It is and I know some people who have huge side effects with it. I never had issues with it but have found Nasacort to be more effective personally. Plus, NASA! 
Both of these don’t get into the lungs as much as asthma/oral based corticosteroids. Mostly focuses on histamine response (hence the nose inhalation).
I was on Symbicort before and then my insurance stopped covering it.
Another reason I’m glad I got permanent residency in Japan and could never move back to the US. I’m too accustomed to good/cheap healthcare!
Wealthy celebrities and the mega rich need to step up and start to help the people who are in financial need, so far I have only seen 1 singer doing so.
Actions speak louder than words, of which they seem to have no problem giving away, but words don’t pay for things that people need to live.
Yeah they can’t help everyone, but they can help someone, that’s a start.
It begins, how can a dumb fuck like me predict this yet seemingly governments can’t?
It’s just voice services, data seems to be fine. Which means that it’s probably not related to confinement (as the articles says). But I get the frustration though
Noticed yesterday calling clients that I was getting the call can not be completed. Not good.
Yeah, maybe I’m over reacting but still I think data demands are not being given much thought, if any, from what I see on the news.
I read of a german company yesterday that wants to start testing an antidote next month already. its not the company trump tried to buy all scientists and exclusive rights for the US from (and got rejected, luckily. now I officially hate that douche). this company is heavily financed from china and will distribute worldwide if they succeed.
that might be a shimmer on the horizon.
Im curious to see how our (german) government (and all others too) plan on handling the economic disaster. I recon they will figure something out, but thats something where I dont envy them. things like sitting out rent, shopping coupons and whatever have been thrown out as possibilities. I mean, you cant just let the world become unemployed.
I am in home office as of today. Workload is really low so I had time to produce a track. thats a positive to this… you all stay safe
Agreed. John Cena bought a veteran’s groceries. But that’s probably a more common (for him) act of kindness and not really related.
They’re all freaking out just as bad and probably figuring it may be a while until they work again, as every industry will surely be touched.
Trump needs to be on the horn with the entire federal utility regulatory commission and major utility CEOs talking about a timeline for reduced rates, suspending profits, a national moratorium for utility disconnections.
He needs to activate the National Guard to transition empty high schools and middle schools nationwide into MASH units, and send Reservists to protect their grocers and pharmacies and to police hoarding.
Really, this all should have been done 10 days ago.
It’s almost as if electing a big dumb idiot con man has real life consequences in an emergency.
It depends on the type of work you do, but unless you use a remote desktop, you probably aren’t using more data than usual. I’m curious to see the numbers but in different countries the infrastructures seem to be holdin’ up just fine. The only problems are for specific services, and if some website can support the load increase. Like discord for instance, or for smaller websites where you can shop for groceries online then go get them at a drive-thru that aren’t used to the load.
The company I do (did?) contract work for, the same company that my wife works at uses Box for collaborating. In this instance working from home means we’ll use the same amount of data, if not less since the computers at work are all shut off and not synchronizing to Box.
Most folks leave their home computers on, so that they don’t have to wait for them to sync when going home early to finish up work. In other words, practically no data is being used at the office, and the same amount is being used at home.
A lot of smaller tech businesses work this way.
But, the actual service this company provides is all about consulting with companies (100 to 5,000 employees) and how they operate, utilize their space and resources. Many companies who are transitioning to allowing more remote workers have to VPN/connect through the office remotely, so that will certainly require more data. The more advanced ones have encrypted cloud connections.
I’m curious to see what the total difference will be, across the whole of the internet. I wonder when we’ll get those numbers.
It’s important to note that the graphic is logarithmic here. The curves looks more like an exponential.
I’ve had a weird feeling in my throat for days. that sinus drainage sort of feeling you get when you have a cold coming on, basically. but it’s annoying me and stressing me out a bit, in the midst of all this.
so then yesterday my left eye was blurry all day. could not get it to focus. all day long. hard to read anything and I started getting headaches. glasses on or off (I’m near-sighted), didn’t matter. always blurry. started wondering if this is a side-effect of the virus/fever and maybe the sore throat really is something…
finally around 11pm I stick my finger in my eye and pull out a contact lens. turns out I had only pulled out the other one the night before. I’m an idiot. (also I’m very new to wearing contacts, probably only worn them a dozen times.)
anyway, I’m relieved but also happy to just laugh at myself 
probably because they are actually amoeba’s in suits and we all know amoeba’s are single celled organisms without a brain.
er … absolutely.
Some peeps need to wake the fuck up.
The explanation from the person tracking it:

Thought I’d share our home sanitizing plan for when my wife I goes out/returns with supplies, medication… We didn’t find this anywhere, just kinda made it up in the last week and have refined it a couple times.
All you need to do this is hand soap, and bleach with a rag (if you don’t have clorox wipes).
This is in addition to small keychain bottles with homemade hand sanitizer (1 part aloe, 2 parts 60%+ alcohol) that is used in public after every interaction.
That graph is deaths not people who tested positive.
The first graph I posted was number of cases.
