Which tells us precisely nothing e.g. France and Spain not even including dead people in nursing homes. Too many deaths to accurately count.
When it’s all over, we can compare curves that might actually mean something
But, I definately get your point that it would be great to know where this is heading
Nobody get excited about 2 days please. Minimum of 3. There is all kind of biases*.
*biases as a scientist would use. Anything that tends to vary due to some factor (often unknown) that is not generally acknowledged in the data set. For example a particular busy hospital may not report timely numbers but catch up after a couple of days.
Slow pony
If I recall correctly, Obama went on TV repeatedly calling Ebola “African Aids” and reminding everyone that it wasn’t his fault. Then he went golfing.
I believe exactly none of this. What kind of property manager would be giving personal details of their tenant to their contractor?
This exchange goes like this.
Property manager: Hey we’ve got a tenant whose clothes washer is broke, can you fix it?
Appliance guy: we’re only doing emergency calls since the new state shutdown.
Property manager: tenant works in food retail. That’s essential service and he needs clean clothes to work. All the laundromats are closed since the shutdown. Can you come out?
The stats are already faked. Doctors everywhere reporting that people are dying and not being tested or that they are but the stats show less than what they’ve personally witnessed. The stats may be delayed on some of that but the people who die without being tested will never be officially counted.
There will be studies to estimate more accurately, but we’ll never truly know.
However, there will be so many 100s of thousands of confirmed cases that it won’t matter as much in terms of how bad it’s perceived that we are missing a bunch in the numbers.
This won’t be a Puerto Rico with few enough official deaths that they can discount the 3k that it really caused. It’ll be big enough without the missing.
My Mom robbed the cradle. She was two years older than Dad. He has bad macular degeneration so having a gf that can drive and cook is huge for him. The first year after Mom died his standard line was:
“Do you know what’s wrong with today?
I woke up.”
Now he has his sights set on 100. His great or great-great grandfather made it 1827-1927.
From the makers of “I would sacrifice my grandma’s life for the good of the economy” comes the all new smash hit, “I would freeze half to death for 72 hours to fuck up my landlord’s weekend.”
inso is the only forum member I would pick in a guillotine draft
Been trying to stay out of this but assume tenants with a nice landlord that needed help to survive the lack of rent would pass the hat to cover living expenses. But some ahole property manager that has a hardon for evictions can go die in a ditch.
Agreed. Keeeeeed is more like a pet.
If you’ve been a landlord for ten years and you haven’t spotted the slumlord…
Inso thinks of himself as George Bailey when he’s really Mr. Potter.
“Yes, I have your money — and I’ve got Bill’s money! A-and Fred’s money!”
“Always remember, Zuzu — no man is poor who has a 15-unit CBD-adjacent property.”
People read social media and newspapers and there is this idea that, Wow, these doctors are such heroes, going to front lines. They’re doing such a great job. In reality, I don’t want to be a hero. I don’t want to be brave. I didn’t sign up for any of this. I feel extremely vulnerable and kind of trapped. If I don’t do this, I’ll lose my job, and if I do it, I could die. And it’s not a heroic feeling. It feels like being thrown into the fire. You’re a body, and you can take care of a ventilated patient — give it a shot. I would way rather not be doing this.
You voted for the kind of person who notices a pandemic brewing in January and does exactly fuck all about until mid to late March. That’s the kind of stuff that piles up bodies over time and can result in a complete breakdown of society. Nice job.
If there’s any decency in this world, they’ll be talked about more highly than the military.
Narrator: Despite sacrificing more, they were respected less.

While the containment measures seem to be working in Lombardy, the worst-hit region in the north, poorer parts of central and southern Italy are seeing a worrying rise in deaths. The president of Campania, the region around Naples, warned of “the real prospect that Lombardy’s tragedy is about to become the south’s tragedy"
lol u r still going to hell
