When I come down with a viral, I go into full on "give my body the best fighting chance"-mode. Drug it up with the right drugs, drink tons of water to stay hydrated, get as much sleep as you can, treat the symptoms it's safe to treat, etc. Usually takes a few weeks to run the course, but usually a week to get to the return point. I think that's the point at which if I wasn't getting better in the next few days that I'd start to worry.

Identifying SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins - Nature
SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses are identified in Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica); these pangolin-associated coronaviruses belonged to two sub-lineages of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses, including one that exhibits strong similarity in the receptor-binding domain to SARS-CoV-2.

"The discovery of multiple lineages of pangolin coronavirus and their similarity to SARS-CoV-2 suggests that pangolins should be considered as possible hosts in the emergence of novel coronaviruses"

Goddam that stuff sucks.
Interesting. Idaho and Utah have said they won’t take our cases if we run out of beds, this is a first.
looks like town is completely shutting down tomorrow.
I wonder if that means cycling...

in an interesting turn of events, Idaho and Utah said they won‘t take any of our cases, we are on our own. With, like, two ventilators. Seems like there should be some hippocratic oath contingency, or something...but I can’t really blame them. Damn uppity shits from JH.

Town of Jackson prepared to shelter in place if state doesn't do it first
UPDATE: Mayor Pete Muldoon this morning said an anticipated address from the state did not happen at 9 a.m. The initial language used in this post was misleading. A “shelter in place” order would not “close borders,” as the original headline suggested. It would order that residents of the state...

Reminds me of this rather good read

Some lib nerd shit. We fucked for a while
UW model says social distancing is starting to work — but still projects 1,400 COVID-19 deaths in the state
Modeling from the UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) forecasts that hospitalizations will generally peak in mid-April, with 64,000 more patients than licensed beds nationwide.www.seattletimes.com
@Westy your thoughts on my brief take on their methods would be appreciated:Their modeling site that lets one pick the state is very useful:
IHME | COVID-19 Projections
Explore forecasts of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospital resource use.covid19.healthdata.org
WA borderline. CO should be ok as should CA. LA not so much. NY very bad.
http://www.healthdata.org/sites/default/files/files/research_articles/2020/COVID-forecasting-03252020_4.pdf
My interpretation of this: They took Wuhan as a baseline. If a given state implemented all social distancing regimes then they didn't add on any extra time from baseline to peak, as it were. If they did half measures they added on extra fractional days.
Definition of social distancing: school closures, non-essential business closures including bars and restaurants, stay-at-home. States/subregions (WA modeled as Kirkland, rest of King/Pierce, rest of state) w/all 3 get no penalty days for modeled baseline to peak wrt Wuhan.
Implement less than 3 measures, get fractional extra days from baseline to peak added. Implement none and the model assumes that they will be implemented within a week.
So at a crude level this is actually similar to my super-simplistic "match a logistic curve to Wuhan timeline" "model": https://twitter.com/maximumcharacte/status/1243253840389914624
The key assumption here is that the underhood features of the Chinese intervention that reduced R0 to less than 1 in Wuhan will be replicated in all US states that social distance.
I am not sure this will be true.
If this assumption does not hold to be true the observed peaks may be higher than their model.

Garmin has been adding pulseox sensors into their mid range watches. Used to only be on the high end ones.
Sorry stoney, but I can't shake head smiley enough
I have that too, but the sensors have worked just fine.
I just really hope they don't get it. My parents are denying it because fucking Fox and Cheeto Jesus. MIL2 because she refuses to miss her only daughter's wedding. At least MIL1 is finally listening and wants the medical-grade wipes I have and will take the n95 masks I found. She is on lock-down until probably a month out when I can drive out to CA to get her.Sorry stoney, but I can't shake head smiley enough
This should all be over by next week, apparently mango has called A-Rod for advise on how to handle the pandemic.
Truth.
take care of yourself, like others here say have a plan, and make sure people can get to you.
On that last point; I had a friend go through a critical event years ago, the last thing the 911 operator told him before he passed out was "go unlock your door, ambulance is on the way...".
