Can’t remember who came up with it but I look at this thread an unhealthy number of times a day and I still think “Jesus that’s a good thread title” every time.

So New York:
A) sucks ass at staying the hell home or
B) kick ass at testing
C) both?
Because it’s a doctor that has read the literature and is explaining it. To a lot of Americans that can’t afford talking to a doctor or that might have a hard time interpreting the data themselves it could be useful.

Adventures in self isolation: somehow neglected to remove some paper before using rice cooker. Rice still turned out fine and didn’t burn house down.

Eh I dunno. They walked it back to “we’re not sure”. The slew of similarly phrased “ibuprofen is totally cool” articles looks a lot like a PR campaign imo.

“The Japan conundrum is just the fact that if you don’t test for it, you’re not going to find a lot of cases,” says Jason Kindrachuk, PhD, an assistant professor of viral pathogenesis at the University of Manitoba.
Kindrachuk isn’t the only one who suspects underreporting. Kenji Shibuya, former chief of health policy at the World Health Organization, told Bloomberg that Japan has either “contained the spread by focusing on outbreak clusters, or … there are outbreaks yet to be found.”
With a population of over 126 million, the country has conducted 32,125 tests over the past month. However, because some people are tested multiple times, Japan has actually only tested 16,484 individuals — or about one test per 7,600 people.
In comparison, South Korea, with a population of over 50 million, seemingly slowed the spread of the virus by testing more than 270,000 people — one test per 185 people — through a well-organized program.
Meanwhile, world class asshat Clay Travis behaving exactly as you’d expect

Ok I’m an idiot.
I bought a digital thermometer on amazon and looks like I didn’t pay close attention and bought at basal thermometer used for tracking ovulation!
It should work fine for normal temp taking right?
PS. I’m not ovulating.

I saw some legal thing that apparently because there was a disclosure he didn’t violate the law.
Hopefully that’s not true, but haven’t looked into it that much.
My dad is a 60 year old construction superintendent with diabetes in Nevada. They are still making him go to work. I’ve talked them out of going anywhere but work, but him still working is worrying. He has 3 weeks vacation saved up. Thinking of seeing if he will use 10 days for things to escalate. Thoughts?
I was just on support chat with Apple. I asked her is he was working from home and she said “not yet”.
Chat support for Apple can’t work from home? Why is that not always a home job!

Law twitter seems to be in unanimous agreement he broke the law, and in complete denial regarding the consequences.
What in the actual fuck.
