Typically unemployment has some garbage " of not fault of your own" garbage in it. You don't get unemployment if you quit or are fired

Usually in these things we have some hospital system strutting around because it was the only one prepared with enough PPE and whatnot.

Are they just keeping their heads down right now so the other hospitals don't steal their poo poo?


Also, big fan of the articles acting like we under-invested in ventilators for years and now it's biting us in the rear end. We should've started making them much earlier, but its not like we should've been sitting on millions on them just-in-case of a medical emergency that needed that equipment.

Since I believe in America, I feel confident that whatever treatment we come up with that makes this go away will also require millions of dollars worth of specialty equipment that we will have to make.

lol what in the world??


my point in all of this is that if you are getting your political enjoyment from the suffering of others, that is inherently debasing and counter to what our values are as socialists. this is not the same thing as me "defending chud lives" or being unable to see the irony of people being hoisted by their own petard, or being squeamish or any of that. a pure hatred of the ruling class does not require a dehumanization of myself. the path forward is one that we need to take clear eyed and be realistic about, but suffering is a necessary byproduct of transformative change, not the goal.

the state unemployment offices determine who is eligible. the federal govt will allegedly give them $600/wk to distribute to everyone they approve, but many if not all are currently "awaiting guidance from the labor department" before they'll approve any claims for it

The evidence is in the article. Try reading it next time.

Last Tuesday, after a mechanic tested positive for the coronavirus, more than half the workers at Bath Iron Works, a shipyard in Maine, stayed home from work to pressure their employer to thoroughly clean the shipyard. Workers walked out at a Fiat Chrysler truck plant in Warren, Mich., because there was no hot water for washing up. Bus drivers in Birmingham, Ala., went on strike because they felt not enough was being done to protect them from contracting the coronavirus from infected passengers, and bus drivers in Detroit staged a sudden sickout for the same reason. Sanitation workers in Pittsburgh engaged in a work stoppage over their coronavirus worries.

doing some napkin math, they now have 413 deaths / 1 mil. people.

bergamo has 1,846 deaths / mil. people.

nyc’s number is rapidly rising though. i did this napkin math a week ago and it was a quarter what it is now.

One of my friends in Scotland has every single family member but him in the ICU. I feel the UK response may be a tad underreporting.

They all live in different towns/cities and all of them got it without meeting eachother.

We should've been sitting on millions of them, they're useful for treating victims of several common forms of gas and germ warfare and we average a respiratory pandemic every few years, we've just been getting lucky for a while. Mass hosed up lungs is 100% guaranteed

1999. What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert has turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and had brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays had also given him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi, heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.

They are in the ICU For the corona, but the hospitals are not testing, and refusing to test. Its a great situation that shows the UK government handling this even better than the USA in the cold calculating carelessness.

Don't count the infected, and the number never goes up.
