I've been having a hard time finding an updated "peak" date. It was April 14, then about 5 days ago it was April 16. Anyone know what it is, now?

It's going to vary country by country

In the US with 330 million people, and major cities both a) being hundreds of miles apart and b) having wildly different densities, the peak is going to vary wildly

My wild rear end guess:

For the top 100 largest cities by population, that are also within 20 miles of a commercial airport, this will likely peak between April 21 and June 7

For smaller, more rural towns, it might peak in July or September, OR in some towns (< 20,000) nobody will get it, and we'll open things back up again and it'll peak in Oct/Nov/Dec

i assume this is to prevent scammers that have leaked SS numbers from applying for EI in other peoples names entirely online

This is Canada, so in order to apply you already have to have CRA account, with various means of identifying yourself, personal info, SIN, plus you have to answer a question (amount from tax returns). Emailing it would seem to be safe, but maybe it's something along the lines of what you're saying.

My wife is waiting for her EI access code to come in so she can start collecting, but for some reason (despite doing everything online) it has to come by mail. :downs:

I'm still waiting for that stupid "access code by mail" but got my emergency aid deposited today, the 2000$ a month one, so you don't need it.
I had applied for EI but all new EI claims got transfered to the emergency relief so your wife should be able to get it right away without the code, if she's eligible.
The eligibility rules are pretty wide and will still be expanded some more soon.

Good luck! :(

I mean that the state has the power to control public spaces, to a certain extent, but not to get people into those spaces. rear end load of people out of work+pandemic means even if every store, restaurant and what have you was open tomorrow they still would get nothing in terms of traffic.

i dont think you get what i mean, or you haven't really thought this through at all. im not talking about people going to restaurants. im saying there are still lots of places where people are going to work at call centers and the like in some states and when other states open up too early this is going to exacerbate that problem.

not to mention that in many parts of the country large groups of people are continuing to gather in churches and large family events and will continue to do so whether they have work or not, and those kinds of gatherings have already been shown to spread the virus a lot. a place doesn't need to be a "public space" to spread virus just needs to be a space with a bunch of people close together in it, someone's dining room with 10 people sharing a meal is enough to continue exponential spread

She's an ECE and her daycare shut down, so it's a safe bet. Her CRA account says that she's been approved, so it's a race to see what gets here first.

Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me – and I don't care for jam."
"It's very good jam," said the Queen.
"Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate."
"You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day."
"It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day'," Alice objected.
"No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know."

Okay yeah, I talked to this with a guy who works with for San Diego County at work and he was extremely lol about this as well. Yeah lack of comprehensive policy basically means the severity varies all over the place and actually punishes places that respond appropriately because the reintroduction risk is very real. We're basically in for a situation where the r0 nationally might be tamped down but uneven locally, so the worst of all worlds where it is constantly floating around.

I read today that every death of Covid in St. Louis was black. Every one. Like gently caress, that's just crazy to me. I can definitely see the home of the Ferguson Riots saying that it's because those dang black people live in those dirty ghettos and that's why they're all getting the Roni.

On an un-related note, someone posted a website a couple days ago about how local travel has changed due to Corona and there are 73% MORE people going to St. Louis' public parks than before all this. One of my co-workers actually told me yesterday he went on a blind date in Forest Park (our big local park) and was all hugging on this girl for hours. Like dude, they still won't let us work from home, please don't give me the Roni because you thought a girl was hot.

Oh man, this reminds me. My apartment complex closed all their laundry rooms (after two weeks of shorter hours and daily bleaching) and now I get to try and find a laundromat that's open at 11pm and is not full on janky as hell. Everywhere I'm looking either closes at 7 and I work until 10:45, or has like 1.5 stars on Google maps. It'll be a fun little adventure when I run out of work clothes.

i apologize for this. my vague language leaving you to wonder if this was serious or a joke posed a safety hazard that is now obvious in hindsight

what i meant was that sufficient thc in your blood stream getting invading individual covid-19 virions high as gently caress will render them effectively inert and allow your immune system to easily fight off the disease instead of contracting an infection. it follows that this could be a shortcut to the widespread immunity this country desperately needs

It's not a "waste"; there are tests that have been developed just for veterinary use and aren't made to be used on humans.

Anyway there were two dogs in Hong Kong who became infected with coronavirus. They were both asymptomatic, same as all the lab cats. The Belgian cat is an outlier here because it supposedly actually had symptoms. According to CBS, some company called IDEXX also tested a whole bunch of cats and dogs and found none who tested positive. That was back in mid-March though. Who knows what they would find if they tested now.

IMO cats should be kept indoors regardless.

Its actually a pretty big man power sink and waste at this point.

Imagine the entire extra process needed to obtain and safely test everyones pet after the owner got sick. You would likely need another entire chain of PPE for veterinarians to safely do it because you can bet if I am testing a cat or whatever for Covid then I am going to be suited up like the cat is contagious.

There are also a ton of other logistic issues like who would you ask to produce tests in sufficient quantities that the animal tests wouldnt cut into production and supplies used for human tests?

On Monday night I was flipping through the channels and saw that RAW was on and put it on for a bit since I remembered they were doing it without an audience and wanted to see what that was like.

It was a woman's match, and the two wrestlers each brought two men down to their respective corners to cheer them on (I guess?) and the guys were just going completely nuts in an otherwise deadly quiet set. Think "That hulk hogan gif where his eyes are bugging out and he's shaking the ropes", but ringside, and slapping their chests and literally hooting and screeching incoherently at the women wrestling. There was no other noise.

When the women got a move in, like a knockdown, they still 'paced' it, as if they were getting crowd reactions, like one woman slapped the other one in the face, and the slapee looked all shocked and offended and slowly turned back while panning back across the empty room to no reaction, then pushed the other one to the mat. When the woman fell over, the one who pushed her walked slowly in a circle clapping like she was revving up the non-existant crowd, and then bent over and slapped her butt in the other womans face to taunt her/the still not there audience.

I felt weird so I turned it off. That's the most wrestling I've watched in over a year. Thanks COVID.
