Headline: Getting coronavirus ‘will take 13 years off your life’, UK researchers claim
First line: Getting coronavirus could take as many as 13 years off your life, new research has claimed.
And then of course the article says nothing about a healthy young person losing 13 years of their life (which of course they would never know at this point anyway). It’s all a statistical analysis of number of average years lost per dead person.
The world is flooded with so much bullshit that individuals have to have pretty good reasoning skills just to figure out reality. And even that requires a desire to know what reality is. For most people it’s just way easier to log on to Facebook and gain a sense of community agreeing with someone speaking with authority.
And also, getting coronavirus could take all the years off your life.
Yes
“Some firms are charging 2000-3000”
Meanwhile we are charging 1,000 for a 10,000 loan
Lol
It is absolutely absurd to charge $1000 for a PPP application and every single client you have should fire you. I pay less than that for my federal and state tax returns annually, which are over 100 pages.
More importantly, you need to find another job.
This. Seriously what the actual fuck. And I say this as a guy whose dad’s last career was as a CPA. This is super fucked up.

I’m self quartantining til a vaccine is developed if I can. I’m pretty good at avoiding people if I can.
Not sure yet. We had the first CTF meeting Friday and gave them our document
The boss wants to peruse this weekend just gone by and we have a follow up meeting today
He says he is concerned with employee safety but at the same time he’s claiming we are an essential business and need to be in the office.
We can do 95% of the work we do remotely
So we will see.
The govt here aren’t a bunch of psychos, so I’ll probably just do what they say I can do. Including live poker.
I’m quarantining indefinitely except going to work every day and going to the liquor store three days a week to buy wine and the grocery store twice a week or so.
NHS doctors and GPs in the UK have been sent an alert warning them to look out for a rare but dangerous reaction in children that may be linked to coronavirus infection.
The alert said that in the past few weeks, intensive care departments in London and other parts of the UK have been treating children with a “multisystem inflammatory state” that looks similar to toxic shock syndrome or sepsis.
These young patients of varying ages have had gastrointestinal symptoms – tummy pain, vomiting or diarrhoea – and inflammation of the heart, as well as abnormal blood test results.
This reminds me of when some guy shoots up a mosque or something and says he did it for Trump and Fox just excuses it as “some nut”.
It is relatively easy to do the majority of my job from home. When the entertainment industry starts ramping up I’ll primarily stay here. When shit started to hit the fan but prior to the actual lockdown initiatives in LA, we put our office on a rotating schedule where half of us were home every day to reduce contact. I would guess we’d try something like that when work starts up again - maybe even a little more extreme where most people are home most of their time. We’ll also be able to conduct most meetings and business via phone, video conference, email, etc.
We moved into a new office space last year, and at the time I actually floated the idea of having more of a workshare space where most of the office was essentially common space that people use when they need it. I think that’s what the future of my business will look like, although I sure wish I didn’t have another six years left on a 3000+ square foot lease.
Also, even if business starts up again my kids will be home until camps and schools go back to something approaching normal. And I really doubt that’s happening until the end of the summer at best. So I’ll primarily be stuck here regardless - when my wife’s job tells her it’s time to come back she/we won’t have much choice but for her to go back.
Yes, and now there are (at least) two prevailing realities/sets of facts to live by so no one knows exactly wtf to do.
Homogeneous populations FTW
I’m with you on this. I’m not sure when I’ll feel safe going out again and I may start wearing cheap safety glasses when I have to go to the grocery store. The problem is that our government is giving out information that doesn’t make sense… but most people aren’t doing the critical thinking to see that. Out of ~a million people, they’re saying 1400 have it and there are 40 deaths, which means ~3% die, but you have to look at the number of cases 2-3 weeks ago, which bumps it up to 6-8%. Since we know the real rate should be closer to 1%, it means there’s at least 10,000 cases, and I really wonder if people would take it more seriously if they knew that at least 1 out of every 100 have it.
I can tell that people in my apartment complex are already done with it and are treating it like some kind of work vacation. I’m sure they follow the law in stores and stuff, but they definitely ignore it inside the complex.
Well if I buy a month’s worth of wine it tends to get drank in a lot less than a month, if you follow me. I always buy wine in one bottle increments and then it lasts me a night or two and I don’t overdo it. It’s what I’ve done for years. And I just don’t see going into the liquor store for two minutes to buy a bottle of wine as a significant risk to anyone when I’m wearing a mask and the employees are wearing a mask and I don’t have any symptoms of illness and I live in a county with like 15 confirmed cases.
As far as the grocery store, I probably go every five days or so. That’s about how long stuff like bananas, fresh parsley and green onions last and that’s all stuff I eat every day. Could I go longer? Sure I guess but I again don’t see the point. The risk is minuscule compared to my workplace, which I go to every day. And the risk of my workplace is pretty small as well imo.
I’m not worried about going out. Governor Kemp held a prayer vigil today:
Did they pray that the virus doesn’t kill anyone after their relaunch? Or for the virus never to have existed in the first place and for this to have all been a bad dream?
