    There are several drugs that are being investigated right now. Chloroquine, an antimalarial drug. Favipiravir, a flu drug Remdesivir, an experimental antiviral drug not yet approved by the FDA, and unfortunately I’ve been hearing early rumors that it’s causing liver enzymes to bump up...

    This is a bit of a technical discussion, but I thought some people might find it interesting. COVID appears to bind to something called the ACE2 receptor. A virus has to bind to something to infect a cell. ACE means angiotensin converting enzyme, and is part of your bodies regulatory system...

    I kinda doubt the numbers are entirely accurate, actually I’m certain they aren’t. Look at the US, right now there are 12 serious/critical, yesterday there were 10. But we had 18 deaths. One would expect the serious and critical to be significantly greater than that. there are so many points of...

    Just completed my first interview with fellow fastlaner @Creed, interesting what he had to say. Definitely a new experience conducting an interview like that, especially over Skype where you can't see the person. I opted not to do video to keep the bandwidth and hopefully better audio quality...

    ULTIMATE MEDICAL HACKATHON: HOW FAST CAN WE DESIGN AND DEPLOY AN OPEN SOURCE VENTILATOR?

    exactly. You can’t just make a ventilator and sell it. It has to go through FDA approval and clearance. Which is time consuming and expensive. the cost to manufacture I’m sure isn’t high. the cost is related to regulation, maintenance requirements, etc. this is not something you can use at...

    If you take a fixed population, with a similar doubling time and similar infectious rate (R0), you would expect similar growth pattern within the population. the real issue though isn’t the absolute number at this point, it’s distribution. Some areas in Italy have extremely high numbers, some...

    I have no intention of ever shooting anyone. It is deterrence and last resort protection. if or when government breaks down, or if put in a threat situation, I know that police can not protect me. So, I am always prepared to protect myself. People resort to primal instincts if social normals...

    Trauma and maternity care is not considered elective. I’m expecting in towns large enough that they may designate some hospitals as CoVID hospitals and designate a few as other care for maternity and trauma care. this is because we don’t have enough protective gear, and we don’t want...

    people don’t really think of the statistics. I tell people if you came from a small high school, pick one person you want to die and 5 more to have permanent heath problems. If you came from a medium size high school, pick two people you want to die and 10 more to have permanent heath...

    Sounds good. It’s actually staring to explode. 300 downloads today which for a new (18 hour old) podcast feels insane. I have guests booked through probably Wednesday , but if you have time Thursday or Friday would love to talk to you.

    I’ve actually been looking for years for proof any supplemenut makes any difference for the average person. I’ve never found a reasonably valid study to demonstrate it does. I would love to find real valid proof something does. I would consume the shit out of it...

    Likely none. UV radiation typically kills bacteria and viruses. Want to disinfect a package from amazon put it outside for several hours, make sure to turn it over.

    look at other countries. It’s fricking obvious what will happen. It will start with a regional lock down, that rolls out in a very short period of time to a full national lockdown. I almost see the regional lockdown as a mental pretext to condition the rest of the country (or near total) to...

    yeah. I just bought multiple thousands of rounds of 9 mm for about $80 per thousand two weeks ago. we’ve been prepping. Trying to be rational and stay 1-2 weeks in front of the crush demand. 3 weeks ago bought food, 2 weeks ago bought ammo, 1 week ago bought a food freeze dryer to preserve...

    Nice. Daily carry for me is 9mm sig p938, but we have guns around the house. We are prepped, but also heavily armed, we try to anticipate for any likely contingency. We have thousand and thousand of round for multiple caliber of guns. I don’t plan to rely on anyone but ourselves.

    Lol, I had thought about it, I was worried about being robbed though. But I guess there is access risk I hadn’t really considered. Maybe at some point in time I have to create some balance. Maybe a small amount of cash at home with the majority in my deposit box.

    Politicians by nature are extroverted people, usually with almost no scientific background, so of course the really don’t comprehend what is going on here. that’s why I am very selective who I listen to. Unfortunately they have a platform, and most people aren’t that selective.

    Years ago I got safety deposit box and dropped some cash in it, basically enough to survive on minimal funds for 6-12 months. Even if the counter at the bank closes, I should have access to hard cash if I need. This is assuming I can at least access my safety deposit box, which I would assume...
