    Some ruling class plans

    Ruling class plans to add obligation to record all university lectures (either online or offline). Under pretence that they can later used as online materials during similar events. It is their old time dream (as well as online education).

    We have very interesting reversing of roles (compared to 100 years ago)

    image

    It is now lefty that are for very strong capitalist state, and it is right wing that wants state power to be limited and more power given to citizens.

    It is long known thing, of course, but without it no coronavirus had been possible.

    It also fully explains why suddenly all most popular right wing resources had been wiped out from major platforms.

    Two weeks ago it was a record 3.3 million initial claims; last week it was an additional (upwardly revised) 6.875 million in initial claims, and this week another 6.606 million claims (almost exactly our expectation of 6.5 million).

    That is a shocking 16.78 million people who have applied for unemployment benefits in the last three weeks.

    Great depression will be considering minor issue not worth mentioning one month from now.

    ""Great depression will be considering minor issue not worth mentioning one month from now""...after the war with China starts, which they think worked the last time around.

    Terms used

    Self-isolation - shitty term that ruling class invented. They even imposed fees for breaking SELF-isolation. Seriously. Whole point of self-isolation that I myself can decide than to start, pause or end it. So, proper term is "unlawful and unreasonable home arrest".

    I could understand if at the time of my self-isolation some miracle could solve the issue. This is that ruling class propaganda tells you. Thing is, I am too old and smart for miracles. Instead of miracles we need to make proper masks (yes, using all this "self-isolated" people) and respirators and do antibodies testing.

    Real tragedy happens

    Gaming, instead of looking around, reading and understanding that WHOLE current situation happened due to excapism and total child like behaviour that games promote.

    Same time in reality jobs, businesses and social norms are going to nonexistance.

    Trump is bad, again, tried to give some hope

    These repeated promises aren’t simply missteps or honest mistakes; in fact, they conflict with messaging from Trump’s own coronavirus task force. And while the president has at least kept his statements relatively vague, the general rush to hype the drugs has come into direct conflict with platforms’ medical misinformation policies.

    One man died last month when a couple drank fish tank cleaner containing non-medicinal chloroquine phosphate. According to his wife, they got the idea after watching the press conferences on television, where “Trump kept saying [chloroquine] was basically pretty much a cure.”

    yes, they used same scary story 1000th time.

    https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/9/21209797/trump-chloroquine-hydroxychloroquine-medication-social-media-misinformation

    We have some form on midieval state building attempt now.
    Where guilds of professionals treat everyone else like they are dumb peasants.

    People are right (not that Trump is good or will save everyone) but that we need to return to people who are not only good on reading speeches that their advicers wrote. Same must happen on all levels.

    Only alternative is dystopia fascist like future with QR codes and pool of corporations tracking eveything you do or even just want to do in the future.

    We already have things like "you are dumb, so can't buy antibiotics without our approval", "you are dumb, do sit home, play some games and do not even attempt to think".

    Update on ventilation

    From official recomendations document

    Main goal for moving to ventilation is to prevent lungs damage due to active breathing....

    also

    You can use a combination of hydroxychloroquine with lopinavir + ritonavir, in severe cases - an inhibitor of interleukin-6.

    It is lot of predictions on inflation development this year in US, but smallest I saw is around 10% and average around 30-40%. This is prices change on most important goods and services (food will lead the pack).

    @kurth

    Thanks

    Average Time for COVID-19 Test:

    • On average tests in the US take 4-5 days, and in 10% of cases the wait is more than 7 days.
    • 14% of US physicians and over 50% in all of Europe and Japan report getting test results in 24 hours; in China 73% of doctors get tests back in 24 hours, while 8% get tests back within the hour.

    WTF I just saw? If made on place test must be taking 2-3 hours tops using qPCR machine. Add here some transport time and time to collect good amount of samples for each machine run and we have still below 8 hours.

    "yeah here in mex people are dying before they get the results" In my country the same and most of the infected are in hospital's. It's a real mess...

    Sweden opted to forego a total lockdown, imposing only minor restrictions on public life and movement. It has seen more cases than its Scandinavian counterparts Norway, 6,086 with 89 deaths, and Denmark 5,266 with 203 deaths. Sweden currently has 7,693 confirmed cases of coronavirus infection, while the country's death toll stands at 591.

    Swedish authorities are resorting to refrigerated shipping containers, ice rinks and canteen fridges to store the nation’s dead as the Covid-19 death toll rises and burials are postponed across the country. Long weekends such as the Easter Holidays can cause a backlog but this has been exacerbated by the coronavirus epidemic and ensuing deaths and backlog at cemeteries, many of which are closed as a precautionary measure.

    In both Gothenburg and Stockholm, hospitals have resorted to renting out ice rinks and refrigerated containers for use as temporary cold storage for the deceased, while Karolinska University Hospital in Solna has resorted to using a cold storage room for food as a temporary morgue.

    --

    Authorities in the Swedish municipality of Eslov have warned residents that teenagers are knowingly coughing, sneezing, and spitting beside the elderly in the so-called ‘coronavirus challenge.’ Parents have been advised to “talk” with their children after a number of reports of targeted unsavory and unsanitary behavior by the local youth against the elderly. Sweden has opted not to impose restrictions on the freedom of movement of its citizens, contrary to most other countries.

    However, universities and high schools have shut, meaning a bored youth is apparently looking to entertain itself at the expense of the elderly.

    New York buries coronavirus dead in mass graves as fatalities continue rising

    image

    New York City officials have hired contract labourers to bury the dead in its potter’s field on Hart Island as the city’s daily death rate from the coronavirus epidemic has reached grim new records in each of the last three days.

    The city has used Hart Island to bury New Yorkers with no known next of kin or whose family are unable to arrange a funeral since the 19th century.

    Typically, some 25 bodies are interred each week by low-paid jail inmates working on the island, which sits off the east shore of the city’s Bronx borough and is accessible only by boat.

    That number began increasing in March as the new coronavirus spread rapidly, making New York the epicenter of the global pandemic.

    There are about two dozen bodies a day, five days a week buried on the island, said Jason Kersten, a spokesman for the Department of Correction, which oversees the burials.

    Before burial, the dead are wrapped in body bags and placed inside pine caskets. The deceased’s name is scrawled in large letters on each casket, which helps should a body need to be disinterred later. They are buried in long narrow trenches excavated by digging machines.

    The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) can store about 800 to 900 bodies in its buildings, and has room to store about 4,000 bodies in some 40 refrigerated trucks it can dispatch around the city to hospitals, which typically have only small morgues, Worthy-Davis said.

    Another island to the south of Hart, Randall’s Island in the East River, is being used as a parking depot for dozens of empty refrigerated trucks between deployments outside city hospitals.

    Apple and Google announced today they’re partnering to work on Bluetooth technology that will allow governments and health agencies to more easily conduct contact tracing. The companies stress user privacy and security will be central to the tools they develop.

    For sure.

    "A shortage of condoms and other contraceptives could lead to an increase in unwanted pregnancies, with disastrous consequences for the health and well-being of adolescents, women and their partners and families," the spokesperson continued.

    Real tragedy comes :-)

    We already have all major media telling you how to reuse one time mask. Expect them to give you tips on how to wash and reuse condoms.
