Coronavirus

I obviously make no claims regarding what this study may find but there's some thought coming out of France that smoking cigarettes may actually help in the fight against the virus and they're going to test nicotine patches on health care workers:

We're really getting into the "leave no stone unturned" phase of things, huh?

Yeah, that said the numbers are interesting.

Yup. Would definitely be an unexpected outcome to have a nicotine-based treatment be successful, but, as long as it doesn't cause an uptick in smoking...

Bought a carton yesterday. They're really disgusting, but because it's for my health I'm powering through!

Can't infect my lungs if they're clogged with tar!
 
Borje had it also!

Yeah I remember when it was first reported that he was sick it seemed insane that he wasn't actually tested for it. Glad he's feeling better.
 
I find in interesting how much I've learned about Sweden during these times. We are communists, most swedes wear chip implants, our tax rate is 60-70%. We don't care about the old. Now Fox News is praising a left-centre government in Sweden, while the left in the US is giving us crap. Is this for real?

He said he couldn't breath and though he would die. He is imploring us all to stay inside and not get the Covid.

Nothing makes sense in the U.S anymore, even Trump looks like his chip implant is malfunctioning big time. Maybe the return of Kim Jong has blown his mind.

Yeah, I was just reading the NHL.com link.

Anyone that thinks it's only the elderly and immunocompromised that get extremely sick should probably give it a read.

Not to make light of a a) global pandemic b) government sanctioned assassination of dissidents, but sticking with defenestration sort of makes this too obvious. Like all the anti-Apartheid leaders that ?slipped in the shower? to their untimely deaths.
 
Hello everyone thought I'd check in see how everyone is doing. Hope no-one has been affected by the virus in anyway. All good out here in BC other than going a little stir crazy. Hopefully some hockey in the not too distant future.

BC seems to be doing a really good job with things.

I feel like I'm just in a waiting period now. Sort of begrudgingly gotten used to physical/social distancing life. Things aren't going back to normal for a very, very long time still but I'm looking forward to when we can start increasing our social bubble a little.

I also really, really need a hair cut.

A friend of mine owns "Architect Hair Design" on James North...good spot, and you can have a beer...of course, when they get to open back up again.
