No test results. My friend at the provider thinks mine and about 50 other tests have been lost. (They were somehow in Virginia last week.) -- nm - Tim Apr 6, 09:14 3
- darn it, loosi! -- nm - prayformojo Apr 6, 09:19
- That'll flatten the curve! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:17 1
  - Can’t have more cases if you never process the tests. *guy pointing at head meme* -- nm - Tim Apr 6, 09:20
A friend of mine from work just told me that she thinks she has it. They are waiting on the test results. - sycor Apr 6, 09:11
On oblique's rec I installed the new Edge on our PC. It's actually really good. - spamlet Apr 6, 09:04 3
- I've been taking a lot of time these past few days to switch my work use over to it. We also started using a product called passwordstate which does -- (edited) - oblique Apr 6, 09:12
- it's my goto on Surface Go - chrome won't even run. they've gotten smart about their development. - colin Apr 6, 09:08

Look, I’m glad they are making bank, but the lawn care guys are here for the 4th time in 7 days. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 09:01
Delta and United have extended 2020 elite member status through 2021. (American almost certainly to follow) -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 09:01 7
- Q: I have a flight scheduled for the first week of June. Obviously, I'm not going now but they haven't cancelled the flight as of yet. - Krusty Apr 6, 09:06 4
  - Yeah, wait, if you cancel, they will probably charge you a fee. It's most likely getting cancelled by them at this point. -- nm* - Andie Apr 6, 09:09 1
    - Even if it doesn't cancel (and I think good odds that it does cancel) they've been extending no-free credits bit by bit as well - ty97 Apr 6, 09:10
  - Wait and see. Most airlines haven't pushed their reduction (or at least their full reduction) through June, waiting to see what happens. - ty97 Apr 6, 09:07 1
    - Delta -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 09:22
- wonder if Southwest will let me keep my A List through the end of 2021 since there isnt a way - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:04 1
  - Delta went first, United jumped on board, I expect American, Southwest, Jetblue, Alaska will all follow suit -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 09:08
New method of passing for QBs. -- (link*) - Shaun Apr 6, 08:52 10
- You all suck. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:09
- I mean, unless they add a nifty 360 spin move into it, seems kinda boring. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:07
- Still superior to ESPN's QBR. Stop trying to make QBR happen, ESPN. It's not going to happen. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 6, 08:55
- Very cool but... - Krusty Apr 6, 08:53 5
  - Right. They might not know it's coming, but they're so huge there's no way it gets passed them. -- nm - Turd ferguson Apr 6, 08:55 4
    - I could see it being used for a sideline pass in traffic, but yeah. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:56 3
      - Clearly very situational, but I could see this happening on a right scramble. The angle that the ball flies out could get around the line. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:04 2
        
        Possibly, but even early an LB could snag, deflect, or knockdown. Corners would converge quick at the end. Better to throw it away for certain. -- nm - VMan Apr 6, 09:06 1
        
        I mean Mahommes already throws side-arm against the grain, so this is the next evolution! -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 09:10
- I actually saw Luck do this in practice. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:53
Box Lunch has Funko Pops on clearance. It's buy two, get two free, too. -- (link) - David Apr 6, 08:48 6

  - they do have a bunch of others which are around $9, but not part of that deal. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:00
  - Yeah, that and Black Manta. But that only gets me half way there. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:58 3
    - I would get bill lumbergh -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:01 2
      - Truman, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. - Spawn Apr 6, 09:16 1
        
        *mumbles incoherently about spawn's stapler* -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:18

  - Opposing view. -- (pic) - Meg Apr 6, 09:15 [Attachment]
Loosi, 'splain. No ventilator. -- (link) - zork Apr 6, 08:24 8

  - The Internet Medical Board will hear about this! -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 08:47 5
    - I'll lose my internet medical license! -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:50 4
      - You can always reapply. You just have to repass the internet medical boards. - B-A-ron Apr 6, 08:53 2
        
