Heh, so Amazon and Netflix saved the market today - go figure 🙄 -- nm - Meg Apr 16, 13:43
PS people, don't forget to claim your free games, The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey. -- nm - Shaun Apr 16, 13:40 3
- Thanks, I'm downloading them now. - Marlowe Apr 16, 13:43

This is awesome, a friend of a friend is building these to protect people working in ICUs -- (link) - znufrii Apr 16, 13:38
Just stumbled on this and I love it -- (link) - Jovian Apr 16, 13:32 [youtube] 1
- Less random band, more Kristin (and "Dan") version. -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Apr 16, 13:51 [youtube]
This audio leak should make today's briefing interesting -- (link) - ty97 Apr 16, 13:11 19
- add to this we just found $55M was paid to a bankrupt company with no employees for N95 masks that were never delivered (of course). -- nm - colin Apr 16, 13:47

  - Ctrl-F "test" - Phrase Not Found -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 13:35 7
    - Yep. No way to know when to begin phase 1 if you aren't tracking and testing. -- nm - TWuG Apr 16, 13:36 6

        Two weeks, and then two weeks of no cases or controlled/tracked cases for each subsequent phase? -- nm - JackDawson Apr 16, 13:42 3
        
        I dunno, with no testing capability it's all meaningless and arbitrary. Just a precursor to subsequent waves. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 13:47

  - The guidelines are good. But only as good as any timeline used to implement them. Misjudge when it's appropriate to enact - TWuG Apr 16, 13:35 2
    - That's the incomplete and stupid part. The real issue is what are the conditions that would need to exist and be on participating in these phases. -- nm - pmb Apr 16, 13:37
    - Yup -- nm - JackDawson Apr 16, 13:36
  - Unsurprisingly incomplete and therefore stupid. -- nm - pmb Apr 16, 13:33
