lol is it unfortunate I feel totally fine!! (I so miss working out but I'm ok!)

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I still am not feeling any stir craziness yet. I love being home.

 

I have some weights, a bench, and  treadmill so I am even good on working out at home.

 

I try to empathize with those in apartments who are literally stuck at home because I at least have a nice yard to use if I get tired of being inside. I used the first week of being off to finally give a heavy duty trimming to my hedges that got neglected last year because of work. I missed the sweet spot of time after it warmed up, but before they grew their foilage due to work and weather(if it was nice out, I was working, if I was off it was raining).

Honestly, I only miss my trivia night, which is supposed to be tonight. Bartenders love us, trivia hostess love us, other teams know and hate us. :p I miss my $1.50 tacos and awesome foreign beers.

 

I think this will be the 1st NFL draft I watch tonight since they greedily moved it to Thursdays.

When I lived in my apartment, (with my wife, dog, and 3.5 year old) it was always anxiety inducing getting into the elevator every day during this. Lived on the sixth floor so the stairs were not really an option.

 

Now that I'm moved into my house, I could do this forever. It's completely different day to day stress wise.

I miss going to my local mall every Saturday for Smash Brothers tournaments. 

 

The NFL draft has been the only TV event that I've been looking forward to for over a month since all of the other sports have been cancelled.

Texas will allow theaters to reopen May 1st, it looks like. We will reopen the drive in then, but doubtful about our indoor. Don’t quite feel comfortable with the idea yet.

Would you have to show classic movies or are they releasing anything good?

We would primarily play older releases. There are newer movies like Trolls available.

For someone more educated on this than myself, what's the latest on the mailed stimulus checks? Are they still saying months?

There is a schedule posted on a bunch of websites. But basically each week they will process in $10000 AGI increments from lowest to highest.

The thing I'm struggling with right now is limited access to medical care. I was finally able to get a test done on my wrists, which confirmed that I have "severe" carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists. I have an appointment for a consultation with a specialist in 2 weeks, but if things aren't relaxed at least a little bit, it could be months before I can get treatment. I completely understand why they're limiting the number of procedures done, and I know plenty of people are having worse problems than me, but I'm getting really sick of this.

Hidden Outbreaks Spread Through Major US Cities Far Earlier Than Originally Thought

 

Quote

By the time New York City confirmed its first case of the coronavirus on March 1, thousands of infections were already silently spreading through the city, a hidden explosion of a disease that many still viewed as a remote threat as the city awaited the first signs of spring. Hidden outbreaks were also spreading almost completely undetected in Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle, long before testing showed that each city had a major problem, according to a model of the spread of the disease by researchers at Northeastern University who shared their results with The New York Times.cEven in early February — while the world focused on China — the virus was not only likely to be spreading in multiple American cities, but also seeding blooms of infection elsewhere in the United States, the researchers found.

Yeah i thought it would have been obvious that this was likely spreading in January leading to the explosion in late Feb, likely from asymptomatic or minor symptom carriers traveling from Asia and Europe, especially in cities where so they trend much younger and more likely to feel less of the effects, making the discovery take longer.

Thanks, just checked the schedule and yeah, I guess I'm fucked because IRS.gov won't actually let me enter my direct deposit information as instructed. Cool.

China coronavirus cases may have been four times official figure, says study

Quote

 

More than 232,000 people may have been infected in the first wave of Covid-19 in mainland China, four times the official figures, according to a study by Hong Kong researchers.

 

China reported more than 55,000 cases as of 20 February but, according to research by academics at Hong Kong University’s school of public health, published in the Lancet, the true number would have been far greater if the definition of a Covid-19 case that was later used had been applied from the outset.

 

China has now reported more than 83,000 cases. Globally, the death toll from the coronavirus has exceeded 184,000, with the number of cases worldwide standing at more than 2.6m.

Cuomo is giving McConnell HELL right now... everybody should fund McConnell's opponent right now

 

Here's here campaign page.

 

Cuomo just now in response to McConnell's "No Blue state bail out" comment: " New York State puts in X-amount of billions of dollars more into the Federal pot than it takes out... Kentucky takes out X-amount of hundreds of billions of dollars more than it puts in. Whose state is getting bailed out?" :clap:

It’s really insane to me that a politician from a nobody state like Kentucky has that much power.

Canada's top doctor (Dr. Theresa Tam) is now being harassed and assaulted online by conservatives for "working for China," and other things. Could it possibly be because she is ethnically Chinese and was born in Hong Kong? I'm sure that's a coincidence. A Conservative leadership candidate went as far as to accuse her of putting China and the WHO ahead of Canada, and called for her to step down. The current Conservative leader (and other leadership contenders) have been asked their opinion on these comments...and have been silent. The Conservatives are playing to their racist base yet again, using dog whistle anti-Chinese comments to foment distrust in public health officials.

That guy is getting called out on twitter for that post. Scheer is a POS for not calling him out which is just adding up to a bunch of reasons why the CPC is tanking in the polls right now.

Cuomo just said in a study of 3,000 random NYC residents, 14% had antibodies.

 

That could mean up to 2.7 million New Yorkers had coronavirus.

 

Right now I don't trust anything to do with antibody testing due to the inaccuracy of the tests. Some of these antibody tests apparently show positives for people who have antibodies for other, similar viruses. I don't think there is a good, standardized test available yet which has been tested and shown to be very (95%+) accurate. Having said that, I certainly hope those numbers are correct as it would indicate that the virus is less deadly than thought (though obviously still far more deadly than flu, etc).

Bro you’ve literally been posting stuff like ‘some epidemiologist on the radio said the wind can blow it 20 feet’.

I read that earlier and the mere idea of presenting this like fucking NEW YORK out of all places needs a 'hand out' would be hilarious if it weren't reality.
