shovelbum posted:people are taking the slight loosening of restrictions to mean "go whole hog, the cops are on our side!" along party lines, they're packing into anything open like sardines in record numbers, its not like anything in history lmao I had to make my weekly trip early today and the store was a ghost town lol, my gym announced it was opening on the 1st and then said actually they're thinking about it. Something like 80% of the country wants the quarantine to continue, it's popular and polling also shows most are hesitant about resuming old habits anytime soon We aren't some unique breed of human, in my town of 80k there's probably 1k total people who are fired up to get back to normal because they're rentier class scum or brainwashed or economists, so they will pile into the first restaurant to open up because they're bored, but they are by no means the majority in most areas If this wasn't the case we'd still be in exponential growth

twoday posted:Yeah except this time instead of rats it will be cats as the secondary reservoir of potential mutation and infection. ferrets are used as a sample species for human respiratory diseases because they're so similar to humans, and minks are closely related to ferrets, so get ready for all cats, minks, monkeys, and ferrets to be a permanent endemic reservoir!

twoday posted:
One of the first examples in my linear algebra textbook is about this. The cyclical increase/decrease pattern in populations is inevitable if you have certain unstable systems, like a predator/prey system. As predators increase, prey go down until they can't anymore, then the predators dieoff, then the prey come back, etc. On a graph with both populations being an axis, it's such a cyclical system that the current data point tends to move in a literal circle over time. Rotation is the same as exponentiation in matrix algebra, so the problem is solved by multiplying in the same change matrix over and over onto the current population number matrix.

I wouldn't call it a sham. Dutch defense isn't really used by grandmaster chess players sure but its pretty effective at the lower levels and grandmaster tactics happen in fads and trends anyway so you shouldn't base everything off them as a be all end all.

hallebarrysoetoro posted:its that people aren't trained, aren't used to wearing them, they're ineffective at filtering a virus out, and they're unhygienic We encourage people to wear masks to limit how far roni blows out of their roni hole. It’s the polite thing to do. Not everyone is going to wash their hands properly, is encouraging hand washing hygiene theatrics too? hallebarrysoetoro posted:i don't disagree with any of that but telling people to toss a mask on and have at it is counterproductive and theatrics over substance, if there's political capital to be spent it would have been better using it on food distribution or something lol

hallebarrysoetoro posted:like do you think people are going home and sterilizing them with uv rays or steam too? or are they slapping them immediately back on and letting any ronis that did get captured by a fiber to then be inhaled later lmfao what the gently caress are you talking about? we made a dozen masks and any time we go out and use them, they immediately go in the laundry. re-using it without washing it makes it pointless.

literally every time I try to call my parents to talk they're out at the store (together) without masks. my dad told me he would get arrested before anyone forced him to wear a mask.m their power went out for four hours today so their first instinct was to go to the grocery store. now both of them are short of breath and they're blaming it on pollen.

"most of the ones you can get flick out so you have to make sure your hand is out of the way." dad isn't that just a switchblade? "I mean I guess but that's kind of a hokey word for it..." it's cool it's legal because he's a retired fed.

uggy posted:you just said it was maybe the solar cycle lol I said that I was repeating a theory I read in a book, which was proposed by some people (who are not me) as a possible explanation for the ten year frequency of the plague because solar cycles have been noted to impact rodent population levels. I also believe I described it as *checks notes* ...ah yes, “batshit crazy.” They don’t seem to know, and neither do I, but there is some interesting evidence for it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19426078/ https://www.uqar.ca/uqar/recherche/unites_de_recherche/chaire_biodiversite_nordique/publications/msc_klvana_2002.pdf twoday has issued a correction as of 05:49 on Apr 28, 2020 |
