BrainstormNew from This Week In Virology: TWiV 1033: Freediving with nanobodies and interferon: TWiV notes the passing of Harald zur Hausen, dengue breaking records in the Americas, inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection and inflammation by modulation of type I IFN, and an armed nanobody that protects mice against influenza A and B disease. → https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-1033/06:09
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> LjL: what to talk about Covid-19?11:28
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Covid-19 is show.11:28
BrainstormNew from PubMed: Attitudes and perceptions toward the COVID-19 risk-mitigation strategies among racially and ethnically diverse older adults in the United States and Puerto Rico: a qualitative study: CONCLUSION: This study underscores the importance of increasing support and social connectedness during a pandemic and beyond to [... want %more?] → https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37543717/13:41
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> watcher: please read https://github.com/ljl-covid/links/blob/master/COVID-19-chat.md15:31
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> LjL: covid-19 it's not about medicine.17:09
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Was imagined a new disease to get a money profit. Nothing more.17:11
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> watcher: I have no time to waste with this sort of antics. Either keep "watching" silently, or follow the room's guidance17:11
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> > We welcome discussion of scientific and medical matters around COVID-1917:14
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> I followed the room's guidance.17:14
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> > We welcome discussion of **scientific and medical matters** around COVID-1917:14
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> I followed the room's guidance.17:14
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> watcher: you just said it has nothing to do with medicine. Now you quote a thing saying we welcome medical matters as evidence you followed it?18:12
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Seriously my time isn't very valuable but it's still not nice to waste it18:12
BrainstormNew from MedPageToday: It Shouldn't Take Another Pandemic to Invest in Digital Health: (MedPage Today) -- The public health emergency, declared in 2020 as a result of the COVID pandemic, fostered the creation of waivers and exemptions that allowed for the widespread use of digital health, including telemedicine [... want %more?] → https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/10576318:32
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Well. I'll show a science.19:03
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> UV rays (sun rays) kills viruses and bacteries. Did you know that? My mom who is pharm scientist told me that. My school biology teacher told same.19:08
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Pressure clears your lungs. Did you know that? It's biology in school else + physics. Low pressure and your lungs will be destoyed by bacteries. Unxected people without lungs can't live.19:12
ublixUnxected?19:13
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> When you lie pressure decreases. Did you know that?19:14
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> watcher: why the hell are you saying these things? there doesn't seem to be a point.19:15
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Also, bacteria*19:15
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> This is not a "random medical factoids" room either19:16
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> This is your last warning. Be sensible or you'll be silenced.19:16
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> What recommendation were to "protect" yourself against Covid-19?19:17
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> What recommendations were to "protect" yourself against Covid-19?19:18
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Isolation of infected people, distancing, masking with effective FFP2/N95 masks, hand washing, vaccination19:19
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Enforced lockdowns when it was real bad19:20
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Preferring outdoors over indoors whenever possible19:21
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> If not possible, keeping the indoor spaces aerated19:21
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Do you remember what your skin produces?19:22
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Many things19:23
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Dead skin, sweat, some CO2 I think19:23
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Hairs, sadly19:23
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Is this a quiz?19:24
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Oils also19:24
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Sebum19:24
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Fat. It maybe wrong word in Englis.19:24
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Fat is deadly for many viruses and bacteries.19:26
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Alcohol and other chemicals destroy fat. It's info from the school, chemistry.19:31
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Finally...19:31
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Amou Haji (Persian: عمو حاجى, lit. 'Uncle Hajji'; 20 August 1928 – 23 October 2022), also known as the "World's Dirtiest Man", was an Iranian man known for refusing to bathe for more than 60 years.19:32
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> UV (sun) rays + physical activity + no alcohol (chemicals) to wash hands.19:35
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Okay, you avoid COVID by not bathing for the rest of your life19:37
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> I get vaccines and stuff19:37
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> deal?19:37
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> (and yes, sebum is fat)19:37
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Okay, sebum. I did not know about this word.19:38
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> Thank you.19:38
Brainstorm(Matrix) <watcher> I have not seen evidences that new disease exists.19:40
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Okay, enough19:41
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> I think it was clear from the document I saw that outright COVID denial is not okay19:41
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> (Besides, why would I be careful to get UV, not remove my sebum, etc etc, if COVID doesn't even *exist*?)19:42
Brainstorm(Matrix) <LjL> Anyway, COVID exists, but if your opinion differs, I'm sure there are (plenty of) places where that opinion is welcome. This isn't one of them.19:42
