Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
There's also a picture of a fish and the words 'a new drug for treating fish disease'. Last I checked, we are currently not fish. Anyone who would consume from that bottle, I will personally mail a Darwin award to.
What do you expect? they voted for trump. trump supporters are not the brightest.
Taiwan CDC/FDA demonstrate using a rice cooker to disinfect used face masks.
The original Mandarin version also talked about using UV rays (220-280nm wavelength in dish dryer's disinfection function) to disinfect used face masks. The UV rays would be useful for the top and bottom sides of the face mask; however, surgical face masks are 3 layers (6 sides in total) so the CDC/FDA can't be certain it would be effective for the rest of the 4 sides.
I was worried that this would people leading to think they need to add water to steam the masks (which may work with N95 but probably not surgical masks as they would melt)
There was a huge controversy here early on when a politician told people to steam their masks to reuse them... As soon as people started doing that, there were pictures of melted masks floating all over social media
Turns out she was right in a way, just not the correct method.
It seems kind of risky compared to buying enough masks to be able to dispose after a use, which as we've seen here, is not impossible to do for many people. If you can afford it, that seems to be the safer route to take...
Stock market is retarded, overreact to every bit of news good and bad. Should just talk about it in that thread since it has little to do with reality...
Holy hell how is the stock market up. Do they know something that we dont.
Many people are looking for the bottom. It's a huge buying opportunity if you can hold for like 2 years lol

Medical group endorses anti-malarial drug treatment for coronavirus patients
America’s major medical society specializing in the treatment of respiratory diseases has endorsed using hydroxychloroquine for seriously ill hospitalized coronavirus patients.
The American Thoracic Society issued guidelines Monday that suggest COVID-19 patients with pneumonia get doses of the anti-malaria drug.
“To prescribe hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) to hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia if all of the following apply: a) shared decision-making is possible, b) data can be collected for interim comparisons of patients who received hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) versus those who did not, c) the illness is sufficiently severe to warrant investigational therapy, and d) the drug is not in short supply,” the Thoracic Society said.
The use of hydroxychloroquine has been hotly debated.
President Trump has promoted its use on an experimental basis and Gov. Andrew Cuomo has agreed to provide it to thousands of seriously ill patients in New York hospitals in combination with Zithromax.
Critics have criticized the promotion of using the drug based on limited or anecdotal evidence.
The Thoracic Society said its guidelines are based on input from an international task force comprised of doctors from medical centers that are currently treating COVID-19 patients.

They're going to get absolutely slammed once this is all over the borders remain open. They're part of the EU and they're going to get so many people flocking there to enjoy their UBI.
It'll be like how all the other provinces ship their homeless junkies over to Vancouver.

I believe they would have to be citizen's of Spain.
Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!

Anyone run into racist stuff here?? Some guy on my FB has claimed THREE separate incidents now where someone said racist comments to him in public... the latest being claiming that a young boy said "Eww Chinese" to him in a store.
Like 1 or 2 incidents here and there but for 1 guy to say it's the 3rd time it's happened to him? I don't want to be *that guy* but I honestly don't even believe him... super skeptical a little kid be able to even tell someone's ethnicity or think to say that. Really gotta wonder if people are just making shit up to get attention nowadays.

Probably not a huge issue in Canada, and even less so in Vancouver. If anything it's dumb kids and the homeless/mentally ill that would be prone to saying racist garbage most people would have a sense to keep to themselves.
spoiler alert: most of the violent crimes have been commited by blacks and latinos
You mean the racist violent crimes.
Oh darn, i forgot. Black and brown people can't be racist.

Maybe that's a good thing then, because unlike receiving welfare, these people can actually keep working while getting the income.
For a lot of people it's not worth getting off welfare and going to work a shit job to make an extra $100 a month. Now if they want they can work that shit job and double their income...
Henry said the deceased was a man in his 40s who died at home, and health authorities knew that he had COVID-19. His was the second community death and brings the death toll to 39.
“Unfortunately, this person did pass away at home and was a known positive case. That’s doubly tragic for us. That was a man in his 40s, so we are, of course, concerned about the effects this virus can have even on young people. We know that there’s been some young people in other parts of the country, including someone in their 20s who unfortunately died in Alberta over the last few days,” Henry said.
“Young people are not immune to this. Most of the people who have, unfortunately, died here in B.C., are people from the long-term care homes… in their 70s or older.”
