COVID-19 (2): Turns out it's going to be pretty bad actually

I usually tip $15-$20.

What is frustrating about the undercounting is they know they are doing it, they know they could and should be counting them and just like in other countries know they will ultimately add them in.

Just from a management standpoint knowing how many people are dying at home is massively important. If medical resources are not capped than people are certainly dying unnecessarily which means messaging must change.

Let’s say 120 D1 teams at 100 young people a team. That’s 12,000. (Throw in some team managers)

50% get the virus. That’s 6,000

0.2% is 12. Probably 10 times that many hospitalized.

12 human sacrifices to college football

We haven’t talked about kids with comorbidities, let alone fat and old coaching staffs, referees, etc.

Scary article. Twice as many 911 calls every day now as compared to before CV-19. More deaths at home than reported CV-19 deaths each day now. City morgues and reefer trucks are nearing capacity. Doesn’t sound like improvement to me.

We will be lucky if it’s only 40%. 14k instead of 10k.

I’d think that we are only counting 40% could be optimistic. 25k instead of 10k.

Well they are paying…

Oh wait never mind. They are literally slaves he wants to expose to death to drive the machine that keeps his Oklahoma McMansion appointed in the style he has become accustomed to.

He is a man, he is 40.

It’s like when someone posts a link to a local news station or newspaper: “Serving Greater Clarkville and Eastern Summerton County”. Well that clears it up!

And in bizarro covid denialist world (1-1 with climate change denial world from what I can gather) NYC is massively overcounting the deaths.

That person had a heart attack and just happened to be also infected with covid. Shouldn’t count! Presumptive - probably just the seasonal flu! Shouldn’t count. What about all the people not getting in car-wrecks right now? We should be deducting them from the total. Etc.

Richard Blumenthal, who wants to legislate away end to end crypto to help law enforcement, none the less is calling out Zoom for claiming they have end to end crypto, when they apparently don’t.

My default assumption on Lynchburg would have been Virginia. Not sure why. Just googled and there is one apparently.

Our elected officials are misinformed, no way!?!

Lynchburg, VA is the home of Liberty University (i.e., Falwell country). That’s probably why most people think of it.

Thoughts? I feel like I’m conditioned at this point to believe that this isn’t actually as charitable of an act as it sounds like.

Yeah, that’s probably it.

A) I’ll believe it when I see it and B) “billionaires shouldn’t exist” is a systemic critique, not a series of individual moral judgements. Are the proposed actions necessary? Then isn’t it damning of the system as a whole that their being carried out is at the whim of some private individual, even if this one time the whimsy is favourable?

Had to catch public transport today.

3 people on the tram. Well spaced out. Then this old lady gets on. Stands right behind me talking on her phone where she announces “I’m on my way to cello practice”

What the actual fuck lady.

Redeeming points for the leopard print.

Confirmed U.S. cases over 400,000 now. Confirmed deaths from COVID about to hit 13,000.

You just made those places up!
