I'm never clear what asymptomatic means in this context.

Does it mean the period for which a patient is infectious before they become symptomatic?

Or do some people never become symptomatic?

And if it's the second, do they cease to be infectious like symptomatic individuals after a time? Or are they infectious long term (aka carriers)?

I will tell you when I can get back in. I quit my job in January before the economy crashed. Took a month sabbatical which is looking like it will an indefinite sabbatical.

9 years professional experience, four year Computer Science degree, multiple reviews of my resume and cover letter by trusted friends in the industry. Stable work experience where I am not hopping around a bunch. Important position at a successful start-up. Resounding success at every job I've had.

I've been putting my resume out. Radio silence. I have heard NOTHING back from anyone. People don't seem to like my start-up experience.

____

Why I (might) leave if I get back in?

* Infantilization and Micromanagement: Agile is a plague. I hate being micro-managed and forced into meetings all the time. I hate the constant pressure to sacrifice code quality for expedience of release ( when bugs will be much more expensive to detect and fix ). I just want to do my job but anymore that entails being harassed by middle-managers who can't take "no" for an answer when their boss's boss sets an unrealistic deadline.

* The people. I've been saying over and over that one of the best things you can learn in programming is how to lose an argument. I am done with the divas and the control freaks. I am done with the 0 training, three-years of experience clowns that show up and work extra hours ( thus creating an expectation for the rest of the team to work extra hours ), who suddenly know everything and think you are now their bitch ( management loves these people for some reason. Probably because they are cheaper. )

These two things were what I experienced at my last role. Though, I suspect these people exist in other careers as well.

Why do I want back in?

* I have had good jobs before. Jobs where the team is in sync and everyone just wants to do a good job. I think if I can find a team, I can create that environment around myself.

* I have learned a lot of lessons from my previous gigs. I think a layer of indifference is important for a developer job and I am ready to embody that role with kindness and mindfulness. I can deal with the people if I keep them on the other side of the bell jar.

* I love writing code and I am good at it. I even enjoy drudgery like writing a bunch of unit tests or writing documentation.

Or just make it cost karma. Anyone that down-votes too much would wind up at the threshold for down-voting and be rate limited by their ability to make up-voted comments. It would also render ineffective the strategy of having a bunch of accounts with enough karma to downvote and using those accounts all at once to make comments you don't like dead (the presence of corporate or state controlled accounts employing this strategy has been suggested multiple times).
The limit is about three comments every couple of hours or so. Downvotes on the other hand, are limitless. That should not change while there is a limit on comments. Voting is really the only major way to interact with this site. Three comments every few hours leave no room for actual discussion.
> This sounds like circular logic - how we know it indeed started in January and not before?

Indeed, without serological testing, we're necessarily making some assumptions. But there's other evidence that points this way, too.

Genetic analysis based on samples from around China and the world point to a single index patient in Hubei Province around late November. China's case tracing has not gotten to an index patient, but it appears to be pretty close, and also points to an initial case around the same time.

If there was a single case in late November, then we'd expect a few hundred cases by January. Some number of these will have traveled, but many would not.

While the US clearly had major blind spots in testing, we were explicitly looking for symptomatic cases from China. The first detected case was Jan 21. There may have been a few earlier, but genetic analysis of cases in Washington point to an index patient in the Seattle area around that time.

This is perhaps anecdotal, but one of the articles I saw, said that a person who was denied their medication was specifically told it was because it was being reserved for COVID-19 victims.

Something like Night Sight as a post-processing method might not be practical. You need many short exposures instead of one long exposure. So basically, you've got full-resolution raw video to deal with instead of a single shot. More efficient to process that before storing it and transferring it.
> Giving money to the rich does not trickle down to people.

All of my well-paying tech jobs have been funded by VC money from rich people and/or IPO money from rich people. Same goes (indirectly and partially) for all the people who have been selling me goods and services over those same years.
They were giving 1.2 grams a day to the patients that died. That is significantly higher than what is known to be a safe dose. CQ is also not indicated for anyone with underlying heart conditions. Since COVID-19 is known to cause heart damage as well as lung damage in the late stage of the disease using these drugs in the late stage of the disease has built in problems.

The article doesn't mention anyone in the lower dose group dying of heart problems, though heart attacks and related problems are things that are known to happen to people with COVID-19. The lower dose study is continuing and was not halted. Presumably there will be a subsequent study published with those results. I agree that it is a bad idea to be taking 1.2 grams a day of CQ. During the century of widespread CQ use the fatality rate due to side effects was certainly no where near what they managed to obtain by overdosing patients in this reckless study.

This is a meaningless statement.

For starters, to call a compound "reactive" means it's eager to participate in chemical reactions. I'm unable to discern what you were trying to say, but I'm betting it isn't that.

To continue, yes, at the limit, a sufficient dose of anything will kill you. The difference between the therapeutic dose and the lethal dose is referred to as the therapeutic index: wide is good, narrow is dangerous.

