I'm going to go out on a limb and say that states and localities that are opening up now are making a mistake.

Is there any data comparing countries about which coronavirus deaths we're considered preventable? Like, deaths of people who were getting medical care but died anyway wouldn't be considered preventable in that way, but someone who died without ever getting treatment would. I assume that on that stat, America completely blows away all the others even more so than the total number of cases.

A friend of a friend is a cop and is going to have to start evicting people like...today. I don't know what to say to my friend about it other than just I wish that it wasn't that way.

There's a warehouse fire the next town over that's been burning for like 36 hours now and there's eye-watering smoke outside. I guess that helps my resolve not to go out, even though Japan doesn't have mandatory restrictions.

Steve Yun posted:I’m told half the people walking around in Tokyo still aren’t wearing masks? Around here, I'd say 80% or so are wearing masks. The ones who aren't, I don't know if they just ran out or if they're just being obstinate. Some old folks are just refusing to adapt to either masks or social distancing. The Abemasks haven't reached us yet, or at least I haven't gotten mine. It sounds like they're having trouble with the distribution, and either way the biggest cities are first priority.

Do other countries have people getting in big groups protesting against the restrictions or is that just an American thing?

In Japan almost everyone is wearing masks, but social distancing started up way later here and it really isn't in place yet, even when it would be easy to do (i.e. not in trains etc). I was at the cellphone shop the other day asking a question about a problem with my account, and the guy who was helping me was wearing a mask but also talking to me 3 inches from my face even though there was almost no one in the store. Eventually I just said I'm okay and left, without really having my question answered. He was a young guy though. Usually when I get that it's from old guys.

I was reading a while ago about how customer service workers in America now have to be health workers too (though without appropriate training or pay of course), and with customers deliberately and sometimes violently working against their own health and the health of the people around them. It's completely hosed up madness but it's so American.

Are masks just symbolic of the whole effort to control the virus, or is there something specific about masks themselves that are driving these people crazy?

It seems to me to be able to abuse customer service staff like that, not only would you have to have never worked that kind of job before, but none of your friends or family had either, or else you'd have empathy for them. Are there really so many people like that?

Jeez that's chilling. The history since that has been made has showed that indeed, Obama did push America too hard, but not for the reasons that says. Rather, just by being black and asking people to accept a black present was too much.

I had no idea that a few months of poor sales (and not at a peak time of the year I assume) was all that stood between a company like JCPenney and bankruptcy. Edit: I guess JCPenney itself was limping to begin with though. Samurai Sanders has issued a correction as of 00:21 on May 16, 2020 |

Of all the people whose consumerism has been lately reduced by the epidemic, I wonder how many of them are thinking "huh, I guess I really just didn't need to go buy things all the time" compared to "oh God I've got to go out and buy more things as soon as possible". I mean, all the worst news from America is the latter, but surely there's a lot of the former too. Unrelated to any of that, my New year's resolution was to not go shopping on weekends just for the hell of it and the current situation sure accelerated that change.

Churches were temporarily undecided about whether they wanted their partitioners to die, but then made a tentative decision against it. Edit: today marks the third straight week of no confirmed new cases in this prefecture, but they're still being selective about who gets tested so who knows. I'm on the subway now and there's a few people here and there without masks but most people are still keeping precautions as much as they can.

Are there statistically fewer out of work GOP voters applying for unemployment help, or is it about the same? Or is it more? I've wondered that from time to time.
