When I was a landlord, one of my handymen would start talking about a maintenance issue with a somber “you better sit down for this” tone .
After 5 minutes of apologetic rambling he’d say “It’ll cost all together about $100.”
And I’m thinking “You’ve already done thousands of dollars of work for me [mostly expected repairs] and you’re making me sweat now about paying $100.”
cancel sports
Cancel golf too.
I mean, did anyone else get it? Do we know that Watney didn’t get it from visiting some bar in South Carolina cause they’re OPEN FOR BUSINESS?
Lol, what cruise line? There aren’t going to be cruises in August. NCL already cancelled everything though October, I’m sure the others will follow. Your patients at best have another cancelled cruise, and at worst just lost the money they put down because the cruise lines are likely going bankrupt. Carnival is already selling off ships.
True infection rates meaning actual new cases / day, or at least adjusted somehow for test availability so that there’s a similar ratio between confirmed cases and infections. I don’t think the gross test numbers tell the whole story–there were obviously a ton of people who were sick who never got tested. I think their positive test rate spiked up into the 60-70% range during the worst of it. Basically thinking of modifying the reported case curve to look more like this:
Which is what I think the Florida curve will look like in reported data, at least until test capacity maxes out.

lol the hits just keep on coming for sports today.
Made my bi-weekly visit to my office today. Re-occupying our space would/will be very easy. The problem is the building common areas: hallways, elevators, and bathrooms. Tenant across the hall from us apparently doesn’t believe in masks. Going to reach out to the building owner but I’m not sure how they’re supposed to enforce it.
Medical/pharmacy stuff is the worst. No matter what the cost, they always go into a whole song and dance about this or that not being covered and how hard they worked and called multiple times and they’re sorry but the insurance company isn’t budging and blah blah blah… “Ok, how much does it cost if I just pay for it?”
After they look at you like you’re from Mars for wondering how much something medical-related actually costs, they go spend a minute punching away on the computer. And I’m like just ballpark is good enough. Is it $10 or $1000? But they can never do ballpark. Then after all their work to find out a price it turns out to be $11.50. JFC we could have settled this 5 minutes ago if you just told me that up front.
I had this argument at my doctor’s office when I was between insurance. They told me over and over I needed valid medical insurance before I saw the doctor. I kept saying I’d pay out of pocket and it seemed like they’d never even heard of that before.
The owner of the building my office is in has a “masks must be worn in any common areas” and my office has a policy that you must wear a mask when leaving your desk.
Not really sure why I posted this because I just realized I haven’t been in the office during business hours for 3 months, and the rest of our building is occupied by labor unions and I don’t think any of them have been in either. So, I actually have no observation on how my office, or building, is enforcing things.
Thanks. I think that’s ticket.
Don’t know the cruise line. I know he took a credit for the cancelled 7-day cruise, but I don’t know if this rebound cruise is from the same line.
You could check it in to the github org – you already have the rights to create a new repo.
More evidence that we should stop testing.
Governor High Pitch with some comforting words today: Not to worry, most of the new cases in these record numbers are younger people so no biggie, hospitals shouldn’t max out and kids are resilient and most aren’t even showing symptoms
Pretty sure like last week he was saying not to worry it’s just nursing homes or something along those lines
Hey, that’s great but China and Italy had this like 7 months ago and the jury’s still out on antibodies
The current USA#1 experiment should at leaat answer whether anitbodies are a thing - must be some NYC residents who fancied Florida for the weekend
Yeah, golf is one of the few professional “sports” that seems could feasibly continue with very little risk to players.
