Remember how Thursday's new detected cases for the US was the first time they'd exceeded 40,000 in one day? Well Friday's results smashed through that and came within spitting distance of 50,000 cases: That's an increase of 47,341 cases in just one day! It took the US 19 days to get from just under 2 million cases to 2.5 million on Thursday but if they stuck to the current rate they'd go from 2.5 million cases to 3 million in just 10 days. (They won't stick to the current rate, it'll probably happen in less than 10 days.) But the good news is ..... uh .... Brazil is no longer #1 in daily infections? big cummers ONLY posted:I exploded after getting out of the shower today. I told my girlfriend that she can break up with me if it bothers her, but I am not going back to loving work. It's the state Department of Public Health and no one is temperature checking, no one is wearing masks, no one is social distancing. I'm the only motherfucker in there with a mask on. I am surrounded by chuds. My boss verbally admits another spike is coming, but STILL WANTS EVERYONE BACK IN THE OFFICE NOW. Free to join us in the CSPAM coronavirus thread, pretty much everyone there is at the exact point you are or even beyond it and we'll help you maintain that rage so you don't waver and go back to your job. If you need advice on getting a med cert to get out of work or anything like that they're probably your best bet for that as well.

This has been making the rounds and it’s some nice schadenfreude https://www.cbsnews.com/news/starbucks-karen-san-diego-barista-43000-dollars-tips-mask-encounter/ quote:When Amber Lynn Gilles expressed her indignation over a Starbucks worker's suggestion that she follow the company and county's public health mandate by wearing a face mask, she likely had no idea how profitable it would prove — for the barista she blasted. So an entitled white lady gets owned on social media and the kid she tried to shame gets cash. Good. The real juicy stuff is the lady herself. Not posting a link here but her Facebook page reveals her to be EXACTLY the kind of horrible person you think. For instance: Too stupid to understand how to make it private Barely coherent English Yoga instructor Energy healer Anti-vaxxer White supremacist It’s simply breathtaking how she exemplifies literally every disgusting trait a modern American could have. Oh, and she wants to sue to get a cut of the kid’s gofundme money

I know sheriffs are locally elected, but does the governor or AG have any sort of oversight to discipline them for dereliction of duty like they’re doing now? What the gently caress do you even do? “You swore an oath to protect public safety and uphold lawfully issued mandates. Your refusal to do this for political reasons shows you are unfit to carry out your duties and as such are immediately relieved of your office.”

Untrustable posted:I have to seriously consider whether I want to quit my job. I've been there for almost a decade. I'm high up-ish. I like my coworkers. I detest the petulant, spoiled, lazy, dumb patrons at the casino. An ounce of empathy from them or my higher-ups would make a world of difference. I pushed for tighter restrictions and better health and safety precautions and got promised them, but now that the BIG boss went back to the head office, his assistant boss is trying to pull back on the commitment to safety. We need to shut down. Furlough me as long as needed. I'll come back. I've worked through this whole thing so far save two weeks. No hazard pay, no raises, took a pay cut. For a tribe of less than 1,500 they're pretty fuckin cavalier about this thing. Their elders are in the casino and they tell them they don't have to wear masks, or distance, or get temp-checked. Elders are held in high regard! I don't get it I don't loving get it. I've been interested in your posts because I work on the tribal government side for the tribe that owns Foxwoods in CT. Tribal Council fought with the governor to open the casino on June 1, earlier than other businesses, because they were losing millions weekly. They basically said that they're a sovereign nation so, ultimately, they'll do whatever the gently caress they want. Normally, I think that attitude is cool as hell but right now, er, not so much. I know this will probably shock you but the mostly pointless white collar government office workers (like me) don't have to go back until July 6. Also, they're laying off way less of us than the casino employees. Because we must preserve the jobs of people who spend most of their workday looking at their phones at all costs. They have only have 700 adult tribal members (1000 total) and Elders are treated as a special class to the point where we put a little "e" next to their name on internal lists so that we know to treat them with special deference. I have no trouble whatsoever believing that they are letting the elders do whatever they want without question in the casino while trying to enforce the rules for everyone else. My boss is an elder and...she acts like it. Anyway, I'm never loving going back.

Antigravitas posted:I'm not clicking on a yahoo link, but "zombie cells" are how viruses propagate in general, so…eh? Not all viruses - and even those that use filopodia or tubules will still rely on virions making it through the cellular membrane as the primary mechanism (like the ACE2 trickery of SARS-CoV-2). But the "zombie cell" thing isn't really that special. Hijacking the existing cellular architecture, to which these "tentacle"-like filopodia belong (they're pretty normal on many cells) is just one of the many messed up techniques available to a virus. One could even say it would be surprising if this wasn't a feature of SARS-CoV-2.

The problem is that NO ONE other than employees are following safety practices. Management doesn't want us to "inconvenience" the patrons by making them follow very simple rules. I just don't understand the disconnect between "our elders, last fluent speakers of our dying language, forbearers of the tribe's successes" with "The safety of our elders does not matter, along with the safety of everyone else. Die. We hate having employees and our elders. Die."

Okay so, a case fatality rate - "case" meaning "you are sick enough for us to notice that you have the virus" - of 5% means that if half of infections are asymptomatic, the infection fatality rate is 2.5%. And if 80% of people who get it are asymptomatic, IFR = 1%. Where the gently caress did the CDC get that number of ~0.2% IFR then? And does this suck as much as I'm suggesting here or am I oversimplifying somehow? Maybe not everyone with symptoms counts as a "case"? Anyway, still sucks. lmao

I've begun writing off my family as they've begun mocking public health measures. "Unfriend me if you'd actually wear a mask!" Okay I loving will. Go build yourself a loving echo chamber of conspiracy theorists and "spiritual thinkers" to reinforce your maliciously ignorant loving opinions. Endanger the ones you love because you saw a "news" article where an unnamed doctor made a bunch of claims with no citations. I'm about loving done with people. This pandemic is fuelled entirely by ignorance and pride. I despair for the future of humanity, there's no hope.

Having a case requires testing and confirmation, so IFR includes untested positive cases as well as asymptomatic cases. The CDC believes the US has 10x more infections than we've been able to test for. Because of the testing issues CFR mostly refers to "sick enough to go to the ER," not "sick and showing symptoms."
