You should add a column for average amount of exposure time. Office - 8-9 hours, concert/sporting event - 4 hours, etc.
JT,
This is truly a LMGTFY moment.
Well yesterday I learned that doing this while itâs hot out = exploding hand sanitizer :(
âLuckilyâ its still fucking snowing here!

My feelings on everyone eager to OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Me likely. Ventilation seems to be the forgotten mitigation strategy. Businesses need to make airflow vertical around individuals (presumably down) and either fresh or filtered air
A little plexiglass sheeting and seems like that is fairly doable.
Horizontal flow seems like a big no-no.
Some on the list probably have much higher rates of inhale/exhale like outdoor concert. Also probably very positional depending on wind direction. You could be downwind of 100 other people easily. Very light breeze and you exposure on the east side of the crowd could be an order of magnitude than the west side.
ITT people assume USA#1 will be the only country in the line for the vaccine if / when one becomes available
IIRC the US has no interest in the Oxford Vaccine (Astrozeneca not Gilead?). US is also not contributing to the world covid Vaccine Research so would assume US citizens at the end of any line if they find it first too. WHO VaccinesâŚno US funding there either.

Coming for you rural AmericaâŚ
I would clarify that Trump has no interest on behalf of America. Hopefully when its ready uncle Joe can get us some. Shoot me up with that sweet Brit vaccine anytime.
Otherwise it will be time to commando raid Ottawa.
Seriously I am worried that we will be given Trump Brand Vaccine consisting of diluted bleach (diluted cause itâs cheaper).

Ice Cream, U Scream
US ice cream shop closes one day after reopening
An ice cream shop in Massachusetts closed its doors one day after first reopening for business because customers refused to follow social distancing measures and abused staff.
âNow I open the doors to a whole new world, with gloves and masks and weâre running around like chickens, and people are like whereâs my ice cream?â Polar Cave Ice Cream Parlour owner Mark Lawrence told WFXT-News in Cape Cod.
âIâm not a trauma center, itâs ice cream!â
Customers had been asked to place their orders at least an hour in advance but most refused, he said. Some used offensive language against a 17-year-old employee causing her to quit at the end of her shift.
The shop reopened on Sunday after an outpouring of support from the community.
The coronavirus death toll in Massachusetts is at nearly 5,000. There are more than 77,000 cases in the state.

A lot of people here would probably say it would serve the US right if it found itself last in the queue, unable to buy or threaten its way to the front.

Really this.
The spectacle of seeing pampered Westerners distraught at not being able to frivolously fritter money away as much as usual has been quite something.

I think you are wrong to believe that people need to assess risk reward on the same level that you do. Some of that is because I just donât believe that a lot of people are smart enough. I think we need to provide people with powerful heuristics so that they can come to mostly the same decisions. âTrust the expertsâ has become less powerful as a heuristic because Republicans have eroded our faith in experts and institutions with anti-elitist rhetoric.
I find your thought process troublesome because weâre in this mess (by which I mean the Trump adminstration) due to sheep who think they are good at critical thinking. We should be encouraging them to think less, not more.

The trajectory for the US is still trending downward from ten days ago (blue line). As things open up, we will see over the next two weeks whether things get worse and the orange line shifts up.
