    I'm not quite sure how they came to this graphic. Perhaps these projections come from "officials" of each state, or they're taking into account different variables into their models. Not sure how it's possible to have so many different timeframes in one area. That would be like Long island peaking in two months while Brooklyn peaks in two weeks, just doesn't really make sense to me. Although, it seems like everyone has it in Brooklyn already.

    It might be that different states use different consultants with different models. NY is using McKenzie, which says it’ll peak at the end of April. Some other models say NY will peak in a week.

    Probably so, but they don't seem to explain that to viewers properly.

    US Nonfarm payrolls number out this morning for March -- disastrous. 701,000 jobs lost in March, vs. the ~100,000 expected.

    It's insane. This lockdown hasn't even been one month. Some of these fucking cunts. They squandered all their money on suits and cars and now they're letting people go they have worked with for years.

    I’m glad Juve’s players took a pay cut so hopefully the non- playing staff doesn’t have to. Look at Tottenham, their players haven’t been asked for a wage cut, but their non playing staff have.

    As good as these things sound, it's still a long way off. My girlfriend works in the lab for J&J and specializes in this sort of studies. You'd think it's sort of the last step they have to take, but it still takes ages under normal cirucmstances.

    MIT proposing a bluetooth contact-tracing software for smartphones. Probably a privacy nightmare but interesting concept.

    I'm not against tempororary restrictions on my right to privacy, if it would help others stay alive or help our society economically. The problem is though that very often we agree to certain terms in a moment of crisis and then these terms are never changed back.

    No matter how long it will take (18 months or whatever), at least there is some progress

    Agreed its a long way off, these things never happen over night from what I understand. But it's nice to see results, despite how small the samples are, that are positive.

    Seems that the virus having close similarities to SARS in the past allowed virologists to know right where they needed to attack the virus. Hopefully that speeds up the vaccine process.

    Didn't see your response to the post on privacy tracking. Anyway, its not like these tech companies/govies don't already track us anyway (lol) so I'm for this technology as long as when this all dies down you can remove it.

    FYI - Trump is going to go after 3M (the company) it looks like. LOL follow their stock.
