    What he said (whatever "mucolytic" means).

    I started taking it a few years ago as a supplement that's supposed to help your liver process alcohol better.  I'm not a lush, but I like to imbibe every know and then, and since the liver is one of the more important organs in the body for metabolism, I figure I'll try to do what I can to help it out in my older age.  

    Turns out it's on a few lists of supplements to better equip your body for COVID.

    Be careful with that stuff. It hasn’t been studied well in humans for alcoholic liver disease. In mouse studies, they found that taking NAC before alcohol ingestion decreased liver damage. Taking it AFTER getting drunk actually worsened the liver damage.

    The other thing that helps prevent alcoholic liver disease is coffee. Very strong correlation between coffee and decreased morbidity from alcoholic liver disease and cirrhosis. Could be life saving.

    115,000 people at a football game.  It's outdoors, but apparently you can't just jetpack into it.  You have to walk through some tightly packed corridors/egress.  Much of the people involved will be voluntarily unvaccinated.  We haven't had anything this big in 21 months.  I am going, everybody should go, gonna be a blast.  But not everybody is gonna survive the aftermath.  And that's too bad.  Then again, maybe it's not.

    Not just Austin, but all the colleges hosting home games. The restrooms are going to be superspreader events. Close contact, poor ventilation, and stupid air blower hand dryers aerosolizing covid that was on its way to the floor.

    4 ICU beds available in TSA-O (Austin metro).

    Yeah, that’s a rounding error. Basically 4 patients either recovered or died, and the room hasn’t been cleaned enough yet (covid cases require a “terminal clean” which takes some time) for the 4 that have been waiting in the ERs to move in.
