Finally some science
This is a multicenter; double blind randomized controlled study investigating the role of remote intercessory multi-denominational prayer on clinical outcomes in COVID-19 + patients in the intensive care unit. All patients enrolled will be randomized to use of prayer vs. no prayer in a 1:1 ratio. Each patient randomized to the prayer arm will receive a "universal" prayer offered by 5 religious denominations (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism) in addition to standard of care. Whereas the patients randomized to the control arm will receive standard of care outlined by their medical teams. During ICU stay, patients will have serial assessment of multi-organ function and APACHE-II/SOFA scores serial evaluation performed on a daily basis until discharge. Data assessed include those listed below.

So, watching Cuoma press conference while having supper. And he's speaking nonsense, claiming the virus that reached New York from Europe was "a totally different" strain which might have been more virulent and more dangerous.

And that's nonsense. You can look at evolution trees of the virus based on its RNA to know that the virus went to New York from Europe but the changes in the RNA that are used to do that tracing have no influence on the way the virus works...
Our maybe not nonsense

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161 ... 120.008662
Conclusions - In the largest reported cohort of COVID-19 patients to date treated with chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine {plus minus} azithromycin, no instances of TdP or arrhythmogenic death were reported. Although use of these medications resulted in QT prolongation, clinicians seldomly needed to discontinue therapy. Further study of the need for QT interval monitoring is needed before final recommendations can be made.
Of course, he may have been right about the other thing...CNN will sure be disappointed...maybe Tero, too. I think he was a fan of the (slightly more expensive) other promising drug...R-*something

Yeah, but social distancing rules still apply. New techniques, skill sets, and implements are needed...

Last time I was at a hairdresser was in the last millennium. I started to shave my head in 1999. My hair is hardly ever longer than a few millimetres.

Both customers and workers have to wear masks and they are only allowed to cut hair from behind, not going face to face with the customer.

BTW: what have you been doing to pass the time during lockdown? Cunt's been virtually racing people online, Sean's built himself a chicken coup to practice the guitar in, Svarty's memorising the entire Judge Dredd canon, pErvy's been training for a shark surfing challenge, lak's been driving round late at night shouting obscenities at people three streets over, Jim's been experimenting with different amounts of tonic water, and I've picked up my brushes for the first time in years.
Apart from off-planet excursions, I've been working, doing useful service for society... that's why I don't live on this site, like some...
Yeah, but some of us are really old, and/or retired, and some of us are infirm, and some of us are old and infirm, so cut us some slack eh? It might look like we're living on the site but most of the time we're either dozing or looking for that thing we just put down a moment ago but now can't remember what it was or where we left it. What useful work have you been doing for society, besides preparing for the arrival of the invading hulk fleet of course?
Galaxian doesn't need to prepare for the arrival of the hulk fleet... it's already here. My useful paid work is structural engineering, that I'm at over 60 hours a week.
It makes little difference how old or infirm the members are. If they were all young, they'd have the same troglodyte mindset. My clients, the general public, are mostly more open minded & well informed than the self-obsessed, closed minded show-offs that infest these forums. The members don't contemplate what they're saying; they think they're in a celebrity contest, competing for who comes up with the dandiest ridicule. But Galaxian doesn't mind: My mission here is only to disseminate ideas, not win friends. :coffee:

How can I wear a mask? I'll want the guy to trim my beard as well as my hair.

I read your words, but haven't bothered with your videos.
It means you sound like an idiot here, since you make grand claims, then point to unwatched videos for your 'evidence'.
Still enjoy reading you, but if you were trying to make a point, you should maybe do without the vids. If you can't make your own case with words, you might not have one...
This point has been explained before. I'm not going back to rock art. Video is the highest form of idea transmission we currently have.

"In chapter two in his classic 1859 text ‘On Liberty’, John Stuart Mill explained why silencing dissenting opinions is wrong:
Firstly, the opinion which is threatened with suppression may possibly be true. “Those who desire to suppress it, of course, deny its truth; but they are not infallible. They have no authority to decide the question for all mankind, and exclude every other person from the means of judging,”
Mill wrote. It’s pertinent here to remind ourselves that Cohen, who wants to suppress Icke’s opinions, and sets himself as an arbiter of what views should or shouldn’t be heard on leading social media platforms, was a prominent supporter of the Iraq War.
"To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility. Its condemnation may be allowed to rest on this common argument, not the worse for being common.”
Are we absolutely certain that all of Icke’s opinions are false? Perhaps some are, but others aren’t. That’s what Mill refers to in his second reason why opinions should not be suppressed. “Though the silenced opinion be an error, it may, and very commonly does, contain a portion of truth; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any object is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied.”
