Read some article by a future tech science guy who's job was flying around the world and advising rich people. He said that almost all seminars he held in in 2019 devolved onto "How can I get the mercs at my doomsday bunker compound to obey me after society collapses and money loses all value". Ideas floated was "control collars" and a food supply vault controlled by the billionaire.

As have been discussed in GIP, one mans bunker can easily be transformed to one mans tomb by the use of construction vehicles. Barricading the door and making GBS threads in the air intake was also mentioned.

Reminder to self, irony is not always obvious Well, we all have to make sacrifices. Blowing up the channel bridge to Skanör/Falsterbo would at least take care of the wealthy people running away to their summer cottages.

He was real happy at first, but now that he has become temporarily laid off he's gone into a deep spiral of depression He went on a rant yesterday to me during a breakdown about how he doesn't care if anyone dies or anyone suffers because of this, he's worried about the future of his career and the careers of those who have recently graduated and recently come into the job market. I work in a NGO and we're lucky enough to not have our economy affected by this so far, but I'm going to quit this work in June and start studying again in August. My hope was to get some sort of summer job, but it doesn't seem like a realistic dream at the moment considering that I live in Oslo and all my trade skills are basically being a glorified receptionist and secretary at the office. It's been fun and valuable and it's definitely something I like doing; it's just impossible for me to compete with anyone else at the moment.

A Buttery Pastry posted:We're early enough in the outbreak here in Scandinavia that deaths are not a great metric, since there are simply not enough people dying that random chance can't massively affect the numbers. In any case, the most relevant metric is the growth rate, not the total/per capita case numbers. A country where the daily case growth rate is 35% (like the US) is gonna catch up to one with a 10% growth rate extremely quickly, no matter how far along in the outbreak either is. But to know the growth rate one would need either mandatory testing or a continous randomized testing of the population, and I'm not sure we have that either.

Also, yesterday the local hospitals asked our cell and Molecular Biology Department if we could make disinfectant for them as they were running out. An e-mail was sent out for the last component needed, hydrogen peroxide. Hopefully they could get that.

If you're unemployed check with farmers in the vicinity. They have a massive need for labour now that they cannot employ seasonal workers from abroad.

Looks like Sweden has passed Norway's current death toll in a single day in Stockholm alone. e: Also for unskilled jobs, there's delivering groceries to old people and quarantined people. Probably notifying by phone and leaving it at the door with no actual sharing of the same space if I were to guess. Some of my students are doing that, might be a job that's mainly going to teens. But if you've got a car or a bike or something like that it might also be worth checking into, there's definitely going to be a need for people doing this.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Obviously anything less than that is gonna result in real uncertainty, but presumably day to day growth happens in similar populations in terms of how many are gonna end up with a severe enough case to actually get tested? Outside the initial parts of the outbreak where individual behavior isn't averaged out. Assuming you maintain a consistent testing criteria, like for example only testing people who end up needing hospitalization, then your level of underreporting should remain relatively stable - making growth numbers relatively valid. Yes that would also be a decent alternative assuming the similar healthcare systems make similar hospitalization judgements. Now we just need to dig up that data though.

We don't. I came down with a dry cough two weeks ago, and despite me working in healthcare at a major hospital the response was "We only test those that have either been exposed to a known Covid patient or have recently traveled to an affected area". Basically we have no idea how many are affected because we aren't testing enough people to know.

Soon two weeks working from home with home schooling and home kindergarten on top and I'm starting to become desperate. Guess my productivity has fallen 50%. Also social distancing, so the kids can't play with their friends and we can't visit grand parents and so on. Brakkesyken is getting real. Please someone find a solution to this madness that doesn't include barricading ourselves in our homes forever!

My wife is from China and has been looking at the Swedish respone to this and being all "what the gently caress are you morons doing?". She works in sorta health care related stuff and is pretty much single handedly responsible for this: https://news.ki.se/collaboration-increases-opportunities-for-covid-19-testing Her bosses back in China said that the situation looks so bad in Sweden that they want to donate PPE-equipment to hospitals here. Meanwhile SL is making sure literally everyone in Stockholm will be infected by cramming them all in overcrowded buses.

Yeah, the Finnish health officials here have been scratching their heads over the Swedish reaction to the pandemic. Are you guys in denial or something? Here the government is putting the region around Helsinki in quarantine from the rest of the country, and you guys are like "hey, go enjoy your ski trips, and don't forget to meet your parents during Easter!" I know Swedes are pretty relaxed and carefree, but this is just pushing your luck.

Nearly every Swede I’ve spoken to thinks that this is normal and a good course of action and most of us non Swedes are baffled at the inaction and galaxybrained response. Like I get not wanting to appear like you’re overreacting but this is the time to overreact. My bedroom balcony overlooks a square and seeing old people just ~business as usual~ while I’m working from home is shortening my life.

My dad's 74 this year and is taking it very seriously. Like, calling it the worst national crisis "since the war" (and by that he means WW2, of course) when I talked to him on the phone a week ago. Same thing with some older family friends.
