Probably hard to make much progress in her “equine” class by Zoom. (And is this really a thing in Phoenix public schools? Awesome if so.)

From the article:
“This virus is affecting the lungs, but it appears to be causing inflammation of the whole body,” Dr. Viren Kaul, a pulmonary critical care specialist at Crouse Health and an assistant professor of medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University, told ABC News.

To us they’re heros, to Republicans they are the enemy.
This is not a recent development.

WHYY, do you think that would make any difference?
(OTH, around here, I hope it to be be worthwhile pointing out (again) that the basis for The Great Toilet Paper Shortage of early 2020 is, likely, a change in consumer behaviour towards home sittings and just-in-time delivery chains. I am a bit … infatuated with the idea that mutants here enjoy some uncharmin comments on verbiage.)

Obrador has finally shut things down (apparently), and now the “business community” is really galvanized to take him down?
Specifically they’re complaining about the lack of a stimulus, but maybe they should have been spending their efforts agitating for a shutdown first.

Got this this morning (in a translated version). Tried to find the original source, don’t think this is it. But I like it.
Disclaimer: yeah, some companies like this one put their logo on pandemic viral stuff. Clicked it to check and to spare you the click. This seems to be a T-shirt shop/chain specialised on ‘geeky’ shirts. Whatever. Video is nice. Want more like it. Would be worth a viral meme party just with artwork, a bit like the pre-Raphaelite meme collections floating around.

How is this lunatic still in his job?
As of Sunday, Sweden had reported 1,540 deaths tied to Covid-19, an increase of 29 from Saturday. That’s considerably more than in the rest of Scandinavia, but much less than in Italy, Spain and the U.K., both in absolute and relative terms.
My napkin math, earlier in this thread, suggested that Sweden was radically (~50%) worse than the US, despite being much less far along relative to first transmission. Am I completely wrong somehow?

Coronavirus: Will Sweden ever have a total lockdown?
Sweden has followed a different strategy in fighting the coronavirus compared to many other countries – though the aim of protecting vulnerable groups and reducing social contacts is the same, the Nordic country has stood out for its focus on voluntary measures rather than enforcing a lockdown. Should we expect a change any time soon?

I just learned in another thread that “shitshow” has a different meaning in Denglish than in English.
