Off topic, but serious question. Can you ask your uncle if a) they had a rally cold snap about a week ago (-25C or so), and b) has he noticed a sharp drop in snowshoe hare activity since it warmed up?

bob dobbs is dead posted:Usually the real complicated dealios have more semantics than just "it's a graph and edges are like ports and stuff". They model the whole spatial effects. The biggest dealios basically look like diffusion limited aggregation in affected peeps, with the aggregations in cities That's absolutely not true. The CDC's got a map of the world painted on a gymnasium floor with thousands of mice running about. They infect one watch how it spreads and release the virus in the countries the mice get sick in. It's scientific and poo poo.

No looking good friends. Worst case scenario everything shuts down for a few months and noone interacts socially until the infected die off/get better. Then we deal with flare-ups every few months/years until medicos devise a vaccine for a rapidly mutating flu virus. Maybe this will be an impetus to move into more remote work and teleworking. Which would probably devolve into a more contract gig economy and ah gently caress it take me now coronaplague. E: gently caress you I snipe you sick

A doctor treating victims went to Hong Kong for one night, stayed in a hotel and infected everyone on his floor who then spread it across the world. As a general rule I assume worst case scenarios, plan for that to happen and then try to wander about assuming it'll be mostly not terrible. Glad I don't work in food service anymore. Hail Satan.

Until someone figured out an HIV vaccine. Then HIV is basically relegated to sub populations in third world countries and subpopulations of extremely affluent countries. I bet antivaxxers would be all over an HIV vaccine. Just not for their kids.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Oddly, there were some lessons learned from the Vegas shooting that may end up saving lives here. That was an event that absolutely swarmed hospitals very quickly with critical patients, and they quickly decided to do things like stuff two patients on one ventilator and work out the math so that it could keep both alive. That sounds crazy. How quickly can manufacturers go from order to hospital use with that sort of equipment. Weeks probably?

What are the odds Chinese officials took a long hard look at their population structure, pollution levels, water availability and food production forecasts and decided to let it run its course? Or did they just bungle and underreport numbers because that's just the way things are done?

Staying at a hotel after picking up possible plague carrying foreigners from the airport. I might be doomed but at least I can pinch two rolls of TP before checkout. E: can also confirm Canadian cities less busy. Some popular bars are instituting 80% max capacity rules, periodically spraying down bathrooms with disinfectant and asking patrons not to share appetizers. Brave measures indeed.

They just closed the ski hill in town. Probably for the best but tourism and hospitality counts for a suicidal percentage of the towns income. All the ski bums, servers and hotel staff are going to be even broker than usual and have nothing to do. String of infectious house parties before a mass migrate back to Australia and the UK. Like a stupid std riddled plague crusade.
