Maybe a positive thing that will come out of all of this is some actual useful food donations for pantries

Everyone in America is saying "drat that exam was impossible!! Good thing I didn't waste any time studying" unironically about a pandemic and it is making me so mad Also APS closed to all groups who aren't working on either mail-in samples, beamline instrumentation, or COVID-19 related experiments

Yeah but you guys are already turning the corner and have way fewer infections and comparatively not that many deaths. That exact thing is going to happen in America too, except we are also going to get 2M dead people

Fatal Error posted:lomarf if you believe any official news from china i mean you don't have to believe it to get the basic idea here. theyre arent covering up uncontrolled viral pneumonia outbreaks and mass graves here in shenzhen. i'd have noticed it somehow. i promise i'll break the news here in this thread if something like that happens. and i personally know a half dozen or so people currently in various parts of mega quarantined hubei province. at this point any coverups are in the margins, not the general idea.

i work in a gossipy office with 950 employees, my girlfriend works in another company with a hundred or so, with all these people living scattered throughout the city each with their own families and friends etc. i really don't believe it would be possible to cover up a wuhan or northern italy level outbreak here without at least rumors of it that i'd be somewhat aware of

Stereotype posted:I keep telling everyone who is saying "It isn't just the US, everywhere in the world is doing badly" that, in fact, China and South Korea are doing very well china has this authoritarian angle that we just don’t also imagine if : this continues to mutate so that catching this is like catching a cold in that you only get immunity to that strain but can get it again, the implication being that from now on it’s just like influenza but easier to catch and just circulates the globe over and over and perhaps being old is just a thing of the past time will tell but something wise I read made the claim that if we’re over precautions we won’t know* but if we aren’t precautious enough it will be abundantly clear *china and korea being very on the precautious end of the scale

there's a handful of new cases here and most of them were people who made the spectacularly brilliant decision to go skiing in Japan and Yurope somewhere. I'm sure it will come as a huge shock that two of them live on The Peak, home to some of the most expensive real estate in the universe

there's also an incredibly cynical angle, that due to the huge cost to the health system that the elderly are.. perhaps if they died.. there'd be a few more dollars to go around

fart simpson posted:the uk's plan seems to be basically opening its arms to embrace the virus, just getting it over with as fast as possible???? i haven't heard the uk plan, but sweden is also taking a lot slower an approach, and i can't say i can argue with the logic. notably not closing schools as the loss of personnel in e.g. health care and elder care would risk destabilizing things for the people at most risk, while kids in themselves are low-risk. also a bit more dubious bits like not banning gatherings of less than 500 people, not closing e.g. restaurants and bars, and so on, as the projection is that the outbreak will either way last long enough that they don't expect it to be possible to maintain a hard lockdown for the duration. in the end the response is designed by a large number of experts on the subject matter, and i'm a dumb computer toucher, so i have no idea how much sense it makes. i can however see that it is true that there is no way the swedish government can maintain a police state full lockdown for 4 months. e: sweden does have two big advantages working for it though: very sparsely populated, and we send all our elders off to die in nursing homes at the earliest possible convenience. so might also be a matter of what suits the place.

I got some racism today for buying two jugs of water. I have always bought water from the market ever since my kitchen faucet poured out funky coloured smelly water once but I guess me being Asian during this pandemic gives people the right to comment about or question my purchases. I am pretty displeased about this since this is Canada and I’ve never really experienced this sort of thing before. Anyway, sup wfh crew.
