omjohann | plus such predicament would probably indeed rise my blood pressure, so win win | 16:28:51 |
omjohann | I wonder how USA will do. Contained? or just slow unavoidable spread | 16:29:46 |
omjohann | small ACE II receptors master race | 16:30:10 |
@ff777:matrix.org | We'll probably have to worry about it about as much as we had to worry about SARS.. So probably not much at all i am hoping.. Although otter2020 in here is a japanese female living in japan, so she will still have to worry about it.. | 16:31:18 |
@ff777:matrix.org | like i said previously, i don't think there has been a non-asian death yet so far.. | 16:32:15 |
pwr22 | I have a friend who's going to travel to Japan soon - I'm not sure I'd be going to do that in their place | 16:35:13 |
omjohann | In reply to @pwr22:shortestpath.dev I have a friend who's going to travel to Japan soon - I'm not sure I'd be going to do that in their place at very least tell him to wear n95 and eye protection especially outdoors | 16:35:58 |
omjohann | and absolutelly on airport and such hubs | 16:36:10 |
@ff777:matrix.org | me and seven (we are both white americans) joked by saying we should go to wuhan and walk around like "hey guys what's up......i feel great..🤡" | 16:36:28 |
pwr22 | I doubt they'll do that unless they are basically forced to by staff at the airport etc | 16:36:42 |
pwr22 | I've annoyed them enough with nagging about the risks so I'm done for now | 16:37:03 |
omjohann | In reply to @pwr22:shortestpath.dev I doubt they'll do that unless they are basically forced to by staff at the airport etc maybe airports around the world should force that - at minimum wear that crappy surgery-mask to not infect others too easily | 16:37:33 |
@ff777:matrix.org | but i mean, even if some one isn't asian and might be more immune to it: 1: they could still get it and it would make them feel kind of sick and crappy even if they don't die from it, but also 2: even if they are fine, would you really want to visit japan while every one there is panicking?.. | 16:37:50 |
@ff777:matrix.org | well you can't even find masks any more though.. they are sold out every where.. | 16:38:36 |
@ff777:matrix.org | that is why chinese people are wearing bottles over their heads.. | 16:38:52 |

Sounds like either ACE inhibitors or an ACE II recoptor agonist might be beneficial based on that and my laymans understanding.
| 16:43:19 |
pwr22 | ACE inhibitors because they reduce conversion of ACE I to ACE II and it seems that the virus needs ACE II present to enter cells | 16:43:57 |
pwr22 | ACE II receptor agonists because they block binding of ACE II to the receptors | 16:44:31 |
pwr22 | I have no idea if the ACE II receptor mentioned is the same one that that these drugs work on though | 16:46:04 |
pwr22 | Definitely sounds interesting though | 16:46:55 |
omjohann | ^ things soon out of pharmacy stock near you | 16:47:03 |
pwr22 | Ha ha, it's already hard enough for me to get mine normally 🤦♂️ | 16:47:19 |
omjohann | imagine a black market rulled by people with confirmed high BP in ccountries where you need perscription | 16:47:24 |
pwr22 | ha ha | 16:47:33 |
omjohann | thanks socialism | 16:47:43 |
pwr22 | Or people suddenly taking large doses and fainting due to sudden low blood pressure | 16:47:51 |
omjohann | do you need pers. in your's or is it OTC, pwr22 | 16:48:00 |
pwr22 | Prescription only | 16:48:10 |
omjohann | usa? | 16:48:16 |
pwr22 | UK | 16:48:19 |
