    I'm also a WA resident, sorry to hear about your situation man.  I've heard there are definitely state resources for people whose employment is affected by this virus.  Employment Security Department:

    Best of luck.

    Holy fuck now *that* is criminal. Paid sick leave is the only one that seems even mildly acceptable in that list. What the fuck is up with L&I?

    That's incitement to violence and justiciable. I reported your post to the mods who will decide if they will forward the case to your local authorities.

    flol

    i was being sarcastic :whistling:and local authorities, if they actually cared, are too busy going through the +60,000,000 twitter and reddit pages of people advocating for far worse.

    If you guys feel helpless, folding@home has simulated protein folding for covid-19 availble to help find treatments and cures. It uses your GPU to simulate protein folding, drug design and molecular stuff I don't understand. I never did folding before but apparently they have had big success with Alzheimer treatments stemming from the results, and about 8 papers published on other aspects related to health.

    https://foldingathome.org/

    You can even make teams to tackle it in groups (watmm group, anyone?)

     

     

    Also here are some really good strategies on what you can do in the meantime to avoid getting sick as best as possible and being a good person: https://web.archive.org/web/20200315151539/https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/dispatch-3-dr-shlain-reporting-from-front-lines-shlain-m-d-

    Glad I don't have to worry about hand sanitizer, I already have a liter and a half of reagent grade alcohol for making record cleaning fluid and cleaning tape heads and PCBs, so I just ordered some glycerine yesterday and will pick up hydrogen peroxide and distilled water on my last grocery run this afternoon, and I should be able to make about 3 months worth of WHO hand sanitizer by this Thursday and still have plenty of ingredients left over.

     

    After that it's full bunker mode unless my parents have an emergency I can help them with.  2+ weeks of intense music making, video games and beans aren't the worst prospect to be honest.

    Same here.

    Alternatively you can go to the financial district in your city and smear your boogers on the door handles of all of the expensive cars you see.

    fuck is wrong with you mate?

    What your government, my government and the US government are doing is paramount to mass murder to protect the profits of the rich and keep the economy going. The mega-rich have fled already and the rich that stay behind have utter contempt for us. If the covid-19 can re-infect us again in a few months, all of this "herd immunity" will have been for nothing and the amount of deaths that will follow will be greater than all the lives lost in the Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, the Vietnam War, both Iraq wars and Afghanistan combined. All so that the financial numbers don't go down and fuck the poor.

    What the fuck good is going to the hospital going to do? There’s no cure. Rest, hydrate, flu medicine and no wanking. 

    If he is young, he has a good chance of getting on a respirator if he stops breathing.

    Well I'm definitely ill for the first time in 15 years, going home from work in half an hour and staying home to see what happens . I barely feel ill, just my lungs feel stuffed up as fuck. Guy in work just spent 3 days bedridden with the symptoms after doing a shift on Thursday, my lungs started itching on Friday . No fever, no cough so we'll see. My immune system is militarised anyway but I'm not sure what the deal with testing is in Scotland 

     

    I also set a buy order of 2000 quid for a 3x inverse ETF tommorow morning, so even if the world burns il have enough cash to enjoy it. 

    ? rest up and keep checking for a fever. If you have that and shortness of breath, hospital asap.

    Yes, if you want to get tested on the Corona virus, you could take a flight to China or South Korea! Test guaranteed! And flights are cheap!!

    /sarcasm

    That sounds like a great idea. How about I come visit both of you instead?

    Good news: Work has let me have six weeks paid vacation starting mid-April because all my rantings and ravings caused management to think I'm paranoid to the point of bordering psychosis :V

    I work in a "critical care" situation where there is now next to no staffing and work doesn't have a covid policy. I'm worried that I'm going to be working 24 hour shifts. Like, I'd walk off and go on EI normally but now seeing everyone around me getting laid off and the recession-proof nature of where I work now I feel like its going to be going that way.

    Anyway if I get a fever I'll write a quick eulogy here then get on with drowning to death in mucous.

    Welp, people are panic buying here like nuts. 

    Lots of the large grocery stores (including Walmart) are sold out, shelves empty. 

    Some looting starting (that's not very Canadian-like wtf?). 

     

    Guys I wanted to make homemade burritos tonight this sucks.

    I went in to Superstore here and holy fuck I was frightened. The line ups were going half way into all the aisles and everyone was panic buying toilet paper and medicine. I got n95 masks for work but the normal medical ones are gone nearly everywhere.

    Also this guy, who has a lengthy criminal record, has been doing this:

    I'll bring some good news into the thread: It looks like Japan and Germany has discovered a drug that binds to the ACE2 receptor in your lungs to prevent drowning in your own sputum. https://www.forbes.com/sites/victoriaforster/2020/03/03/there-is-a-drug-already-used-in-japan-which-may-treat-covid-19-says-new-study/#e0d162341270

     

    I think this is a more realistic treatment option than a fantasy vaccine.
