    And then visit this: https://www.aei.org/covid-2019-action-tracker/

    Does it have ALL cases, probably not.
    It also bothers me that the LRI calculation (and the subsequent heat map) does not factor in the number of test performed.
    Also, we don't know if tested is concentration to specific businesses or residences (like nursing homes)

    However, you can see the volume of tests for your county and whether there's a spike. The reg version simply breaks the results down by age and gender.
    No data for my county. New cases announced here last week but no data on testing that I can find anywhere. I keep hoping that site will offer something but still nada.

    New Zealand would be the people who killed it, though, wouldn't they? Or are they still waiting for a case or two to resolve?

    I think they've won, though. At this point they can test anyone coming in and I'm betting demand among would-be tourists is peaking pretty hard right about now. It's been on our list for a while but this whole mess moved it up significantly.

    I was referring to the observation from Milan. Yes it clearly hasn't run out of victims in CA. And my money is still on behavioral change as the cause of the drop in cases in Milan.

The problem with the boomers isn't that there are so many of them, it's that they've worked so hard to defund and break these social programs for 40 years with success no matter who is in the OO.



    Calling Ronald Reagan a baby boomer might be a stretch. The defunding of the social safety net started with him and he is still the spiritual head of the "government is the problem" movement as it continues under baby boomer leadership. If you think it won't continue once the boomers are dead and gone you're delusional. Greed and a lack of empathy are traits that do not observe generational boundaries. Elizabeth Warren is a boomer, so is little Donald (by a whisker). Generational stereotyping--be it of boomers, millenials, or anyone else, is just lazy thinking.

    As far paying into the social safety net in order to be provided for in old age--current Medicare and SS recipients, of which I am one, are receiving far more in benefits than we contributed. We did not pay for ourselves while we worked; we are being supported by those currently working (damn few at the moment.) Those programs have been a third rail since enacted. The pre boomer generation voted to keep them intact when they reached retirement age, the boomers are doing it now, and all subsequent generations will do so when it's their turn to cash in.

    Gen-X here and I am not planning on SS being available to me when the time comes, esp if we have to endure 4 more years of rumpelstiltskin.

    Chile is changing the criteria for defining covid-19 deaths, increasing the totals now, making things even uglier. No light at the end of the tunnel here....

    Pretty clear that isn't as important to people as the services Amazon provides.

    There are 85+ crew members on a fishing trawler? I had no idea, my knowledge of fishing is from watching A Perfect Storm

    That’s no trawler; that’s a factory ship.

    Same boat that accidentally rammed the Canadian warship HMCS Winnipeg about 5 or more years ago.

    edit: and local news says it now 86 positive.

    Where the fuck do they find 140 people willing to work on a factory trawler? That would be fucking miserable work. Trips are probably at least week and maybe substantially more. Cold, wet, dangerous and probably pays shit.

    A week? No, those poor souls are out for a lot longer than that. No way that beast is wasting fuel heading to port more than necessary. They offload their fish to tenders so they can fish nonstop.

    Yeah, more like months. The boat leaves Seattle, sails to Alaska, then drops fish off on the way back. I see that boat, or one of her sister ships here every year (Bellingham Cold Storage is the largest portside facility on the west coast).

    Entry-level jobs probably do pay shit, but there are definitely well paying career jobs onboard as well.

    Fish from those boats probably leave in the shape of a breaded square.
