for comparison, the us only lost like 405k troops in ww2

we have an outside shot of losing more Americans to this pandemic than we have to every war we've ever fought in.

Alternatively, be happy that people are dying. It's great. Like, pile em high. Whose survival, really, is something you care about? The old people across the street? Your "loved ones"? Random flesh aggregates unable to choose between one head of lettuce and the next?

My neighbor works at a Trader Joes and just had a party with her entire family, maybe 10+ people, that went to 2 in the morning. She is 50+, her husband is a bit older and already showing signs of cognitive decline. They are nice, caring people, with friendly manners and good senses of humor. But it is great that their house will soon be empty, rotting on its foundation, just 100 years after it was constructed.

Nothing matters!

dude a bunch of my students have said that I’m either the only one, or one of two of all their teachers to actually do online class regularly and provide them with help on work. Why wouldn’t I, I’m bored as hell at home.

So in a japanese blog I visit they posted about the insane prices of being treated for corona in japan. Japan has a system where after being treated, the citizen pays 30% of the final cost. Hospitals are owned by the actual doctors instead of profit corporations etc.

The cost was about 170000 yen to the person or about $1600. They are treating it as an insane price. For us that would be nothing, you'd expect to get like 50k bill to you or some bullshit.

yeah I read $1600 and though “that’s probably pretty reasonable” because American healthcare is awesome

I missed the first post-shutdown test in my math class because I didn't know what website it was on. It took me literally two weeks of emailing my teacher everyday asking if I could make it up before I got a response.

The war of southern sedition was the largest mass death event in American history percentage wise, at 2% (at the time). I don’t think we’re going to get close to that here (6.6m).

about between 0.7% and 1%. herd immunity for a thing like this is ~70%, but it doesn't kill kids very much compared to adults. there are 209 million adults, so if 70% of the adults get it and 1% of those die, we'd have a total death count of 1.463 million.

quote:

General Electric Co.'s GE-4.38% Aviation business unit said Monday it is planning "permanent" job cuts that will bring its total workforce reductions to 25% in 2020. GE's stock fell 3.9% in morning trading. GE Aviation said the cuts come as global commercial airline traffic in the second quarter is expected to drop by about 80% from levels seen in early February as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. "Our aircraft manufacturers have announced reduced production schedules that will extend into 2021 and beyond reacting to the projected prolonged recovery," said GE Aviation Chief Executive David Joyce in a business update.
