  • Happening in the south too. Pastors in LA announcing they don't give a shit. Just saw they are supposed to run out of beds in a week. Not sure if that means the state as a whole or only New Orleans.

  • There has to be a lot of that, especially in hot spots where hospitals are overrun. I know 3 people in that exact situation, only one was tested.

  • Cuomo talks about the "apex" daily.

    Now it's 4-8 days away. Assuming that means after that day, confirmed cases go down? Deaths? Or both?

  • Good news. My step ladder is arriving today. Exciting times!

    Wal Mart is starting it tomorrow. One person per 1,000 square feet. It’ll reduce down to about 20% capacity. Stand outside and wait for someone to leave before you can go in. I imagine Kroger will be next. So I guess people will just be standing around outside instead? 

    It's actually not that bad. It's just crowd control. It's not overrun inside and the checkout lines are manageable. The first time I went to a line it was at least 50 people long and it moved.

  • One those iPhone alerts went off here today, like when a kid is abducted. It was calling for health professionals that could join the cause.

    FOUR TIMES, in an hour.

    Rumors floating around the Kroger that I started working at for the time being, is that they will only be allowing 10 customers in the store at a time starting Monday. It’s going to be absurd. 

    That's been happening here for going on 3 weeks.

    It will depend on the square footage of the store. Lines will be outside, 2 meters between each person.

  • I'm in the same boat. I sure as hell would rather not deal with that. It can hit you very hard and last for a while.

    Also, if I needed medical attention here I would drive my ass to Ohio before going to a local hospital.

    Again, the issue is less about the mortality rate and more about the hospitalization and ICU rate.  If hospitals get overwhelmed, more people die.  NY says they will run out of ventillators in a few days.

    If you go back to business as usual, this will race thru 2/3 of your population and overwhelm your hospitals.  You can be 30 and healthy as an ox - it probably won't kill you, but it still can easily kick your ass and put you on a ventillator.  And if there's a shortage of ventillators, then I guess thoughts and prayers?

  • You're wasting your time. If it doesn't come from some fringy, Geocities style page it doesn't get read let alone understood.

    I have friends on the front lines here. I hear a new story everyday. Anyone who thinks shelter in place isn't necessary is a moron. It's that simple. If it were up to me I'd make it even stricter.

  • Here's another simple explanation.

    2009 H1N1 - 60 million cases, 12k deaths.

    2020 COVID 19 ("reported" as of right now) - 265,506 cases, 6,786 deaths

  • My BIL has the last year before the body change. Lives in Denver, awesome SUV for mountain trips. I actually prefer the previous boxy version.

  • Wow, nice ride. I was randomly building Pilots on Honda's site a few weeks ago. The Black edition is sharp...and holy shit 50k. Hope you got a deal.

  • Spring allergies are back for me too. Every damn morning.

  • People are just like that with math. Clicks for them. I'm terrible. I lived in the tutor room when I took a higher level business calc class.

    I have a friend he makes 250k. Ridiculous at math, I can't put into words how good. Downside...his level of social awkwardness equals that of his math skills.

  • So just go to that link to Amazon, check out, and I'm good? It's ok if the items are already in the cart?

  • Wow, what a fucking nerd!

     

    Regarding chemical engineering. Let's say you're just getting into the field, BS in chem engineers. wtf do you actually aim for to get a job in the field? Is masters a must? 

    Some background, my gf has a BS in chemical engineers. Now works as a mech engineer (HVAC mostly). She went that route because way more opportunities and she had an in at the firm, but she doesn't love it. I'm very good as finding job leads, recruiters, etc. In MY field. Hers? I'm completely clueless.

    Basically looking for an ideal career trajectory in that field.
