Buffer: I’ve been to that restaurant... it’s good but, like, not that good.
There’s this great interview to our equivalent to Dr.
Fauci; it’s really impressive how public officials are more eager to participate when the product isn’t in the country’s predominant language:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I like this part in particular:

Great article. Shocking to hear of policy decisions being made by the experts! I hope Mexico weathers the storm; anecdotally it sounds like the disease is pretty widespread.

Its probably really widespread... We have carried out very few tests because the government has chosen to rely on their sentinel philosophy quite heavily. Of the five people I know that have COVID19, three of them were never contacted by the feds nor were their tests “official ” because labs weren’t allowed to carry them out in the beginning... So they’re u nnofficially sick.
I read a while ago that they really want to pump testing numbers up, specially during April. It'd be a good thing...

If only we could do the same:
“ And in Mexico I feel very encouraged due to the fact that we have a president who from the beginning said: these decisions are scientific, they are technical and the experts will take them. We had the G20 meeting a week ago, I had the privilege of accompanying the president in the videoconference. He opened his speech by saying “I share with you that in Mexico these decisions are those of the specialists”.”

This is the problem here in Michigan for sure, and I’m sure other states, who is essential?
“ The measure, as you know, says that essential activities will remain open. The whole world assumes that they are essential: and so the steel sector comes, the construction sector comes, the beer sector comes! In the last 72 hours the beermakers were defending themselves. The best defence against these pressures has been to keep ourselves in the technical realm. It is not a political decision to marginalise or discriminate one sector from the other. It is a technical decision and what we want is for there to be fewer people in the public space. So for whichever sector that can promise to keep their operations to a minimum, it would be feasible to keep it running. But if a sector just because it has economic power, comes to say, “I want to remain open even if I do not remove superfluous administrative activities, marketing, and so on…” well, no. What has protected us is the technical.”

My state has flattened the curve quite extremely because so many of us work in fields that really don’t need to work at our offices. That allowed people in our region to flatten the curve so extremely that we’re now predicting less than half of the original projected death toll ...

I’m waiting for the POS wingnuts to claim that because of the low numbers, the measures weren’t needed at all, not grasping that lower numbers are because of the measures.

Oh, well... He said that... But there was an executive order published yesterday (after the interview, mind you) saying that steel, concrete, glass and construction companies with federal contracts can’t stop producing because they can’t delay three infrastructure proj ects; the refinery, the airport, and the peninsular train.

It’ll be like the anti-vaccine arguments, which only have room to grow because the treatment works. I’m staying out of the comments section of any news site....

No doubt the overlap between the Coronahoaxers and anti-vaxxers is pretty tight.
Legit news sites shouldn’t have comments sections at all.

That’s a great thing. Our peak is suppose to hit this week. Not sure if we are beating predictions or not, but over 3000 deaths. We found out a crap load of the front line folks in two of the hospital systems tested positive, something like 2000 between the two.
