We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Remember when Steve Jobs got a liver transplant super fast and the papers wrote articles for years about how "no, he just signed up on two states, something no one else ever thought about doing"?
I'm sure there is a PeRfEcTlY lEgAl ExPlAnAtIoN here too, but I'm also sure that if you peel the layers of legalism, it will be just the old truth of the US healthcare system - it's geared toward treating rich people remarkably well first and foremost.
Testing has accelerated in Ontario a great deal the last 2 days with the activation of the testing centers. Now when people go to an ER with any markers they are sent to a remote testing center. Before the Pandemic declaration on Tuesday, testing in the GTA was not well understood by everyone. I mentioned in this thread at the time that at the Hospital my wife works at many of the Doctors were kind of clueless on the second form needed for Covid testing which resulted in several lab tests being cancelled due to improper paperwork.
I kind of expect to see a jump in Canada because these specific testing centers are being set up everywhere. I read of one in Ottawa and Quebec so I'm assuming they are popping up across the country. We have to just wait and see if there is a jump now that the process has been streamlined. I should add that the organization has been very impressive since the Pandemic declaration.
Even if you want to go, a gathering of that size should be banned at that point
How did Charles Barkley get tested? These celebrities getting tested way before they would otherwise is terrible
Apparently they are only shutting down if the government themselves say so, otherwise they are moving forward. I've expressed my concern with my wife since we would have to fly as well but she seems pretty adamant about going. She said they are taking precautions to ensure nothing happens but that doesn't exactly reassure me.
Germany and UK have had the same stance so far but the Arsenal Manager getting it might change tomorrow for football in the UK.
Also UK is still low on cases per head compared to many around them and may even act sooner than them relatively speaking or be inline.
Celebrities literally had private firefighters during the California wildfires last year lol. This is exactly what is to be expected in the coming future and will only continue spotlighting how wealth inequality is more than just a number. Class solidarity above all else. I really, really just hope something is done soon to ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need for this.
This is the type of bullshit you get when you limit test kits for your own gain.
Right?
Have you been in contact with somebody who has it?
Uhhhh yes?
Ok who?
Ummmm, Tom Hanks?
Exclusive: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17
Government records suggest first person infected with new disease may have been a Hubei resident aged 55, but ‘patient zero’ has yet to be confirmed.

Took just four months to shut Europe and the US down. Wild.
Keep in mind UK cases are expected to be between 5,000 and 10,000 at the moment. The way we test is quite specific.Germany and UK have had the same stance so far but the Arsenal Manager getting it might change tomorrow for football in the UK.

Up to 10,000 in UK 'likely to have coronavirus'
The chief scientific adviser says the number of infected people is much higher than the 590 identified cases.

Swiping on Tinder is weird right now, not going to meet any of these girls any time soon. Well, maybe I'll strike conversations with a couple of them and we can hold each other in virtual company in these isolated times. Going to take a while before people get comfortable with general physical contact again. Eh, what what am I saying, I'm in Norway, we never were comfortable with it in the first place.
I really think it will be canceled, but she is excited and does not want it to be. Personally I would let her be excited, but maybe plan some small surprise to cheer her up when the cancellation happens.
This chart is useful, but people also need to keep in mind that you can get more than just 1 disease at a time.
Not the most common one.
If you have a runny nose and sneezing, but also fever and dry coughing, you probably have both covid and common cold and/or allergies.

Same can be said for most of Europe. France might be 50k or more, Spain 80-100k. With 61 and 84 deaths in France and Spain it should be obvious.

Here's our new recommendations.
My dad is coming back from Palm Springs on Sunday. Guess he will be quarantining.
On a related note, I may have been exposed (someone at work went home today to go get tested, and I was interacting with them a couple hours before they left). I'm going to be monitoring myself really hard for a bit here...

Asked the same thing in another thread, after Lindsay Graham got tested despite showing no symptoms. There has to be X number of tests set aside for "high value" government folks and their friends, or they are selling them under the table.
Either scenario is a bad look when the average person coughing their bloody lungs out can't get a test if their fever is only 102.5.

Work was nuts today. I am exhausted physically and mentally. People are ramping up their panic buying.
My hands cracked and started bleeding from washing them so much and then handling cardboard. Going to start working with gloves tomorrow.
Shoppers have been doing their best to be friendly at least.

It's looking incredibly likely at this point that Coronavirus is going to infect most of the world's population since the entire world locking down like China or Italy for the next 18+ months until a vaccine is available is infeasible. With that inevitability, it got me thinking about ways that we could manage the spread of the virus in order to better protect the people most vulnerable to it.
As a healthy young adult, I'm far more concerned with the possibility of catching Coronavirus and spreading it to others than I am with the potential symptoms I'd be likely to face after contracting it.
So it got me thinking, if the research on Coronavirus shows that we do become immune to it after defeating it (for months at least), wouldn't there be plenty of people who would volunteer to contract it? We could throw huge two+ week parties in evacuated towns, shielding the most vulnerable people from it while the the people in the Coronavirus party towns contract Coronavirus and recover.
There's a similar thing for children with chicken pox where they deliberately contract it as kids while it's relatively harmless thus gaining a lifelong immunity rather than risking contracting it as an old person when it's far more dangerous.
Any thoughts on my master plan?

Terrible idea, it would overwhelm hospitals because even young people are still ending up needing to be hospitalized.
Besides the fact that it won't work because it's already spreading , you're still trusting people to not spread it. There's no guarantee it'll stay confined (South Dakota has 8 unrelated cases and it's flat nothing for miles).
Also, the chicken pox vaccine has, thankfully, done away with pox parties for the most part.
Chicken Pox can turn into shingles later in life and that can be brutal.
Edit: Beaten.
On top of this, imagine it also gave us a chance of getting another serious illness later in life like shingles?
To be fair, they could make it only if you traveled outside the county and it still wouldn't apply to most. :)

Yeah my HEB(Texas Grocery store) was more full than pre Thanksgiving. Luckily I did my shopping a week before.

So I've heard that you can boost your immune system by masturbating. Well I'll see you guys later.
Especially considering we in Washington can have an enhanced drivers license to travel easily to BC
State of emergency declared in Nevada. I'm trying to figure out how the hell do you shut down the Strip without bankrupting the city.
Lots of vacations ruined. But it's selfish to think of that now.
If this news about the Republicans stalling I wish Democrats would hammer them on this news 24 7. Make it so bad that they are screwed. But no we must play nice
I think there will be waves of infections until the vaccine becomes available, with some countries being hit multiple times. We need some sort of flexible quarantine - flexitine - to deal with that. People should be very flexible in switching to working from home. An emergency UBI might be useful to allow companies to more flexibly scale down their work force if work from home is not an option.
I work at the school, I just lost at least 2 weeks of income
