I’d take that with a grain of salt: the source for the article is the Peterson Institute, which measures everything from the perspective of international banking. Comparing their cumulative per-capita deaths to the US is especially disingenuous, as their excellent national health care system has rendered their death rate nominal while ours is skyrocketing.

That said, I don’t regret having spent most of this year in Norway instead of Sweden.

I watched about 5 minutes of today’s coronavirus briefing, and was sickened by Azar and Pence’s insistence that schools open, and Pence continuing to straight up lie about how the coronavirus doesn’t affect children. (And even if it doesn’t what about their parents, grandparents, teachers, and all the other adults they will interact with on a daily basis while they are going to school? Fuck 'em, right?)

Quelle surprise.

We believe that the takeaway for every American, particularly in those states that are impacted is keep doing what you’re doing

Fucking sack of shit. Him, Redfield, Trump, all of them.

Sadly not true. A real Pepys quote would contain more references to whoring and shitting in the Thames on the way home from a bender.

Oh well, a good quote is a good quote.

So that Texas GOP convention in Houston with no masks that I was pissed about? Houston’s mayor has finally stepped up and canceled it.

Quote from article “He [GOP Tx chairman] added that Turner had allowed protesters to peaceably assemble in the city, and argued the convention should be equally protected.”
Because outdoor protests lasting a few hours with most participants wearing masks is the same thing as 6k people indoors for 2 days without masks. /s

Out of how many? How many ICUs are available, still? How many are not available?

I’m not asking to question the WTH of this, because this is bad either way. But I don’t know, and before I start my unavoidable mostly internal rant, I need more context.
