Must kill, must maim.
I don’t want to hear anyone whining about the use of “sportsball” ever again. Especially as I intend to just call it genocideball from now on.

Honest question to the lot of you: anyone knows of Twitter/telegram/whatever-bots sending out local numbers as a service?
Germany got county-level data on new positive tests, newly recovered and newly dead, 100k incident numbers, cumulative case numbers and so on.
I scripted a bit with these, and use them for myself as a kind of shortcut or kind of warning system. (Don’t want to check the local pull-news, want to get it pushed in my inbox.)
I wonder if others are doing the same. Pulling the data from the repositories is super easy in case of Germany, because someone already wrote wrapper functions. But it can be done for other parts of the world as well, so: have people been doing this?

Or, at least, that will be his excuse.

I know it is trendy to say we shouldn’t blame the students, but the ones who tested positive and are actively avoiding contact tracers so they can party should be treated like any other hoodlum. The University probably won’t do anything because they’re afraid of offending parents or losing tuition revenue, but maybe your neighborhood can.

ETA: humans typically end brain development at age 25. While college students are treated as adults, I would encourage the attitude that they are provisional adults. College administrators in a position to determine policy are probably getting close to retirement age, and should know better than to assume that college students won’t party and have sex. Bringing students together by the tens of thousands during a pandemic is the fault of administrators. College students being themselves during a pandemic is a problem that results directly from the mistakes of the administrators.

Kids who are described as “hoodlums” by the people with power in the university system are not the people attending parties as bars and frat houses, because they had to struggle to get there in the first place.