(hydroxy)chloroquine has a fairly narrow therapeutic index at the doses being tested for acute COVID-19 intervention. That's not a property you want in a medicine. It would have to be that much more effective to make up for the risk it poses to the patient.
It should, but the issue then becomes finding the damn thing :-).

Climate should have been an important theme, but because there seemed to be little coverage or comparison of climate change policy, I can’t blame the voters for not factoring it into their decisions. Why was there no DNC-hosted climate change debate? There was too much punditry and too little substance for voters to make informed decisions.

I didn’t get your description of IPv6 offering better privacy protection.

With IPv6, your ISP could give you one address for each of your devices for life without any grudges or pain, assuming it doesn’t mind losing out on the static IP add on pricing that some charge in the scarce IPv4 space. That would enable better long term tracking without additional tokens (like cookies) and fingerprinting. We’ll never run out of IPv6 addresses.

Looks like a great tool and would certainly help if it can intelligently suggest changes across calendars to facilitate meetings.

One question I have is all the permissions it requires. Amongst others, it's asking me for:

* View and manage the provisioning of calendar resources on your domain

* See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar

I've no idea why it would need the first permission there? I'm assuming the second relates to seeing co-workers calendars, and perhaps it also needs to be able to move meetings. However "permanently delete all the calendars" seems a bit over the top.

> the invest it in the financial vehicle with the highest ROI

And then where does the money go that was spent on the investment?

Consider that a high ROI means the money is used for something useful. For example, investing into a financial vehicle that loans money to people buying a house.

Let's say the rich person buys a yacht. The yacht construction employs a large number of people. The money goes into the pockets of the people who made the yacht.

> Giving money to the rich does not trickle down to people.

For this to be true, it would follow that if all the rich people were made not-rich, it would have no material effect on the rest of the people. But that isn't how historical examples played out. Getting rid of rich people made everyone else worse off. Every time.
It's also called "Democrat." There is no non-plutocratic alternative in the US.
I have no problems with the way this test was set up. It was a quick study that would have told us quickly if there was a huge benefit from HCQ. That wasn't the outcome. Larger tests with better statistical power will tell us if there is a smaller positive effect. My point is, the smaller the beneficial effect, the larger the test will have to be to find it, but also the lower the overall benefit to patients.

Again, note also that more patients on HCQ were diagnosed with ARDS, so if you pick a different measure, you get the opposite result.
I think again you are misunderstanding some severe things. Daily cases are flatlining now yes, but what happens if we open things up again? Why do you think we won't go down an expontential growth track just like before the lockdown?

You're literally saying "hey its not that bad, look at how good the numbers are while we are all staying home! Oh btw, can we stop staying at home?" Do you not see the inconsistency there?
I tell my developers this repeatedly, in the form of "making yourself 10% better is not as good as making everyone you work with 1% better".

A few get it and shift towards a "rising tide floats all boats" mentality, the rest do nothing and are perfectly adequate, or agree with me then turn back to solely focusing on self-improvement.

The kicker? That 1% universal imporvement is soooo much easier than 10% or even 5% personal improvement. You can help your team become more effective just by (1) commiting to the act of (2) giving a sh!t.

I definitely don't feel bad about my purchase, I don't play games (aside from puzzle games when flying) so I don't really care that much about high-end CPU/GPU.

The researchers gave whopping doses of chloroquine to both groups:
(a) high dose chloroquine (600 mg chloroquine twice daily for 10 days or total dose 12g);

(b) low dose chloroquine (450 mg for 5 days, twice daily only on the first day, or total dose 2.7 g)

In addition, all patients received ceftriaxone and azithromycin.

So group (a) got 1200 mg chloroquine the first day and group (b) got 900 mg chloroquine the first day. No wonder they had irregular heart rates! Luckily a review board stopped group (a) treatment before they killed all the patients.

In contrast, the regimen for Covid-19 _successfully_ used by Dr. Zev Zelenko on ~700 patients is:

1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days,

2. Azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 5 days,

3. Zinc sulfate 220 mg once a day for 5 days.

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3829492/posts

The zinc sulfate is _important_ because it raises the blood level of zinc (Zn++ ion). Chloroquine is a zinc Zn++ "ionophore" which marshals Zn++ across the cell's outer wall into the cytoplasm where the Zn++ can halt viral replication.

"Chloroquine Is a Zinc Ionophore":

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4182877/

(PDF) https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/jo....

Some researchers seem to be missing the point that chloroquine and its analogs may play a different role here than in malaria, acting not directly against covid-19 but as a facilitator for Zn++, which then halts covid-19 replication.

Zelenko's use of an antibiotic(azithromycin = Z-Pak) is a prophylaxis against potential secondary bacterial infection; the antibiotic would not likely play a role against the viral infection directly.

Once again we see that randomized, double-blinded clinical trials can be more deadly and less informative than ad-hoc studies performed on the battlefield of medicine.
