By JesalR Go To PostMy office is shutting down at the end of this week. Really not looking forward to working from homeIf you've never done it before, set weekly, daily, and half-day goals to keep yourself on track.
I must say jerking off now is kinda awkward. What if my dick melts off
anyway I was in a wedding two weeks ago and one of the ladies tested positive so if I die or something, I want someone to help bud finish Sekiro and some emotional support for Fender with Nioh.
That's all.

Dr. Helen Y. Chu, an infectious disease expert in Seattle, knew that the United States did not have much time.
In late January, the first confirmed American case of the coronavirus had landed in her area. Critical questions needed answers: Had the man infected anyone else? Was the deadly virus already lurking in other communities and spreading?
As luck would have it, Dr. Chu had a way to monitor the region. For months, as part of a research project into the flu, she and a team of researchers had been collecting nasal swabs from residents experiencing symptoms throughout the Puget Sound region.
To repurpose the tests for monitoring the coronavirus, they would need the support of state and federal officials. But nearly everywhere Dr. Chu turned, officials repeatedly rejected the idea, interviews and emails show, even as weeks crawled by and outbreaks emerged in countries outside of China, where the infection began.
By Feb. 25, Dr. Chu and her colleagues could not bear to wait any longer. They began performing coronavirus tests, without government approval.
What came back confirmed their worst fear. They quickly had a positive test from a local teenager with no recent travel history.
Federal and state officials said the flu study could not be repurposed because it did not have explicit permission from research subjects; the labs were also not certified for clinical work. While acknowledging the ethical questions, Dr. Chu and others argued there should be more flexibility in an emergency during which so many lives could be lost. On Monday night, state regulators told them to stop testing altogether.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/coronavirus-testing-delays.html
The failure to tap into the flu study, detailed here for the first time, was just one in a series of missed chances by the federal government to ensure more widespread testing during the early days of the outbreak, when containment would have been easier. Instead, local officials across the country were left to work in the dark as the crisis grew undetected and exponentially.
We should rename it the Trump Virus now.
This is starting to affect my work. We had an order of 20 wireless access points for a school that was supposed to be delivered this month but has now changed to end of May, we also had an order of 5 laptops for our department that had to be changed because the supplier run out of stock of the model in question due to everyone buying laptops to work from home.

GOP ā¦ see this is proof government should stay out of healthcare.
On the other side of the country in Seattle, Dr. Chu and her flu study colleagues, unwilling to wait any longer, decided to begin running samples.Nice.
A technician in the laboratory of Dr. Lea Starita who was testing samples soon got a hit.
āIām like, āOh my God,āā Dr. Starita said. āI just took off runningā to the office of the studyās program managers. āWe got one,ā she told them. āWhat do we do?ā
Members of the research group discussed the ethics of what to do next.
āWhat we were allowed to do was to keep it to ourselves,ā Dr. Chu said. āBut what we felt like we needed to do was to tell public health.ā
They decided the right thing to do was to inform local health officials.
The case was a teenager, in the same county where the first coronavirus case had surfaced, who had a flu swab just a few days before but had no travel history and no link to any known case.
The state laboratory, finally able to begin testing, confirmed the result the next morning. The teenager, who had recovered from his illness, was located and informed just after he entered his school building. He was sent home and the school was later closed as a precaution.
Later that day, the investigators and Seattle health officials gathered with representatives of the C.D.C. and the F.D.A. to discuss what happened. The message from the federal government was blunt. āWhat they said on that phone call very clearly was cease and desist to Helen Chu,ā Dr. Lindquist remembered. āStop testing.ā

All GOP is really proving is GOP should stay out of government.

Great. Looking forward to blowing all my PT on corona virus
By Laboured Go To PostAmerica is hilarious.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostAmerica is hilarious.Look, we love having the choice of which insurer is going to screw us over and not cover covid testing.
Profiteering during crisis, what else is new in the type of capitalist system we got. Acting in bad faith whether to sell things or have things sold unto you is how our society works. Shit like snake oil selling are features not bugs.

They could make one one tmr but it has to go through testing to make sure it's safe and effective.

At least online, I've seen quite a few people notice anti-vaxers freaking the fuck out about this and commenting. Never underestimate an American's capacity to be against something until it affects them. See abortion.
I donāt see how massive shutdown is sustainable. We donāt have the infrastructure to help people survive the sorts of work gaps they could be in for. A tax cut isnāt a realistic solution.
