So I work in commercial real estate. Below is what they think NEW workstations will look like. Not sure if this is an elaborate joke or what.







Someone got paid to do this.

drat if only there was a workspace paradigm with separate space for each worker, maybe with floor-to-ceiling partitions and some way to minimize exposure to passing coworkers

starting to realize whether i die in 30 days or 30 years im going to spend the rest of my life arguing with people who are going to say "not many people even died" because of this stupid numbers fuckingsworth undercounting

it's going to be like your parents insisting we never bombed cambodia or laos, i was alive, i think I would've heard about that on the news

I'm HOPING that post the election we'll be able to look back and go "oh, a lot of people died"

Cause we're loving not gonna be able to until then.

the point of the lockdown and flattening the curve was to get the hospitals ready and we're pretty ready. maybe social distancing should continue in metropolitan areas/hotspots like NYC but in most places it's unnecessary

someone mentioned earlier (today I think) that pneumonia deaths not attributed to COVID-19 are way the gently caress up right now, in addition to the COVID-19 deaths

what's a good source for that kind of data? I haven't seen it posted afaik

I gotta say this whole thing has made me, for maybe the first time in my life, kinda proud of my shithole state, we're actually taking this thing seriously

Yes the people in the only important part of the state are dying so of course, but I'm still proud that we're taking it seriously and getting through this.

that county is so sparse it only amounts to about 608 infected people with it total. with a hospitalization rate of about 11%, that's only 66 people. probably not gonna overwhelm a healthcare system anytime soon

the whole ventilator stats thing both in general and especially for covid is skewed as hell by the fact that old people are the vast vast majority of people who ever get hooked to one and do HORRIBLY in any and all severe illness

young ppl scared of ventilator horror stories designed to make them scared of covid shouldnt be going out and making strict advance directives that will end up with them not getting treatment that could serve a real purpose if they get hit by lightning or a bus or whatever but they should def avoid covid

sorry thats just my advance directive rant

you're arguing against your own point cuz if the ventilators don't work that means having enough of them is less important
