How long does the flu or whatever else that is comparable last airborne? If this lasts 16 hours in the air, that's insane. No one should be working in the same building ever.

Foreboding considering this guy is a Democrat with deep ties to the tech industry, the one sector of capital that seemed to take threat of this pandemic relatively seriously.

If the tech firms are backing off from stay-at-home orders then I'm not really sure if there is any corporate support for it now.

Tonight is my crack ping moment.
It isn't that often your worst fears are realized.

I cannot keep myself and my mother and brother safe. It doesn't matter I left my job, and we can hide for months eventually it's going to happen

it's about risk mitigation, holding out as long as you can, and making those days you have worth as much as you can make them. No one knows what's going to happen when they get it and we can all hold out hope that there's some medication that will help as a vaccine is a long way out but the chances for one is still there in a while. Holding out as long as you can increases the chances there will be a bed created should one be needed and a vent there should one be needed. Don't let the fear get you even if you're crack pinging. Hold your loved ones tight, make sure you've eaten some food, had a shower, had enough water, and get some sleep if you're able. Life is lovely AF sometimes and this is making it all seem so incredibly worse but keep fighting the good fight but be sure you've taken care of yourself

if there is a single deep rooted ethos shared across all of American capitalism, it’s the tendency to throw away your umbrella when you’re not getting wet anymore. we’re going to open up most of the country, the death rate is going to spike, and we’re going to close again in a hurry.

this doesn't seem like something you could actually prove? or at least it seems like data are so incomplete and the testing used to get current data seems not really accurate enough to support anything outside of "number go up" in an abstract representation of reality

im trying to recommend people to get a car battery maintainer like a cheap ctek charger that will keep the car battery good forever if you even if you dont drive it for a long time

or else since the lead acid battery self discharges over time, especially during summer or hot days, you might get stranded if you ever need it in an emergency after this lock down

also turning the car on and just idling wont actually raise the alternator voltage high enough to charge, you actually need to actively having some load on the engine in order to charge the battery, and the alternator can barely maintain the charge on the battery means getting a charger should keep the battery going for a long while

put fuel stabilizer in the gas tank and hooked up a trickle charger on my car this weekend, after changing the oil. bring on the apocalypse! when this is all over, i'll have a few sweet days of driving through the wastelands while everybody else has to walk

Yep. Was on a call today and my boss said WI is still set to open end of May, but we can expect to come in early because they have so much catching up to do. I do server poo poo. Even when I'm at work im working remotely. None of our poo poo is in our building. It's literally no different than working from home for me. Well, other than all the possible hell that is coming our way.

I remember someone in the primaries thread spent six weeks saying we would get mass riots in 2-3 weeks

Needless to say they were wrong each time, and people who think it's just 2-3 weeks away from now again will be wrong

Mayor Caldwell extended stay at home to the end of May. We still aren't testing enough, but it seems like we're doing everything else right here. It seems that in addition to the advantage of our geographic isolation, having so few white people is another one.

I loving hate Caldwell but I regrettably admit he is doing a very good job responding to the pandemic. We'll see how well things go when this stretches into July. Also I love that Josh Green went rogue to force the out-of-stater quarantine when Ige was repeating the hotel industry talking points.

holy gently caress I hope the cure is smoking because I've tried to quit twice since this all has started and it's not working out like I'd hoped... It's crazy tho, since I've moved out of my other apartment I've not had a single lung issue so I'm quite sure my other apartment had mold or something, I did have two floods so there's that
