lol yesterday my neighbor had a little kids' birthday party with hella kids. in addition, it was held in some tiny apartment complex and all the guests were gridlocked and blocking traffic on a busy thoroughfare getting in and out of the tiny gate. lmao.

Things I have observed in my hallway alone. One family has friends/family over regularly. All the Indian kids ~6-8 years old are still playing together, this is 4 families in my hallway, and at least two from other hallways. One family includes a nurse.

It's not a matter of if, it's now just a when at this point.

yes i am aware hence using the term common sense as it means "generally accepted correct choices to make". you are the one who said they are peer reviewed specifically which I found odd because isn't that supposed to be the case for everything?

there's a difference between "this research looks promising so lets test it" and "we're super skeptical of this so lets test it". research all over the world gets put into either of those two based on where it comes from and what comes from china is almost always the later because of government fuckery. there's also research that comes from several labs/researchers in the US/europe/elsewhere that gets placed into the later because of a history of fuckery as well.

Yeah it's fake news to saw it was around before Dec.

Scientists pretty much know from back tracing the genetic code and mutation it hopped from animals to humans sometime in early Dec.

It was on the radar in China in a big way when doctors started to nice a wave of patients with SARs like medical problems.

Just drive into the other lane to pass. It's not that big a deal. We're not doing it just to make you mad, I promise!

Appreciate that but why slow down traffic behind you on two lane roads where passing your mobile hangout means going into on-coming traffic? Maybe limit chat time to where cars won't have to pass you?

There's a shitton of junk science coming out of China in general though and as a result everyone always looks studied coming out of there with some level of scrutiny.

Not that people are liable to be padding their resume by faking data with COVID19 right now since that's liable to be found out, but "while usually there's no issue" is patently false when you look at the numbers of studied with made up data and retracted papers there are coming out of Chinese academia.

how does my small business friend do this, he has a board game company but no explicit payroll so is despondent . his games are stuck in some warehouse in europe due to low priority and he's convinced he's gonna be BK

im actually hoping to help him get unemployment since the rules on that are going to be so weird , might as well apply. even if he was earning $0/mo he should be able to hit up that $600/week check. too bad the 600/week expires on a fixed date at the end of july (according to chicago suntimes) and you can just get it from may-september or whatever

for the PPP loan, it opened to self-employed people on the 10th. funds will run out quick so he should contact his bank today, get all the requirements and let them know he IS applying. this one is forgivable he gets it and spends it appropriately.

EIDL can be googled. it’s on a SBA page where you apply for a disaster relief loan. they will advance up to $10k, but the advance eats into the forgivable portion of the ppp loan. it’s good for paying vendors, rent, loans. requires more demonstration of an actual loss of income, but it sounds like that will be easy in your friend’s case

As compared to the rest of the world? In a discussion with my department lead a few weeks ago he mentioned how awful basically every U.S. polling company was at accurately judging outcomes within margins of error that would never be accepted elsewhere. We then talked about the factors of why that might be and at no point was the idea that "americans intrinsically cannot do statistical analysis" floated.
