Move? Cause my neighbor drunkenly fell in a fire pit?? That would be like leaving Lyon cause someone smoked a cig next to me at a restaurant patio... Sure, the smoke is annoying but there are a lot more reasons to stay put. If I have to explain to you why UT beats a whole host of other places I could uproot myself to we'd be at it for way longer than I care.

It's, em, interesting. Black comedy. Buscemi is pretty cool as Nikita Khrushchev. None of the actors even attempt a Russian accent. It would be useful to have some knowledge of the actual real life characters portrayed before watching. Stalin was a murderous psycho.

Another resource for masks. These are made in Washington. My GF bought one and is very happy with it. Note: they no longer have the behind the head straps. Lots of colors to choose from.

Holy crap.
Carnival, which was criticized after outbreaks at sea, plans to restart cruises before summer ends.
The cruise giant Carnival Corporation said on Monday that it planned to reopen cruising on eight of its ships before the end of the summer.
Carnival has canceled service on some of its lines through September, but it said it was planning to offer cruises from ports in Galveston, Texas; Miami; and Port Canaveral, Fla., as early as Aug. 1. Carnival has more than 100 ships across its various brands.
Carnival, the world’s largest cruise line, has been at the center of the pandemic since the beginning, when it was widely blamed for a series of major outbreaks that spread the disease across the world. Last week, Congress began investigating the company’s handling of the virus, asking it to turn over internal communications related to the pandemic.
It is unclear how the outbreak will look in August. The day the company announced its plans to restart some cruises, some federal agencies were privately projecting a steady rise in cases and deaths over the next several weeks, reaching about 3,000 daily deaths on June 1.
In its statement on Monday, Carnival said that all North American cruises set to depart between June 27 and July 31 would be canceled.
“We will use this additional time to continue to engage experts, government officials and stakeholders on additional protocols and procedures to protect the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we serve,” the company said.

Surgical masks all used to be cloth. I don't know what kind of cloth was used. They were before my time (although I did work with cloth gowns and drapes. A lot of surgeons use their own surgical caps although they tend to be disgusting, unlike in the old days when the hospital supplied them and washed them every day.
I was reading (April 6 New Yorker) that the Chinese (always the Chinese) invented vaccination for smallpox a thousand years ago, long before Jenner. They used live small pox virus obtained from the pustules of small pox sufferers. Professional vaccinators knew how to tell which pustules had just the right amount of virus to cause a mild case of the disease--enough to elicit an immune response but not enough to kill the recipient or cause disfigurement.
Assuming that the severity of Covid 19 is dose-dependent, maybe we need to stop washing our groceries but still should avoid close prolonged contact with unmasked people, so that we self vaccinate with low doses of the virus.
WARNING: Do not actually try this. It is a wildly speculative, unproven hypothesis and the product of a fading mind.

IHME originally projected based on infections during lockdown following the Wuhan trajectory. Anyone paying attention knew we didn't lockdown as strongly. Within a few weeks, it was also clear the weaker lockdown was having a weaker effect.
That is, IHME gave us a best case scenario. We went offscript and got a different outcome. In IHME's model, we'd have close to zero new cases by now, and we'd be looking at gradually reopening the economy while maintaining total suppression.10/01/2012 Site was upgraded to 300 baud.

I haven't read IHME's new assumptions about how effectively Americans will reduce transmission. Looks to me like they are still too optimistic. Based on all the talk of reopening, we'll be lucky to hold new infections steady.
I don't see us hitting the IHME low end. To hit the low end (95,092), we'd need to go Wuhan-style against the virus or a miracle treatment. I do expect even chance we exceed the high end. I fear Americans are collectively too dumb to outsmart a brainless virus. I loathe the death toll (and injuries?).
Current infections are running 30k per day, deaths 2k per day. Not much trend up or down, slightly down, somewhat noisy. With 66,000 deaths on May 2, add 30 days * 2k, brings us 126,000 dead on June 1. If we keep the same behavior, we're looking at 250,000 dead on August 1.
* Standard disclaimer about projecting 3 months subject to wild inaccuracies. If we blow it in May, doubling daily infections, we can easily exceed 400,000 dead by August 1.
Oops, just noticed IHME is projection through August. Add another 60,000 dead, 100,000 more if we blow May.10/01/2012 Site was upgraded to 300 baud.

That's exactly what I was thinking A few beers + my table saw and I'm wondering why the fuck do I have to be so motivated in these times. Be tipsy, self, or motivated, NOT both. Post and drink, don't work and drink!
As for WFH, just one counterpoint which I know is worthless, but WFH sucks IMO. Some industries it's impossible, and in general some workers are going to revolt. Mainly ones with kids.
