Skypie posted:my wife's first day back to work was yesterday. their store isn't open to the public yet, they're just basically catching up on 2 months of price markdowns, reorganizing the store, installing the plexiglass at the registers, and marking the aisles to be one-way. apparently at least 5 people tried to pull the sliding doors apart to get in the store despite there being huge NOT OPEN signs posted, and when management went to tell them "hey, we aren't open so you can't come in" the people started screaming and swearing. Hahaha, your wife is going to get murdered by a chud who is mad that isles are one way. USA is so broken.

In all seriousness, that's a genuine concern I have after the news reports of a couple violent incidents spawning from attempts at maintaining minimum safety standards in retail places  I've told her to quit or ask for a leave of absence or something if their first couple days of public opening are insane

Stereotype posted:Hidden behind all the recent "opening up with apprehension and caution" headlines is that there is a huge unavoidable catastrophic problem with not picking a single strategy: nothing will work unless we do it united. This is one specific instance where individualism cannot be tolerated if the end goal is to make things better. Clearly there is a political dispute about what to do right now, but "have people deny that there is a virus or threat and continue as normal" is completely incompatible with "people stay home because there is a threat and going out will endanger them while worsening the problem." If you try to split the middle then you get either a ruined economy AND maybe a deadly spreading virus too and that's it. There is no way that the middle appeasement route ends up with a good situation for anyone, you have to pick one and get everyone to do it and, if your theory of the crisis was correct, you get a good outcome. Our current strategy has no possible way of being positive at all and will be both a massive economic catastrophe as well as a horrorshow of death. Don't forget how many people voted for Trump as a "protest vote against the system", self-destructive contrarianism is part of the national identity now.

Australia finally got antibody tests and there's been millions sold/distributed to hospitals and clinics already, but the national regulator is only just getting around to checking if they work and so far they've all proving to be worthless: quote:The first results of that testing were released on Monday. The [Doherty Institute] found the first two products tested failed so comprehensively they should not be used to diagnose acute COVID-19 infection. quote:The Age revealed on Tuesday that the federal government has received official advice that the 1 million antibody tests it purchased are not fit for purpose. The government has repeatedly refused to say how much it paid for the tests, or who they were purchased from.

Antibody tests weren't supposed to be used for diagnosing COVID-19 in the first place so I'm not sure why they are surprised by this.

Mons Hubris posted:How do they know what the actual percentages were without having an accurate test to run behind the inaccurate one? Pretty sure the problem with accuracy when mass testing is scale (particularly since everything is being rolled out so quickly, and companies are jumping into the mix with poorly designed tests). In a lab setting with enough researchers and enough time I'd imagine there's a much higher degree of accuracy than a thumb prick test; they often use arterial blood or plasma as well.
