CoVID-19
Is anyone else experiencing an unusually high volume of poop decking or am I having flashbacks ?
Local weed store will not let anyone inside. You call ahead and exchange cash and product on the corner. So fucking old school.
You may not have any. Read the article I linked above.
The ones on the local NextDoor seem to have shut the fuck up lately. Not sure where they went...
THANKS! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW!You may not have any. Read the article I linked above.
I'd love to know this as well. I'm about the same percentage certain that my daughter had it about a week before this country lost its collective mind.
How the government delayed coronavirus testing
A weeks-long testing delay that effectively blinded public health officials to the spread of the coronavirus in the US might have been avoided had federal agencies fully enacted their own plan to ramp up testing during a national health crisis.

One of my friends, who was an intern with me in 2008-2009, is a surgeon who is now in the Bronx as a volunteer to help in their hospitals. Not sure how much operating she will do as opposed to critical care (as in vented patients and the like), which many surgeons are also trained to do.

Its BBC so it has to be fake.

NYS has been burying people there for 30-40 years mostly inmates who die in jail and have no family. This is where NYC unclaimed corpse's go
So for the past month the growth rate of CV has been steadily decreasing in Washington, until about 10 days ago. We seem to have bottomed out at about 5.3% growth. Essentially we are back to exponential growth, just at a low rate. We were seeing as much as 45% at the peak nationally so it is an improvemen. But this may just be what is in store for the rest of the country, a slow exponential growth, forever. No hump to get over, just a long slight incline. This seems to be what has been happening in Japan.
This is a grand simplification that actually paints a better picture than reality. Most counties in Washington do not report recoveries. Those that do have reported a significant number. If we were to track growth rate based on active cases it would look much worse.

This is going to be the new norm. Hopefully it is buying us time to find a real solution like a vaccine or some other drug. If not, we're going to be living in these infection cycles for a long time.
"The remains of more than one million people are buried on Hart Island"
Supposedly in England there are church grounds that sit several feet higher than the surrounding land from all the bodies buried there. It was thought that one must be buried on hallowed ground so everyone was buried in a church yard. A thousand years of decomposed dead stacks up.
That's what we wanted, right? Don't worry, everyone's going to be getting real antsy in a couple weeks and we'll see the quarantining fade. Then we'll get another spike.
Dang, this is how it's done there:

We want decay. Linear, exponential, whatever. Slow exponential growth is still growth and still exponential.
Even the ortho guys and girls weren't dude-bros. Some had impressive biceps, sure, but they were all very studious.
Seems like a great location for an impromptu Ouija session.