        It's never lupus. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:54 1
        
        That's the bonus question! -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 6, 08:55
      - We hereby revoke your right to say, "I am not a doctor but I play one on the internet!" -- nm - Internet Medical Board Apr 6, 08:51
- Looks like photoshop, I can tell from some of the pixels and having seen a few ‘shops in my day. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:27
Anyone else thinking that the Sunday numbers for cases/deaths reporting is just going to be low because it's Sunday and we haven't really leveled out? -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 08:10 6
- Figures are normally lower on the weekends. -- nm - LMS Apr 6, 08:26
- There was a dip in reported deaths last Sunday, which seemed to be folded into Monday's report. We'll see if that repeats. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 08:23
- Doctors don't take Sunday off. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:12 2
  - I just wondered if tests didn't get processed as quickly on the weekend. -- nm - pmb Apr 6, 08:16 1
    - Oh, good point. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:17
- I need three days in a row to call any trend. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:11

The WI elections tomorrow are the normal April municipal elections as well as the primaries. - spamlet Apr 6, 07:53 15
- It encourages people to go outside during a stay-at-home order during a pandemic. It's really not okay. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 07:56 14
  - I just have to disagree. Proper safety precautions can be taken. People are going to the grocery stores. Dramatically social distance and disinfect. - Qale Apr 6, 08:54 2
    - What about our right to party? -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 09:01 1
      - Mom threw away my best porno mag, Spamlet! -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 09:14

    - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 08:13
  - Then you'd be okay with Trump cancelling the general election in November if we're in another wave? - spamlet Apr 6, 07:58 8
    - As I mentioned above. Absolutely not. We should do whatever it takes to ensure voting happens as scheduled. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 08:55

    - We have more time to prepare for mail in ballots or other options before November. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 07:59 4
      - Most states don't have those provisions and most state legislatures will be out of session by June 1. -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 08:01 2
        
        We (IN) pushed ours out so we can prepare for mail-in. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:27

      - You are right but it won't happen. You need two sides to agree in most states. One side will not because voter suppression helps them win. -- (edited) - Bacon Apr 6, 08:00

Donnie latched on to the magic pill because he loves a magic pill, especially if it might cover up his failure. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:41 21
- Yup. - znufrii Apr 6, 07:44 10
  - I get that he never admits he's wrong, but wouldn't the people dying be the people that actually believe in him? - JaxSean Apr 6, 07:57
  - If they all die, nobody will know he was wrong. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 07:51 3
    - Sounds like the Thanos line directed at Tony, Steve, and Thor at the end of Endgame. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 07:54 2
      - Spoiler! -- nm - zork Apr 6, 08:30
      - He is, inevitable. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:08
  - Admit he was wrong? HAHAHAHAHA, if he was the last person on the planet and caused the deaths of everyone else he still would blame the dead for dying -- nm - Bacon Apr 6, 07:46
  - All of them. All of them have to die before he admits he's wrong. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:46 3
    - He wouldn't admit it even then. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 6, 08:12
    - "Well? Whaddya gonna do." -- nm - President of the Ashes Apr 6, 07:48
    - exactly. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 6, 07:47
- Seems like the antivirals like remdesivir are more likely to be the magic pill. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 07:43 9
  - But choloroquine is cheap and readily available. That's why it was exciting if it worked. - spamlet Apr 6, 07:46 4
    - The problem is, he's so fixated on it that he's preventing the experts from doing their job. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:48 3
      - I would imagine people in research capabilities can move beyond what Trump says and do their jobs. If they find something that works, it will get out. -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 07:54 2
        
        He's reportedly actively wasting the time of his task force. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 08:03
        
        Luckily for the world, there's a whole world of scientists working on this. - JD Apr 6, 08:01
  - Antivirals are great but not a cure all. He thinks this is a magic pill that erases his failure. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:45
  - An amusingly written article on the difficulties in producing this -- (link) - Reagen Apr 6, 07:45 2
    - I love that you know where to get hilarious chemistry articles -- nm - con_carne Apr 6, 09:11

- Was this pron? - Spawn Apr 6, 07:42
Really the only way to stop it in NYC would have been loads of testing in the beginning. We had fair warning. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 07:39
