  - I'm seriously wondering if it's this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 14:31 3
    - IF so, here they consider onions a cure-all, cause there were none left last I went to the store. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 24, 14:33 2

- 52 MTA employees tested positive for COVID. Unknown number out but no confirmed COVID test -- (link) - ty97 Mar 24, 14:11 1
  - 40 TSA agents tested positive, for perspective, and that's more than any other agency in DHS by miles. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 24, 14:13
- And there it is, MTA moving to essential service plan. -- (link) - ty97 Mar 24, 14:08 2
  - DC did that last week I think, if not earlier. It's all starting to blur. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 14:11
  - Those are the ridership drop % if I read correctly -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:11
- Well Pres Cuomo did say ridership was down 70% -- nm - eag Mar 24, 14:07 8
  - It is overall, yeah, but apparently there was still crowding on a couple of lines at rush hour today because of the changes -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:09 6
    - When we walked the dogs this afternoon a CTA bus went by and there was nobody on it except the driver. -- nm - pmb Mar 24, 14:12 5

        Our buses are free (technically not free, but essentially free) as you have to board and exit through the back door now -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:16 2
        
        ours too since last week -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:19 1
        
        actually several trans dist have stopped collecting fares completely, it covers only 5% of op costs, more than the cost of counting, auditing etc -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:20
      - I have not been in a subway station in weeks. The buses I see go by on Broadway are empty or virtually empty all the time though. - ty97 Mar 24, 14:14

I get the curve and exponents and all, but I still can't quite fathom: Cuomo says we will now need 140K hospital beds (instead of 110k) at peak. - ty97 Mar 24, 13:55 8
- And they'll all be empty by Easter! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 24, 14:06
- ancient strategy. always ask for more than you need [knowing you won't get it], and you will compromise for a number closer to what you really need. -- nm* - Peglegpete Mar 24, 14:01 1
  - hope so, but still, the fact that he increased the ask by 30,000 is frightening -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:03
- That would be 15% of all U.S. hospital beds (924k) in normal times. (fewer than 70k used for adult intensive care) -- (link) - Max Mar 24, 13:58
- That’s - alarming. It assumes about .5 million infected at the same time given the critical to infected ratio? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 24, 13:56 2
  - At a rate of 15% hospitalization, that implies 933,000 I think. At rate of 20% hospitalization 700,00. BUT (goodish news?) - ty97 Mar 24, 13:59 1
    - Right sorry -- nm - JackDawson Mar 24, 14:25

jumanji 2 is a lot of fun. Kelly and I are loving The Rock and Hart channeling (spoils) - Will Hunting Mar 24, 13:52 7
- Not to sound pedantic (HA!), but it's Jumanji 3. There's a direct tie-in to the original at the end. -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 13:57
- It's cute. They retread the jokes a little hard which dampens the enjoyment a bit. I have yet to rewatch it/rent/buy it for home but did see it in - oblique Mar 24, 13:54
- My favorite for both movies has been how well Jack Black has portrayed his character. -- nm - Max Mar 24, 13:53 4
  - He is spectacular. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 24, 13:56
  - Still looking for a Tropic Thunder 2 -- nm - budice Mar 24, 13:55 2

- when was in put in there, did he get it from another inmate or a guard.... -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:12 1
  - Has to be from a guard. Mexico and Cnetral America have very few cases. They are getting it from us. -- (edited) - loosilu Mar 24, 14:16
- They're monitoring more than 40 right now. At 14 facilities! Immigraton hearings are all cancelled. I'm sure this will all turn out fine. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 24, 13:55
- So that's not good. That's gonna be worse than Rikers. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 24, 13:53
Mets announce Noah Syndergaard will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Thursday. -- (link) - budice Mar 24, 13:44 3

- guess he's got time for another one since there's not going to be baseball this year -- nm - Tim Mar 24, 13:50
- Not like there will be a baseball season this year anyway, so might as well -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 13:48

- It could, will be interesting to see -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 13:49
- It would be interesting to see a comparison between that and the effect on high-rise development post 9/11. Insurance could change too. -- nm - Max Mar 24, 13:26 1

    - I don't have a link but there is a lot of talk of going to mail in ballots. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 14:08
  - Someone was telling me if that the elections are skipped, Pelosi becomes president in January -- nm - Beryllium Mar 24, 13:36 8
    - I don’t think so because none of the house would be re-elected either. You’d have 66 senators and that’s it. -- nm - spamlet Mar 24, 13:39 5
      - This person told me it was "in the constitution".... heh -- nm - Beryllium Mar 24, 13:50 1
        
        People who use the phrase "it's in the Constitution" have likely never read the Constitution. Similar to people who say "it's in the Bible." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 24, 14:15
