welp my company just had layoffs on the assumption we are headed to a great depression-type scenario, and made all high earners take a pay cut

and we are in an “essential” industry that isn’t very sensitive to the business cycle

get ready for a bumpy ride folks

i really don't know what's going to happen in the next few weeks, and I think the recent move in academia that the virus is more transmissible and less lethal than we thought is a good sign

but a lot of people are still going to die and the entire economy is going to grind to a halt, and ~3 weeks isolation + massive testing/tracing regime ala SK is an enormous societal undertaking

Almost half a million infected soon. Probably underreported, I think the real number is closer to 50 million.

If it is really that high that is good because it means the percentage of people who either have no or mild symptoms is much higher than it is currently expected to be.

I work in a dining hall. We're papering over the windows so that "students don't see inside and think that we're open." Almost all of the students went home and aren't coming back for months because all classes will be online. From what I understand, in emergency situations, the Red Cross can use our facility. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we're setting up a hospital in here soon.

I will note that Ferguson's model in January predicted epidemic peaks in the secondary non-China hotspots in mid-April and based on where we are right now that sure looks good :thunk:

This is like that scene in disaster movies where the seismograph breaks and somebody is picking the phone and the other guy say "who are you calling". "everybody". Then a tree fall on the phone line and they can't contact anyone in time.
