Lol.

One time there may or may not have been some functionality that was casually implemented for ... science?... on some equipment regarding geo tagging of devices based on a live stream of such data, available commercially by subscription, just to see if it would work. All copies of the alleged code may have then been deleted due to the somewhat terrifying implications of said possible implementation.

Which one?

Savage :clap:

We had 1 new covid case here today I believe

The politicians are talking about how the vaccine will be rolled out

Until it is rolled out it is still anyones guess though

What the hell is going on in the US, the news said your averaging 200,000 new cases a day now and lots and lots of deaths

Are people spreading this on purpose, don't understand contamination control, or just dont a fark

I get 3rd world countries lossing control, but what the hell

The vaccine is still along way away from being released for the genpop, people need to sort their shit out

#tcoat I want my vaccine superpower to be linguistics like that guy in the latest Jamanji movie, I reckon knowing Mandarin might come in real handy in the future what with China now being the leading superpower that hasn't self imploded

18041 in my county yesterday.

Yep, 218k new cases and 2,918 new deaths with a total of 283k deaths. It is too bad the vaccine couldn't have rolled out last month before the wave and people could have kept themselves better protected. Even if people get the new vaccine, there is a second dose that is needed, so we probably won't see the effects from the vaccine until late January to February. California is going on lockdown. I'm sure other states will too. Australia is looking good.

Where did you see that? Are you not in Sacramento, California?

All of California got 21k cases, and Sacramento county saw 938 cases, so what are you referring to, or where is your source?

They traced the infection source and released the information this afternoon. American airline pilots!

LOL, yeap

We have been lucky, and thanks to the lock downs and mandatory masks and other stuff that people whinged about.

I cannot believe how dumb some people are, what with the "it's a hoax" crowd and the anti vaccination muppets, it is amazing that humans haven't become extinct........sooner

Just a friendly reminder that people are eating tide pods.

The common theme isn’t that this is a hoax but rather that people aren’t willing to give up ‘freedoms’ for a virus with these mortality rates.

It isn’t a hoax however with all the factors it definitely isn’t the killer it’s been made up to be. Between rampant testing blowing up the numbers, false positives and deaths and sicknesses not directly related to the virus, the actual severity is a lot lower than you’re Being lead to believe.

I think you are confused sir. All-cause-mortality is higher than the reported number of COVID deaths, which suggests we are under-reporting. This is with lockdowns that have reduced auto deaths, accidental deaths, flu related deaths, etc. The only numbers that are up are overdoses and suicides, but those don’t offset the savings. In fact, before the virus hit the midwest, many states were reporting a yearly deficit in deaths due to the lockdowns. And remember, this is with countermeasures. What would be the worst case scenario if we hadn’t done anything? A lot worse, which is what they said all along. Not just COVID deaths, but overwhelmed hospitals would lead to large amounts of collateral deaths.

The hoax people are side-by-side with the deniers. They are almost one-in-the-same in how they seem to just not get it. What else was causing a 7.5 fold increase in all-cause-mortality? Expected deaths in New York City in one week was 1,037, and they got 7,863 deaths. What is your explanation?

Just to paint the severity in a different way, New Jersey is the worst state with 1,953 deaths per million from COVID for the year. That is one COVID death per 512 people. In New York City, their mortality is one COVID death per 244 people. Just to extrapolate to the whole country if the whole country eventually saw the same number of deaths, we would have 1.345 million people die. That number is 38 times as worse as the seasonal flu (35k average estimated deaths), and again, this is with countermeasures.

There is no way to disguise or inflate these numbers. When people deny the severity of this pandemic, they are not making a trivial error. To steal an analogy from Richard Dawkins, when describing evolution versus young-earth-creationists, it would be like saying the distance across the United States from Florida to Washington is 73 miles when it is in fact 2,802 miles.

Now to the topic that I came here for:

Would you be willing to get a COVID vaccine in exchange for $1,500 stimulus check?

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/03/1500...ould-work.html

I think this is a bad move. I get the idea, which is to incentivize people to go get the vaccine, so we can get the adoption rate above 75%, but America has already demonstrated how defiant they are, and I think this will just be fuel-for-the-fire for any anti-vaccers. I doubt this will happen.

If anyone wants a look into epidemiological tracing then this is good info. Just for clarification, they are not suggesting it is airborne in the classical sense. They are suggesting that respiratory droplets on the smaller spectrum in a presence of air conditioning or wind of a gentle and constant vector could act to transmit the respiratory droplets much further than typical, which suggests that indoor dinning is not without its risks, even if people are socially distancing. In this case, two people were infected from a distance downstream of the infected person--one by over 6.5 meters or 21 feet within five minutes.
