lol, we're never gonna know how many people in the US died of this because there's nowhere near enough testing.

what are the models for the correction factor to the real number infected based on this?

We'll be able to best guess it based on avg deaths vs previous year or whatever. That may also catch a lot of "died of unrelated thing because hospital was full" but I feel like that counts when looking at our dipshit response to this pandemic

Wife was exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid-19 and for the past three days she's had the worst dry cough Ive ever heard a fever, fatigue and aching joints. Won't fgiver her a test unless she's getting admitted to the ER. She seems to be recovering thankfully but was it the Roni? Literally will never know.

Yeah that sounds very classical 'roni'd; internet doctoring webmding poo poo from a series of tubes to you, but i would unquestionably say that was the roni if i was a doctor. it might be a bit more "well solid chance it was but possibly not" if not for the fact she was exposed to someone who was confirmed, that p much shoots it in 99% territory right there.

i may have had a very mild to asymptomatic case of the 'roni for most of march, but i did not get a straight up fever or involuntary cough so i'll never know either. welcome to the "we'll never know" club.

like, as a person that DID work for a short stint in a mcdonalds, it's already robotic assembly. It's just that one part of the robotic assembly process still 'requires' a human that is CONSTANTLY running around hitting CANCEL on an infinite, never ending series of shrill deep fryer and grill timers and squirting exactly 2.0 pumps not 1.7 not 2.2 of mayo onto a loving burger. The sole reason that position exists is so lovely customers can yell at a lovely manager who can then turn around and visibly yell at a sweating, exhausted person trying to make people's food the exact same way every time.

If by "allocate resources efficiently" you mean "shift everything to equity-based compensation for the executive team while ratcheting up share buybacks to unprecedented levels" then yes you described how capitalism works.

WOuldn't it be hilarious if entry level workers got equity based compensation, hahahah could you even loving imagine what those morons would do with all that money.

While I've worked some non-tech jobs, I've never actually worked a customer facing service industry job and I am incredibly privileged to be able to say that and am extraordinarily nice to everyone I meet who does because everyone seems legitimately happy when I do, since it apparently doesn't happen much.
