Welp, finally splurged on a 3m 7503 with a few sets of p100 7093b cartridges after seeing this. Can't wait to freak out stupid people desperately grasping for normalcy when I do errands.

getting inured to these things to where you dont freak out is conditioning you to yourself die, see the mv estonia

The Korean ferry disaster is another good example of how people will ignore disaster as long as someone with authority is telling them everything is fine Admittedly it was mostly kids and there were a lot of South Korean cultural issues at play in that situation, but there are certainly parallels to what's going on in the US right now.

The water is at our ankles right now.

Wife had (virtual) parent teacher conferences tonight

One of the moms talked about how her son recovered from COVID but then got some triple bacterial infection due to a weakened immune system and that's why he's been out for the last week. And her husband is still sick with lung issues from mid September, may be permanent.

Also found out her district's policy is that unless you can printt you had maskless contact with a given student for more than 15 minutes at less than 6 feet, it doesn't count as a contact and you won't be informed of any positive tests.

At least they're remote for two more months.

i wish the ascertainment bias were a slider, i honestly don't think we're missing 80% of cases anymore except in areas where the corpses are piling up out behind the hospital, the deaths don't really support that anymore

lol that nyc number must be weighted for the fact that the NYPD would statistically shoot or maim at least 3 people of a 10-person gathering before anyone got infected

I noticed that the chart for (weekly averaged for smoothing) daily deaths in illinois started right around the beginning of the stay at home order in early March , which was 3/20 from what I remember. By 4/15 it was averaging 80 deaths a day, and peaked on 5/15 at about 150

We are currently above 80 deaths a day (i.e. where we were 3 weeks after lockdown) and shooting upwards. Schools had closed even before the stay at home order, but remain open, while restaurants/bars are tent dining only.

No one is panicking and I'm not clear why. There's no real way to project how bad things will get because these curves can and do peak due to behavior (arizona, florida, maybe some of the eu states that are dropping now) but good Lord

The big problem with covid is, as the healthcare system collapses, it's going to kill these old chuds without the healthcare system being able to extract their savings from them, so the young chuds in the flyovers will actually see a 6-figure windfall

Amazing fact: Despite working in a healthcare facility, I have somehow managed to not have contact with someone with COVID.

In the last week I've had three exposures to COVID because of the lovely testing.

There truly is a perfect dril quote for every occasion.

This is like America's Chernobyl, except instead of correcting course after a short period we're just in total denial about months later. It's like if the Russians had built a roller coaster around the open reactor core and people were playing in the graphite ash to prove that it can't hurt you.

quote:

WASHINGTON (WJLA) — With multiple pro-Trump rallies planned for the weekend, D.C. Police have announced street closures on Saturday and restricted parking beginning Thursday night.

Upset that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the president and vice-present elect, the groups are staging protests in numerous cities to support President Trump’s claim that he won the election.

Promoters of the “Million MAGA March” are saying “Millions of Trump Supporters will be marching from the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. to the White House on Saturday November 14.”

One rally has been called for Saturday at noon on Freedom Plaza, two blocks from the White House.
Others are promoting a “Stop the Steal” rally.
Police say if they come, their guns are not welcome in D.C.

As of Thursday, The National Park Service does not list any of those rallies as having requested First Amendment permits to gather or march.

I'm sure everyone will be wearing a mask

so do these governors, like, not have the power to propose, draft, and implement legislation to restrict activities that meaningfully increase the risk of transmission, or is this purely meant to deflect blame for them opening 'er up at the demand of businesses
