Soysaucebeast posted:So my brother is currently having a meltdown on Facebook. He's apparently really good friends with this guy, who got arrested for licking stuff at Walmart and putting it on tick-tock. Everyone on Facebook is telling my brother that that dude was a moron, and my brother had taken to calling all of us idiots and criminals and "it was just a prank!" I've never seen him this angry before in my life. someone that licks things at walmart should be in jail anyway even when it isn't a terroristic threat.

Dear Watson posted:honestly we are already getting reports of paper towels blocking the sewer pipes here, after everyone gets poop water backed up into their homes society will crumble pretty quickly There's still sufficient infrastructure in place for now where intermittent sewerage issues can be dealt with locally. Once it start becoming a more widespread issue and there's a single massive instance of toilets backflowing across an entire suburb somewhere with lots of gross footage that goes viral online then there'll also be a ton of PSAs about what not to flush down the toilet and most people will hopefully stop doing it. (A certain percentage will just go "gently caress you I spent $500 on paper towels because the stores were all out of TP so I'm never going to stop" but that's just how it goes.) Plus as long as the water is running there's ways for people to deal with it, even if they have to resort to making GBS threads in buckets. (That'll also kick off a whole new list of widespread health issues that the first world hasn't had to deal with for a while now but we'll deal with that when we get there. I'd be more worried about the power grid getting overloaded and we start getting rolling brown outs. How long are people going to be able or willing to self-isolate at home without power? How badly will people panic when their refrigerators stop working and all that frozen food they've hoarded goes bad? Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Mar 27, 2020 |

Here is the source: https://www.lalibre.be/planete/sant...978e2284142361a I'm aware it's only a few people all from the same place, but they were all not showing any symptoms and one out of 10 was positive. Another virologist said previously probably 1% of the population was infected, but that wasn't based on tests, only modeling. So real figure is probably between 1% and 10%

The Cockler posted:Which thread would that be? Yo I know this post was more than a few pages back but I can't send you a PM. If you're near downtown or able to get downtown, hit up Mitas between 5:00 and 8:30 every single day. Jose Salazar along with some of his crew and the Lee Initiative are running a relief effort for restaurant workers. Food and essentials are free for industry folks who have had their income effected from all this bullshit. They're open 7 days a week and have PLENTY to give thanks to a lot of donations from around town. I know Our Daily Bread (right by Findlay Market) is offering up to-go meals in the mornings as well. There are other places offering up assistance as well around the area, shoot me an email at zach at otrchilico dot com and i'll get together a list for you. I can't help you out with housing or anything financially (also a restaurant goon here, and I was supposed to opening my place this past week...) but I can make sure you can get food and essentials. Also, if you haven't yet, apply for unemployment. You can still qualify if you haven't been officially "laid off" and aren't getting hours. The Ohio unemployment website is a clusterfuck right now, but you can get through if you're patient, or try to fill out the app in the middle of the night. A little bit of money is better than no money. Good luck fellow restaurant goon.

Today I went to install new door badge controls in a hospital and in four hours they carried two body bags out of the wards. Considering I never saw a bodybag out of a morgue in six years of installing poo poo in hospitals I can safely say that this isn't just a loving flu.

We're having a fun time in the Funk in Shoe household. 3 weeks ago both kids came down with fevers, vomiting and coughs but shook it off in a week or so. We've sort of semi-joked that they'd probably had corona. I had a couple of days right after with headaches and mild body aches but nothing dramatic. My wife, up until yesterday, have had no symptoms. We're both 36 and working from home with 2 kids (ages 2 and 7) and it's stressful as hell. And then of course last week my wife found a lump in her right breast, roughly the size of an almond and freaked out. She called up the doctor and got an appointment the next morning to get it checked out. Doctor refered her to a mammogram next wednesday and we're both naturally quite freaked out, while still trying to keep life somewhat normal for the kids. And then last night she started feeling like she had trouble catching her breath, and coughing... If it's the virus, we're afraid she won't be allowed in for her scan next week which could - in the worst case scenario - mean that if the lump is cancer, we might loose potentially weeks before it's diagnosed. She's super duper scared and crying a lot - we've been together for 12 years and I've never seen her like this. I know we'll probably be fine but this is the most worried and scared I've ever been in my life. e: last january our then 1-year-old spent 11 days in the hospital with a severe case of pneumonia that would've clearly killed him without medical intervention; I can't shake the fear that somehow my wife's got the virus from somewhere outside (we've been self-quarantined for 3 weeks though) and that she'll pass it on to the kids and my son's little lungs won't be able to handle it.

unpacked robinhood posted:In France electric consumption went down 15% on avg There's a pretty significant overlap of energy use between 4pm and 7pm as people transition from offices to homes If the buildings are just set to "weekend" mode 24/7, even though people are occupying their houses full time, since there's no overlap, I can definitely see electric consumption going way, way down There's a bunch of break room fridges not getting restocked, a lot of office washing machines not running, vending machines not getting restocked (how much power does it take to cool 200 cans of soda from room temp down to fridge temp?). Elevators not running. Heat pumps moving significantly less heat/humidity. Computers and displays are sleeping, which means less heat, which means less AC etc etc For every 10w of heat in a room, it takes ~2.5w of power to pump it out.... probably net 30%+ power savings
