yeah i was initially thinking blood clot when I read it given the suddenness and had put maybe in there, but yeah, poo poo can also just pop off and happen at random too. a fair number of healthy youngish people do die to random brain aneurysms each year--also partly why it was a joke in Archer.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS

uncurable mlady posted:

if reinfection was trivial then wouldn’t you be seeing it in China by now? also NY? there’s always weird one-off exceptions but the risk seems pretty low

You would need a place that had widespread infections early in the pandemic, and continued widespread infections so there’s a good chance of someone infected in the first wave coming into contact with the virus in the second wave.

China is keeping it suppressed so there’s not much chance of a survivor of their initial outbreak contracting it from a subsequent outbreak.

NY would be a better candidate because it sounds like it’s still simmering away even though it isn’t as widespread as it once was.

European countries don’t seem to be getting huge numbers of new cases so the odds of a reinfection there are slim I think.

I’d be looking at healthcare or retail workers as being the most likely candidates for reinfection because they were likely to have been infected in the initial outbreak and would be in the firing line of any subsequent outbreaks. I assume the chances of discovering a reinfection will increase over time as more people’s antibodies decline.

My mom nearly married someone. Then one day she was going to visit him and he wasn't returning calls. Turns out he died abruptly of brain aneurysm. Age 26

She married my dad 2 years later, had me, if not for that aneurysm I would've never existed. 30 years later and my mom still gets pretty bad anxiety if people don't return her calls/texts because of that, so I try to promptly respond whenever she contacts me

How, exactly, do you think health insurance works for the people without infinite cash? :thunk:

Usually there is a schedule of medications that defines copay.

For the remdivisir it looks like they will charge insurance companies $590 for it. I'm not sure what copay or price for the public will be like.

But the depression medication I've taken for the past 6 years of my life costs $300 a month. And that doesn't treat a global pandemic. So if I had to cough up the cash for the remdivisir I would. As would a lot of people.

NY would be a good place to watch in the US, but it's probably waaaaay too soon unless reinfection is possible almost immediately. The bulk of New York's cases were in April, so that's barely three months.

mt. baker - snoqualmie national forest in washington is huuuuuge and allows dispersed camping pretty much anywhere. if you work for it you can get out really far away from anyone. glacier peak and the area around it is beautiful this time of year, here's a view from camp on the approach to glacier peak last year:


I was staring at this mountain earlier today trying to figure out which it was. Was looking like only 10 miles away on the map. That thing is like 100 miles from me. Realized I have no conception of mountains to work from. The south only has little baby mountains at most.

yeah, I've had the fun of dealing with the people I'm talking about.

Food passes through at least 3 people to get to them. Or they have a private chef who is quarantined with them, and raw ingredients pass through the same layers (concierge-->security--->assistant).

They aren't really any more isolated now than they usually are. The social circle for a billionaire is pretty small, and you aren't going to get turned away at a border or wherever if you matter.

My guess is there's no vaccine, or if there is, reinfection + anti vaxers will prevent herd immunity, and the virus will sweep back and forth across the planet for a couple hundred years until it evolves into a weaker strain like the 4 human coronaviruses we had before this one.

What's the process like to move to New Zealand?

Maybe I can at least maximize my lifespan there.

I remember watching videos of folks just keeling over from aneurysms (supposedly) thanks to CV19 early on in China, Iran, and a video from Japan. I was surprised to not see more of that in the states, but there aren't many places going out of there way to discover if someone has CV19 in the states - if it looks like a run of the mill aneurysm i doubt they would run a test for an average Joe. Maybe we'll get test results for him though, it would be interesting.

these videos were from lack of oxygen, not aneurysms, I thought
