Interesting bit of news:

quote:

According to the pharmaceutical company Nippon BCG Manufacturing, shipments surged three-fold at the end of March. It is said that shipments are currently being curtailed in order to secure infants. The company is the only domestic manufacturer and will take eight months or more to produce based on the number of births, so it cannot cope with a sudden increase in demand.

On the 9th, medical institution in Tokyo is unable to receive stocks, and the Tokyo Insurance Medical Association, which is made up of medical practitioners, told the ministry on Wednesday that it would not be able to regularly inoculate infants.


Since there was a BCG shortage already, I'm guessing these shipments went out to the people doing the various BCG studies, which would mean they are being done with the Tokyo strain

the city board of supervisors is loving livid. they've been demanding that the homeless all be moved to hotels temporarily since the governor gave all cities in california the authority to commandeer hotel rooms a few weeks ago, but the mayor didn't want to do it. 4 people at the shelter got covid a week ago, and now it's going to probably be uncontrollable among the homeless. the mayor didn't even tell anyone on the board of supervisors about it in advance, she knew about the outbreak at the homeless shelter and just announced it in a press conference, no one in the city government was warned this announcement was coming.
https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1248709493128495104

the mayor finally started moving people into hotel rooms from shelters yesterday, but only moved 13 people for the first day and was only planning on moving 500 people through next week.

so uh, in capitalism when health work is more dangerous and we need more health workers they cut staff pay. And when harvesting food is more dangerous and still needs to be done we... cut workers pay

this will have what result? exactly?

so uhhh just taking a look at the UK numbers and their testing rate still sucks but even given that:

-#3 today overall in new deaths (~1k a day already)
-#2 today overall in new cases
11.7% of all positive UK tests were today.

it feels like things are quickly slipping out of total control there. they have the US' daily death rate but nowhere near our population and were "behind" us on the curve given we're learning it spread to NY in mid Jan via Europe.

The US has double the daily death rate, though. But yeah, UK is looking really bad, guess Boris Johnson's (Alexander de Pfeffel) moronic "strategy" didn't work out.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.



What's especially cool about this is that Kentucky actually monitors whether somone's breaking quarantine and will take you to a judge to get an ankle monitor put on you if they catch you out and about. Louisville's done it to like 4 people so far and there's judges on call just to get those cases done as quickly as possible.

"People should be free to do what they want, any old time, even during a pandemic, without any government to stop them" libertarianism and
"If the pandemic were such a threat, then the government probably would have done something by now and closed places, so it's fine to mass congregate anywhere it's legal" authority-deference

is like a yin-yang of self-reinforcing opposites that help the COVID-19 numbers go up

They talked about it on TWiV and he is like adjacent to all those people so I’m sure he is aware.

I wish I was paying closer attention but iirc they weren’t sure what exactly in the science behind BCG would help here, and were pretty skeptical that getting it when young would provide a lifelong benefit displaying now. but, let’s see what the trials say, hopefully good news

so what are the odds they did this on purpose to try to shrink the homeless population

they are not sure because they are only reading the environmental studies, but there are a bunch that talk about the non-specific protective effects which I guess they didn't know about
