Hang in there, Esch, you're almost through it.

Some old man is likely stuck in the corridor of a hospital without a proper room because of this shitstain. 

[Bebpo]

Welp, online groceries seem useless. Was like beating ticketmaster to get an order in for today delivery.

Then half the stuff needs replacement items - fine
But all the important stuck is just out of stock and I don't get it.

Great getting hamburger patties and spinach, but no buns
getting peanut butter & jelly, but no bread

-_-

Basically everything dairy, eggs, bread, distilled water, TP, paper towels seem very hard to get right now which sucks. Gonna fight the crowds at the market later or tomorrow I guess.

Is there an anonymous tip email for like companies sitting on a fat stack of respirators? Asking for a friend 

[Occam]

So Germany has a low covid mortality rate. Simple explanation: they got rid of the Trumps.

call your local hospital posing as the company owner and tell them to come pick up a donation

[Ghoul]

Welp. The person who I think originally got me sick tested positive.

According to new research posting hog in the private forum is the cure 

[Pennywise]

Hope you're better soon Esch.
Just watch that wholesome video from Papa Wenger talking about Corona on repeat and you'll feel better soon enough.

[OnlyRegret]

I've got a morbid fascination with the States now that they seem want to make things the worst possible.

For all the death panels chatter, things haven't even begun and they've already floated the idea of acceptable mass die-off. It can only go downhill.

Esch, I know you're about to die and all that, and this might not be the best time to bring this up, but could you put your emoticons under your links?  It just feels so much better to have the rolfs temporally after the thing they are rolfing. 

[OnlyRegret]

Unless there is something fucky going on, you've probably got a strong testing rate and no healthcare collapse yet. The latter is probably the real killer.

Get some flour, bake your own.

Lol good luck finding flour in a store right now. Haven’t seen any for weeks. I buy wheat grains and make my own flour right now. 

[BisMarckie]

Also, get well soon Esch.

saw an article saying NM has done the third most tests in the country per capita and we have the lowest number of positives. drive thru testing, business and school lockdowns, and the restaurant changes seem to be helping out. i clown this state a lot but i'm glad we were ahead of the curve on this, probably cause we're so poor we'd be fucked otherwise.

If I had to go through raising my preemie twins through this, I would’ve lost my mind. It was stressful enough as it was.

[Leadbelly]

So, in terms of exponential growth of Covid-19:

67 days - 100,000
11 days - 200,000
4 days - 300,000
2 days - 400,000

And that is just reported cases.

[Potato]

Looks like worldwide numbers

[Leadbelly]

Get it now just a weird way to list it out lol

It was listed that way because it is the number of days it took to reach a particular number that is important. In other words it took 67 days to reach 100,000, yet only 11 days to reach 200,000. The infection rate is accelerating.

[benjipwns]

Hence, the "curve" explanation.

[OnlyRegret]

weebs

https://twitter.com/animenyc/status/1242593285740216320

turn to the pros in social distancing (isolation) for help

[Leadbelly]

It took 78 days to reach 200,000 hence why it’s weird.

Okay it took 84 days to reach 400,000 cases. What that doesn't tell you is that the last 200,000 cases only happened in the last 6 days. It took 78 days to reach 200,000 only 6 days to reach another 200,000.

[Leadbelly]

Either way, at that rate we will reach 600,000 reported cases within 3 days.

Edit: Actually in the next 1.5 days.

[Madrun Badrun]

Leadbelly did you just learn about exponential functions?  You seem rather taken with them, kinda like the time when I discovered TikTok e-girls.

Nah, I was just watching the news mate. It was literally taken from a graph they were showing. You're reading too much into things. lol

[OnlyRegret]

I'm reminded of the time where he was trying to explain doubling to shosta

[benjipwns]

And now we're on to squares.

[OnlyRegret]

are we sure it won't be a sinusoidal?
many things end up like that

[benjipwns]

YOU CAN'T SKIP STEPS IN TEACHING MATH! YOU WILL ONLY REGRET THIS!

[OnlyRegret]

I'm merely teaching along the lines of this function, and now we drop immensely as we hit an inflection point on the curve

[benjipwns]

Sorry, "maths"

[OnlyRegret]

I almost want to re-learn some maths now
Re-learn some diff eqs because why the fuck not

Differential eqations are lame maths for physics losers.  There I've said it.

They were kinda fun, like weird little puzzles with corresponding solution paths.

[TEEEPO]

i mean, it's also used in macroeconomics so you're not exactly wrong

[headwalk]

i wish i enjoyed anything that had practical application.

people who do should get paid less to make it fair.

[OnlyRegret]

i mean, it's also used in macroeconomics so you're not exactly wrong

Sciences in general and engineering too though.

[TEEEPO]

anyways, i always have an urge to re-learn maths -- i one time went through kindergarten to calc 2 on kahn academy in one summer -- but i also kno that if you don't use it within six months, you fucking lose it so what's the point?

[OnlyRegret]

The enjoyment of solving a system representing some problem with many idealizations is quite the (legal) high.

[Madrun Badrun]

TBF not all of use can get erections over exponential functions as if they are tiktok e-girls.

[OnlyRegret]

Exponentials
Real and Imaginary components

multivariate analysis

They're pretty useful if you want to get into graphics programming.

Pretty stunning case of government incompetence over here in recent days.

The Ruby Princess cruise ship berthed in Sydney last week and about 2700 passengers got off at Circular Quay. People were asked to self-isolate and that's it. No testing, no medical/temperature checks, nothing.

More than 100 people who disembarked have since tested positive for COVID-19.

The Department of Agriculture officials advised that New South Wales Health had conducted a risk assessment, had rated the risk as low and that health officials would not be attending the vessel.

NSW's Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said many of the new COVID-19 cases were linked to the Ruby Princess.

I'm maybe speaking out if my ass but "limiting availability" might be to prevent hoarding and misuse before it can be confirmed it is helpful.

Spain overtook China in fatalities.
But all eyes today are on the US and their quest to overtaking Italy in confirmed cases.

I think the real turning point is if they overtake us in cases per capita.
Hopefully they managed to get things under control before then.
