They need to straight up close public parks. Here in SF Golden Gate Park looks the same as in any other day before COVID.

I honestly think all the rain we got right at the start of the crisis helped keep people in at a critical time. Social distancing is kinda the norm when it's raining.
Yeah, the rain definitely helped keep people indoors during that crucial time. I can't say I've visited any of our local parks ever, let alone recently, hahah. I can definitely see that being an issue in the main cities, though.
I've also seen a decent number of people wearing masks when running errands, and people maintained a ton of space when I went to pick up food once at a local restaurant. So that's good.
Has Lysol provided any kind of update on production of products? Been weeks since I've even anything like wipes or spray.

"Owes us"? Sure, he might not have been the best in the past, but he's been helping poor countries and funding to study diseases for many years now. Surely saving a bunch of lives (even BEFORE this) is already worth redemption...
Wow it's only 4:30 still over here on the west coast.
Isn't that the highest in any country for a single day?
Yes and i believe we hit that record already once already. And will likely continue to hit it throughout this month.
This is seriously a tragedy. I can't believe how badly we have done.
I think we're adapting. When I go out I notice more and more people are wearing masks. Lots of businesses have adapted as well.
driving into work today and there was floods of motorcycle groups and people around.
Honestly.....it felt like a normal friday, so many people driving all of a sudden. It was not like this the entire week going to work in the afternoon. Also saw a ton of cars on my way home from work last night at 1:00am.
They legit need to just start charging people honestly, because people ignoring this shit is only making this fucking stay at home order extend longer and longer.

If today's numbers don't get people to take this seriously and stay in doors I don't know what will :(
it certainly isn't going to get any better from here for a long while, especially now other states are starting to gain numbers

The only good thing to come out of this for SoCal is the air is cleaner than I've ever experienced in my many years here. You can see and breathe the difference. It's amazing, and I dread for when all the traffic returns.
Yeah, he's redeemed from stealing DOS in my eyes. Not that he actually did, but he did (kidding, there's no proof iirc ) :P
Still, age did some good... it's clearly not for tax schemes like so many others, and that's refreshing in our world of brutes, HIV, malaria, etc....
If you told me in 1993 that one day i would like what Bill Gates does... i would have asked if you were alright, fearing the sun hit too hard.
I'll watch Computer Chronicle on Windows 3.0 to celebrate.
The other states really aren't growing faster, percentage-wise, than they were before. It's just that going from 100 to 130 in a day looks a lot worse to some people than going from 10 to 13.
Does it get hot enough to kill whatever is on there? If so that's a really smart idea.
Current Orange County numbers right now have me cautiously optimistic:
There was a massive spike on April 1st but after that rather than just going higher and higher like I'd feared the numbers have dropped back down to lower levels. I hope that means our hospitals won't be overwhelmed.

Of course we're going have the highest # of daily deaths, we're bigger than Spain, Italy, Germany, France and the UK combined. Weeks ago I've been telling friends and family to expect to see us peaking at around 3,000.
Russian scientists retract ‘alarming’ coronavirus genome
Initial findings suggested virus was mutating at a dramatic rate that threatened efforts to create a vaccine.
www.scmp.com
Even Russian science is alarming.
UV-C lamps are a smarter idea.
Too bad I only have UV-B ones on hand.
Yes I suppose so, depends how they are consuming the numbers also I guess.
I use
United States COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer
United States Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.
www.worldometers.info
To track the Numbers in states and around the world, it's the best site I've found so far
It was just a few days ago when the death toll surpassing 9/11 was the big news.
From a nurse friend: if you have to reuse masks, you can put them in the oven for 30 minutes at 70ºC. Obviously won't work with clothes since you can damage them, but should do the job with N95 masks if you can't get hold of extra ones.
So what are my options for getting paid if my work place is open but I don't think I should return?
I went to the doctor on tuesday and was treated for brochintis. The steroids helped with the cough a lot but i still wake up feeling like trash until the steroids kick in. I have one day of steroids left and I'm supposed to return to work Monday. I'm not 100% convinced I actually have bronchitis and think I should take another week off to be safe. I only had 4 days of sick time for the entire year which would be used up this week. I can't afford to take at least another week unpaid.

No idea how much it is in F, but in C it's a bit above the temperature that kills most stuff
Edit: google says 158F
Probably a bit of a dumb question but if you're going to get burgers + fries, is there a good way to heat those up to a temperature that would kill germs but still let the food stay intact? Would an oven be better than a microwave or vice versa?
I have the biggest craving for a burger and want to support a local place that is still doing take out. With pizza I wouldn't think twice, just throw it in the oven for 10-15 minutes no problem.

I wonder if certain states, through lack of testing, will look like they did a "better" job flattening the curve. They'll just have a massive spike in pneumonia deaths, which of course is just from bad luck/God's will/etc.
If you have an air fryer it'd get those things up hot enough quickly while not making it mushy like microwaves.
Isn't that what was going on with Russia for some time? They were reporting an unusually low number of new cases for a country as large as theirs, but at the same time were reporting a large spike in cases of pneumonia.
I'm not sure much of it is on purpose. There's just a massive lack of tests and testing ability available. Wisconsin has emphasized for a while that we're ridiculously constrained. The only place doing massive testing numbers is New York but even they're not really keeping pace with what they should considering how hot the spot is.
Wow I can't believe that hasn't happened in SF yet. Here in the OC the park near me has yellow tape around everything, huge signs saying that only walking and cycling alone is allowed, and even the basketball hoops were removed so people would stop sneaking onto the court.
It's about time he does something for Americans. Yes he owes us. We made him filthy rich despite his bastardom.
It's mostly under control(except nsw) and the curve is flattening for us.

Not based on any actual evidence (although I think I saw the temp suggested somewhere online) but I ordered some Dairy Queen the other day, and threw the burger and fries in the oven at 325 degrees for about 5 minutes "just in case" (while washing my hands several times in the process, and also wiping down the drink container and then pouring it into another container). Bun was a little more crispy than usual but the chicken (crispy chicken sandwich, not a burger) and fries came out fine.
(The point is that he already has been doing good for a while... this isn't his first gig...)
It's cause everyone here in Washington basically avoids people regardless.
