Still following Michigan's IHME death projections. A linear model, which for the time horizon probably has at least as much epidemiological validity as IHME's gaussian, projects we'll cross the upper confidence bound on April 19.

The great irony. Hawaii is the easiest place on Earth to stop a pandemic, but the most vulnerable to a shutdown on travel.

In a just world, the West Coast states would have blocked travellers from east of the Rockies but made a pact with Hawai'i.

that wouldnt have really helped when the first big US outbreak was in WA and then the president unloads a plague ship into CA and lets them wander all around

Profoundly dull


Ok, goon docs, so I seriously over-exerted myself moving this past Saturday on not enough sleep or energy, and immediately afterwards crashed with mild fever & high fatigue. Spent the entire day Sunday and Monday supine struggling to get calories in despite having no appetite to speak of; checked temp regularly and was mostly in the 99s with only one reading over 100, I think. Have felt progressively better since; temp regularized by Wed morning. No respiratory discomfort; no fluish aches; nothing more than the occasional throat-clearing cough—though I have felt a persistent dry tickle high in the back of my throat. Mostly feel fine now; still some residual fatigue; but that's a p common state for me in the best of times.

Does any of this counter-indicate mild roni or should I just assume the worst to be safe? How hardcore should I be about quarantining within the house to protect family, and for how long? Have so far been mostly sticking to isolated spaces and communicating through closed doors; today I did some laundry and just carried a bleach bottle and sprayed down anything I touched.

Also Syd Mead came up with the solution to this whole thing waaay back in the day; more people should have listened to syd mead

The fact is that there's not enough reagents to go around for the standard test. That's why Birx uses the weasel word "capacity" for tests but not actual tests.

Horrible day at the grocery store. We had a bunch of rules on customer conduct to make things safe, but a few customers complained about the restrictions. So head office repealed these restrictions, its just a free for all now. Total chaos, no one knows what to do, morale plummeted. Even the store's second is openly talking about how the company is putting profits ahead of our safety. Someone brought up a walkout, but generally people need to work to survive.

Had a boy and girl come in today that couldn't be more than 6 and 10, telling us they were 10 and 14 (I work with kids a lot normally, they were not as old as they said), said they had to go for groceries alone, in PJs, because their whole family was sick and no one else could go. I dealt with them, and got management involved, as it sounded horrific. I was assured something would be done, but I later saw them walk out with bags of junk food. Another employee told me they helped them shop and pay, and then we just let them walk out of the store and walk home alone. Can't believe that was allowed to happen. The whole situation sounded hosed.

Just kinda haunting me right now.

what country or state was this in?

https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/04/16/could-jacksonville-see-limited-reopening-of-beaches-soon/

quote:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mayor Lenny Curry is encouraged enough by two weeks of data about positive cases of COVID-19 identified in Jacksonville and hospitalizations that he is reasonably confident the curve is flattening. So much so that he announced that Jacksonville’s beaches will reopen for essential activities at 5 p.m. Friday.

As defined in Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Executive Order, essential activities include the following:

Participating in recreational activities consistent with social distancing guidelines
Such as walking, biking, hiking, fishing, running, swimming, taking care of pets and surfing

“This can be the beginning of the pathway back to normal life,” Curry said in a statement late Thursday. “Please respect and follow these limitations. Stay within the guidelines for your safety as well as for the safety of your neighbors.”

In addition to limits on activities, beaches will open from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. each morning and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. each evening. They will remain closed during all other time periods. People at the beach will be swimming and surfing at their own risk.
