A few of those reports have been retracted.

Not an epidemiologist but from what I’ve read, they had varying degrees of mortality, infectiousness and symptom presentation and both aren’t as easily transmitted. One big difference is neither seem to be transmitted while patients are presymptomatic. 

Pulse ox to diagnose COVID-19 is silly. You use it like the doctor says: to know when your symptoms are bad enough to warrant going to the hospital.

At this point, I’ve given up on grocery stores for pickup. But a local road side stand had someone offer to create a website for them and now they’re offering online ordering and curbside pickup. Hopefully they don’t get too swamped but they put their website up over the weekend and their order slots are now a week…

It’s like asking why there’s no Cut/Copy/Paste button. It’s literally been the same command for probably decades.

There are actually test lungs that can be used. One is called QuickLung.

They actually are. This is part of the CARES act. There’s a program for small businesses to get a loan that is forgivable as long as they do not layoff people or rehire them by June.

You should probably recheck your math. $500,000,000 divided by 329,000,000 is about a buck fifty per person.

I think it was the NY Times that put forth a good argument for wearing masks by the general public. 1) You can spread the virus for anywhere from 2-14 days while asymptomatic so it’s better to wear it in public on the chance that you’re in that asymptomatic period. 2) If everyone wears it, it removes the stigma of…

F1 also announced they’ll be running an esports race on Sunday also, I think 2 hours later. I think they’re replacing all the postponed/canceled races with esport versions.

I keep extra money in my checking account for exactly that. My reasoning is the interest I lose on a few thousand dollars is less than the potential cost of triggering an overdraft or missing a payment.

Big deal. A local street by me is 40 mph for the majority of it, except it drops to 25 mph for two schools. Someone went around knocking down the 25 mph signs and for two months, people were flying by school zones at 45 mph.

Genius! I got annoyed at Assistant the other day for reminding me to pay bills I paid a month ago.

Kia dealers are like a step above Buy Here Pay Here lots so I’m not surprised.

I was just thinking I needed something like this. It’d be nice if it also notified you when something on your list became available on Hulu or Netflix or wherever.

The cars look great as is. I just wish the tracks were better.

After a little “is it unlocked? Wait, now pull it. Hang on...” awkwardness, I managed to get the door (whoa that’s heavy) open

Lol Neutral: I went from Merc to Bimmer to Tesla so...

That’s kind of his point though. It solves the parking problem: by always being on the road.

This is a better illustration:
