Yeah if you take your shirt off and lay in the sun you can get it in like 10-30 minutes depending on your skin color.

Please note: do not spend more than around 7 minutes in the sun in NZ (and aus) without sunscreen because the ozone hole allows so much UV through it will gently caress you up.

The Scab

A Poem by: Jack London (1876-1916)

"After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab."

"A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles."

"When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out."

"No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with. Judas was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself." A scab has not.

"Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver. Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commission in the British army." The scab sells his birthright, country, his wife, his children and his fellowmen for an unfulfilled promise from his employer.

Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas was a traitor to his God; Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country; a scab is a traitor to his God, his country, his family and his class."

Are the projection models for https://covid19.healthdata.org pretty decent so far or nah?

California was seeing about 6000 deaths by August just a few weeks ago on this site and it’s dropped to 1783 today. I’m really hoping this means Cali won’t be hit as hard.

I’ve been sick with the Coronavirus for 21 days now, I have pneumonia in both lungs but never required a ventilator. I’m sort of on the mend now, I’m still getting daily night sweats and I lack energy but my drat fever is finally gone (haven’t had one in like 3 days)

The site's projections looks stupid, the deaths per a day chart for the US is terrible

There was a (non-peer reviewed) paper that came out in Feb and there may be differences in infection route, like ingesting a small viral load may not lead to nearly as serious of a case compared getting a big ol' viral load right up in the nostrils into the noggin. would partly explain why healthcare workers seem to be dying/getting it more than others despite also usually being physically healthier with better diets/exercise (but that's also probably lots more stress than normies too, which destroys bodies). who loving knows and it's probably just "random"

C-SPAM Times best-selling author
I do not praise death. I do not lust for death. I do not like death. I find it especially despicable when people cheer for the death of any particular group of people, be that group delineated by race, age, or any other vague criterium. By cheering for the death of a large group of people you don’t know, you are probably also cheering for the death of certain individuals within that group who are good people, and without whom humanity would be worse of. I find it disgusting, and it sets a dangerous precedent if this behavior becomes acceptable. Today we cheer for the death of these, tomorrow for the death of those other ones. You know how that story ends.

Regardless of your politics, whether you were for or against Brexit, pro-Tory, pro-Labour, pro-Scottish Independence, or whatever else, we probably all agree that Boris Johnson has made some mistakes over the past few weeks. Maybe he shouldn’t have been shaking hands with coronavirus patients in the hospital, as he claimed he did in a recent speech. Given his current condition, it’s pretty drat hard to argue that this was a wise decision.

Beyond that, opinions may differ a bit about what he should have done or not done. Maybe he should have done a lockdown sooner. Maybe he should have taken things more seriously. Maybe he should have done this or that. The fact is, as prime minister of the United Kingdom, he has been the single-most important and influential individual with regards to shaping his country’s response to this crisis. The weight of the situation in Britain now, where nearly 700 people died just yesterday, falls squarely upon his shoulders.

By having access to just about anyone in the country to appoint as his advisors, as well as information from one of the most competent intelligence networks in the world (if you believe that such a thing can exist), and also some of most highly esteemed universities on earth, one would think that he has no good excuse to pretend that he was not adequately aware of the potential seriousness of this months ago. Even if he had none of these things and got all his information from a newspaper subscription, he should have noticed that there was deadly epidemic spreading through China in January. It is his responsibility as prime minister to be aware of and to prepare for such threats to his country.

Yet he did not do so. Perhaps he wrongly appointed corrupt and Machiavellian advisors to surround him, or perhaps there was a fault in the ideology to which he subscribes, or perhaps it was simply just his own personal inadequacies and poor judgement, but whatever the reason, he is supposed to be responsible for what’s happening in the U.K. now. He is responsible for the thousands of dead, he is responsible for the government’s response, and he is especially responsible for all the reassuring words which he spoke to the public in the early stages of this disaster.

He shouldn’t have downplayed the potential of an outbreak, or the seriousness of the disease. He shouldn’t have encouraged people to shake hands. He shouldn’t have waited so long to take serious measures. But he did. He even promoted the idea of herd immunity and said that he wanted the majority of his citizens to become infected, an idea which has since spread abroad and is killing people in other countries right now. He hosed up really badly, and though it’s impossible to calculate how many people’s deaths he is responsible for, he has blood on his hands. His decisions and actions have led to the deaths of many people.

And now, as he lies fearful and struggling to breathe in one of the overcrowded hospitals of the National Healthcare System which he and his party worked so hard to underfund, dismantle, and sell off to the highest bidder, he is himself now confronted with the cold & grim spectre of death. He must have thought about it, realized that it’s possible that this infection might end up burying him, and that his partner might soon be widowed, that his children might soon be fatherless. Yet I find it hard to pity him. The hell which he currently occupies is the result of his own reckless choices, the ultimate manifestation of the selfish laissez-faire decision-making process to which he subscribes. Of course I feel bad for his family, I’m not a heartless monster. But I also feel bad for the hundreds of other families who have lost someone recently because of him and his foolish choices. How many hundreds of people does a man need to kill before you stop pitying him? How many thousands?

I understand the impulse to chastise C-SPAM for cheering someone’s death. Like I said, I do not like death, and I’m not a heartless monster. I grasp the scope of this individual’s tragedy. But to many people in the UK, Boris Johnson is death. Many, many people are dying as the result of his actions, and many more will die in the weeks to come. If he ends up in the midst of the pile of corpses which he created, I’m not going to cry about it. And if he lives I hope he is prosecuted at the ICC for criminal negligence.

If you’re seeking a moral high-ground, I advise you find one somewhere far away from this wretched man who decided to put the welfare of the markets before the lives of his fellow human beings.
