on the topic of retards ignoring precautions
TFW London turns into Escape from LA
I think what the British government is doing is technically called 'pussyfooting'
Rrrreally sorry for everyone that has to watch their government not step up still
Those areas will be hit harder
Britain will become the plague island
Easy solution for exiling criminals

Oof, that'd be really grim
Yes lock down all of London
Coronawhat?
> Biggest challenge since the second world war
The challenge last time was to see how many people they could exterminate before they lost Berlin.
Is she saying she is on the side of the virus?
The last time they were exterminating everyone who wasn't a German, now they're exterminating only Germans
+063
potentially infectious persons is everybody

Oh for fuck's sake, the absolute state of this pathetic excuse of a mayor...

Oh boy... sounds good for borrowers, but it's a nail in the coffin of anybody's grandparents that hoped to live off the interest accrued on their savings...

All these people freaking out about this virus should be reminded that walls are immoral.
I'd get some ointment for that... Prince Albert infected

Interesting that malaria medication is showing promise while countries where malaria is endemic show resistance to this virus
Really weird because malaria isn't even a virus
@Captain Conundrum Not weird if you know how malaria medicine works.
That's good then if it is backed by theory as well as the limited evidence
is it possible to do a tl;dr on that @ᚠᚢᛖᛚᛖᛞᛒᚣᚳᚨᚿᚳᛖᚱ ?
$0.04/dose in the developing world. If this works out we're going to beat this bitch
Yeah, if we have working therapeutics then this isn't going to be anywhere near as big an issue.
I'm still thinking we will have to come up with a plan to expose everyone we can afford to eventually over the next 12-18 months.
I mean the UKs herd immunity plan isn't a bad idea, I just think not doing a lockdown to start with before we can judge how much of an impact it will have is a bad idea.
Inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glycolysis; it also binds with hemazoin in parasitized erythrocytes. Is what I can think of right now, but the mechanisms are generally not that well-known even though they are studied.
Hydroxychloroquine? is that what you guys were referring too. Honestly I doubt it to be effective.
Another possibility is an artificial version of the ACE2 receptor that would bind to the virus and then prevent it from mating with live cells:

This was apparently developed for the original SARS.
Basically, chloroquine has been used for Influenza and is well-known too inhibit replication of Orthomyxoviridae (Influenza family). Still only a hypothesis in the inhibition of glycosylation of Coronavirus receptor ACE2.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1232869/ from 2005. So basically every single drug that they report as potential has been researched for SARS etc.
TL;DR why not throw everything at it and see if it works.
