This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

This is interesting, a drive thru covid testing site started collecting samples on tuesday at the Villages in central FL. Drive thru in cars or golf carts. There are two parts in partnership with U of Fl - standard testing of people with symptoms, and a second leg of testing those with no symptoms to try to get a gauge on asymptomatic population amongst the geezers. Will take 5 days to get the samples and a few days for results

It closed at 2PM. They didn't run out of tests, everyone just went home to bed.
 
It has been reported that the corona is affecting people’s spelling ability. This is from an email received today. I cap’ed the incorrect word in this “sentence”:
JACALOPE, as you all know, JAKALOPE will be replaced by MS2 in the near future, it is not necessary to upload the data to JACLOPE

The software product is Jackalope
 
Exponential Growth happened, and Population Density coincided with it. add a dash of Reactivity v. Proactivity, mixed with a metric shit ton of I’m-old-and-therefore-invincible, and here we are.
And yet only 22 states had restrictions as of an hour ago. How long before the other 28 get on that pretty curve?
 
Why am I still seeing ny plates on New Jersey roads. It’s unfortunate but they should not be allowed and vice versea. Just my thoughts. We should be containing the spread within are own states so the whole us don’t go to shit. If this is going to continue we might as well just open business as usually cause it ain’t working out so good.

Agreed, but one of my neighbors has a ny plate and another has a VT plate.
 
Let me know if they have eggs....
shoprite had eggs and garlic (couldn't find garlic last week) but no TP, paper towels, or napkins. they had 5 boxes of kleenex left.
oh, and chicken is back
looked at the graph of NJ east to west, decided to make a run for it.
became one those people that can't fit in a shopping cart, arrived at checkout carrying stuff in my hand.
told the family this is it or a while, hope they listened.
not really, they're still eating cereal for dinner, which means in a week they'll be eating pasta for breakfast.

They may live here? Or essential workers?

My guys at work are all NJ license plates and most of our work is NY. So they're driving around there but are essential/emergency.
 
not sure if mainstream news yet but NYC construction will be shut down by next week. That's pretty huge considering the cost of schedule delays and companies that can't afford to not have revenue. Already a few subcontractors in my projects warning that they may go out of business.
 
This is why i think all the states are on the same curve, just different timing for jumping on.
I'm sure there are localized difference. but overall....
The last 4 days, day-over-day percentage growth. 10% takes 7 days to double, 25 is less than 4,
I'll keep adding to it over the next week - as 4 days is only 4 days.
- it will also help to see if it is flattening - i think i can get a slope
or change in slope..

Absolute numbers are in the tabs along the bottom

All NYC construction? My wife's doing Port Authority work. I can't see them shutting down. Also doing hospital renovations for this.
