K3s is a lot easier to get working on rhel and fedora. Canonical tends to build things in ways that makes it barely work on Ubuntu and completely fail everywhere else. Same with lxc. I was a bit upset rhel dropped it in 8 and then I tried to get it running and saw the horror show and decided to rather look at rootfs podman.
1k/mo would make a huge difference for me even, but it sounded like a one time payment in the article.
That's basically the UK "herd immunity" which experts think is kinda crazy, also it's not even known that a long-lasting immunity is created for this virus in people who are infected either symptomatically or not.

iirc it requires numbers closer to 2/3rds of a population.
> that would imply we're going to need to quarantines for a few weeks every few weeks for, what, a year? More? There's no way this action is sustainable.

That's exactly what it implies (or a continuous lockdown for months). It may seem like a crazy proposition today after a century of life being relatively tame, but WWII lasted six years.

This is what we're facing. We're in survival mode through the end of the year. It is crazy, but we'll get through it.
The President of the U.S. has said this, but pretty much any medical expert I've seen on television has said there's zero evidence to support that assertion at this point.

In other words, don't count on it (additionally, ignoring any "medical information" that comes out of POTUS' mouth is likely a good idea, too).
Telling the population to do social distancing and hoping they actually follow through is a fool's game. Several states have realized this and started taking measures into their own hands. This includes closing all resturaunts, schools and movie theaters. What they should do next is give the police P95 masks and disposable gloves and train them to use them. This would allow them to have the police drive around and distribute food to families that need it so they don't have to go to the store. They should also heavily incentivize all businesses to give their employees time paid off right now, or allow their employees to work from home.
Perhaps an equivalent as in France could help? Macron has stated that no company, regardless of size, will go under merely as a result of this crisis.

To that end, any French company at risk of going under will be allowed to stop paying rent and taxes during the shutdown.

Are you sure you are talking about Kind and not minikube for instance? for me Kind is the most efficient way of running a real cluster on my machine, a bare cluster merely takes 600MB for RAM in my case and the creation takes too long only in the first time because it downloads the docker images.
How long did it take them to no longer expect herd immunity to build? 12 hours? That must be one of the most ridiculous acts of about-face in public policy in this generation.

The most of USA is going in to two week lock down if you look at schools, restaurants, a lot of white collar jobs, etc.

What do you think everyone is going to do all day? Every kid in the country is about to use the internet at the same time.

I think we're going to see a lot of outages over the next two weeks.
The supermarket is not necessarily an optional trip. People have to eat, and if they're not eating in cafes, they're going to get their food at the market.
Well when it comes to potential help from the federal government, I have no idea what form that will take. Most likely it'll be in loans. However, given what the federal reserve did recently, they did actually just give loans out and are expecting a repayment or they purchased income producing assets from large businesses. They did not simply give money away, and are expecting it back. If the federal government follows suit, they stand to make a lot of money from this, as they did during the last recession. The United States government has a rather good history of profiting from bailouts.

[deleted, got numbers wrong]
At an R0 of 2, with no interventions, eventually half the population has had the virus and (hopefully) gained immunity. Now each person only spreads it to 1 other person, because the other person they would have infected is immune. (If R0 was 1, the epidemic would end as soon as the next person in the chain is immune.) This is where the people saying that the virus will definitely eventually infect 70% of everyone are coming from.

Re is effective spread rate, taking into account natural immunity, vaccination, contact tracing, etc. By definition, if Re>1 the epidemic is growing exponentially and if less it is shrinking.
This. I expect duplication every three days where I'm writing this until the effects of lockdown measures show up clearly in around two weeks time.

Think about something akin to some sort of nuclear reactor with control rods up you've just started to insert.
No, that's just another way of predicting the market. Which nobody can do.

It's conceivable (not likely or easy) that the Senate could under some circumstances vote to remove Pence and Trump, but it is absolutely not conceivable that they would do both so close together that whichever they did second would be unable to appoint a new VP before being removed. It's also not conceivable that the democrat majority House would ever appoint Romney as speaker.
The flattening strategies are like holding your breath, you can't do it forever. But vaccines are not the only way in which we get better at dealing with the virus. Long before we get a vaccine we will get better not only at treating Covid-19 (which will increase the effective medical capacity) but also at keeping the gears turning without too much viral spread. With a bit of luck and a few logistical winning moves we might be able to let this play out safely not that much later than current unrealistic expectations.
I have an old Windex spray bottle that ive filled with rubbing alcohol and I've been blasting everything with extreme paranoia.

Honestly statistically speaking in most areas out chances of coming into contact with the virus are still quite low. There's 300MM+ people here and even if 1MM are infected, those are good odds.

This is true, the influenza virus contains 8 small strands of RNA, which means that two different influenza viruses can combine to create a novel one.

It's plausible that COVID-19 will lead to behavioural change around hygiene and remote work, greater travel restrictions and possibly even a degree of acceptance of periodic lockdowns, but the idea humanity as a whole is going to permanently shift towards social distancing after millennia of doing the opposite stretches credulity. At risk groups moving towards social distancing, maybe [for some old people that won't even be much of a change], but that's where the theoretical possibility of herd immunity of the general population not in permanent isolation comes into play.

The Wikipedia article linked notes that previous trials for this drug against Ebola (which were not as successful as other treatments) had established a "safety profile." Hopefully that applies to its use here as well.
You can't really do that. If you think of this in terms of the control over the virus being a Proportion-Integral-Derivative type system, then given how long it takes to gather more information about the current infection level in the populace you're either going to overshoot after the corner(too little pressure applied) or undershoot(too much pressure applied) after the corner. You can't apply perfect control to this kind of system such that the corner is perfectly square.

Especially where our knowledge is imperfect and subject to a lot of latency, we have to accept that we have very little actual control over how quickly the curve speeds or slows. Thus the bell-shaped curves.
If you invested when the S&P peaked (June 2007) and held until now, you'd have an annualized return of 6.8% (dividends reinvested), according to this calculator.

If you look at June 2007 to Feb 2020 (missing the current dip), the return is 8.75%.

Another thing to avoid is extensive speaking. Normal speaking is surprisingly detrimental to ones singing voice.

Other folk remedies for voice include flat, room temperature Coca-Cola. I don't think anyone has demonstrated efficacy of any of these techniques, but another big factor in effective singing is mental state. If a placebo ritual helps get you in the correct frame of mind to sing, then it might just be worth doing. The destructive alternative is to get intoxicated before a performance.

I have also been thinking about having the military come in and start building hospitals. The president seemed to have no qualms about using that power for his wall.

But on the other hand, doing so might greatly decrease military readiness. Let’s not add a major war to the list of catastrophes. But I’d love to hear what military buffs think.

we can already observe this on the health side, there was quite a good amount of monitoring and collaboration (too late and too little) but nothing compared to 100 years ago pandemic for instance

we have a bit more tools to work with and a bit more knowledge. hopefully (hopefully) we can flatten the dip too :)

You know what I'm interested in? What will the effect be on non-corona diseases with already lower RE?

Are we going to see some disease, such as measles, eliminated? What about chicken pox? The flu?

I'm really curious as to how this ends up affecting disease in society. I don't know if it will be enough to eliminate corona, but this may be enough to kill off other diseases.

This is very effective in my experience.

This kind of simplicity always gets praise in work environments, without explicitly being identified as "simplicity".

Your rewrite was particularly skilled. Sometimes, it's hard to see that some things aren't adding value.

Another tip:

-In Emails, liberally use new paragraphs. Sometimes, even one sentence paragraphs are ok.

I think this is because any way of compartmentalizing writing in non-trivial ways improves comprehension. It gives cues on how to digest the ideas in the writing.

> That seems like a very arbitrary distinction, and I'm not sure how one arrives there.

I think a blurring of the difference between "things that the government can do" and "things that a private company can do" is a very unfortunate (and also very deliberate) development in modern society.

To me, the distinction is far from arbitrary; it is fundamental. Democratic governments are elected, and at least nominally accountable to the people over whom they exercise their reserved rights; for-profit companies are generally accountable only to their shareholders, not to those over whom they exercise these privileges—and technically to governments, although governments seem unwilling to exercise much of that right of restraint.

(This is a response to your point about the distinction being arbitrary, not to your question about private companies analyzing data. If a dataset of which I am a part is used without identifying me as part of it, or after obtaining my consent to be included in it, then my qualms about it go away. If, however, the company gathering this information, while counting the traffic flow of which I am a part, decides to sell information about where they've noticed I like to shop to advertisers, then, yes, that's a moral red flag for me.)
Every generation inherits a world full of the problems created or only half-solved by the generation before it. It's not unique to our generation and it won't be unique to the next one, unless the young people are the first generation of perfect people capable of living their lives without creating a single new problem for the next generation.

The older generation also solved a lot of problems, and gave us great gifts, as did every generation before them, and as we will for the ones that follow us.

It's not productive to try to pit the young against the old, and the GP is right to point out that you too will be old one day, if you're lucky, so it's certainly unwise to reform the system so that it discriminates against the very group you should hope to join someday (and sooner than you would imagine, sooner than anyone wishes), especially considering the alternative.
so, only a fraction will be infected? What's your evidence for that assumption? Or it's burnt out in Wuhan? How can Italy have like the same fatality number for _a lot_ less people? Basically we don't know and we've been following experts claiming "it's a flu" for about 3 months. Then people started dying in Wuhan, Iran, Italy? Don't you think that we should maybe try something different now?
We need taxes on vacancies. Encourage people to let property go to people who can put it to some use. Prevent blight and crime, etc, too.
It's obviously not as simple as you conjecture. For the simple reason that the blockchain is simply a record of transactions on anonymous public keys. Generating a new private-public key pair can be done trivially and secretly.

