at first i was thinking we'd peak in may but now i think it might be earlier because it seems that for as lovely as the federal response has been, states are pulling their head out of their rear end and doing the right thing

sam harris making sense podcast has some epidemiologist on who recons fatality rate may be less than 0.6% realistically but it’s also getting everywhere that’s what? around one and a half million dead in the US? 24,000 here in nz the podcast is worthwhile listening to the dude seems to know what he’s talking about. gonna listen to the rest on the way to work. getting in 2.5 hours before we open to get poo poo done 😓 we are busy AS gently caress

I work with a girl who is fatalistic and honestly lacks empathy for anyone and it's so loving frustrating, I'm like, we need to make every decision around saving human lives here, whereas she thinks signs outside the pharmacy asking us to keep people out who have coronavirus makes us look unfriendly I had to ask a dude to self isolate yesterday. I'm gonna call him today because he looked like his feelings were hurt. I hope I didn't make him sad lol
