    Actually, what is most interesting that a company doing this went public with it...most of the time they don't want people to know anything about what they are doing. Maybe they have been doing it so long, they are getting complacent about keeping it a secret. That, and tracking you via phone &...

    Keep your hands out of your face! Seriously, the eyes have mucus membranes, you want all that virus stuff getting in and going into your blood stream, do exactly that ;^)

    Don't let this happen to you, a PSA.

    Along the lines of "DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU" a local fellow in my county blew up his RV...he was welding near a propane tank, started to watch an instructional YouTube video, and decided he wanted a cigarette...yup...you guessed it. My favorite part...

    I don't know your exact situation, but if I were you, I would start (if you haven't already) stockpiling food so that you could last for any length isolation. People have a bad habit of ignoring things, and then over-compensating when it is too late. Look at all the pictures of people...

    That's great they removed that from behind the paywall. Also from that tweet...in countries that are lagging behind in testing, these numbers are going to be an undercount:

    Well, so far we have been "civil," which means that a certain percentage of morons are acting on their racist impulses...not sure where we'll be if the lack of leadership (or even worse, blaming by leadership and certain media groups) continues...

    Latest numbers... "Top Countries" i.e., just a selection, or else it would look like an inkjet puked on the graph: Top States...ditto above, plotting every state would be a mess This is the "log" graph, which turns the accelerating "33% daily rise" into a straight line, but separates out the...

    It is important to note that that chart is *Deaths* only, not the number of people infected. (I'm basing the charts I make off the FT charts). What is interesting is (as the below article points out) Germany's death rate is much lower than other countries, esp. Italy's. So far, nobody knows...

    There are things the US Govt. should be doing right now that they aren't. We've been seeing this pattern all along. If they are waiting for things to get worse before acting, all they have to do is wait 24 hours. If they are waiting for things to get much worse, all they have to do is wait 48...
