A journalist in Israel interviewed someone from that Japanese cruise ship when they got back to Israel because they were cleared. After the interview the cruise ship person tested positive. Now the journalist is in quarantine.

You're right. This is total amateur speculation, but since the professionals aren't speculating I figure I'd give it a shot.

“with a 90% uncertainty interval” is an interesting phrase

does that mean the certainty interval is 10% ? Does that mean anything

it means there's a 90% chance the number is between 80 and 1500 and is most likely to be 570

not sure what's hard to understand about that

90% chance that a random sample from that population will fall within that range given the provided data, IIRC.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
I live in downtown Toronto surrounded every day by mainland Chinese and if it wasn't for news headlines and goon meltdowns I wouldn't have even known that there was an outbreak of anything unusual

ie in places that are demographically the most at risk for this thing nobody on the ground really gives a gently caress

I have family in whitebread rural Ontario buying up those construction masks though

Does American Samoa have any cases? That might be a safe bet since they managed to be the only real place with modest populace that rode out the Spanish Flu with no outbreak.

I'm in metro Tokyo right now and it feels like business as usual. It is a bit quieter and there are more masks compared to the same time last year, but it definitely doesn't feel like anything is wrong.

Something I noticed in White House press conferences... whenever the speaker is answering a reporter's question, the people behind them just keep staring at the reporter for however long the answer is, like some weird staring contest.

They're the most powerful lobby in america, and they use their power to divest from our country and its future and prevent solutions to expensive long-term problems. If 10% of them are dead in a year we might actually be able to do something about climate change, student debt, infrastructure, healthcare, and all those other things a generation of selfish children at death's door don't care so much about. Bring it on I say, just not to my parents.

We could do all this stuff tomorrow without killing the parents that raised you, by young people actually showing up at the polls,something that are terrible at doing.

I live near Chinatown and everyone is wearing masks. Yesterday I went to the bank and not only were all the staff wearing masks, they’re limiting the number of people who can come in at one time. Some of the restaurants also have staff wearing masks.

They had the entire San Jose convention center and like a dozen expensive hotels block-booked, god only knows how much cash they're losing over this decision

I was scheduled to give a talk there and feel kind of relieved over this turn of events. Wouldn't want to wind up like Burt
