international Diplomatic row brews as J-pop star “GACKT” rouses rabble against government during the modern Pox Pandemic

President Donald Trump of The Apprentice fame has called his closest advisors, A-Rod and Guy Fiero to defuse the situation

up next: Is murder ok, if it makes your life easier? our Instagram influencers discuss

Gackt is a lot more than just a J-Pop star. He's played with the Japanese Philharmonic Orchestra and has written scores for historical stage plays, which he also wrote and starred in.

who the gently caress is keeping bookmarks these days, it’s a torrent of bad news

but I do seem to remember that some millennia back, when all this began, the OMS clearly said:
“don’t hoard masks, they’re for doctors and nurses, you don’t need them bro” and it sort of evolved into “yeah you don’t need masks because they won’t protect too much and maybe it will be even worse” etc

There's this big false difference between "airborne" and "droplet spread" which is a legacy of some pre-science TB poo poo, so like close contact is the worst thing but it can kind of bumble around in the air somewhat too, think store or hospital vs someone walking by your house I think?

CDC updated their research 2 days ago and found the R0 is 5.7 or higher: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0282_article

previously they thought it was ~2.8. it's a huge increase and would only really be possible for something that travels in the air

yeah the other implication is what it means for herd immunity. with r0 of 2.8 they thought herd immunity would start around 60% of the population infected. but with r0 of 5.7 it means 80% of the population need to be infected before herd immunity matters. so like, we need to either stay in lockdown until a vaccine is available (anywhere from 12 months to forever, we have literally never made a vaccine for this type of virus--it's like vaccinating for the common cold) or long enough to flatten the curve and slowly get to 80% infected.

I imagine it has something to do with fact you gotta get tested once to be a death, twice to be a recovery, and it's hard to get a test unless you are actively dying

it's airborne, period. if you want to quibble about 'but but the jetstream won't transport it to europe! it's not airborne!!' bullshit then go for it, but you don't get a high R0 like that from people touching each other. it's airborne enough to matter, period.

College cops

quote:

A right-wing commentator interviewed Jerry Falwell Jr. during his show Wednesday, where Falwell said that there were two arrest warrants open for reporters who came onto Liberty University’s campus.

Upon further examination of the warrant, the police officer who signed the warrant was Detective/Sgt. A.B. Wilkins 206 LUPD. The LUPD is not the Lynchburg Police Department nor is there a Sgt. or Detective A.B. Wilkins. It’s the police department under the authority of Liberty University.

Warrants are typically issued by a judge who directs an arresting officer to execute the warrant. No judge appears to have signed the warrant nor is there a judge mentioned, though the warrant does cite the Lynchburg, Virginia courthouse.

Anyone else thinking about using their $1,200 in TrumpBux to buy a small packable tent, a sleeping bag, a camp stove and a nice rolling cart and just running with the whole homeless thing?

Once McDonald's opens back up I can charge my laptop there and use free WiFi to shitpost, and "shower" in their bathroom.

I probably only need to beg about $10 a day to live.

Any goons want to join me? We could play LAN games together at Mickey D's.

I just want to take a moment to reassure everyone that the virus which combines the dormancy and reactivation of HIV, the contagiousness of small pox, and the deadliness of SARS is not a bioweapon. The main reason you can know this is that the military is too competent.

yeah, i get that. as other poster mentioned there's been no doubt about that for awhile. i was wondering if some new research had come out about specifics, sounds like not. that R0 article is alarming, though, thanks for sharing.

why not just stay in your apartment until evictions are allowed again, you can still buy your tent in advance and beg for food money and you'll be warm and dry in the meanwhile

that kinda pandemic homeless plan might have work in the before times, but nowadays when 60 million other people are in the same shoes? lol no you won't find any mcdonalds that isn't being 24/7 monitored by armed guards. and every grassy spot hidden away and near them is going to be teeming with other people.

get something that you can hunt food with. get good at it. consider moving to a remote part of alaska, like this guy:
