Yep, the next "emergency" we'll see them pull out this playbook again.

I’m kind of split on the issue. We just had 3 more people tested and quarantined today at my work to make the total 4? These people had recently traveled to a Texas facility for work related issues. The Texas facility gets furloughed with no known people being tested yet we’re still an “essential business”. The fact that it takes a week+ to get results has put most people on edge, some people said f it and left today and nobody really blames them. The company says not much can be done until we have an actual confirmed case. We have been doing screenings for temps on incoming employees and much more cleaning.

This absolutely infuriates me. Get out of my ****ing phone!!!
"In his statement, Lee said his administration analyzed cell phone data and traffic patterns to reach the conclusion such a mandate was necessary. The administration said data indicated while there was a steep drop off in vehicle movement between March 13 and March 29, recently, travel has trended upward."

Can they still track it with location services turned off?🤔

But that doesn't fit the narrative from Trump and Fox News that it's China's fault for not being forthcoming with the seriousness of the issue.
Germany knew and acted quickly while Trump gambled that it would magically disappear in April!

I love when people who make a silly argument go all in.

Per 1 million people, Germany has an infected rate of 1,011 people, the U.S. rate is 725,
Per 1 million people, Germany has a death rate of 13, the U.S. rate is 18.
Germany's first case was Jan 28, the U.S. on Jan 21. Germany has 1/4th our population, almost entirely white European descent.

No one except idiots really argue that China didn't hide the outbreak for about six weeks, even as Chinese travelers were infecting the globe, or that it is still hiding the pandemic scale. A British study concluded that more than 90% of the global pandemic could have been avoided had China not concealed the truth. Our own NIH and CDC have defended Trump's response and explained how they - and "experts" globally - didn't predict the severity and scale because the evidence didn't support such conclusion. You know, how science works.

Have you tried a subject you're familiar with?

You can’t turn a smart phone off . Turning it ( tracker ) off , limits advertising that’s see where you are but doesn’t stop it . You wouldn’t believe the phone calls , texts and ads I get on my phone from going through states . If I went to Washington state , a day or two later I’ll get stuff ..calls and texts from there .

Pretty sure Trump has already called that a "crisis" multiple times and devoted all kinds of federal government resources to it. His solution to it appears to be throwing money at the problem, not issuing shelter-in-place orders. Also, I don't think popping oxycontin is highly contagious.

If that makes you mad and you have a smart phone with google on it ... you will probably take a hammer to it and throw it in a river .

Do you think having Apple OS would prevent this, or are you just talking about Google vs Siri listening?

I hope this isn't a rude awakening, but they know about the porn.

Now post the stats about their mortality rate and the they tests administered per capita. They tested early and often, and started doing it in January while we were trying to wish the virus away.

What does testing have to do with mortality rate..... the virus spreads so much by people are sick and don’t realize it.

So.... Only 2 out of my 4 tenants are able to pay rent this month. I was anticipating this, but it still really sucks. I'm thinking of a temporary addendum to the lease to distribute any unpaid rent this month equally into the remaining months of the lease.

The mortality rate now is a moving target outside China who essentially quit reporting cases or deaths.

Google does the ads and recommends things to me that I’ve had conversations about . YouTube will recommend videos to NGV that I’ve watched on my phone . Siri is always listening 👀

One reason wold bethat knowing where the concentrations of infected are could allow for measures to control the spread. In effect reducing the number of people needing simultaneous treatment, which should impact the survival rate, considering that quality of care would increase.

That's happened already with the War on Drugs. Too invasive, but they aren't randomly searching houses.

And I love it when idiots try to refute something that is irrefutable. Germany rolled out nationwide testing in late January because they took it seriously while our President said it was under control and nothing to be concerned about. By the way, you are doing the same thing as Trump and blaming our lack of quick action on China. Leading from behind is the Trump way.
