I've been meaning to read this book for a while and now the quarantines might actually give me the time to do it. Thanks, corona-chan!

Since I just googled it for no particular reason, it turns out there's now a tv mini-series, made last year by national geographic, for the non-readers: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4131818/

We had to read this for my high school micro class. Largely fun book, if not entirely accurate.

I find that people who post those dismissive memes tend to lose their resolve when you mention that you agree, and don't give a poo poo about spreading it as far and wide as you can, because it almost exclusively kills people over 60 who you consider to be less than human because of their nihilistic death cult tenancies

weird that

of course it's more complicated than that, especially if you know vulnerable younger people, but don't share that with the bad faith idiots, gently caress them

that weird sensation in your brain is due to something known as a 'false equivalence' where there's the implication that [items grouped together in a list] are similar according to some unwritten assumptions.

I've spent my entire life hearing the equivalent of "I won't be alive when that stuff happens, so I don't care, I just don't want anything to change" from my esteemed elders, so forgive me if I lack much sympathy here, where suddenly I'm supposed to go out of my way to preserve their future when their entire identity both politically and ideologically is rooted in ensuring I have none at all

there's some good ones, and god knows I'm terrified at the thought of these insanely cool and excellent progressive warrior seniors catching it and dying, but the people I'm talking about would pump their fists at the thought of their peers I esteem dying, and they can comprehensively and totally gently caress off. I've got a lapsed EMT-B cert that I can probably parlay into a job bulldozing former residents of The Villages into mass graves and if the opportunity arises I will absolutely be driving cross country to do so

I have bad news for all the people who think warm weather will stop or slow the virus spreading.

Dr John in his daily update today talked about the results of some research done by Chinese epidemiologists and published in Practical Preventative Medicine.

They found that a bus passenger infected someone sitting 4.5 metres away, that the virus can linger in the air for at least 30 minutes and that it can survive on surfaces for 2 to 3 days at temps of 37c 98f.

This is only one study so far so we'll see if this is correct and confirmed by other studies.

If you're thinking "people spend more time outside" that's not going to help much if coronavirus spreads extremely effectively in enclosed, air conditioned spaces.

No it's "influenza droplets don't spread well in warm humid weather"

To be clear I have no idea if summer will slow the Boomer Massacre but it will probably slow vulnerable younger people from getting it.
