Welcome aboard, eh?

There may still be value in making and wearing masks. Yes, the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus particle thingee is nanometers in diameter, BUT, it is most likely transmitted through droplets of snot, spit, whatever, and those are going to be larger and potentially filtered out by cloth or whatever. If...

When's it coming to Netflix? I'll start popping the popcorn now...

Interesting map of where the cases and deaths have been the last 4 weeks: The full article has a lot of interesting graphs, if you are into that sort of thing: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/03/upshot/coronavirus-metro-area-tracker.html

People have been questioning the "low numbers" in China/Asia and the rest of the world, there may be a simple explanation for this: Unfortunately, you likely aren't going to get told to wear a face mask, because of the acute shortages...we don't even have enough right now for our medical staff...

More great news today...and I haven't even had my first cup of coffee yet! https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/politics/trump-ventilators-stockpile-coronavirus/index.html

Wow, 800 deaths on Tuesday (yesterday)! For comparison, that is like crashing 2 or 3 airliners in day! Imagine how differently we would all be reacting to that...and how upset people would be if a large number of firefighters, paramedics (and nurses and doctors) died responding to the crashes...

I think some government officials #1 priority is not the safety of their people, but their re-election chances and/or interests of their top donors... I think some are doing some political calculations along the lines of, "The dead aren't going to vote against me*, and the people who live...

Cool, now we have a great experiment...we can compare the outcomes of states that instituted preventive measures vs. those who didn't, on a large scale: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241433806.html

Do I get 2 if I subscribe at the Imperator level? Maybe they'll have a yellow one?

Great, now I'll have to go to CitCon in a full-body condom...

I think nobody has a monopoly on "stupid" right now. And technically, these are errors of cognitive decision-making that we all fall for, i.e., "I feel fine, my friends look fine, I'm sure they wouldn't give me the disease," when in fact, COVID-19 spreads like a motherfucker even when...
