If I wasn’t confident that China was gonna invade Taiwan in the next decade I might consider moving there. Maybe I could be friends with that guy who plays Pokémon go on 40 phones.

We went to Shenandoah today and all the picnic grounds were full with cars and people. No one was wearing masks and groups were spaced maybe 3 feet apart. The hiking trails were maybe 50:50 mask:no mask. RIP.

I legit think the public will go against the teachers , because the strike will be spun as teachers unwilling to take a health risk whereas doctors did, and teachers will try to say they're trying to keep parents safe but half the parents are gonna be forced to be at service jobs anyways

It will be interesting because parents presumably will finally understand what it is like to deal with kids day in day out while trying to get them to learn. At the same time it’s everyone’s daycare and if we have learned anything so far during this pandemic it’s that no one gives a poo poo about it anyone else’s well being.

covid thread, I know this isn't the pets forum but gently caress it, a ray of sunshine in this bleak world just happened - my neighbors moved to houston(7 hours away) six weeks ago. The day they moved one of their cats got out. They stayed 10 hours trying to find her and had to leave. They drove back TWICE trying to find her in the two weeks after they moved. It's been over 6 weeks since the cat was seen or spotted. My wife and I have looked for her EVERY SINGLE DAY since then.

Two days ago she showed up on my porch and I stayed up for 36 hours trying to devise a way to get her. I just finally trapped her and got her in the house and have her in the back and her owners are on their way from houston to get her. I'm SO loving HAPPY RIGHT NOW, they were HEARTBROKEN over this and it's just really loving nice to have something good happen in this hellworld for once. I cannot even loving imagine how it will feel to get their baby back after six weeks of her being gone. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH I'm loving wigging out right now

They took my temperature at work and it was 100.3 so they had me hold an icepack on my head until the scanner would come up 98.
and then because I didn't have a fever I had to report for my shift.

I went home to check my temperature on my lunch and it was normal, and has been normal ever since, and I have also tested negative multiple times before this so I think it was just their cheap uncalibrated temp gun. but now I know even the thin layer of screening is a joke and it makes me realize I'm going to get it from work eventually because I'm the only one who wears a mask on the regular.

I’m pretty sure this was the company that was claiming 100% accuracy and 100% sensitivity lol

edit: yea they were sued too https://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/06/15/investor-sues-maker/

quote:


The lawsuit alleges that Co-Diagnostics’ stock prices rose due to the company’s claim that its coronavirus test showed 100% sensitivity in multiple evaluations — “a staggering claim that appeared to set Co-Diagnostics apart from other competitors developing COVID-19 tests,” the lawsuit states.

Co-Diagnostics did not immediately respond to The Tribune's request for comment.

The biotech company made the claims about its test accuracy in a news release May 1, the day after The Tribune reported data showing that TestUtah was producing positive results at less than half the rate of Utah’s other test sites, even when including only patients with symptoms.

As various investor publications repeated the company’s release claiming 100% accuracy, the company’s stock continued to rise, reaching an all-time high of $29.72 on May 14 — “an extraordinary climb from its $0.8952 year-end 2019 price,” the lawsuit states.

“As a result of this misrepresentation and the influx of taxpayer dollars to Co-Diagnostics, the company’s stock soared — until it crashed,” the lawsuit states.

On May 14, The Tribune reported that TestUtah had declined to join other Utah labs in an experiment to check the accuracy of one another’s coronavirus tests.

On the same day in Iowa, where the companies behind TestUtah are running a similar testing system, state officials announced that a public lab there had done its own experiment, finding "95% accuracy for determining positives and 99.7% accuracy for determining negatives."

The difference between 95 and 100% accuracy "can have momentous adverse consequences if Co-Diagnostics’ tests are used on a widespread basis, as intended," the lawsuit states.

During the day, Co-Diagnostics stock price dropped more than 38% within a few hours, according to the lawsuit. That afternoon, the company’s scheduled quarterly earnings call was flummoxed by an apparent technical glitch, leaving investors to listen to a cacophony of background noise, such as barking dogs, swearing and intermittent calliope music. The stock price had fallen again to $15.80 when the market opened the next day, the lawsuit states.

MI public schools start the day after labor day. next week is usually the week we’d go back for professional developments, planning, room set-up etc.

it’s going to be all virtual, though admin were pretty determined to have it in person. they were determined to have teachers go into the building when teaching virtually, too, but something spooked must’ve spooked them - they wouldnt have backed down were it not for teachers/parents complaining, someone testing positive etc. (keep in mind this is a non-union charter, though we generally follow the lead of the a couple neighboring public districts.)

regardless, first 30 days are all online. a decision will be made after that.

when/if students come in person, their plan is insane and i’m not sure how it’s supposed to work. we’re going to have A, B, and C groups. so A is all virtual, B is 2-days IRL, and C is 4-days IRL. friday is the designated DEEP CLEANING day and will be virtually for everyone.

i will have students in all three groups. no idea how i’m supposed to have the same expectations for students in all these groups, but ok whatever.

other things of note...

- we’re still going through with standardized testing
- kids will still eat in the lunchroom at more staggered times
- i was exposed to a Covid positive person back in March. O_O

lol at standardized testing
