i think we have different definitions for outdoorsy. i meant outdoor recreation in public lands. once you get away from the looky-loo short distance waterfall hikes, there is nobody. everyone hides inside with their a/c in athens, so that's been my georgia experience. i visited a friend in gainesville before the lockdowns, and i was shocked by how many people were outside embracing the heat, and i was reminded what a normal college town should be like.

this is interesting. american media is saying covid toes not likely covid, because antigen tests are negative, and then this spanish paper comes out the same day: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/spanish-researchers-isolate-coronavirus-in-covid-toes/1890247 Spanish researchers isolate coronavirus in 'COVID toes' Scientists detect virus on swollen toes of pediatric patients who tested negative for disease "In this study, all seven patients, aged 11-17, whose skin was analyzed, tested negative for COVID-19 in a PCR test. The researchers later detected viral particles within the inner layer of the blood vessels found in their skin samples." My toe is still pink 3 months later...not normal.

Like the line is hours long. Testing is open until 7 but if you aren't in line by 3pm you're sent home. Heard from multiple people they waited for over an hour and gave up and have been trying to get tested for days secured a roadtrip out for 2 weeks. i hope borders don't close before next weekend.

The mechanism is especially well-studied in another virus called vaccinia, she notes, where research has suggested it plays a role in “superspreading” the virus from one cell to others." https://www.wired.com/story/old-dru...wKfcvk7OoiAZgp8

PerniciousKnid posted:I need a whole season of Cells At Work to explain this to me. TLDR: IP10 is normally a transient chemical signal that tells T cells to get to work. With covid, the IP10 signal doesn't turn off, and the T cells burn themselves out and die, and deplete an arm of adaptive (learned) immunity which is bad for the whole immune response. Suppressing a cytokine storm by blocking IL-6 doesn't work with covid, because it also dampens the normal immune response. Children are pumping out new T cells from their still active thymus, so that might be a resistance trait for them. Since the covid immune response is tangled web of contradictions, maybe targeting the virus itself with antiviral medication might be the way to go.

TheLemonOfIchabod posted:I think you’re right regarding the demand/perception, but did that article you posted not suggest at least the possibility that longer term immunodeficiencies develop from this? i read the article as it was only a short term depletion while the body was still fighting the virus. once it's cleared, i'd hope the immune response would return to baseline. HIV is fun, because it's like a microcosm of evolution where the virus mutates in the host to exploit CD4+ T cells later and that's when AIDS happens.

SpaceCadetBob posted:This is actually really well done. the one i see a lot are people doing physical activity, and it's harder to breathe. that's because ventilation volume can increase up to 20 times during intense exercise and a mask does restrict some of that greatly increased air flow. your heart rate will go up and it might feel harder to breathe, but you can still function (normal SPO2), and it will even strengthen your respiratory system. however, most chuds bitching about masks aren't doing anything to require that much ventilation.
