Don’t forget companies that sell trash covid tests, they’re doing great. So Mon-Thurs I had the old tests and had a 35% positive rate. I then administered about 120 of the new tests over Friday through Sunday. I had one positive test. One. Uno. Singular.

Either I fixed all the covid or something is really wrong here.
This is seriously national news worthy^^

quote:

Hong Kong (CNN)China has imposed restrictions on the publication of academic research on the origins of the novel coronavirus, according to a central government directive and online notices published by two Chinese universities, that have since been removed from the web.

Under the new policy, all academic papers on Covid-19 will be subject to extra vetting before being submitted for publication. Studies on the origin of the virus will receive extra scrutiny and must be approved by central government officials, according to the now-deleted posts.

quote:

According to the directive issued by the Ministry of Education's science and technology department, "academic papers about tracing the origin of the virus must be strictly and tightly managed."

The directive lays out layers of approval for these papers, starting with the academic committees at universities. They are then required to be sent to the Education Ministry's science and technology department, which then forwards the papers to a task force under the State Council for vetting. Only after the universities hear back from the task force can the papers be submitted to journals.

Other papers on Covid-19 will be vetted by universities' academic committees, based on conditions such as the "academic value" of the study, and whether the "timing for publishing" is right.

quote:

The document was first posted Friday morning on the website of the Fudan University in Shanghai, one of China's leading universities.

When CNN called a contact number left at the end of the notice, a staff member of the Education ministry's science and technology department confirmed they had issued the directive. "It is not supposed to be made public -- it is an internal document," said the person, who refused to reveal his name. A few hours later, the Fudan University page was taken down.

Anyway so you guys know how the House of Saud deliberately flooded the oil market to drive out competitors, even though it cost them a great deal in the short term and caused a lot of economic pain for their country, but they knew they could weather it for greater future benefit? Can't imagine any other country pulling that stunt, no-sirree.

It’s being looked into. Should be able to tell today wether it’s a local issue like a bad batch of test kits or a more regional issue with the test.

What the gently caress happened?

I keep rereading my own stuff and I don't believe it.

I'm going to just forward it all of it to my therapist Tuesday and say, "Call me back once you start getting worried."

It'll likely take like 3 minutes.

It was interesting to see how the last one was so disjointed compared to the others. Sounds cold and I in no way mean to be- the horrific stress was getting to you. You needed some time off and I'm hoping you take it because your hospital no doubt needs you functioning when you return.

Your writing is excellent- advice is don't go changing it or editing past writing---if you do you keep the drat originals somewhere!!!! It makes it a very real record of what it's like

Glad you are here and I gather you know to ignore the amazingly immature weirdos itt. :love:

This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.


From SF Chronicle, landlords are demanding tenants' savings.

quote:

Residents at the Normandy apartment complex at 1155 Ellis St. in San Francisco’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood say the company that manages their building has been distributing letters asking for extensive financial information that goes well beyond evidence of wages lost due to coronavirus.

The letters require that tenants “sign a statement under penalty of perjury that you do not have sufficient savings and/or other resources that would allow you to pay rent despite the change in employment status.” In addition, the property owner’s letter requested an employer’s phone number in order to verify the loss of income.

My spouse is a medical provider who mainly sees people on medicaid so their social economic status is pretty low. This is because other hospitals the area don't want to take medicaid so she gets all of them. So now, her colleagues in those other hospitals are busy with tele-health, while my spouse is now furloughed because it turns out(to no surprise to c-spam) that income inequality is so bad that people with low SES are unable to do telehealth for a bunch of reasons related to poverty. It's a real sad state with just things a lot of people can take for granted.

That sucks, I'm sorry to hear it.

This is a problem with people who are looking for jobs too. A lot of positions require you to apply online and you need a computer to do so, you couldn't apply in person if you wanted to for a job such as some grocery stores if you wanted to. If you don't have a computer or an internet connection you are unable to apply for a job. This is why people go to the library to use the computers. I realize most people have a smartphone but a browser on it just isn't the same thing and this is coming from a person who works with mobile apps for a living
