Gah, I can't find out to restart it!
by lillymunster 8/1/2011 12:47:23 PM

@Majj no worries, work on it when you have time. Good luck with therapy. :-)
by lillymunster 8/1/2011 12:48:12 PM

by elainekirk 8/1/2011 12:54:46 PM

@elainekirk Sounds like what people have been posting on twitter twitpic.com

@Edano @lillymunster it sounds like the exhaust pipe is broken and releasing the radiation which means that it has been exiting into the atmosphere through the stack till now.

@lillymunster : nail fungus. gloves, heat , humidity + no air.
by Edano 8/1/2011 1:14:09 PM

@Edano ah I see your point like my toes
by elainekirk 8/1/2011 1:16:11 PM

@elainekirk well, you saw it steaming. :)

this looks bad asahi now have a report on it after weeks without news

.
adding the NHK report already posted so we have both together

@Edano I get a reaction like that in the spring. Always assumed it was allergy or auto-immune, I don't do anything to wear work gloves. :-)

@lillymunster they really should try to publish results earlier they leave the door open for tepco to say 'but we stopped the leak'
by elainekirk 8/1/2011 1:31:13 PM

www.tepco.co.jpThis doc must have been prepared for an update that has not yet been issued - the words - 'there is a possibility...-
by elainekirk 8/1/2011 1:33:01 PM

This doc re the radioactive debris that is stopping men working has some red items circled anybody know what they are ?
www.tepco.co.jpby elainekirk 8/1/2011 1:35:13 PM

@Peter Melzer all that is with it is that it is a mother in Fukushima.
by lillymunster 8/1/2011 1:51:12 PM

@Peter Melzer can you identify the circled items

@Edano do you have any idea of costs for people to have blood counts?
by elainekirk 8/1/2011 2:01:34 PM

@elainekirk nothing, or not much. it is a simple blood status. they count the red and white cells always.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:06:20 PM

maybe 12-15 bucks.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:06:50 PM

@lillymunster : didn't you say it is a worker's hand ?
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:07:53 PM

@Edano so it is possible to rally some locals maybe
by elainekirk 8/1/2011 2:10:25 PM

of course, if you get fungus, it is always a problem with the immune system, or a lack of anticipating bacterias. but it's a question of scale. fungus on the skin is normal flora of the skin, you get dermatitis quite easy. fungus in the internal organs is a real problem of immune system.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:11:38 PM

@Peter Melzer 10,000 is the figure nhk and asahi give
translate.google.comby elainekirk 8/1/2011 2:11:48 PM

@Edano I got the impression it was a workers hand earlier
by elainekirk 8/1/2011 2:12:40 PM

@Edano nope a mother in the area.
by lillymunster 8/1/2011 2:13:16 PM

the costs for checking special immune cells is more expensive, but this has to be checked in detail.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:13:20 PM

@lillymunster the mother who wanted her family home so started checking the area because gov said it was saffe but she found (with what seems an excellent dosimeter that levels were up to 60+ msv/hr ?
by elainekirk 8/1/2011 2:15:26 PM

@lillymunster strange. only two distant fingers are affected. i would expect only one finger or all. if she does not do any specific work with these two fingers that would explain it, i would ask a doctor.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:15:42 PM

@Edano but a straight count would show immune system problems ?

@elainekirk yes. that's the first thing you check. then you check more specific.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:17:34 PM

but it can be anything, even aids can look like this.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:18:22 PM

don't forget only a small part of the population was healthy before fuku... just like everywhere.
by Edano 8/1/2011 2:19:47 PM

but it is the right idea to think of immune defects. yes.
