Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

there's a bunch of reasons why American racing is conservative, but the biggest thing to point out to someone not American is that racers at the top level don't get there in the same way as they do, say, Formula 1

Formula 1 sees a bunch of politics play into advancing to the top level, American racers tend to get at least part of the way through individual performance and personal finance

this tends to favor suburban and rural people who either own or are born into a family with mechanical aptitude and personal wealth, and those people tend to be conservative

Things are going pretty well here in Australia, we've only had 6 COVID-19 related deaths for the entire country in all of May and we've had less than 100 in total since the start of the pandemic. The daily toll never got higher than 8 deaths.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/australia/

We're still getting minor outbreaks here and there (they just temporarily closed down 12 McDonalds restaurants in my state after an asymptomatic driver who'd made deliveries to all those sites tested positive) and we've already rolled back a lot of the lockdown precautions. It was a nice sunny day yesterday here in Victoria and I could hear a lot of socializing and partying going on around my neighbourhood and my housemates even had friends come over and visit. It feels like things are starting to get back to normal.


Sjs00 posted:

Oh well then I agree, rent and mortgage forgiveness as well as universal healthcare and such would of course be better than flooding hospitals. But that's the opposite of FYGM, and thus not ever going to happen. It'd be nice though.

We got a version of it here in Australia with governmental rent & mortgage relief programs and even the banks were offering mortgage & loans freezes/deferments. The government also immediately rolled out a $750 stimulus payment to people on unemployment and pushed through legislation on wage support for small businesses, increasing unemployment payments and streamlining the unemployment payments application process.
(They also screwed up a bunch of other stuff in their pandemic response, they weren't terrible overall but they also weren't as good as New Zealand's government)

Up to a fifth of patients with Covid-19 in several hospitals contracted the disease over the course of the pandemic while already being treated there for another illness, NHS bosses have told senior doctors and nurses.

Some of the infections were passed on by hospital staff who were unaware they had the virus and were displaying no symptoms, while patients with coronavirus were responsible for the others.

The figures represent NHS England’s first estimate of the size of the problem of hospital-acquired Covid-19, which Boris Johnson last week said was causing an “epidemic” of deaths. In a national briefing last month on infection control and Covid-19, NHS England told the medical directors and chief nurses of all acute hospitals in England that it had found that 10%-20% of people in hospital with the disease had got it while they were inpatients.

So my question is does stay at home come back at some point? Next winter once this thing has killed a million Americans?

Probably not officially. Official lockdown means more stimulus payments and unemployment payments and stuff, meanwhile at least 10% of the population will immediately start protesting if they try it. Besides, if it has killed a million americans that means more than half the population will probably already have had it and recovered, and they won't want to stay home when they aren't even at risk.

Unofficially consumer confidence will be in the dumpster and a big chunk of the service industry and tourism will go out of business. Certainly foreigners won't want to go vacation in the Great American Plaguelands for a couple years.

There are numerous studies that suggest if 80% of people wear a mask in public, then COVID-19 transmission could be halted. Until a vaccine or a cure for COVID-19 is discovered, cloth face masks might be the most important tool we currently have to fight the pandemic.

I really want an american mall to try this.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/coronavirus-thailand-malls-reopen-1.5573664

quote:

The mall experience, however, may not be as carefree as it was before the virus, with measures instituted to reduce the danger that the malls will become new infection hotspots.

Thermal scanners check temperatures for signs of fever and each shopper must pass through a disinfectant mist at every entrance. Everyone must wear a mask and keep it on throughout their stay. No crowding on the escalators, as people must keep a two-step distance from those in front of them.

More controversially, shoppers must use their smartphones to register electronically when entering and leaving a mall, and when entering and leaving individual stores. If someone later falls ill, this stored data will be used to trace and contact anyone who may have been in contact with them at the mall.
