Ya, a certain RN I live with said they had a lot of weird CV stuff (I think? I'm not a medical person!) where people would show up thinking they were having a heart attack or stroke or something and then just magically be OK. Apparently one of the ways CV presents? Her unit was actually shut down for the past few weeks as they cleared things out for the peak but she has been called in the last couple of days so seems like the pace might be picking up. Make sure and go out at 7 and make some noise, yo?

Looks like one thing they tried was a "stop-gap" approach using antibodies from plasma from recovered patients. I'm O-negative so everybody's going to be coming after my plasma if I catch it. Time to redouble the social distancing! https://www.globalhealthnow.org/2020-03/covid-19s-stop-gap-solution-until-vaccines-and-antivirals-are-ready

I was wondering about that. I hadn't actually looked.

Oh, I would assume that every red-blooded capitalist in the country is trying to figure out how to convert over to Covid-19 supplies ASAP. Free markets are gonna free-market, after all. And I hope you bought stock in paper mills cause they are going to kill it. At least until everyone figures out they don't need an entire spare room dedicated to TP storage.
