chew with front teeth | 23:36 |
ryouma | but yes it will be hell on gi to be eating cottage cheese only | 23:36 |
LjL | ryouma, you said you could probably reschedule if you don't do it now. i say that you don't have enough information and the practice seems dodgy enough that based on what you say, i mean, i'm not deciding for you, you just don't *sound* like you're a fan of this option | 23:37 |
Brainstorm | Updates for US: +208916 cases (now 12.2 million), +1975 deaths (now 259946) since 23 hours ago | 23:37 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, yes but the US makes much more liberal use of nitrous oxide and other types of sedation during dentistry work than most other countries do | 23:37 |
tinwhiskers | ah. ok | 23:37 |
LjL | tinwhiskers, to be fair i wouldn't have minded some additional painkilling when they pulled my wisdom teeth. it was pretty painful | 23:38 |
tinwhiskers | I'm thankful I don't get nitrous or I'm liable to make an idiot of myself | 23:38 |
LjL | in fact i still have one because i was just like "not another time" | 23:38 |
LjL | although the wisdom teeth were not fully erupted which i understand makes it worse | 23:39 |
LjL | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_sedation_dentistry | 23:39 |
LjL | (assume the article is written from a US perspective since it doesn't mention country differences) | 23:39 |
ryouma | i have never had pain during extraction. only after and had varying levels from basicallyy none to soemthing that required a spcial thing that i have dodgy ccess to. | 23:39 |
de-facto | Hey LjL feeling better today? | 23:39 |
LjL | yeah thanks de-facto i'm okay today | 23:39 |
de-facto | oh how nice, very glad to hear that :)) | 23:40 |
tinwhiskers | nice | 23:40 |
LjL | it was probably just from sweating and catching cold when i went to fetch that ridiculously large and heavy package the other day | 23:40 |
LjL | (it's a tape deck, though no one asked) | 23:40 |
tinwhiskers | heh. cool | 23:40 |
de-facto | hehe neat from 1984? :) | 23:40 |
LjL | de-facto, well we *bought* that set in 1984 but the model is from 1981 or 1982 :P | 23:40 |
de-facto | nice that kind of tech really survives decades still | 23:41 |
tinwhiskers | I dread to think what I've said and done while I'm under sedation. | 23:42 |
ryouma | leaning toward cancelling because receptionist comments on covid were not clearly in direction of them havint mugh precautions. weird that the dentist (who i would other wise trust-ish) said they did. but also thinking i might be insane given covid curve. bit yes i akm reassured by possibility (only a possibility) of rescheduling. not clear if i will come up with more information soon and am completely bad ad | 23:42 |
ryouma | decision making due to execuytive dysfunciton. | 23:42 |

ryouma | what i will say under sedation is not a concern for me as i am deleting it as a consideration. even if i say horrible things. alli care about is health including pain. that makes my decision less complex. | 23:43 |
ryouma | but if they do use anything other than carbocaine (epi-free local anaesthesia) then i need to know about it and plan in advacnce | 23:43 |
ryouma | for health reasons | 23:43 |
de-facto | i wonder if we will see another all time record high in daily new cases tomorrow in Germany | 23:44 |
de-facto | todays +23648 are already pretty high and usually it still raises for Fridays and Saturdays | 23:45 |
de-facto | like reporting the previous day ofc | 23:45 |
ryouma | as it is 24h in business time i am going to ask to have asked 1) can oral surgeon consult on covid precautions and whether any type of anaesthesia), and 2) can dentist clarify about oral surgeon covid precautions. but it is too late probably for cancellation; need to cancel anyway. | 23:45 |
de-facto | i think the "Lockdown light" is not working properly as i predicted its not enough | 23:45 |
de-facto | we still need LOT more contact rate reduction, so i hope they will go for the real thing on next week or such | 23:46 |
de-facto | i am not so optimistic as some others because i try to separate observations from hope | 23:47 |
LjL | de-facto, https://pic.infini.fr/yGJvnbrP/nGAlK5Nd.jpg | 23:48 |

LjL | i was planning to buy some more decent tapes after i bought a supposedly nice yamaha deck (this Pioneer one is just cool to look at and i got it because it's the one i had as a kid that later broke, but it's nothing special quality-wise), but then the supposedly nice deck is actually performing badly, and i wanted to take it to a repair shop but then i stalled and now there's a lockdown, so... i gave up on buying the tapes as well | 23:52 |

LjL | but also, i'd have probably bought normal tapes anyway, because tapeline's chrome tapes (tapeline.info) are rumored to sometimes(?) have a defect that makes them "harsh" and grind tape heads, which, eeeek | 23:54 |
Skunny | they were kind of flat sounding | 23:54 |
LjL | and i wouldn't know where to buy new tapes aside from tapeline, unless i buy new-old tapes for ridiculous prices on ebay | 23:55 |
Skunny | check out what I bought last week one sec | 23:55 |
LjL | Skunny, which ones were kind of flat sounding? | 23:55 |

Skunny | the chrome and metal | 23:55 |
ryouma | the other thing is i believe thanksgiving wll be a superspreader event, and the dentist is now closed for the next week so i can't ask him why he said oral surgeon precautions were as good as his. hmm, but oral surgeon can answer that if i can talk to him i suppose. so the risk is getting an apointment any time after monday could run into after thanksgiving, perfect for asymptomatic transmission after the superspr | 23:55 |
ryouma | eader evcent. | 23:55 |
