For you guys doing work: video/slides from presentation at MSRI workshop.
Michelin is such a joke.
Sounds like what someone from LA would say

Clear, Consistent Messaging
President Trump and his closest advisers have repeatedly contradicted the scientific evidence, and even themselves, on the severity of the pandemic and the best ways to respond to it. They’ve sown confusion on the importance of mask wearing, the dangers of large gatherings, the potential of untested treatments, the availability of testing and the basic matter of who is in charge of what in the pandemic response.
That confusion seems to have bred a national apathy — and a dangerous partisanship over public health measures — that will be difficult to undo.
Smarter Shutdowns
In places like Melbourne, Australia, and Harris County, Texas, health officials have created numerical and color-coded threat assessments that tell officials and citizens exactly what to do, based on how extensively the coronavirus is spreading in their communities. The highest alert levels call for full-on shelter in place, while the lowest call for careful monitoring of high-risk establishments.
Better Use of Data
As Dr. Tom Frieden, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has noted: The United States has a glut of data and a dearth of information.
Testing, Tracing, Isolation and Quarantine
The most consistent mantra of experts trying to get the coronavirus pandemic under control has been that the nation needs much better testing, tracing, isolation and quarantine protocols. Despite examples across the globe for how to achieve all four, the United States has largely failed on these fronts. Testing delays make contact tracing — not to mention isolation and quarantine — impossible to execute.
Seems like every year they get caught giving some restaurant 2 stars that isn’t even open anymore. Clearly phoning it in in a lot of places. Also fine dining is stupid.
Cancer, heart attacks, strokes, car accidents etc. aren‘t highly contagious.
Michelin is stupid. Fine dining is awesome sometimes.
Whoa - Stanford reverses course and says undergraduates will be online.
Why does he have a mic running down his leg, trying to catch a juicy fart on tape?
He has a mic wire running down his leg. The wire must be attached to a mic to pick up audio. Generally, mics are there to pick up an actor’s speech, though I confess I’m not familiar with what he was filming at the time of the picture, so it could have been a fart mic.
Non-economic tragic aspects of covid:
- 200k or so deaths
- almost all of them dying alone with at best one visit on their last day of life
- barely able to grieve the dead w/o risk of more illness and death
- some % of the dead were infected by someone who knows they caused their loved one’s death
- long term lung/heart/organ damage in some unknown % of cases
- a generation of traumatized frontline healthcare workers
Number of deaths are just part of the story.
My mom is probably going to Denver at the end of the month for various reasons. My defacto sister lives in Denver and is encouraging me to come. I probably will drive there and make a little camping vacation out of it. But I’m not telling anyone I’m coming until the last minute. If I say I’m going now, then of course my mom will come.
I don’t want even a hint of responsibility for my Mom doing something riskier than she would normally do. That would destroy me if she got sick. It would be horrible as is obviously. But if I somehow contributed to the situation I’d never get over it.
Wonder if anybody else knows someone experiencing this. I mentioned before that my BiL was diagnosed a couple weeks ago. He was texting with my wife today and told her that while hes feeling better, he gets short of breath within seconds of doing activities he would have normally done fine with before. Moving bags up stairs or going for a short walk.
In addition, he told her he is having visual hallucinations, seeing blueish shadow people who aren’t there who then stare at him as though he is the one out of place.
Anybody know anyone else experiencing auditory/visual hallucinations?
Chris Cuomo reported having hallucinations when he had the virus
He probably mistook his brother doing a halfway decent job for once as being an obvious fantasy.
we already had someone die because of a coach and lol nothing happened to the coach
My friend’s roommate said he saw his dead relatives on his worst night.
I had this as a symptom of pneumonia about a year ago. It’s weird how you can feel almost normal, but actually be incredibly sick.
