china lied about deaths and india doesn't have the recourses to count all of them properly so we probable did long ago

2020-09-27 15:05:38 UTC  

I pretty much got told by the highest admin that our school will keep on keepin' on until we are so impacted that we can't get substitute teachers lol

@Secret Squirrel wait what amoebas?

2020-09-27 17:48:21 UTC  

Oh

2020-09-27 17:48:27 UTC  

thats Naegleria Fowleri

2020-09-27 17:48:35 UTC  

I studied that amoeba

2020-09-27 17:48:48 UTC  

Mortality rate is 95%

2020-09-27 17:49:03 UTC  

You can die in less than 72 hours from initial contraction

2020-09-27 17:50:33 UTC  

It directly attacks the brain and has a protective coating around itself so that your immune system cant fight it

2020-09-27 17:50:43 UTC  

The amoeba itself doesnt actually kill you

2020-09-27 17:51:05 UTC  

Its the swelling in your brain caused from your immune response

2020-09-27 17:51:08 UTC  

Shits fucked

2020-09-27 17:51:19 UTC  

And people who have actually survived are fucked up as well

2020-09-27 17:51:37 UTC  

Pretty much once you start to experience symptoms is when its too late

2020-09-27 17:58:26 UTC  

So it's an infectious TBI basically?

2020-09-27 17:58:45 UTC  

Essentially

2020-09-27 17:58:55 UTC  

Its really fucked how it works

2020-09-27 17:59:13 UTC  

It eats the lining around your brain

2020-09-27 18:00:57 UTC  

Brain swelling is the most painful thing I experienced. The only thing that compared in pain was when I tore so much tissue in my ankle that when it was propped up my foot slowly fell out of align with my leg.

2020-09-27 18:02:56 UTC  

its a short video but explains everything

2020-09-27 18:03:35 UTC  

i studied it for my Bio 101 class and this is what I wanna for a career is study parasites and shit like this

2020-09-27 18:14:32 UTC  

There's two parts that are both very lethal on their own. The cells being actively killed by the virus, then the immune response to kill the virus and remove dead cells.

2020-09-27 18:14:47 UTC  

Hence causing the swelling

2020-09-27 18:20:02 UTC  

The swelling can be predicted quite well from symptoms because the pressure in the skull pushes the brain stem down the spinal cord and as parts are damaged different systems start to fail.

2020-09-27 18:24:57 UTC  

Is it mainly a danger if it somehow enters the sinuses (e.g. nasally aspirated lake water)?

2020-09-27 18:25:22 UTC  

Its only dangerous if it enters through your nasal passage

2020-09-27 18:25:28 UTC  

Its harmless if swallowed

2020-09-27 18:26:11 UTC  

so don't swim in stagnant, hot, nasty-ass lake water and it's a non issue

2020-09-27 18:26:19 UTC  

Basically lol

2020-09-27 18:26:24 UTC  

thats why i dont swim in lakes

2020-09-27 18:27:22 UTC  

Especially down south

2020-09-27 18:45:17 UTC  

Been swimming in lakes and rivers muh whole life and I've never had any crazy prions fucking me up

2020-09-27 18:45:43 UTC  

I'm probably legally retarded but that's besides the point <:atlast:758774926869004348>

2020-09-27 18:46:06 UTC  

I mean its very rare to get

2020-09-27 18:46:20 UTC  

Not many people get it
