Wow! :eek:

LA will keep stay-at-home orders through to AUGUST as infections and deaths continue to rise and the county's health director warns a 'dramatic change' is needed before lockdown rules are relaxed
Guess there goes your theory about the hot weather, huh?

Haha the source code for the shitty program that predicted 500k UK deaths from Covid19 has been released on Github. As a software programmer I often look at Github repositories, mostly for 3D graphics rendering code though.


I looked at some of it and most of the code seems to be formatting and processing inputs and outputs. It uses a basic stochastic model which does not seem to do much that is complicated. Also, it is a fucking mess, one could wonder how anyone could learn anything from such horrible coding practices.

Here are some reactions to the code from other software developers.

John Carmack, the creator of the Doom and Quake PC games even worked on it, what a weird association, but it was written in C like those games so I can see why.

It’s obvioisly a control more than a safety issue...they should rethink this because it’s going to further wreck the economy...but maybe on the bright side they can make a deal with San Francisco when people go homeless?

Who voted for these guys? :rolleyes:

LA will never be completely open until we have a cure': Mayor Eric Garcetti sends terrifying warning to Angelinos one day after health director extended county lockdown by three months
  • LA Mayor Eric Garcetti gave a rambling interview with GMA Wednesday
  • He backpedaled on comments made by LA County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer on Tuesday
  • Ferrer said stay-at-home orders would 'with all certainty' be extended for the next three months
  • Garcetti said Ferrer simply meant 'health orders telling us to cover our faces and physically distance' would continue
  • But he then said LA will 'never be completely open until we have a cure' - something medical experts have warned will take many months
  • Garcetti's backtracking sparked yet more confusion among LA residents with many taking to Twitter to voice their frustrations
  • Anti-lockdown protesters marched on his residence Saturday calling for an end to stay-at-home orders
  • LA announced another 961 cases and 45 deaths on Tuesday taking its death toll to 1,613 - making up more than half of the 2,882 deaths across California

110 of the 1,500 inmates released from Rikers Island jail over covid fears have been re-arrested for new crimes - and explain the nearly FIFTY PER CENT spike in NYC burglaries last month


But trust them...You in good hands..
New York state deaths and infections drop again as NYC - once 'the epicenter of the epicenter' - inches closer to meeting the requirements for a phased reopening that could take up to two months

Who voted for the smart person with a brain? Apparantly a lot of people. Until there is a vaccine or this virus runs its course it is the smart thing to do to social distance and wear a mask when you can’t. It’s the responsible thing to do as well and it’s really only a minor inconvenience.

you people don’t want to be slightly inconvenienced to protect the public health as well as your own but expect a r*pe victim to carry a resulting pregnancy to term despite physical and emotional trauma. Hypocrite.

How do those two things equate to one another? I don’t believer the virus is all that its reported to be but I do believe that babies shouldn’t die for the crime of being conceived. ...and most babies are conceived and aborted for convenience and not due to being raped. Even if the mom is raped...should the child die? Maybe the person we should put out of their misery is the mom? But we wouldn’t do that..and we shouldn’t kill the baby either.

Your willing to kill people - living, breathing, feeling people - for convenience. Figure it out yourself. Good bye.

So if this is the case, will they want us quarantined/social distanced for the rest of our lives? Are we going to have to wear masks in public forever? Or will we just eventually go back to a reasonably normal way of life and let it do whatever it wants to do?
I think it will be forever, until they upload us to the matrix and call it a rapture.
Sorry, ascension.
Whichever.

Everybody always thinks it’s going to be forever when there in the midst of things. It never turns out t be.

I still don’t think it will last forever, but it is going to change us socially.

The services provided, the working from home.
Employers got a taste of how cost effective they can manage stuff. Give it a few more months I think, and we’ll be somewhat back to normal
