So there were two bullshit papers that recently came out arguing that the coronavirus affects hemoglobin in some way. Hot garbage science. Immediately on a bunch of the physician COVID-19 related groups, a lot of people started speculating that maybe African Americans were getting sick more frequently and more…

Yea I totally agree with you. When I was a college student we didn’t have discounted software offered through the university, so I could do that bullshit rationalizing thing about how I wouldn’t buy the software if I weren’t stealing it, but in retrospect that was a dick thing to do. Once I got an adult job, I just…

I used to do mostly pirated Office software, but over time the hassle wasn’t worth it, and honestly the software kept getting better and better, so I decided to pay for it. We get the family plan which is nice, because now I have it installed on my computer, the spousal computer, and we set it up for both sets of…

Is that a subtype of druid or ranger?

Yes, absolutely this! They go to great length to avoid following U.S. regulations and paying their share of taxes, so it’s only fair that the financial bailout prioritizes those companies that are actually based in the U.S., employ U.S. workers, and follow the same regulations.

Master Raptor Bander is an awesome title

Unfortunately we don’t treat internet access as a public utility, and we really should, if only to ensure that people don’t miss out on education or work opportunities because of poor access. I’m trying to do telemedicine visits for some of my patients to avoid exposing them to infection risk while still maintaining…

That investment in convalescent plasma from young people is about to pay off big time!

That’s some bullshit. The hydroxychloroquine use with “battling lyme disease” is basically a red flag for both her and her physician. But setting that aside, the symptom improvement that she reported with the hydroxychloroquine just physiologically can’t happen. There are no antivirals that work that quickly, and none…

If only we could be so lucky here in the U.S. 

A good solution would be not to provide PPE or medical care to the idiots who vote Republican. It’s all fake news anyway.

The testing issue is entirely on this administration. The CDC made their own tests instead of using the WHO ones that every other country has been using successfully. South Korea is probably the best comparison - on a per capita basis their testing ramped up much much faster and they were able to do proper case…

I absolutely agree with you - we had to look up what the guidelines were and it wasn’t easy to find. Some of the Etsy sellers seem to actually have info on why they’re making the masks a certain way. These aren’t really meant to prevent viral spread - it’s more to reduce the amount of respiratory crap that an infected…

I’m less worried about him canceling the election than I’m worried about Republican governors and legislatures canceling the election only for people who typically vote for Democrats. We’re going to see a lot of closing of polling locations in the name of public health, mainly in large cities, while resisting the call…

I’m a white guy and certainly not in any way PC police, but it’s crazy how many people are commenting on here about people not being able to take a joke. The white people equivalent of this would be someone who lives in Sandy Hook posting an equivalent picture with someone polishing a gun joking about annoying kids…

There are plenty of people who need to get to work to do essential jobs who don’t have cars if they live in big cities or nearby burbs. Healthcare workers, grocery workers, the people who keep your electricity and water running, the people working at the gas station that allows you to have fuel for your car, etc. If…

I’ve been following the discussions about how we’re going to ration ventilators when the time comes. I worry that a lot of systemic issues and implicit bias are going to result in minorities getting really screwed in the ventilator distribution scheme. Even if you’re just going by comorbid conditions that affect your…

I mean the CDC guidance on this is basically a step short of.”hold your breath and wave your hand in front of your face really fast”. My spouse and I are both health care workers. We spent quite a bit of time last week hand-sewing our own masks. Not for hospital wear - thankfully our hospitals haven’t run out yet. But…
