And now you have made me laugh, and I feel a bit better myself! :laugh: Thanks! :D

I found this video from the ME Association with the same title - is it the video you're looking for? (I watched only the first 30 second or so) EDIT: I just watched a bit more of that video and noticed that the audio is very much out of synch with the video. Oops! So one guess is that...

Adding my thanks as well! :heart:

Okay, now I understand why all the online stores were out of this drug! My husband is the one who takes it (he just takes whatever generic famotidine he can find). Back in March we had no trouble getting some online but we tried to get a refill a day or two ago with no luck.

Good tips! I've also seen a suggestion to use some sort of tape (something that won't hurt your skin, like the tape that you use with old gauze bandages, or maybe even a band-aid) to tape the mask to your nose under your glasses.

MEAction posted an article discussing this NIH announcement: https://www.meaction.net/2020/04/16/nih-announces-two-new-funding-opportunities-for-me/

True. A healthy person who has to stay inside all the time will need some sort of outlet(s) - a new hobby, some new online interaction, an exercise routine - to burn off their excess physical and mental energy. There's just no way that I have any practical tips for someone who is healthy...

Warning to those who might want to watch - the host calls the novel coronavirus, aka, SARS-CoV-2, "the Wuhan virus" within the first 10 seconds. I had to stop watching at that point. Language like "Wuhan virus" or "Chinese virus" may have been okay back before the virus was identified and...

Yes, and also a leader who will follow the advice contained in it. https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1245720391168995329

Wow, that's fantastic! Congrats! :trophy@

This is so relatable. Even without all the extra work caused by this coronavirus (I know you all feel this! Wiping down groceries, or leaving canned goods unused for 3 days, and making sure to label/separate them so you don't use them too early) so many things just stay broken, or are not...

Instructions for how to make a mask from a t-shirt. :mask: No sewing required. Scissors are used to cut out a mask that ties behind your head. This is one of the homemade mask options that looked like something I could actually do. And for me, tying it behind my head would help to remind me...

Is there some reason why a lot of the graphs show only the positive results and don't show the negatives or total number of tests done? Here's one website that breaks down test results for the US - it has both positive and negative results: https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily/...

As someone who has moderate ME -- too sick to work, loads of symptoms, resting takes most of my time, BUT I can usually get out of the house once per week -- I really appreciate this quote from Sarah Sweet's post. Even though my health sucks, it's important to remember how many folks would be...

FYI, the newsletter contains more than just fundraising information. That may seem obvious but I thought I'd mention it since the thread title is "OMF fundraising."

I found another article about masks (it's very long so I only skimmed it) - dated April 1, 2020. I thought I'd post it on this thread. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2020/04/01/should-everyone-wear-a-mask-in-public-maybe-but-its-complicated/#4022665da02f Note that I am not taking a...

This is a long article, and mostly focused on USA issues (from NPR, National Public Radio), but I found it interesting. Explains some of the testing failures in the USA. Fighting COVID-19 Is Like 'Whack-A-Mole,' Says Writer Who Warned Of A Pandemic...

The dashboard looks interesting but I'm confused about the date Stat News lists for the first USA case - says it was 25 days ago: The first case in Washington state was in January. Even Oregon had its first case before March (late Feb). I just did a search and found this NEJM article which...

For anyone interested this starts at about 2 and 1/2 hours from now (at the time I posted) "On Friday, March 27, 12:30–1:15 pm ET, join experts from Johns Hopkins for a discussion about how and why countries’ responses to COVID-19 have been so varied, what some of the effects have been, and...
