This virus is a motherfucker, it just keep slowly gnawing away. Every day another 800 or so gets added to the US death count.


Even in Ohio where it’s been relatively mild, we’ve plateaued at 500 new cases a day for more than a month now. It just won’t taper off.

Yes, and no. American health care charges is based on an old archaic system called the Chargemaster, where the hospital sets internally what a procedure should cost. What gets really wonky is that hospitals will intentionally inflate their prices in order to give 'discounts' that they can more easily write off to insurance companies. But if you're a person without insurance, the $18K is the original price you pay because lol, the American healthcare system is screwed.

German public health insurance pays about 50 dollar to labs for a Corona test. I mean I know the us health care system is fucked but something here must be wrong.

Having sex in your own home with someone from a different household is illegal from today, after the government altered its coronavirus legislation.

At 11.30am on Monday, a change to the law was introduced that bans two people from different households in England gathering in an indoor, private place during the coronavirus lockdown.

The amendment to the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) Bill states: “No person may participate in a gathering which takes place in a public or private place indoors, and consists of two or more persons.”

Previously, going to another person’s home to have sex would have been a breach of coronavirus lockdown restrictions, but now both parties could be prosecuted under the law. Having sex in public is already illegal.

Only those with a “reasonable excuse” are permitted to meet in a private place.

I still can't find info on Canada's excessive deaths.  Quebec is finally going down.  Ontario cases are plateauing but hospitalization seems to be going down.  The martimes, which had contained it, keep getting imported cases.

Reading more and more takes that the riots and protests are going to cause a 2nd wave.
No one seems to really focus on social distancing during these gatherings anymore, people hugging etc. .
Then there's the teargas which makes people cough and run into each other.
Plus the national guard and other troops moved over large distances.

This could spiral out of control   :goty2

We're reopening to the public at the capacity that restaurants did/phase 1 on Friday.

We had a meeting today and essentially everyone agrees we really aren't built to be socially distant in the building designs. And "we can't enforce people to use masks if grocery stores don't." :beli I'm not thrilled about this and feel like I should walk.

WASHINGTON — Americans returning from China landed at U.S. airports by the thousands in early February, potential carriers of a deadly virus who had been diverted to a handful of cities for screening by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Their arrival prompted a frantic scramble by local and state officials to press the travelers to self-quarantine and to monitor whether anyone fell ill. It was one of the earliest tests of whether the public health system in the United States could contain the contagion.

But the effort was frustrated as the CDC’s decades-old notification system delivered information collected at the airports that was riddled with duplicative records, bad phone numbers and incomplete addresses. For weeks, officials tried to track passengers using lists sent by the CDC, scouring information about each flight in separate spreadsheets.

“It was insane,” said Dr. Sharon Balter, a director at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. When the system went offline in mid-February, briefly halting the flow of passenger data, local officials listened in disbelief on a conference call as the CDC responded to the possibility that infected travelers might slip away.

“Just let them go,” two of the health officials recall being told.

I thought there was going to be one? Wait till the BLS releases its monthly report on the 5th and everyone's stomach drops out of their ass.

AFAIK, that's still the plan. But since then, they found out that most folks used it on TV's, clothes, etc. and now the GOP is like "why will we give them free money if they aren't using it on bills, essentials?" So who knows.
