COVID-19 MAY 2020 USA CUM DEATHS GUESSING GAME
Guess how many cumulative deaths we have on worldometer's COVID-19 report for May 31st for the USA. The closest guess gets the satisfaction of being smarter than a bunch of idiot epidemiologists. If you are dead on May 31st, you may not redeem this prize. The guessing window closes at +07:00 GMT on May 2nd.

Tricky, will testing pickup when the reality sinks into the most murcin brain? Or will numbers be even further surpressed due to the impending election??

Lol, 110,000.

Everything and everyone at every level is so loving dumb. How the gently caress was Australia spared from this?

Seems to be

a) copy over NZ's shoulder
b) get lucky
c) leadership so embattled over the loving mess of the fire season they had to listen to experts

But don't worry! They're using this time to air dirty laundry and further gently caress over workers.

what the gently caress is a job agent

Under our leading neolib light we started a system where we privatised unemployment. So if you're unemployed a company gets paid to sit on their arse and talk condescendingly to you once every few months for 10 minutes.

Sometimes they make you attend a course on how to write a resume, or how to do airport baggage handling because there might be 3 of these jobs coming up?

What they don't do is:
Get you a job
Help get you a job
Support you

What they do is:
Collect millions per year from the government
Hire staff from the long-term unemployed pool and then don't train them to make the numbers look good
Let staff go quickly to churn the long term unemploymed pool to keep numbers good

It's a wonder of modern neoliberal government social services :blessed:

The definition of chud is someone you disagree with and you want to look down upon, and Aussies definitely fit that

Australia is absolutely chud, but also

Why do people think reopening after a real lockdown is suicide? Like if you have any meaningful testing and tracing congratulations, you won, it will be extinct in a few months there.

It's not, but it'll creep back up and we'll be bouncing up and down for months. Just trying to be sympathetic.

Also, our track and trace effort was an app that simultaneously only stored data on the phone and had an AWS hosting element, while also needing to be on in the foreground to work properly. So, uh, yeah

That was definitely dumb but it's not the only track and trace effort, to be fair. Victoria alone has something like over 1000 people all up working in contact tracing and is still going to expand it further, I think. I mean I still think reopening now is dumb, but it's nowhere near comparable to the situation that the US or other countries are in.

Oh absolutely. Even Queensland is relatively all over it - the chud populations aren't really the issue, its the whole failed state thing I guess.

Most people in this thread are pretty on top of how well the USA is handling the roni. Guess who's looking to get tips on how to follow in their footsteps? If you guessed Australia step up and collect your slave wages and roni package.
