I saw the article on the oxford vaccine thing potentially being ready for mass production in the fall for medical staff first and it seemed pretty promising. Using existing coronavirus vaccine so it skips a ton of the early timeframe and already works on monkeys to prevent covid-19. Would be a game changer if they could vaccinate the elderly and high risk groups by the end of the year.

Would save 2021.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told President Vladimir Putin on Thursday that he had been diagnosed with the new coronavirus and was temporarily stepping down to recover.

Mishustin, 54, suggested that First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov serve as acting prime minister in his absence. Putin, who appointed Mishustin in January, supported the proposal.

Mishustin, who has been one of the main coordinators of Russia's response to the new coronavirus, is the first high-ranking Russian official to publicly say they have the virus. He broke the news hours after the number of confirmed cases of the virus in Russia surged past the 100,000 mark.

Mishustin told Putin about his diagnosis during a televised video conference.

"I have found out that the coronavirus tests I had done returned with a positive result," Mishustin said. "I need to self-isolate, and follow doctors' instructions. This is necessary for the safety of my colleagues."

Mishustin said he would remain in contact with members of the government and Putin by phone and video conference despite his condition.

Putin told Mishustin to call him as soon as he reached hospital and wished him a speedy recovery.

Mishustin's fate showed that anyone could contract the virus, Putin added.

Russia's nationwide tally of confirmed coronavirus cases surged past the 100,000 mark earlier on Thursday after a record daily rise in new infections.

Seems to be holding steady on the island, with a slight spike these last 2 days. 151 have it in my town of 15k. But still, Suffolk is #6 for cases by county (we ceded #5 to Cook/Chicago just recently) and Nassau is #4 (and the next county over from Nassau is Queens, #1).

So Russia has gone past 100,000 cases. I was looking at the figures around the world earlier and this jumped out at me. 100,000 cases but only 1000 deaths. I think that is kind of similar to Germany. Of course deaths could rise dramatically quite quickly. It would be interesting to know though, the sort of demographics it is hitting.

Numbers increased again today in LA but not as much as yesterday. Also I think they're mixing in backlog numbers so who the fuck knows anymore. The next big thing is the governor fighting the different counties over beaches being open. Thankfully it isn't super hot right now (it has been overcast where I live for a few days, and I'm a couple miles from the beach), so maybe people stay in. Still lots of speculation that they extend the S-A-H until June so that people don't have big Memorial Day parties.

The mood and feeling of all full time grocery store workers
 

I'm a full-time produce clerk, specifically the green or wetwall for produce. I stock, condition, cull, and chill all the produce that gets sprayed by water. Before this shit, I'd have the time to fill all hundred spots, make the entire wall look full and pristine. I get off on the quality of all my produce being high, stocked to the brim, and looking beautiful.

Since this pandemic shit, and business being up 20% - 30% everyday, I get about 10 minutes of something looking nice or full before some cunt or dufus decides to check every cucumber for the perfect one, people picking at shit and making a mess. Social distancing is a joke, customers don't give a fuck when they want green onion or bananas.

I'm not looking for pity, salutes, or cock sucking (unless you're cute). What grocery store workers really want is higher pay and to be treated a lot better by management, by these corporations.

As it stands, my heart, mind, and soul, wanna rip and tear every other motherfucker at work. We are exhausted, spent, treated like pieces of meat, and people wanna pretend that we can go back to normal.

Part of me is okay if Corona does get worse, a dark part of me perhaps. If our economy, capitalism in general, corporations as a whole fail and can't be redeemed, I'll be smiling as I stand at ground zero.
OH!

I basically don't believe any death counts outside of Western Europe and Canada - mostly because they are the only ones that I know include things like LTC deaths.  The rest are all totalitarian state cover-ups.

Quebec
-2,020 deaths (+163)*
-26,648 confirmed cases (+1,110)*
-1,716 in hospital (+31)
-218 in ICU (+4)

*Record increases, but the deaths include previously uncounted deaths.

In the US, the Deep State makes up death totals to make Trump look bad, so it probably balances out overall.

lol UK.

So they said 100k a day tests by end of april.

On the last day they send out 39k tests so it looks like we made 100k a day testing.

That is like me doing an essay the night before and then just not quoting any sources and say well I just knew it myself.

Meanwhile Germany could do up to 900k tests a week, but there isn't enough demand for it anymore. So far less tests are being done. At that point it's about time that more testing across borders should be done to help those nations that aren't having the necessary capacities yet, both with tests or labs.

For some reason the tweet won’t embed properly but you guys have seen the latest from de Blasio, right?

A special message to the Jews...

https://mobile.twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1256268911361830913

Solid writing.

Quote
But that wasn’t the mayor’s goal. The point was to signal to the rest of us that he was a man of action, entirely in control of the situation. What he did was send an inadvertent message to anti-Semites that Jews were to blame.

“Hassids own so much,” Felix Biederman, a co-host of the popular left-wing “Chapo Trap House” podcast, tweeted on Thursday. “Just zero regard for the rest of humanity or any idea of modernity and they’re also like yeah we need to live in the middle of this city for whatever reason.”

Hasidic Jews aren’t particularly well-off and have been in these neighborhoods for generations. Presenting them as interloping vultures is not simply a lie. It is classic anti-Semitism.

Web cams and selfie cams in general use wide angle lenses that distort people's faces.

Correct. And outside of auteur directors and well the 90's in general, you're not really going to see such lenses used in actual productions (except for hyper-specific shots.)
