of course, NYC has population density like nowhere else in the USA, so I guess maybe it won't get like it is there anywhere else?

Probably not as fast as them, but if R0 is higher than 1 anywhere it will eventually grow to the same quantity of people.

Idk dude it's possible to crochet tighter than that but it would probably be a lot less breathable

Like here's a Cthulhu I made:



(I am a knitter not a crocheter)

Like I said, sewing cotton fabric would be preferable (and is in fact what I'm currently rocking for a DIY facemask)

Kinda wondering why it hasn't exploded here in mississippi yet, where we have done basically nothing and are about to reopen everything. There's like 1000 cases and 112 deaths or something total, which seems really low considering we're right next to new orleans

NYC has triple the population of the state of mississippi but it's all in one little area. Even 1/3rd the deaths that NYC has had in MS would be horrific

i'm still trying to figure this out. i'm on ssi because i have ptsd, and i haven't heard poo poo. i'm going to buckle down and make a phonecall to the SSA on monday or tuesday and see.

if you don't find out by then i'll make sure to mention how it goes itt

If you are relying on the SSA to send out the payments, good luck, they are far less competent than the IRS.

the first thing you learn at sea is that things never HAVE to stop, the weather never HAS to get any better, the machinery never HAS to stop breaking down in time for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief and get a few hours of sleep, you have to work constantly to stay prepared for the worst that you can't control and on top of the worst things you CAN control and that it's a constant effort

and a society just can't have priorities that line up with this AT ALL under our brand of capitalism, to the point that most landsmen assume that things have to get better after a few news cycles

idk why yall are hating on these. theyre cheap, washable, reusable (you knit a pocket on the inside and stuff coffee filters in there like a respirator cartridge), easy to sanitize (iron them), you can crank em out without a sewing machine, they keep your face warm in winter, and they dont have the N95 problem where the elastic straps wear out
yeah stuffing a shop towel in there would be just as good as any homemade mask, but i've had to wear a mask for work for the last two weeks and a wool filter receptacle would not be pleasant

I agree, it's fun to talk about and it isn't like our posts here on this forum are as bad as the president loudly and repeatedly suggesting people take some random unproved drug. Worst case some smoker goons keep on puffing. I'm concerned that no one will ever do further study though and there will have been people who were told to stop smoking because of the pandemic and did , and then subsequently got much sicker than they would have if they hadn't gotten that advice. Both hypotheses, smoking good or smoking bad, are completely unproven but for whatever reason the "smoking bad" argument is just the default and everyone has to work to disprove it and be extra careful.

Yeah, let's see what happens. You're probably right about this information being suppressed. It's interesting to discuss, but hard to draw any concrete conclusions from. But why not continue discussing it?

Not at all, the air gets trapped in the Fraser Valley by the mountains and there's bad smog in the summer. If it didn't rain so much it would be worse than LA.

I live in Melbourne now that is twice the population and the air quality is way better.

Mississippi has like 4,000 cases right now not 1,000. The only places with less than 1,000 in the IS are the ones like Montana with really low population.

Also: if a state isn't taking prevention seriously its probably not taking testing seriously either. The only way you're going to get an accurate idea of how bad this was for the South or the Interior West is by checking mortality rate increases compared to last year.