Everyday thousands of illicit transactions are carried out on the blockchain. The US government has never shown a shortage of force when it comes to stopping drug dealers. Yet the number of people who've been arrested based on blockchain analysis can be counted on one hand.
You’re assuming things will return to “normal” after things start improving.

Businesses, big and small, are going to take a huge hit from this that will take a long time to recover from. Probably more than most (all?) of is have seen in our lifetime.

Seems like this is something we’ve never faced before, and it’s not that highly unlikely that we’ll see some pretty nasty and long-term impacts from this.
True! I missed that.

Digging into it, they also had an incredible testing network, which is claimed to be a key differentiator. In the US, the government is actively telling people not to get tested on their own judgements.

I too would prefer much better visibility over a shelter in place order. Unfortunately, we have next to no visibility. So lacking that, I would prefer dramatic measures.
Young people are underestimating the risk to themselves. A 0.1% IFR still justifies spending $20k a person to avoid.

TFA closes with an interesting proposal, but somehow I doubt that we'll get there before social collapse and martial law.

Huh? What's the basis for that?

> The concerns are that China, Japan, and South Korea may have actually pushed social distancing too far. Israel and now Italy are going even further to keep the virus out altogether.

I see no date on TFA, but this statement implies that it's maybe a week old.
>Italy has universal health and it is not helping

You can't just sat that universal health care isn't helping in Italy because things are bad there. Things might be even worse if Italy didn't have universal health care.
I think a lot of the waits are very location driven.

I do agree it's an extraordinary case.

That is exactly what is happening in Malaysia and Taiwan right now.

Most worried about handling my 2 year old. It's hard to keep up with him during just the weekend even.
Taiwan's extremely successful strategy combines thorough testing and tracing with other measures to slow down the spread, much like what the WHO is recommending but no one else seems to be doing.

Very early on they instituted a 14-day quarantine period for anyone arriving from mainland China (later expanding this to Hong Kong and Macau), Korea, Italy and Iran. As of today, this now applies to the entire Schengen area (i.e., most of the EU).

The government has also taken over mask production (increasing capacity) and distribution (with a rationing system and an online map of where they can be bought).

Their website is very informative, with very transparent information about how many have been tested, confirmed, recovered, etc.: https://www.cdc.gov.tw/En
Johnson Tells All U.K. Citizens to Stay at Home in Virus Fight
Nope it's very different than the UK pseudo plan (apparently they don't really have such plan). I mean, if there was a simple way to test _before_ people get infected, if they'll develop just very mild symptoms, we could do it. Even if you need more than 50%, 50% is still a lot of a barrier that lowers the virus R0 a lot.
Nobody is dying in the streets of the UK. This is silly nonsense.
He can give Larry Ellison a call to buy his island will all the infrastructure needed (Ellison owns most of Lanai island)
25 to 35% growth rates seem like the norm withiut (or nearly withiut) any restrictions and nearly no public awareness. That a full lockdown quickly stops the spread is obvious, but it will be interesting to see how well the UK/Swedish model works with. strict social distancing but without lickdowns or even shutdowns of e.g restaurants.
Yep, and of course it's all linked to your real life identity because they basically require a phone number to use their service. This was true too of, say, WhatsApp before it enabled encryption, but with Discord it's even more insidious because most users think they are using an online pseudonym to communicate, unconnected to their real identity.
you must have missed that in the UK, unlike the rest of Europe :

- schools/nurseries open

- theatres/bars/restaurants open

- stadiums open

- large gatherings allowed

The Mayor of London was still organising mass events a few days ago ( https://www.facebook.com/sadiqforlondon/posts/30260791107781... )
For now I think governments should think about maintaining the essential necessities: food, water, electricity, while shutting down everything else. Stopping long range transports, including cars, should be a priority.

Anything that is not growing or transporting food or useful to treat patients should be shut down. It's difficult to say this, but sometimes you have to treat citizens like children. This is such a case.
indefinite does not mean infinite. effectively until a vaccine is deployed globally or global herd immunity is achieved after ten years of pandemic or however long it takes.
If we hit pre-virus peak any time in 2020, I'm selling it all and buying gold. *

The problem with this (multiple patients on one generator) is it’s far from ideal and hugely experimental. It’s not really been done for prolonged periods or in large numbers. Patients would need to be matched for physiological variables, and it may reduce modifying these parameters dynamically.
> there's no other way other than letting a non-negligible percentage of the population die.

That's not what is being said. What is being said is that specifically to avoid people dying, you need to stop ICUs being overwhelmed, but that in their judgement and modelling an immediate hard clamp down is not the best way.
