still think it’s wild that i read both a study and a follow up indicating CBD actually inhibits covid from 1) binding to begin with and 2) replicating inside the cells and had a pretty significant effect (infections reduced by an order of magnitude) and im still the only person i’ve ever seen bring it up in any context when you’d think the stoner “weed cures everything” crowd would have latched onto it and when you’d think people would be ALL ABOUT a cheap prophylactic treatment that you essentially cannot overdose on compared to “let me take the horse paste and poop out my intestines”
We're so back

Was this a study? I’d love to read it if you have the link
LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 3 days ago
I don’t have it saved and i gotta go mow my stupid yard but this is similar
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7987002/
It looks like someone did eventually talk about it enough for there to be a snopes page for it where they say yea dawg that’s a true fact
Im on my phone and that site loads so fucking slow but i think they might have linked to the stuff talking about CBD binding to the spike protein, inhibiting its ability to enter cells, whereas the first link only talks about various immune processes getting affected
Anyway yea i think it’s pretty fucked to death crazy that CBD seems to lower infections by up to 90% and it’s gotten exactly 0% of the attention ivermectin, something that can easily kill you, has

Wait, are we still pretending like ivermectin is only a horse drug?
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Yeah it cures everything! Also it’s fun at parties
TheDankMemegician36@thelemmy.club 3 days ago
Only horse parties tho right? I dont wanna do something stupid like win a Nobel prize for using it to treat humans.

Hantavirus is very deadly. Do not fuck around with it
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 days ago
I encourage all conservatives to fuck around with hantavirus
Infamousblt@hexbear.net 3 days ago
I don’t, because a virus doesn’t care about your ideology when it spreads. So sure it’ll kill lots of misinformed poor conservative folks and just as many or more folks who are informed but don’t have a choice because they’re surrounded by people who choose to get sick

I hate to be that guy.
But won’t this cull Republicans the most?
WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 3 days ago
As it spreads through the population, the more likely it is to develop into a strain that the current vaccines are ineffective against. It wouldn’t just be the horse paste fuckers that this would effect.
Also it’d make it harder to reach herd immunity in the population and therefore place immunocompromised people in further risk.
You can’t individualism your way out of a pandemic, everyone who undermines attempts at stopping the spread puts everyone’s lives at risk.

Not enough of them to matter, likely, just like covid.
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 days ago
30-60% fatality rate iirc. 3 put of 9 infected already dead.
Not sure you want to live through it either, with all the damage it causesm

Ivermectin does literally everything. I believe it gives you sexual powers.
It cured my aching back and fixed my deviated septum.

Oh my god. Fucking horse goop will not save you. Nothing will save you if you get infected. But you probably won’t be infected unless you are rubbing butts with someone who is infected because this particular strain is human transmissible but you gotta be in super close proximity to the infected.
But by all means eat horse paste and dump bleach in your eyes. /s

you don’t have to be smart to work there. In fact it’s better to be dumb so that common people could relate.

I really hope we don’t have a pandemic. Hentavirus has a 30% death rate. Being against masks, against vaccines, having fadigue of lockdowns would kill at of people
Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
This strain is spread by close, intimate contact. Keep mice and rats out of your home, clean up their poop with a wet paper towel if you find it. This will help prevent poop dust from being kicked up, which is how the virus is typically transmitted.
Yes Hantavirus is scary. You can pretty effectively protect yourself, and if you walk in somewhere and happen to spot mice poop just chillin — politely inform whoever is living with mice about what I just told you and leave.
naun@lemmy.world 2 days ago
We won’t. This virus is only transmitted in close contact. None of the the science-based community I follow are worried, so I’m not worried.

Wait. The US has 300 Million people. If 30% die from the combination of deadly virus and insane politics, 210 million are left. Right?
Agent641@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Sorta. But losing 30% of your population dramatically destabilizes society. Those 30% are nurses, doctors, dick workers, police, pharmacy workers, plumbers, electrical engineers, military officers, ect as well as just ordinary people. The gears of society start to grind to a halt. People stop showing up to work. The dead stop getting buried because neither the hospitals nor the death industry can handle 1% deaths, let alone 30%. The supermarkets aren’t restocked. Nobody comes to put out house fires. Nobody can get vaccines for measles, flu, or other common diseases. Normally trivial diseases like minor infections or dyssentary become deadly. Murder rates skyrocket. Winter comes, power goes out with nobody to fix it, people starve, freeze, or die of heatstroke in their homes.newborn babies and pregnant women die from lack of access to care.
If you lose 30% of your society to illness, you lose your society.

Are they getting high off this shit? Is it euphoric? What’s the deal?
Donkter@lemmy.world 3 days ago
It was immediately and obviously debunked when conservatives and their movement were most vulnerable so the reaction was to cling to the totem of Ivermectin like it could give them salvation.

It spreads in secretions and poo of rodents, it’s not airborne like covid. That said, if you sweep up a dusty storage building with mouse droppings you can aerosolize it. Vacuums with crappy filters, the same. Bear in mind, any animal that grooms will spread their diseases with claw scratches. (Like when a bat passes rabies through a claw scratch…it’s because bats groom).
People can be dirty fuckers through. Not washing hands. Wiping their noses on the backs of their hands. Sneezing and coughing in public with no thought to cover, in any respect.
foodandart@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
Yup. Best to use a sting mop and wipe the mouse poop up. Mostly because it’s gross and who wants to breathe poop?
Thankfully, Hantavirus is mostly found in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) which as a species prefer to be outside.
If it jumps to the house mouse,(Mus musculus) we’re fucked.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I didn’t realize there were multiple genuses of mice. Neat
BenLeMan@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I once met someone who had caught it through aerosolized mouse feces while out in nature and almost died. Apparently his R/C helicopter had caused the contagious dust to spread and he inhaled it.
