Marc Lipsitch, a prominent infectious disease epidemiologist at Harvard, posted a bunch of irritated tweets about Feigl-Ding a few months ago and then deleted them because people told him they were mean, lol. Feigl-Ding loves to say that he's "At Harvard," which isn't strictly false, but he's only got a temporary appointment as a Visiting Scientist that (if memory serves) might not even be paid, so it's not like he's a professor there or a permanent researcher or anything. His mistakes appear to lie way in the past, and were mistakes made by people here too, and unlike most twitter people, he actually deletes his mistakes. It doesn't help when the one detractor cited in the story is a liar too. Honestly, it sounds more you're just rubbed by his tone. I'd be interested in an analysis of mistakes he made in the past 4 months. Mithaldu fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Aug 20, 2020 |

Sanctum posted:The virus reveals a lot about how grossly selfish people are both as individuals and acting as organizations. "Oh you might be exposed? Well as long as you're not symptomatic come on in! We're willing to risk you spreading the virus as long as there's no positive test that could make us liable." Sadly it will take violent action on the order of deliberate infection of officials to force officials to re-empower those regulatory bodies you mentioned.

local AYSO region decided to have a season in spite of the fact that signup numbers are lower than they generally are in spring, and those are about half the numbers of the fall season. talking about combining divisions because they numbers are so low- great idea, let's play 10 year olds against 3 feet taller 14 year olds! schools, colleges, pro sports- all the openings have been clusterfucks, high school sports aren't authorized and we can't even play games under the guidelines but...what? the same assholes on the executive board making this decision are the ones i was texting with back in March that were telling me Covid was a scam/hoax and literally laughed when i said if we didn't do anything the US would lose 200,000 people

Example no. 42069 of why the number keeps going up: People going to gyms with no safety precautionsquote:So, since June, I’ve gone and done my thing. The gym environment itself, it’s no masks. There’s definitely sanitizer, but I’d say no crazy steps, like temperature checks. There’s hand sanitizer, but that’s self-administered. There’s not a ton of oversight. quote:So that’s the hardest part about me going back to the gym: knowing that, since I do work with the public, that’s another potential risk to my customers. I’m highly cognizant of the fact that it’s not the smartest decision to make. It’s something to me that is important enough, where I feel like there’s a low probability of contraction just through that one activity.

gently caress that guy who's like "Yeah I might get some customers sick, but I really like going to the gym!!!" You know what I like doing? A whole lot of poo poo that I'm not doing right now because I don't want to get anybody else sick. I'd loving love to be eating at a Chinese buffet right now and then riding a bunch of roller coasters, but I'm not. Why is this so hard for people?

Tell them to go gently caress themselves. Yeah, I'm uncertain what to do at the moment. I'm in Florida, so we cannot legally strike. I don't really want to quit and I REALLY want to be teaching again, the last 5 months have been awful. But every single person I've talked to at every single school over the past two weeks (we're talking 25+ people) all have the look of the soldiers in the later charges at Fredericksburg. "We're going to do loving WHAT?" No one believes this is possible, no one believes it can actually happen, we are all just looking at each other and going, "Welp, hope I survive till enough die we shut down." Literally everyone. There's not one person, not one, who is confident or at all the least bit optimistic that any of this poo poo is going to make any difference whatsoever. I'm sorry for yelling here but: FLORIDA IS NOT IMMUNE TO MATH. NO ONE IS. ALL THE loving VIRUS IS IS MATH. MATH IS A THING. YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE IT. I've got my face shield and my mask ready to go but man. It is so insane to see all these superintendents across the country looking at all the data in the loving world that says this is impossible and everywhere it's been tried has become a plague outbreak and go, "Hmmm... well, that won't happen HERE!" We are an utterly failed state, American and Florida. Especially Florida. My greeting to teachers I haven't seen over the summer in the hallway is, "Welcome to the great experiment in mortality!" Currently masks are still just "recommended" when in-person school starts because "we want to allow students freedom." I've literally had students pulled out of my loving class and made to walk out in the hall so some Nazi could measure the length of their shorts. I've had kids SENT HOME for wearing spaghetti straps under a shawl. (Psssst I say kids but I mean girls because they are the dress code's targets). But when it comes to a medical device that could literally keep people from dying? Well, that's your choice! So you can have a kid in the front row mouth-breathing as hard as they can and you cannot even ASK them to put on a mask. Just... just gently caress all this, turn out the lights, set everything on fire, and let's dance in the flames because all this poo poo is gonna burn. This poo poo would be so hilarious if it wasn't so awful. Just a bunch of loving too-clever monkeys making every possible bad decision while the virus just spreads and spreads.

Manager Hoyden posted:You guys ought to just go full hazmat. Every teacher in a bright yellow cleansuit with full-hood respirators. AFAIK they are not even providing masks. Every classroom is getting a "COVID kit" with hand sanitizer and clorox wipes in it. Those will be gone by the end of the first day and after that? A student who tests positive does not need to inform anyone unless they have been in face-to-face distance contact for more than 15 minutes. That means that if a student sitting in the back of my room tests positive for COVID, no one in the classroom will be informed as those criteria are not met. So 36 people sitting in a 25'x30' closed room for 100 minutes basically cannot generate a COVID quarantine notice unless at some point in the class that student did that face-to-face thing for 15 minutes. So no one is going to get notified. I'll take, "How do you hide the numbers" for 180,000+, Alex.

Masks are still required out there, and I'll be honestly, working out in a mask when its 100 out sucks, but not as much as coronavirus. They also have spray bottles with soap solution they give to everyone when they come in to wipe down their equipment when they're done. Plus between the reservations times, they build in 10 minute time to give things a further clean with soap. Oh and temperature screenings before you're allowed to enter, but I'm not sure how much that helps since you can be infectious without a fever.

Sucks right now because I’m doing work that involves being on site to check/restart on a machine every 3 hours and we have an on-site gym I could be using to fit in another cycle. I don’t know about doing anything like that indoors until they actually confirm transmission is droplet-only since evidence has been building for aerosol transmission but it hasn’t actually been verified as a likely way people are getting it. It has lit a fire under my rear end to get remote log in and automation figured out, which is something we probably should have done a while ago but didn’t have a pressing need for yet.
