I wonder, what with states facing some serious funding crush and the death rates going up, how long will it takes before they realize it's easier to just drop dead bodies in the dumpster and toss them up on top of landfills? After all, there's already a operation in place, so why pay for an redundant job that's basically the same thing when you could just streamline both things and save some $$$?

The headline makes it seem like they see this as good news. Didn’t Spain show a 5% infection rate and we all laughed because it showed that they’re hosed?

Hancock County TN just got its first case. This county is rural and tens of miles away from anything. There's literally nothing there so no one's traveling there. The people who live there are also too poor to travel anywhere else. This is the tip of the iceberg and I predict TN is totally hosed now.

My parent's county in West Virginia finally moved from 1 case to 3 so I feel like that's probably a harbinger of bad things to come.

Yeah but LA never got hosed so it could be a good sign the strain is less bad or something it's probably just means the tests are lovely and either Spain is higher, LA is lower, or some combination of the two

It feels like we're in a weird inbetween here. If say Illinois defaults on its debts, then what? You can't move Chicago or repossess a river. All the buildings and people there will continue to be there.

I'm not an attorney so I don't really see what functionally happens in that case, unless it's just paper changing hands and the Illinois treasurer just turning his pockets inside out and shrugging.

Probably the same thing that happened in Puerto Rico. The state goes into receivership and a bunch of unelected bean counters from far away come in and decide all monetary policy.

But who would do it?

It's not going to be China, it won't be the Feds (maybe?). There's no larger empire to put the boot down on the neck of the interior US.

Even a fed policy would be at risk of being dissolved whenever a popular politician felt pressure to do so or it became a less lucrative grift for their class contemporaries.

i mean, we're basically talking about a bailout, right? someone to inject cash or collateral now, to keep things afloat in the short term, and become the benefactor of long term revenues. we've already been doing that for roads and utilities and poo poo for decades.

i can easily envision a fuzzy-yet-undeniable bi-partisan effort to crowd china out of that buyers' market. that means there's more on the table for the rest of international capital to snatch up.

this is the same, only more

Probably a private agency appointed by the Feds or it would be given to the Federal Reserve.

Neat, I was a part of this study.

I guess they might retest us every month and possibly send us at home kits once they roll them out.

Not sure what the results mean yet but with more data we might be able to glean something.
