Yes and yes.My guess is that @Zachowon gets locked into a windowless room with lots of fluorescent lighting.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt...and the PT gear...the boots...ruck sack...bad knees...Yes and yes.
Frankly the reason I am supportive of the lockdowns to a degree is exactly because of telework.
The majority of the IT industry could have gone 100% remote 10-15 years ago and there wouldn't have been any problem, the companies could have gotten away with paying a bit less in salary because of living expenses and a lot less in rents and useless middle managment Karens, but no, the management Karens have to justify their useless existence and the overly-social time-wasters need to be social somewhere where they have a captive audience.
TBH I think that a lot of the pro-lockdown people are still doing that because they don't want to deal with the office ever again.Now if the boomers understood that then the lockdowns would have been lifted long ago.
The trend for more remote and more freedom was there even pre-pandemic, but now it has accelerated, hopefully the mandates will force a lot of right-wing boomers to stop impeding it.

So before I got distracted I want to get something off my chest.
I ran into an anti-vaxxer in real life the other day. Very much one of those left-wing anti mega corp anti-government types.
Yes I completely agree. The antivax crowd in the Netherlands is an unholy alliance of rightwing extremists, hooligan fanboys, yoga hippy herbal tea women, Turkish/nMuslim fundamentalists, anarchists, Christian sects, and farmers who oppose environmental rules (they would be called rednecks if we would ever get a decent amount of sunshine). We got self-called ‘Germanic antivax warriors’ called Yousouf and Younes. It does not make any sense.I won't lie to anyone, but honestly, at this point, I'm starting to think that the political scale needs to forget about the whole left vs right BS and focus only on pro-vax vs anti-vax.
Hilarious update on this.Some marijuana compounds can block coronavirus from entering cells: study
The researchers found that a pair of hemp compounds bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, blocking a vital step in the deadly bug’s path to infect people.nypost.com
Well, now isn't that interesting.
The researchers found that a pair of hemp compounds — cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, CBDA — bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, blocking a vital step in the deadly bug’s path to infect people.
“CBDA and CBGA are produced by the hemp plant as precursors to CBD and CBG, which are familiar to many consumers. However, they are different from the acids and are not contained in hemp products,” van Breemen said.
“Our data show CBDA and CBGA are effective against the two variants we looked at, and we hope that trend will extend to other existing and future variants,” he added.
But don’t plan on smoking weed to ward off the illness.
“The benefit for preventing viral infection of cells must come from cannabinoid acids, which are heat sensitive and must not be smoked, or it would convert them to CBD and so forth,” van Breemen said. “So that wouldn’t work for the antiviral effect.”
This makes a lot of since; the precursor cannabanoids do have huge anti-inflamatory potentcy already, a lot of growers spend a lot of time and energy to get the precurors out of immature plants. However, that means a lot more waste plant, if you use normal mairjuana/hemp strains available to consumers.
This might be what people in the industry refer to as Rick Simpson Oil, which is a very price, high end product to produce, and messy as crap in the extraction.
However it cannot be heated, or it breaks down, so smoking it would render it useless, and mature flower plants have no real precursor left in them. it has to be taken orally, so as a sort of very thick and odd tasting syrup of a sort, or maybe a hard candy.
Which means anything that get's you high, is absolutely useless!
Yes, I detailed in other posts how the compounds on question are precursor cannabinoids you only really get from immature plants, how the compounds being heat sensitive means trying to smoke them makes them useless, and how the stuff they are talking about is what people in the cannabis industry call it Rick Simpson Oil.Hilarious update on this.
Two cannabinoids have opposing effects on SARS-CoV-2 in culture
In early tests, CBD inhibits the virus, but THC blocks this effect.arstechnica.com
While CBD will help with it, any THC will prevent that help from occurring.

Because this isn't that?Yes, I detailed in other posts how the compounds on question are precursor cannabinoids you only really get from immature plants, how the compounds being heat sensitive means trying to smoke them makes them useless, and how the stuff they are talking about is what people in the cannabis industry call it Rick Simpson Oil.
So what exactly was the point you were trying to make?
Did you even read what I posted before trying to make this is into some sort of 'gatcha' post?Because this isn't that?
This is a discovery about it literally just straight up not working in anything that also has THC in it. Or working on anyone who has THC in their bloodstream.
Umm okay, THC cancels it out. We covered how it's other cannabinoids earlier in this thread. How is this any kind of gotcha or good point at all? It's good info to have, if you were capable of adding said information with acting like a jackass.Hilarious update on this.

In fairness, I think some people in the broader world are presenting it that way.No one is claiming that this is the same weed you'd smoke to get high off of.
Far Left librals were in fact presenting it that way.In fairness, I think some people in the broader world are presenting it that way.
