Schnorkles: Apr 30, 2015; It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

I assume the Balkans got their name due to Balkanization?

I thought it was the other way around, tbh, but I honestly don't know much about why that area of Europe was so hosed up.

Upon reading the Cuomo tweet I thought, man, this virus has caused a lying fake media mouthpiece to get a little introspective and maybe consider the consequences of their actions. But in reality he just realized he was too rich to have to hear your tepid criticism lol.

no it's all lies, though hospital admissions do seem to be down, the death toll is much higher than advertised

also there was a patch of warm weather with lots of people going out into parks recently so it'll probably bump back up in a bit

its just speculation, but i think the hospital admissions are a red herring

i've read hundreds (hundreds!!) of verified reports (all American, so maybe this doesn't apply to NL) of all but the worst cases being told to stay home and wait it out/die. people who can't finish a sentence without getting out of breath being told to stay home.

when you combine that with the countless reports of people dying at home, the huge spikes in overall deaths, ambulance drivers in nyc saying they're picking up 40x more dead bodies than ever...

i think hospitals/healthcare authorities have decided to just let people die at home rather than cram them into overcrowded hospitals and let them die there. it might even be the best choice because it prevents the hospitals from collapsing and the medical staff from dying. but it creates a completely false narrative that we're "beating" the epidemic when all we're doing is increasing the percentage of uncounted deaths.

Hmm

The other idea I've always wanted is to wire a button into a rpi that you can press and it triggers the find my iPhone loud ring on my wife's phone that she lost for the 8th time today

i looked into projects that used amazon dash buttons for things like this, i wonder if those ever got any easier to reprogram

Yeah interstate compacts aren't really unusual and if they're just coordinating states doing states stuff when the president has told the states to go handle it there's probably a pretty good case that it doesn't require congressional approval bc it isn't stepping on federal toes

Like this is literally what Trump told them to do and now he's mad, interstate compacts to address regional issues are a very normal thing

i hope the port authority of ny/nj gets deemed unconstitutional

You had turnup by 50% for that judges election in Wisconsin in the pouring cold rain, in a few massive lines in the midst of a pandemic. That's 1 and a half million voters who consciously made a decision to vote in spite of a threat of death, and the Dems won by 150k in a state that Trump won by 12k. That's radicalization.

Turnout was down 51%, not up.

sure, maybe, and they have been encouraging people to sign do not resuscitate orders, however they increased the number of IC beds a few times and they aren't full anymore so that doesn't seem to be the issue

a lot of people are staying inside, I would expect that to have some impact, but I also don't really trust any of these numbers so let's wait for the death stats

dont presume that you are immune

dont presume that you are non contagious

theres evidence that immunity fades quickly but that it can take like 20+ days to not spread the virus lmao
